Editor: After having read “Meaning of ipirit Escapes Some Ags” by Steve leisin the Sept. 22 issue of the Bat- alion, I was a little confused. The title of the article doesn’t m to fit the contents. I got the listinct impression that Mr. Reis toesn’tfeel that the true meaning of pirit escapes some Ags but practi- allyallAgs. He never uses the word omeorfewor any term synonymous vith them anywhere in the article, nfact he seems to stress the fact that nost Aggies are either guilty of or at east condone all the acts of van- lalism and public drunkenness he efers to. One paragraph in particular seems oshow this: “And God curse the ‘2 per centers.’ How they are bad- mouthed and hated by the student body. But the real two percenters are the Aggies that e mgasa beoeSli low®) ffplota Ti. iNorai EN AL CE i avail# ! StuW atian Spiritless are in minority Prof surveys know what Spirit really is and live up to it.” Of course there are people who go to A&M who do the things Mr. Reis mentions, usually due to some mis guided sense of spirit as he claims. But I think they are definitely in the minority on this campus. Most Ag gies think highly of A&M and want other people to feel the same. I’m sorry Mr. Reis holds this uni versity’s student body in such low esteem. I imagine that after reading his article most Aggies will have an equally low opinion of him. Bill Lancaster ’72 Editor: On Wednesday, September 15, Dr. W. David Maxwell, Dean of the College of Liberal Arts requested me to relay a message concerning student participation in the comple tion of teaching questionnaires. The opportunity for students to give input into teaching question naires is a privelege and not a stu dent right. The lack of the use of this privileges will not only cast a shadow of doubt as to the credibility of student input but also, in other universities, it has caused the recall and eventual dismissal of the privilege. Student input is working at Texas A&M. One reason that the process has worked in the past is that Aggies have been concerned enough to take the time necessary to register their concern. In relation to teach ing effectiveness, the College of Liberal Arts Teaching Question naire and the third annual Student Government Professor Information Questionnaire will offer the student body the chance to directly register student opinion. I urge you to use the privilege of input which is available to the stu dents and help to further the gain in credibility. The cost is small, five to ten minutes and a number two pen cil. The benefits cannot be mea sured.

That’s why we’re conducting a talent search. The competition is bound to be tough, but the rewards are substantial. For instance. As as Intel engineer, you’ll work in an environment where individual contributions are encouraged, recognized and rewarded. In addition, you’ll be eligible for stock options and stock participation plans. And equally important, you’ll be treated to the highly desirable life style of the San Francisco Peninsula.
