Dear Sirs: I heard on the news yesterday about your “Petition” with 4,000 signatures in support of our coun try in Cambodia. I wish to ex press my relief and gratitude to you. ... I am so pleased to see that “not all” of our college age students are following the be lief’s of a minority group who, in my own opinion, are a paid com munist front to divide this coun try and destroy our educational system. I applaud all of you who signed this “Petition” and am very proud. I was beginning to be lieve that all college age students had been brain washed. ... I do not believe in communism and will not let it be imposed upon me. I have been writing letters all week to every representative I could think of in an attempt to let them know that I am one of the millions in this country who is a member of the silent major ity. I am opposed to students be ing allowed to burn, destroy, de face and use our American Flag as a kleenex. I am opposed to the ignorant people of this coun try who have given a reaction that makes the communists feel that they are winning over us. This is America and I am not going to stand idly by and let “direct” communism be imposed on me or my country. I am 26 years of age, married and have one child. I am a legal secretary of nine years and work five days a week. I do not have time to demonstrate and make noise to be recognized. Demon strations in this country have gotten out of hand . . . the right of peaceful assembly and free dom of speech have been used as an excuse to the very LIMIT of my patience. Again, I wish to thank you for showing me that you care about your country. The whole world has to be shown that WE ALL care. Yours very truly, (Mrs.) Henry LeRoy James instructors attend meet Two Texas A&M instructors with the Firemen’s Training Divi sion are in Seattle, Wash., this week attending the annual In ternational Association of Fire Chiefs Convention.

The Texas A&M University Corps of Cadets is held in high regard and deserves all of the praise it receives.

The renown organization di rected by Lt. Col. E. V. Adams will initiate the year Sept. 12 and help break in the new Astro turf surface on Kyle Field at the Texas A&M-Wichita State game. Four out-of-town appearances Beginning with the A&M-LSU contest in Baton Rouge Sept. 19 and an unusual windup to an 11- game season also are being planned. “In addition to making more appearances than the band has made in a single season before, we will, for the first time, have to get a drill ready for seven straight weekends,” Colonel Ad ams commented. “It’s an un usual situation.” The Aggie Band will march at the Texas Tech game here Oct. 10; TCU here, Oct. 17; at Baylor Oct. 24; Arkansas here, Oct. 31; at SMU (Corps Trip), Nov. 7; Rice here, Nov. 14, and at Texas (Corps Trip), Nov. 26. The band’s only respite will be a three-week period after the LSU game, when the Aggie foot ball team will be at Columbus for Ohio State (Sept. 23) and Ann Arbor for Michigan (Oct. 3). Colonel Adams, who will be embarking on his 25th season as Aggie bandmaster, will operate the band from a sparkling new band hall when the fall semester begins Aug. 31. Bandmen will have little time to become ac quainted with the new facilities, however. Only two weeks are available to prepare for Wichita State game halftime pearance. Adams began directing Aggie Band in 1946. He has the longest tenure among Southwest Conference band directors. The Wichita State game drill will be the 185th he has devised for the organization known for intricate, precision performances and sound described by one fan as “thunder .'and blazes under tasteful re straint.” One dl P< TAKE A TRIP For a wonderful meal at the unbelieveably lowpiil of $0.99 each evening- from 5 to 7 P.
