( Page 2 College Station, Texas Friday, October 6, 1972 THE BATTALION Listen Up— Students ‘Inspired’ By Display Of Devotion Editor: Inspired by C. C.’s emotional display of devotion to her hus band in her reply to Mr. Blake Cathey’s letter, we felt compelled to express the views which we be lieve to be held by most A&M students. To begin with, we were ex tremely disappointed by the per formance of our “football team” in their game against Army last Saturday night. We were aware of a tremendous contrast in spirit and attitude between the Military Academy and “Old Army.” In addition, we were, as Coach Bel- lard aptly put it, “nauseated” by the entire spectacle. We believe that, unfortunately, the display last weekend was char acteristic of our typical “student- athlete’s” attitude towards his job on the field. Moreover, this atti tude is in complete conflict with the typical jock’s daily exhibition of superiority when associating with the average student. We are ecstatic to learn that at least one jock, C. C.’s hus- IbancJ, is also upset with the status quo. Constructive criticism, as has been suggested by Blake, we believe to be the best cure for the situation and we encourage it. In conclusion, A&M jocks should take pride in their work; after all, they are being well paid for it by student dollars. Leland Baskin John Hoyt ★ ★ ★ Editor: Mr. Cathey’s letter in Tuesday’s Batt said what many Aggies both past and present really feel about the performance of the football team last Saturday night. I have only two things to add to what he said so well. First, I have been following A&M football for more years than most of the members of this team have been alive. I have never been more embarrassed than I was last Saturday. I would prefer to see the Aggie football team lose the remaining games on this year’s schedule using freshmen and sophomores who are really trying and who really care than to see them lose using juniors and ‘$qpjors who don’t care and who-^re so used to losing that they just cannot be embarrassed any more. Any player who doesn’t feel embar rassed over last Saturday’s fiasco has just been around here too long and should “hang ’em up” for the good of Texas A&M foot ball. Finally, Texas A&M has been paying the price of a winning football team for several years now, and this year the cost is more than ever. We have a fine new coach and probably the best coaching staff ever put together in the conference. We can still reap some divi dends from that investment, and we can do it this year, but first, the “losers” should step aside and let someone else have a chance. They certainly couldn’t do any worse than what happened against Army. Dan Williams ’63 ★ ★ ★ Editor: I’d like to air a gripe about band dates. Now when A&M is losing, the band is what makes up for it—at least, partially. We stand and cheer — even though A&M is losing—while the band and their dates get to sit through out the game. Then when the band goes to the field for their exercise, the band dates stand on their seats thus making it im possible for the people sitting down behind them to see. When one sweet young thing was asked to sit down so that others could see, we were told “My husband is in the band, so shaddup.” Somehow I can’t find this state ment relating to the fact of stand ing up. If all the band dates and wives would sit throughout, ev eryone could see. Not only was the game spoiled for us, but also the band—just because of a few immature girls. I hope the band students will start asking the girls to sit throughout, or else leave the bleacher area to stand ... Is that asking too much ? S. Dean ★ ★ ★ Editor: I would like to bring together several different topics which have been discussed over the last few months: bikes, cars and buses. Many people are complaining about all of them, but not usually together. I think we need to real ize what should be our long range goal: get the car off campus. We need also to realize that anything done to get closer to this goal benefits everybody at A&M. By this I mean that the bus system, while only used di rectly by a small percentage of the people at this school, benefits all who come on campus by re moving some of the cars which are clogging our streets. Even though bikes are some what of a miracle at the present, people should be encouraged to ride bikes rather than drive cars on campus. I would rather dodge bikes than cars. Therefore I dif fer from those that advocate the users should pay. However, I want cars off the main campus streets, but I don’t want our campus to be a beauti ful island surrounded by asphalt parking lots. I still believe the only solution is parking garages. Funding is a problem, but I still don’t think the idea should be dismissed. Has the Former Student Asso ciation been approached with this problem ? How about federal fund ing? I suppose I’m being rather presumptuous in assuming the ad ministration hasn’t explored these areas, but I would like to know if perhaps some of the congestion could be alleviated by building parking lots out by Easterwood and the reactor and having shut tle buses run to and from the campus. I can envision mall all over campus—no streets, only traffic allowed would be for deliveries. I would like to see the kind of CADET SLOUCH by Jim Earle Ms. “X”: Thank you for this close-up photograph. Do you have one that is not as close up so we can know more about you? €be Battalion Opinions expressed in The Battalion are those of the student writers only.

Construction of park ing facilities across the railroad tracks is due to begin as soon as money is available. Money must come from private funding, other than government sources.—Ed. ★ ★ ★ Editor: Gentlemen Smith and Palmer neglect to mention one fact in their letter in the Oct. 4 Battalion concerning the “incident” at the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band concert. That fact is lead singer Jim lb botson quite audibly said “Thank you” as the young man was es corted out of the spotlight which rightly belonged to the perform ers on stage. Brian Wood German Film Set Sunday “De Junge Torless,” a prize winning German film describing the effects of crumbling values and sexual confusion on young cadets, will be shown Sunday at 8 p.m. in the Memorial Student Center Ballroom. The film, a Contemporary Arts Committee film series, is based on a novel by the Austrian writer Robert Musil, first published in 1906. The story is told in a modern narrative technique from the point of view of an Austrian cadet of high school age, Torless. Musil has taken a psychological approach similar to that of Freud, although Freud’s major works had not yet been published at that time. The film considered one of the outstanding examples of the “New Wave” in German cinema, has received the Golden Gate Trophy at the International Film Festival in San Francisco in 1966, the Prize of the Association of Inter national Film Critics in Cannes, and the Max-Ophuels-Prize. Admissions to all students is free. ERROR-FREE TYPING NYLON TYPING RIBBON CORRECTION RIBBON ERRORITE AT YOUR BOOKSTORE HE BA <« 6 !!
