With Aggieland crowded as nev- er before life here takes on some different aspects. Even in the old days, you had to keep your elbows in toward your sides when eating in any of the local hash houses. But now you've got to keep your elbows in when walking down the street. It’s like the bump post races at Cambridge University, England. You don’t try to pass, you bump the fellow ahead and that means that theoretically you have passed him. If you don’t get the idea, try dashing down from Sbisa to North Gate about five o’clock. Many Colors . .. Joseph—the man in the Bible who wore the coat of many colors— had nothing on some of the present A. & M. students. It seems as though we veterans are determin- ed to make up for the long years of uniform-wearing, so almost any- thing goes. Besides which, most of us veterans wear whatever we have been able to get our hands on in the stores, which isn’t much! Favorite shirt is the old Aggie T-shirt, either maroon or white, with the school seal flaming in the center. We're not bashful about letting people know where we be- long! As for pants, a lot of us still have khakis left and having been out of uniform for a while, we are trying to wear them out. It’s surprising how many sets of blue Navy dungarees are visible on this supposedly impregnable Army campus. Looks as as though a lot of cadets, when they left for service, decided to switch from khaki to blue. Mixed in with the heterogen- eous outfits of the veterans are the trim uniforms of the cadets, strictly reg. (?). They'd better be! It’s fun to loaf on the lawn of the Aggieland Inn, in T-shirt and slacks, and watch the boys go by, dressed as though for inspection. Herring-Mauro Miss Louise Herring of Dallas, became the bride of Frank Paul Mauro, '46, in August and they are making their home at College Sta- tion. {AMONG A. and M. MEN 1902 V. H.
