Yell leader wants
support for team
Editor:
I would like to use this letter
to express my concern about the
attendance at our basketball
games. Coach Metcalf, Marvin
Tate, and others have expressed
their concern to the yell leaders
just recently. When we have
traveled to other Southwest Con
ference schools, they have either
filled or almost filled their gym
nasiums. So far we have not come
very close to filling G. Rollie
White for a ball game.
All I am asking is for more
Aggies to give a damn and go to
the ball game tonight. Let’s show
the ’sips we really aren’t “Poor
Aggies!” Beat the hell outa t.u.!

They pushed him around, grabbed
his hair, and gave him a lot of
lip.
Whether this young man was
expressing his opinion or just
forgot to stand up, it doesn’t mat
ter. In this country people are
supposed to be able to express
themselves without fear of ha
rassment. The seniors were wrong
in what they did and I think they
owe the young man, the corps,
and Texas A&M an apology.

During the past several days,
there have been several opinions
expressed in your paper concern
ing the question of Silver Taps.
Most of the comments made
seemed to have some rational
thought behind them. Now, how
ever, I find that an “open letter”
published under the Listen Up
section seems to be rather asinine
with the argument contained
therein to be absurd.

Monday as the movie academy
announced candidates for its 1970
Oscars.
The star of “Patton,” George
C. Scott, was a best actor nomi
nee, posing a dilemma for acad
emy members: Should they vote
for a man who has said that if he
wins he won’t accept the honor?
Nominated in the past as best
supporting actor in “Anatomy of
a Murder” and “The Hustler,”
Scott criticized academy methods
of nomination and voting and said
he felt the awards were useless.

films in Monday’s preliminary

Love is a present state of bliss. Which leads
to a future state of marriage. And whatever else
marriage means, it certainly means
responsibilities.
That’s why it pays to plan for both now.
By investing in our specially designed life
insurance program while you’re still in school,
the cost of coverage will be a lot less. And the
sooner you start, the more security you’ll
be building.
Look into it now for then. Call our
