And we realize r®‘ Aggie doesn’t much care about spectacular p time activities that isn't any reason the chairman and com-- i Knot-Hol- gards to intercollegiate athletics And as a result alumni bickering jockeying for position student spirit and player attitude has reached such a sorry state that ordinary USAC sporting fans are either apathetic of downright beliggerent to our cause NEED THAT LEADER That strong leader is needed badly today to pull the loose ends together and put the department os' a cong basis instead of a continual structive melodramatic type of action haggling hush-hus- h Critics tell us that Utah players have been ignored by the current regime If so the new leader should take this problem into account immediately Let’s get realistic!

Where were the band uniforms? In any case It was a complete atrocity The most sensible solution to tha problem would have been to just stay seated in the stands and let the Utes do the marching which they are capable of doing There is absolutely no comparison to the Uta band in this part of the country And we are not blaming the Aggie band for that Tha fact we are blaming the band for Is the fact that they made fools out of both themselves and the studenbody by their miserable showing Just a couple more exhibitions like that and feel the ROTC should take back their instruments which wa understand belong to them That's the last straw!
