Picking up The Batt is the highlight of my day. I especially enjoy reading Karl Pallmeyer’s and Mike Sullivan’s well-thought-out, informative columns. They have a real knack for knowing exactly what’s on students’ minds and presenting those subjects in a sensitive manner. I was especially touched by Karl’s appeal for money based on his conversation with God. I am enclosing $100 for Karl and Mike to use however they see fit. I only hope they’ll be with us forever. Libby Commie ’90 A-1 addiction EDITOR: I am writing in reference to the recent A-1 Steak Sauce controversy. I, too, was a closet A-1 lover. I couldn’t help myself. I put it on everything. Green beans, pancakes, even my cat’s food. But then I found help. I joined A-1 Steak Sauce Lovers Anonymous. Thanks to this caring group of people, I’m down to a bottle a day. So for those of you out there who don’t like A-1, I’ve only got one thing to say: Highway 6 runs both ways. Jerry Geekman ’00 Nonsense EDITOR: Walk like an Egyptian. sakfthea;h daghen 87 b.c. Pro bow Bet yo won't EDITOR: This is the third time I’ve written to you. Maybe this time you’ll have the guts to run my letter. Wally Sligfeed ’88 Them biased opinions EDITOR: I am writing because of a disturbing trend I see developing on your Opinion Page. More and more, I am casting your paper aside in utter disgust because of the biased and single-sided opinions appearing on page 2. You should be ashamed. Don’t you understand that opinions are supposed to reflect the ideals of the majority? Don’t you know that the attitudes of your columnists are supposed to reflect years of careful study and analysis — the results of which should mirror the mentality of the student body at large? Trying to follow some of the logic of Battalion columnists gives me a Texas-size headache. And I know I speak for my fellow Ags when I say that reading some of the radical ideas on your Opinion Page is bad for this University. Students should be seen and not heard, Aggies! Get with the program. Your opinions don’t belong on the Opinion Page. And if any of you open-minded, free-thinking yellow-type journalists disagrees — Highway 6 runs a quarter-mile in 13 seconds flat! So there. Tricky Spengetti III, graduate student P.S. My daddy went here, my uncle went here, my granddaddy went here, my brothers go here, and my dog looks a lot like Reveille. McCaw ~7 8 1 To n 12 EDITOR: I am, like, so fed up with this “bowhead” crap that you people have been running every day. It’s like, “Make Fun of Greek W’eek” or something. I happen to think that a bow is a fashion accessory. How would you like it if we started calling you “batthead” — or is that “fa thead?” Heidi N. Sky ‘89 Another real issue EDITOR: I’m mad as hell, and I’m not going to take it anymore. I’m sick of all the bulls— that goes on on this campus. Em so mad I just want to throw up. No one cares that I’m angry; no one wants to listen to me. But I’m not going to take it anymore. I’m sick of all the nonsense that goes on on this campus. How can you call yourselves reaf Aggies? You're not real Aggies. Rea/Aggies wouldn’t let these things happen. I can’t believe you call yourselves rea/Aggies. You're two-percenters — all of you. Sniffy O’Conner ’87 Bod Ag EDITOR: Last week, w'hile walking across campus to my parked car, I decided to put a little faith in my good-natured fellow Aggies. My backpack was making my soft, sensuous shoulders sore, so I decided to leave it on the grass at the corner of Houston and Joe Routt streets and come back with my car and pick it up. When I returned, my backpack had been stolen. Yes, fellow Ags, my backpack was gone and so was everything in it — $400 in cash, a Hewlett-Packard programmable calculator, my Aggie Ring, a Rolex watch, a pair of earrings given to me by a sorority sister when I was a freshman and a month’s supply of Pamprin. I can’t believe the way this campus is changing for the worse. Whoever took it, you are a very, very naughty Aggie! Where’s your compassion, your sense of decency and your basic concern for your fellow Ag? Well, I don’t even care if I get my stolen property back. The simple fact that you will rot in hell for your misdeeds is restitution enough for me. Sally Sarus ’87
