into all of the choices offered her.
It is an established fact that all
students and former students of
Texas A&M are bound together by a
mysterious love called the “Spirit of
Aggieland. ” These bonds are closer
than any that could be established by
way of social sororities and frater
nities, and it is my sincere wish thatall
ofthose involved wi th th ese organiza
tions will realize this fact and quit
wasting their time and ours.

Intelligent letter
Editor:
In reading Eliot Lowe’s letter (Let
ter battle begins, March 6), I could
not help but detect a certain twisted
viewofjustice. Lowe says thathad the
yell-leader issue reached state
courts, this “in itself would not be
distasteful; however . . . extensive
coverage by thepress and the delay of
thecourtinhandlingcases. . .would
probably taint the reputation of
A&M”
Ifbeing in court is not the thingthat
is distasteful, Mr. Lowe, what is?
What “would probably taint the
reputation of A&M”? Surely not the
extensive press coverage of our
time-honored traditions! You seem
torevelinhaving“sneakedonebythe
Feds.” Somehow I picture you in
Steve Eberhard’s office kissing his
senior ring and whispering, “Thank
you. Godfather.”

nationalities. At A&M, everyone
from “kickers” to “camel jocks,” and
yes, even girls, can learn, not only
from books, but from each other.
A&M is growing. We must grow with
her. Ifsomethingoldisgood, keep it.
Ifitisnot, disposeofitwithout mercy.
Why do you worry so about the yell
leaders’XandYchromosomes?Ifyou
truly loved A&M, you would not
doubt her inimitabilty. You make an
excuse oftradition, Mr. Lowe. When
you proclaim, “I’m Old Ag,” it is as if
you say, “Don’t talk to me; I’m deaf.
I’m retarded. I will not understand
you.”
It is not your opinions that enrage
me. It is those fingers you keep stuf
fed in your ears.

Poor coverage
Editor:
This letter is in reference to the
coverage (or rather, the LACK
thereof) of the SWC Championship
won by the Aggie basketball team. It
is not everyday a team wins a champ
ionship, and when the title is brought
home by the Aggies, it seems as they
they are entitled to much more
coverage than they received. Not
only did the championship get sligh
ted, but so did the beating of the
University of Texas. Both of these
wins were big stories, yet received
little coverage.
It seems as though the Number 1
team in the conference has been ig
nored nationally for some reason by
both APandUPI,butwhenthehome
newspaper manages to do the same
thing, something is wrong some
where!
Anyway, congratulations to Coach
Shelby Metcalf and to our team for a
job well done!

Bad letter
Editor:
As a fish at A&M I have learned to
love the traditions which make Texas
A&M a unique and superb school.
These traditions and this uniqueness
cause the school to be known nation
wide.
I live on thefourth floor ofByrd E.
Whiteinthemilitaryquad.Becau.se
ofthis Ihavealmost as much exposure
to “Old Army” tradition as a member
of the Corp of Cadets. This exposure
has taught me at least one tradition
which you, the editor (Moses) obvi
ously have not learned. That is that
there is not a school which has the
capital letters T.U., or U.T., but
there is a small school which has the
little letters t.u.
Inseveralinstanceslhaveseenthis
neuseating first case published. I
realize that it may be contained in a
letter written toyouin this way, hut if
the writers of the letter have enough
knowledge to write an intelligent let
ter about A&M then they should
know better. If they don’t, heaven
help them, then they may neverlearn
unlessyoucorrectthatslipofthepen.
