Manners needed here, Ag says
“I’ve never seen a guy get so much mileage out of a
three-point field goal!”
Editor:
I purchased membership in the
Computer Services Corporation
this past summer. I can’t remem
ber when I’ve been stung so badly,
I’m sure that other CSC cardhold
ers are in the same boat.
The “boat” is simply this. Those
who purchased memberships dur
ing the pre-advertising campaign
paid $28.50. Now the price is
$49.50 and for what J don’t yet
know. When I purchased member
ship, I was to receive a new cata
log free this fall with a list of
all participating businesses in
Bryan and College Station. I
never heard from CSC after the
initial card packet had been sent,
which did not include the new
list and catalog. After contacting
CSC, I found that the new cata
logs will now be available at cost;
two dollars—four times per year.
I am perturbed to say the least.
If enough perturbed CSC card
holders voiced their opinions to
Dean Hannigan, The Bryan Bet
ter Business Bureau, The Bat
talion, and, oh yes, CSC, I am
sure something can be done.
(Writing letters to these people
and organizations was suggested
to me by Dean Stafford.) I would
like to hear from other perturbed
CSC cardholders and urge those
considering membership to think
twice before wasting their money.

Editor:
Let us examine Mark Olsen’s
argument in defense of the Bon
fire when faced by concerned en
vironmentalists. The first argu
ment, and obviously the most tell
ing, is that the owner of Texas
International Speedway plans to
bulldoze the trees into a parking
lot, so why don’t the Ags take
advantage of this and use the
doomed trees for the Bonfire.
This argument ignores the fact
that bulldozers cost money,
whereas freshmen don’t. It is pos
sible, not probable, that the owner
of Texas International Speedway
had no intention of cutting those
trees unless he could get it done
for free by unknowing Aggies.
We don’t know this to be true,
but it is something to think
about.
Another argument of Olsen’s
is that Ags do a lot for the en
vironment once they get out of
school. In reply to this it should
be considered that if we continue
to sacrifice our natural beauty
and environmental balance for the
sake of tradition (or masculinity,
whichever fits) then it is possible
that by the time we get out of
A&M there may not be an en-

Editor:
It is my sincere hope there will
be a large turnout for this year’s
Man Your Manners forum, be
cause it came as a shock, this past
weekend, to see Aggies being
selfish and extremely inconsider
ate.
Sunday afternoon behind the
MSC several women from TWU
had assembled suitcases and
clothing-bags in preparation for
their return trip to Denton. Most
of the Tessie were with their
dates; however, the girl doing the
driving was unescorted.
ness have enough sense to realize
of whom I write, I hope they are
proud—they made me sick.
Mark Julicher
I came upon this group with
another member of the Tessie
party to find four “knightly gen-
telmen” getting in one last good-
by while the driver was making
difficult progress loading her car.
I proceeded to load the car for
her—still none of the others made
an effort to assist. In fact, when
I had finished, the four were still
hanging all over their dates.
If the men guilty of this rude-
