TO ALL READERS—
How and when will Mrs. Mad-
alyn Murray O’Hair meet her
end? Just like everyone else:
“It is appointed unto man once
to die, but after that the judg
ment.” (Heb. 9:27) In a taped
debate with Bob Harrington,
chaplain of Bourbon Street, New
Orleans, Mrs. O’Hair backed
down from the Holy Spirit of
God.
That tape will be played at
8:30 p.m., Thursday, after the
service of the New Life Crusade
in the All-Faiths Chapel, spon
sored by the Baptist Student
Union and Rev. Jack Taylor. Ac
companying him are Phil Bolin,
an associate of Harrington; and
Bill Wiggins, member of the
Castle Hills Baptist Church in
San Antonio. They both said God
told them to come — they want to
see revival on the A&M cam
pus! Also here today is David
Perry, student at Asbury Meth
odist Seminary in Kentucky, who
has dropped his education this
semester in order to travel and
preach the Gospel of Christ!
Call it fanaticism if you like.
But how do you explain the sud
den closing of the $70,000 Golden
Gate Nightclub in San Antonio,
one minute before midnight last
Saturday ? Owners Guy and
Evelyn Linton painted on the
windows: “Now we’re living for
Jesus!” Their testimonies on tape
can be heard tonight after the
service. And how do you explain
the life-saving transformation of
158 persons, including the maid
and friends of the Lintons? God
moved a church crusade into a
city auditorium in San Antonio
last week — still it couldn’t hold
the overflow crowds of more than
8,000 persons, seeking the miss
ing link in their lives.
God wants revival at A&M.
Suppose there isn’t a missing
link? Well, if we’re wrong, if
Jesus Christ isn’t who He says
He is, we haven’t lost a thing —
BUT IF He is who He says He
is and still you don’t believe,
then you’re in trouble.
I plead with you, Ags, give
Christ a try — you’ve nothing to
lose but an abundant, trans
formed life to gain! Thank you.

Editor:
It seems to us and many other
native Texans that Mr. Brees is
out of place when running down
A&M. He seems to realize that
he is a foreigner which he is, but
does not realize that he is, as
well as many of his fellow “Yan
kees”, getting a good education
at the expense of native Texans.
Sure he has to pay out of state
tuition, but considering neither
he nor his parents are paying
state taxes, native Texans are
supporting his education.
To correct Mr. Bree’s state
ment, “In fact, if we had less Mr.
Gravers and more girls, this
place might be bearable” to read,
“In fact, if we had fewer ‘Yan
kees’ and more native Texans,
this place would be better”,
would be more acceptable to the
Aggies which are Texans.
Wednesday
Texas A&M Sailing Club will
meet at 7:30 p.m. in the Archi
tecture Auditorium. A movie
will be shown on the America’s
Cup.
American Association of Uni
versity Professors will hear a re
port of the Feb. 25 meeting be
tween A&M administrators and
the national office of the AAUP
concerning the Leon Gibbs case
at 7:30 p.m. in Room 226 Library.
Another point mentioned in Mr.
Brees’ letter is the conservative
ness of A&M. Conservativeness
is one of the unique parts of
A&M which might have slowed
down its progress but if liberal
ism leads to student demonstra
tion, such as it has on many
campuses, then progress can be
done away with and forgotten.
For a university to provide a
quality education, it has a better
chance of succeeding without
interference from protest groups
which could be associated with
liberalism.

CADET SLOUCH

Mr. Graver’s father might be
an Ag-Ex and might be donat
ing money to Gene Stallings and
company, but at least he is sup
porting the university which he
attended of his own will. This
is more than can be said of Mr.
Brees, since he can only find
faults with the university he is
attending of his own will.

not to proceed into Czechoslova
kia.
Aid under the Marshall Plan
was available to Czechoslovakia
after the war, but again the So
viets intervened ordering them
not to accept it, he added.
Alexander Dubcek’s regime was
beginning to deepen cooperation
with America, Tobarsky said, but
the Soviet invasion in the summer
of 1968 “nipped it in the bud.”
Matejka said that Czechoslo
vakia participates in scientific
and cultural exchange with Amer
ica, and that 40,000 American
tourists visited the eastern Eu
ropean nation last year. Later
when questioned, he admitted
that only 3,000 or 4,000 Czechs
visit the United States in a year,
and that only a smal part of these
are tourists.
“This is what I dislike about spring!”
This is because not many
Czechs have money for the trip,
he said, adding that restrictions
had been imposed this year for
the first time on Czechs desiring
to visit America.

“It is not strictly a personal
matter,” Matejka said in explana
tion of the restrictions. “Educa
tion in Czechoslovakia is free.
Without restrictions a person can
be educated by the state’s money
and then go to a country where
he would earn more money.”
