The general attitude seems to be
apathy in both civilian and Corps
segments; Corps members are re
quired to attend, but I believe there
is a substantial percentage who ac
tively seek ways to get out of
going, or just lock their doors and
pretend to have gone.
Silver Taps is an institution uni
que to Texas A&M, and should be
supported without qualification by
the students, but on its present
course it will experience the fate of
Sunday evening meals in Duncan
and Sbisa.

Poor story
Editor:
This is in response to your Dec. 3
game story about the t.u. game and
directed primarily at your half-
Aggie sports editor.
It really made me sad to see that
the Batt would place someone with
as little true Aggie spirit at the posi
tion of sports editor.
He said that Skip Walker made a
half-hearted attempt to tackle the
UT defensive lineman that scored
the second touchdown. How does
he know what kind of effort Walker
made? Unless he gets off his lazy
butt and tries out for the Fighting
Texas Aggie Team, he has no right
to judge what kind of effort was
made.
I’m proud to be an Aggie and I’m
proud of our football team. Sure, we
got outscored but we didn’t get
beat. It seems if the Batt were really
interested in promoting Aggie
Spirit and supporting our team, that
the managing editor might recon
sider his poor choice of sports
editor.
If the sports editor thinks so little
of the team and everything it stands
for, he might consider transfering to
t.u. I’m sure they could use a sorry
sports writer there.

The UT game story was written
by Tony Gallucci. He is a writer,
not an editor and a writer’s goal is
to distribute facts.—Ed.
Rude again
Editor:
I am an avid concert-goer
throughout Texas which includes
those concerts held at other univer
sities, but I have never witnessed
such rudeness and immaturity of an
audience anywhere but here.
The Shawn Phillip’s concert
caused me to lose the little patience
I had left. When a highly talented
performer such as Phillips is inter
rupted in the middle of a song with
mannerless outbursts like, “Where
are you Jerry?” followed by laugh
ter, and when Phillips has to hint for
a little respect after a delay in the
next song by saying, “Ya’ll just talk
among yourselves,” I want to pack
up and leave this school.
When I transferred here from UT
I had the impression that A&M was
a warm, friendly university, that
people had great respect for their
school, but I have changed my opin
ion. Has tradition left A&M? Is
there anyone left who respects and
appreciates not only other students
but the school and its activities?
I am not proud of A&M for its
students acting in this manner. I
think we have been damn lucky to
have had all of the fine talent we
have had in the past, but I doubt we
will have any of this talent return,
considering the unexcusable disre
spect of students here.

Team supported
Editor:
This is in regard to Stephen
Gilbert’s letter (Aggie tires of wait
ing; Dec. 5) concerning the fighting
Texas Aggie football team.
We believe that even though we
didn’t win the conference the foot
ball team had an outstanding year
and represented our school damn
well. Overall thdy played excel
lently and deserve our continued
support. So to Stephen Gilbert we
say:
Highway 6 runs both ways—haul
ass.
