Aggie writes Nixon
of A&M patriotism
A&M’s 1970-71 Corps of Cadets
information officer has written
President Nixon pointing- out the
demonstration of respect and love
by A&M students for their par
ents “as well as their patriotism,
their faith in the American sys
tem and their confidence in our
future.”
faith in the American system and
their confidence in our future. .
Fitzhug-h pointed out in his
letter that thousands attended
Parents Day activities.
Thomas C. Fitzhug-h III says it
shows “the other side of the coin”
in the current series of campus
disturbances.
The junior g-eophysics major
used the recent Parents’ Week
end program as an example of
the A&M students’ expression of
feelings.
His letter said, in part:
“Sunday afternoon (May 10)
there was a demonstration on our
campus which probably escaped
the attention of your office. As
in the other demonstrations across
the nation, the participants here
were thousands of young, idealis
tic, intelligent and concerned
Americans expressing the inten
sity of their feelings.
“There were, however, two
striking differences between oc
currences here and those else
where. First, there was a sur
prising absence of the photog
raphers, cameramen and reporters
who so readily covered other cam
pus demonstrations. Second, the
purpose of this demonstration was
a radical departure from those
so widely publicized events else
where,” Fitzhugh wrote.
“You see, Mr. President, these
students were demonstrating their
“Sadly enough, elements of the
national press corps were absent.
On the other hand, one can only
speculate on the amount of pub
licity the occasion would have re
ceived, had a small handful of
individuals with far different pur
poses interrupted these proceed
ings.
“The blame for the obvious dis
parity in the amount of attention
given to this responsible, sincere
point-of-view lies not only with
the news media, but also with our
elected public leaders. . . ”
Fitzhugh continued his letter
by noting the Saturday commis
sioning exercises and Final Re
view of the Corps of Cadets, with
Gen. William C. Westmoreland,
Army chief of staff, serving as
commissioning speaker and re
viewing officer.
“It will indeed be interesting to
see if this ‘demonstration’ will
pass as unnoticed as those in the
past.
“If it does , it will not alter
the ideas and beliefs of the par
ticipants. They do not thrive on
publicity and their faith and sin
cerity will remain constant in
even the most difficult of situa
tions.
“Nonetheless, it would be re
freshing if such an event were
to be in the spotlight for once. .
