This morning I stood in the foot ball ticket line for two hours and then had to give up my place in order to get to class on time. I was only nine away from the window when I had to leave. The reason I did not get my ticket was because many of the students ahead of me were buy ing tickets for all of their friends, some with any where from 20 to 40 tickets. Both the non-regs and corps were doing this. I do not think this is fair to others. If someone wants to go to the game, he should have to get his own tickets. I understand the Student Senate has control over this, so why doesn’t the Sen ate get off of its duff and straighthen the situation out.

The prob lem became apparent Wednesday at noon. Many girls had given their dates for the Army game their I.D. and activity cards so they could get tickets according to classification. I, for one, had gone and stood in the line at Rollie White (from 7:30-8:45) but had to leave be fore we got to the front of the line. I would have gone late to class but we were having a ma jor essay quiz, thus this was not a wise course of action. In the short break between class, my date and I did not cross paths, so I arrived back at noon—minus my I.D. card. I needed to eat early to make it to my next class, so armed with my precious fee slip and driver’s license I headed for our marvel ous cafeteria. Upon my arrival I was informed that there were rules and that no I.D. card meant no lunch. Granted, the food isn’t that great there but I did pay for that meal. I Batt News Summary I I realize this is a new problem since girls now live on campus, but come on, this is pretty ridi culous. Some method is going to have to be found for us to be allowed to eat when this situa tion arises. This is not the mem orable experience of only one Krueger resident, but of almost every one whose date is getting football tickets. And this isn’t the only football game either. Would it be possible for good old Food Services or Housing or whoever handles this type of pi*oblem to come up with a fea sible solution before the next football game ? I doubt it, sin cerely. Name Withheld by Request ★ ★ ★ Editor: Before the A&M-LSU football game started last Saturday an announcement was made to some 68,000 people in Tiger Stadium that the A&M Rugby Team had lost to LSU 31-9. This was a blat ant and dispicable misrepresenta tion of the truth, and must be rectified immediately. The LSU Rugby Club had chal lenged the A&M Rugby Club to play at LSU before the football game that night. At 1 p.m. the Aggie second team met and de feated the LSU second team 12-10 at Gerry Mander park. At 2:30 p.m. the A&M first team battled what must be described as a pow erful LSU first team. Despite be ing down 17-0 in the first half, the Aggies came back to win 31- 29. This was the first defeat for the LSU Club on their home ground for some time. We do not know who the piti able specimen of a sportsman was who perpetrated the unforgivable fallacy of that pre-football game announcement, but we do have the satisfaction of knowing that the Aggies were the victors of the rugby games.

Texas State Credit Pawn Shop 1014 Texas Ave., Bryan Weingarten Center We were highly impressed with the officiating of both games, and were well entertained by the LSU Club. We found them to be a great bunch of players, and we have some doubts as to whether any of their actual Club members would have sunk so low as to degrade this honorable sports with such a foul display of bad sports manship. However, the incident did occur and we wish to assure all Aggies that both of A&M’s rugby teams were victorious against LSU. We cannot understand why such a blatant lie was announced. Roger I*.
