But what else can a person do—jump up and down until his face turns blue? There may be a lot of complaints about The Battalion, but it sure is good to know that the paper allows people to air their thoughts. It is a forum for which each student should be grateful, and which everyone should take advantage of. Granted, we have respect for another’s freedom to voice his feel ings, but there is a big difference between allowing such a right and respecting it at the same time. I can’t have much respect for people wishing physical harm to vis iting players in a competitive sport. I can’t have much respect for people downgrading particular visit ing competitors simply because they play for the opposition. I can’t have much respect for those who nearly pray that a fight will begin while at the same time assur ing themselves that the cause would not lie with the home team. It is equally pitiful that the yell leaders are preoccupied with various personal feelings that inhibit their ability to control the crowds attend ing Aggie sporting events. It had always been my hope that during my years at Texas A&M we would beat t.u. at everything. My wish has been fulfilled, but I sure didn’t want the justifications behind that burning Aggie desire to branch away from that of the past. Freedom of expression. Is it an attribute or a drawback? Scott Keltner ’76 was a small child. The new tower seems very impersonal. Although this may seem trivial, there are others who wish to pre serve A&M’s past. I believe that the message on the old tower is an im portant part of that past. Mike Haines 79 Maintenance men Tower message Editor: Now that Texas A&M has entered its centennial year and the campus is undergoing so many renovations, there is one area where I feel an im provement mas have been over looked. The area is the large campLis water tower. The old water tower had the message “Welcome to Aggieland” painted on its side. I always thought the message was an excellent way to greet visitors to our campLis. I re member the tower from the time I Sun Theaters 333 University 846-9808 The only movies in town.

Surely they know when they are going into a girls’ dorm. Would it be so difficidt to work on Dunn and Aston before 12 noon? Our visitation hours supposedly apply to all males, from grandfathers to boyfriends. Where do maintenance men fit into this picture? Terresa Jan Bailey ’79 Editor: As a resident of Krueger Hall, I am disgusted with the maintenance men who work in this dormitory. Their total disregard for our visita tion hours is at best embarassing and at worst obnoxious. We have hours that allow males in the dorm from 12 noon to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday, from 12 noon to 1:30 a.m. on Fridays, from 10a.m. to 1:30 a.m. Saturdays and from 10a.m. to9p.m. Sundays. Granted, this schedule may seem somewhat confusing, but with signs posted on every floor and in the halls the great majority of people with an education above sec ond grade level soon have it mas tered. Undoubtedly maintenance men do not fall into the above categ ory. Weekday mornings before 9 o’clock a girl hears one knock, the opening of a door and as females grab for robes or blankets, in steps the maintenance man, who with plumber’s helper in hand an- noLinces, “Maintenance! My suite- mate awoke one morning and found one of the over-anxious workers in our bathroom. As she lay there in bed, grabbing for cover and trying to remain calm, the uninvited early vis itor came, stood at the end of her bed, and explained proper flushing procedures. Stories like this and worse are numerous. I along with many others have complained to our Resident Advisors only to be told that nothing degrees Editor: Today the Bachelor of Arts and Science Degrees do not carry the same weight in many fields as they did a few years ago. There are many students, includ ing myself, who feel a need for con tinuing their edvication in order to meet personal goals, to possess fi nancial security and to have a choice of interesting vocations. Often a master’s degree in the cur rent field of study is not the answer. There are two other possibilities open to you. These are a master’s degree in business administration or a law degree. In most all of the better business and law colleges around the nation no prerequisites are required as far as an undergraduate major goes. These outstanding universities are eager for a diverse student body con sisting of majors in all fields. If you are interested in either of these fields and have any questions, I would like to personally invite you to attend the MBA-Law Day. It con sists of former Texas A&M students who have attended excellent busi ness and law schools across the na tion and have done well in these fields. There will also be a luncheon you can attend at your discretion.
