Editor:
Your editorial on the trial of
William Galley (March 29) re
flects the callous attitude which
the American people have taken
toward the people of South Viet
nam. You stated “that jury had
to convict Galley just to keep the
Army’s esteem from slipping any
further.” Gentlemen, William Gal
ley was convicted because he ma
liciously murderd 22 helpless hu
man beings. These people were
mothers, brothers, children and
lovers of human beings (whom
we are supposedly trying to save
from Communism).
How can you lose sight of their
humanity and just say that Gal
ley was convicted because he was
the “low man on the totem pole.”
Even if Galley was under orders
(which is still in question), he
should have realized (after check
ing) that the people were de
fenseless civilians, and that they
had no reason to die. But his
callousness, like yours, submerg
ed any qualms of consciousness,
and innocent people who, under

Editor:
Texas A&M University will be
inaugurating a new president in
April and citizens in this area
are urged to clean up yards,
streets and buildings so our many
important visitors will be im
pressed with the Bryan-College
Station area.
On two successive Sundays I
have walked through the campus
after church and, from the garb
most of the students I met were
wearing (or not wearing in the
case of shoes), I think it is time
that the A&M students take a
second look at themselves and
clean themselves up as well as
our surroundings. There used to
be times when we wore what was
known as our “Sunday best” and
it was a pleasure to see everyone
dressed up on Sunday. Now, it
looks like most students have no
respect for the Lord’s Day.
We hear all the talk about be
ing against tradition and “The
Establishment” — well by being
dirty, disheveled, barefooted, is
that the kind of message we want
to give to the many people who
will be visiting our campus ?
I have lived in this area since
the early ’40s—and I believe the
records of the graduates up to
the last couple of years, since
these rebellious ones came to the
campus, I believe the records of
the graduates of previous years
will stand longer and will have
a stronger message to the world
and will make a better contribu
tion to the world than the dirty,
barefoot ones I saw on my walk
across the campus the past two
Sundays.
Let’s clean up ourselves, Ag-

Editor:
After reading excerpts from
Van Henry Archer’s letter to
President Nixon expressing the
Bexar County GOP’s support for
Lt. Galley, I wanted to be sick.
Mr. Archer says: “Since when
does a Vietnamese life mean as
much as one American life or
even two hundred Vietnamese to
one American ? . . . this man
(Lt. Galley) is not a criminal. He
did not kill another American.”
Since when can Americans sit
in judgement of others and de
clare them beneath us ? Since
when does any life mean more
than another? Since when is it
not a crime for an American sol
dier (or civilian) to kill a help
less human being, American or
not ?
To downgrade the Vietnamese
to the level of trash beneath our
glorious American boots is a
stupid thing for any leader to do.
Why, then, should we waste val
uable American lives for such
worthless foreign lives ? Then is
the whole Indochina war sense
less ? Mr. Archer what do you
think ?
Is the war just a convenient
place for Americans to kill with
out hurting any “people”?
Incidentally, I do not think it
would be right to severely pun
ish Lt. Galley as it is evident
that My Lai was not an isolated
incident. We are all guilty of
murder in Vietnam, because we,
the people, are the rulers of
America, and its armed forces.
Who can judge himself guilty ?

Transcendental Meditation is natural, spontaneous tech
nique which allows each individual to expand his mind and
improve his life. It is practiced for a few minutes morn
ing and evening. During this time the body gains profound
rest while the mind expands to full awareness. This tech
nique develops creative intelligence and improves the clar
ity of the thinking process. Transcendental meditation, by
developing the inner mechanics of thinking and exper
ience, insures the full development of the individual. The
practice is unique since it involves no concentration or
contemplation, no suggestion or control. It is easily learned
by anyone.
