Sweetheart invites Ao-ffies to TWU
THE BATTALION
Page 2 College Station, Texas Wednesday, November 4, 1971)
Dear Aggies:
You have shown me that unique
Aggie hospitality as well as the
pride you have in Texas A&M —
pride that I too feel very strong
ly. I hope you will accept an
invitation to visit my university
and see the school that, along
with A&M, I am proud to call
“home.” Such an invitation is
open anytime, and with the up
coming SMU-Texas A&M Corps
trip game TWU is sponsoring a
feast at 6:15 p.m. Friday for all
Aggies and Tessies, followed by
a dance at 8 p.m. with music
provided by the Lead Stamp of
Fort Worth.
A midnight yell practice will
follow the dance. Then on Sat
urday — the Aggie win over
SMU, followed by parties—Aggie
style.
Because of the distance be
tween the two schools, it is dif
ficult for Aggies and Tessies to
meet and get acquainted with
one another. But this is a per
fect opportunity. The girls here
are very excited about the week
end. The plans are in full swing
and they are really looking for
ward to a big turn out from
A&M. Don’t let me down, Ags,
for I told them there were 12,000
great guys on their way.
I’ll see you Friday and per
sonally introduce you to a uni
versity you’ll be proud to call
your sister school.

Editor:
I would like to recount an in
cident which should be of inter
est to many Aggies. Last Sun
day, after sighting in some pis
tols, a couple of friends and I
stopped in a local pizza place for
a beer. The place was almost
deserted; those who were there
sat in small groups quietly drink
ing or eating. One individual who
had obviously been drinking for
a long time became quite loud
causing a general case of noise
pollution.
We had finished our beers and
were leaving when we were
again distracted by this individ
ual. He was loudly informing a
“fish” (standing at attention in
front of him) that he was a sen
ior in the corps, had an Aggie
ring, and therefore, had certain
powers over “fish”. I imagine
the “fish” was quite embarrassed
— I know I was. I usually mind
my own business, but in that
case I approached the individual
and told him that I thought he
was disgusting. Needless to say,
he was irritated. He informed
me: (1) I and my non-reg bud
dies did not have to go to school
here, and (2) he was a senior in
the corps and could do what he
wanted with freshmen.
He then became quite belliger
ent. Because of his friend who
seemed to be a sensible person,
because of a couple of people who
worked there and because of the
fact that none of us desired to
hurt a less than sober individual
nothing happened.
I spent over three and a half
years in the corps before I grad
uated. I love the corps and am
damn proud to be an Aggie. It
saddens and disgusts me that a
few individuals who have not yet
grown up can do so much harm
to a fantastic organization. The
next time you hear of a freshman
dropping out of the corps or of
an outsider insulting the corps,
think about the above incident.
As I said, it’s sad that a few
individuals can do so much harm
to the reputation of something
great.

Several proposals and sugges
tions concerning bonfire have
appeared in the Batt in recent
weeks. I would like to express
a proposal of my own, immodest
though it may be.
The central question around
which much of the bonfire dis
cussion revolves is, how signifi
cant are trees ? To some people,
one tree is much the same as an
other; to others, all trees have
an intrinsic value. In order for
everyone at A&M to discover the
value of trees for himself, I sug
gest this year the trees for the
bonfire be gathered not miles
away in a semi-obscure area, but
much nearer and in an obvious
place, where all could witness the
results of the removal.
The best place available would
be the A&M campus itself. It
abounds in oaks, with a scatter
ing of sycamores and sweetgums
to add to the inferno. Transpor
tation time would be reduced
drastically, freeing man-hours to
gather a larger number of trees
for a higher stack. Bigger is
better. Several other benefits
would come out of such an
undertaking. T. U. would un
doubtedly be convinced that the
bonfire is a serious affair indeed,
rather than just a lot of hot air.
Secondly, more Aggies would
get involved, since it would be
much more comfortable to work
on the campus instead of out in
the sticks. Remember, quantity
of participation equals school
spirit. The most important bene
fit, I feel, would be this: A&M
students, faculty and staff would
be able to appreciate and evalu
ate first-hand how the removal
of a large number of trees from
a given area can alter the en
vironment. The fact that the
altered environment happened to
be the one in which we live and

work, rather than a distant and
rarely-seen one, would perhaps
cause people here to become more
aware of the impact of their ac

If this were the case, then the
lesson would be worth the price.

Editor:
Recently, a married student
protested the $30 student services
fee here at TAMU, and I was re
minded that activities at this fine
school were set up for students
long before it was anticipated
married, students would be here
in such large numbers.
I believe there are many stu
dents on the campus who enjoy
taking their dates to football
games, concerts and other activi
ties and will be loyal to A&M
whether we have what he de
scribed as a “poor” team or not.
I have purchased Town Hall
tickets for many years and even
though I’d prefer other entertain
ment than the “rock ’n’ roll” that
seems so popular I will continue
patronizing in order to bring
about better programs in this
area.
If the married student feels he
would get better treatment at
another school, I’d suggest he go
where he is happier rather thaij,
trying to make others unhappy
with his lot.
