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

Dear Sirs:
The Department of Defense
takes pride in commending Texas
A&M for the outstanding officer
graduates who have entered the
military departments of the
United States. The Texas A&M
University Corps of Cadets is
held in high regard and deserves
all of the praise it receives. The
record its graduates have com
piled is a long and distinguished
one and we look forward to this
tradition continuing.
The achievement of Cadet Com
pany F-l, which won the Gen
eral Moore award for the second
consecutive year, certainly de
serves mention. Please convey
our special congratuations to
these cadets.
While we note a decline in
ROTC enrollment among many of
our colleges and universities, the
military services can always turn
toward College Station to “Gig
Em Aggies”.

The Aggie Band faces its busi
est football season with nine
halftime appearances scheduled
for 1970 games.
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.”
