‘What’s in Athletic Oatmeal?
Editor:
I wish to call attention to the “Ath
letic Oatmeal” column by Tony Gal-
lucci. The article was located on page
five of Friday’s Battalion.
Tony Gallucci is one to talk about
the news media going rampant.
Gallucci talks of people ranting
and raving, when it is he that is carry
ing on.
Wake up, Gallucci, no one needs
to expose the conservatism at Texas
A&M. It is a well known fact.
Maybe a turn to pot has been
made. So what!?
People need a release. Who cares
how they get it? Some people drink,
some smoke, others become police
men and a few write bad sports col-
have oral sex, if they reach an orgasm
while eating.
I agree that some persons have
sensationalized the recent marijuana
incident beyond its importance, but
the way Gallucci worded his column,
he seems to be the “pot” that called
the kettle “black. ”
What special ingredient is in “Ath
letic Oatmeal?”

It’s great when people can live
their lives the way they want and not
harm anyone (except maybe them
selves). But this “news” release,
haphazardly states two different fi
gures for what Galluccie believes to
be the number of pot smokers at
A&M. These figures hurt my head.
They hurt, not because the figures
were too high or too low, of because I
agree or disagree, and not even be
cause they are not fact and provable,
but rather, it hurts to know that Gal
lucci could not even make up his
mind as to which figure he wanted to
use.
Isn t indecisiveness a side-effect of
smoking pot?

I wish to express my appreciation

like I have never met before — kids
who know what they want from col

time. I am proud to be part of this
group. My pride reached a zenith at
the first basketball game. It was the
first time I sang the “Aggie War

and I felt proud to he a “real live

The girls living on my hall in

In a program sponsored by Politi
cal Forum, Ashby presented his
view of the upcoming campaign
year. He termed it a year when
politicians would “promise them
less. ”
“The campaign rhetoric will in
clude the terms fire’, lay off,’ and
‘cut back,’ ’ Ashby predicted. “Con
tradictory to what they have done in
the past, politicians will say we’ve
got to tighten our belts.
Ashby saw this as a by-product ol
New York’s financial woes last year.
He noted that other cities are now
beginning to say, “It could happen
here.”
“Ronald Reagan is in the right
place at the right time, Ashby said,
with the new emphasis on poor-boy
politics.
“He’s been preaching this all
along. The Reagan stand has always
been against more taxes, against big
business and big government. ”
America’s attitude, in Ashby’s
view, is anti-strong leadership, not
wanting a “Mr. Excitement in the
White House. That is where Presi
dent Ford’s strength lies.
Ashby also stressed the:
