Editor: A funny thing happened to me on the way to school the other day: I missed the TAMU bus from the Hensel Apt. area. I de cided to walk and had soon passed the bus up! By the time I reached my destination—the last stop on the bus route—I was about half a block behind it, as I was when I first missed it. I live in the fartherest building from the campus and can usually walk to the main library in about five minutes more time than it takes on the bus, even when it is not rush hour (and I’m quite a bit over 30). Maybe it would be sensible of those of you who will be around next year to “vote with your feet” against spending another $65,000 or whatever your share of that “mass transit” fund will be. (They may make you buy a sticker >to paste on your knee for the privi lege of walking on campus next year, though.) Seriously, walking is not only good for your health, but would be a positive contribution toward the alleviation of the current en ergy “crisis.” Ray Quinn, ’73 ★ ★ ★ Editor: Being a freshman and straight out of high school, I’m afraid that I don’t quite understand every thing that goes on at A&M. I mean just last night the student body was introduced to an All- American footballer who had just registered at A&M. How fantastic! Yea for us! I’ve got nothing against foot ball but basketball’s my game. The Aggies (according to the Houston Chronicle) are now in second place in the SWC but have the possibility and resources to be number one. Why then doesn’t our coach cash in on his re sources ? .fc'isci Help — Write A Letter! A lot of people are talking about it. Your student leaders are doing something about it. The issue—women’s housing, more of it and at a price more people can afford. We believe this issue is the most important one taken up for t ’ t* consideration by Student Government representatives this year and justly reflects the interests and desires of the majority of students attending A&M. We won’t repeat the reasons why A&M needs lower-cost women’s housing or the fact that women on campus can help alleviate housing problems. That has been said in the past and in today’s Battalion. But, we will give you a few hints on how to make your voice heard on the subject and hopefully, how to have a positive effect on the issue, whatever side you may be on. In support of this major issue and in concurrence with Student Government leaders, we urge all students to write a letter to A&M President Jack K. Williams expressing support on the issue. In order for others to read and share your viewpoints, we are asking that these letters be sent to Dr. Williams via The Battalion. The letters will be printed (as many as possible) and then forwarded to Dr. Williams’ office. If you’ve never done anything publicly for A&M before, now’s the time. Without YOUR support and help, the expansion of coeducational housing may be delayed, a decision which could have quite an adverse effect for years to come. Mail or bring by letters to Dr. Jack K.

I hate to sound stupid in asking this question but then I have a feeling that I’m not the one who is stupid. Claire Nelson Wayne Howard resigned from the squad two weeks ago.—Ed. ★ ★ ★ Editor: My family and I would like to thank you (the student body) for your sympathy during our time of pain. We greatly appreciate the beautiful flowers sent to us in memory of Jane. Jane loved Texas A&M and was proud to be an Aggie. She had many friends among the stu dents, faculty and staff and I’m sure they will miss her as we will. She had a high regard for the Silver Taps ceremony which she considered to be a very dignified and touching remembrance serv ice. The ceremony illustrates the closeness of the Aggies as well as the individuality of the school as a whole. Anne Record ★ ★ ★ Editor: The other day I walked into the library for the first time this semester thinking to kill an hour or so. I picked up one of the magazines there and had been reading for a little while when I ran across this bit of wisdom Lost—Yesterday, somewhere between sunrise and sunset, two golden hours, each set with sixty diamond minutes. No reward is offered, for they are gone forever. Horace Mann It served to remind me that I waste a lot of valuable time in non-constructive actions. We would all be wise to think of this whenever we get the urge to “blow off” an hour instead of do ing that studying that should be done.
