Editor:
I wish to lodge a complaint,
but I am sure it will fall to the
wayside like so many others.
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.

Krueger-Dunn complex. 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.

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.

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.
