Ticket hassle cost of winning
Editor:
With all the present bickering
overTAMU football tickets I feel it
is time for me to bicker along with
the rest.
First, I’m sick and tired of stu
dents griping about having to sit in
the end zone or other less desirable
seats because of a high demand for
tickets. I sat on the 40-yard line for 4
years and watched the Aggies lose,
so we should all be glad to sit any
where we can and watch them win.
Second, the high demand for the
Tech game tickets for students
wasn’t for students or their dates. It
was for their friends and relatives
back home who haven’t been to
Aggie games in quite a while but are
now jumping on the bandwagon.
I ve talked to too many students
about this to know how extensive a
practice it is to buy date tickets for
the above-mentioned latecomers.
Third, the demand for the TCU
game student tickets is almost half of
Tech’s, and this game is just as cru-

cial as any other. TCU has been
known to pull some tremendous up
sets of nationally-ranked teams
while having a less than mediocre
squad itself.
Fourth, the demand for the
Baylor game student tickets will be
quite high. I’m sure, but everyone
should remember that two years ago
TAMUsent back 2,000 of its student
tickets to Waco because they
couldn’t sell them here!
What can a responsive and re
sponsible ticket office and athletic
dept, do when the students’ whims
to attend or not to change with
every weekend?
Of course, many will say that I
and my family and friends were
stupid to support a loser for so many
years. But, it’s our university and
team and we can’t ever trade them
in like new cars we don’t like.
Be glad you’re not at Ohio State
where only seniors can get tickets to
any home game! Winning does have
a price.

Girls infringe
Editor:
The infiltration of women into
almost every aspect of man’s world
has now taken another step.
I personally believe the women in
the Corps not only do not belong
there, but from what I have seen,
exhibit little if any Corps pride or
spirit.
The traditional freshman “whip
ping out’’ to upperclassmen when
done by a woman Corps member
reaches, at times, a ludicrous state
and exhibits no respect behind it. I
feel the male members of the Corps
should be rightfully indignant to
this intrusion of the female.
In my eyes this ranks next to the
worst possible potential happening
on this campus, the admission of
women to the Aggie band.

Paint urged
Editor:
So many of the people attending
the games in Kyle Field are an
noyed by the intense itching caused
by the fiberglass seats. A possible
coat or two of a durable, water-proof
paint would certainly help, even if
the Aggies do stand during the en
tire game!
