GENTLEMEN: I am from New York and I did not HEADQUARTERS for CATHOLIC BOOKS receive any tickets for the Army-Notre Dame game simply because I was not and RELIGIOUS GOODS told that I had to comply with certain regulations with an application. The reason I did not do this properly is because the student who came to our I I 0 E. LdSdiic — just four doors down the hill meeting did not tell us clearly what to from ElbeVs Music Store do. If he had why would so many fellows not do it. Certainly not to deliberately give away a few tickets to the Army game. Would you Mr. Editor give away a few tickets? No! Then why would I? Well I didn't. WHEN STYLE'S IM THB HCTURI I am not taking sides with Mr. Olwell, .just telling you that the information James A. Clemens, Jr., submitted was NOT cori-ect. If we students know this, then why do you write a retraction? Because you HAD to? Who is the edi­ tor? Your paper should be your own m M^<L^/ and not someone elses. In the future I sincerely hope you will collect your material intelligently and not print incorrect copy just be­ cause some pressure was applied. A Graduate Student. WlLLIAJNI McNULTY. This department has received numer­ ous letters ranging from the scurnlous to the inaiie regarding the "Scholastic's" editorial last week apologiziyig to the ticket office. All the ivriters except Mr. McNulty heat their chests fiercely ivhile coivering behind the cover of anonymity. As far as coercion being used to force the S'OHOL.A.STic to print the apology is conceo'ned, Mr. McNulty is muttering in his beard about a matter ivith ivhich he is entirely unfamiliar. In fact, in print­ ing the retraction the "Scholastic" acted contrary to the ivishes of University officials, ivho requested that the matter be dropped luithout further comment. In spite of this the apology was run be­ cause the editors believed that an in­ justice done to the ticket inanager, Robert Cahill, should be righted.
