it alas, n ail too often tme.
Social caatom^, usually, are dic-
tJ tod by the bfhavior of froupa

ot Individual* in these groups,
a id bt popular opinion. Even the
gpmpd in the loarer social strata at-
to imitaite the actions of
tleir more highly educated sad sup-
p wodly socially superior country-

opinion, then, ia a pow

it >is ' logical to assume
tl at college student* enjoy a posi-
'tisu not attained by the average
Mtixcn. That is, they have the priv-
fl »ge of h. ip rtg to form social
e i*tom* while conforming to those
P reviossly set ind accepted.
Aggies, ixisuse of their gregar-
k us nature, sometimes do not con-
f ctn to accepted standards and by
filling to do so cannot measure as
h oti the social scale as uaiver-
students should.
Hotable example of noncon
formity in Aggies is the nowdiness
of them display in neighbor-
theaters. Undoubtedly most of
| . caused by freshmen and
sopie by wellmeaning, but an-
thoughtful, upperclassmen,
suth behavior ii inexcusable even
in those groups. Level headed up-

not sttffkient, then perhaps more
forceful means qpuld be employed.
Attitudes formed by visitors ok
■earing » few Aggie rowdies de

A. A M.'and is highly detrimental
to tjie school and its former stu-
' • • ' ; V.
We de not advocate stilted man
nerisms—they might tend to de
stroy self-expressiveness—but sure
ly no Aggie likes to be spoken of
as being uncouth, ill-mannered
The point, then, ia: Behave as you
ha\- been uught shd do as you
know is right!

of man’s fate, the influence of Be
haviorism on the modern mind has
counted hearily on the side of. en
vironment. Most of Our so-calhul
“inherited msticU”, Mr. Watson
implies, are really nothing but
habits. 3,
2. That we take oa habits and
traits and eventalenU largely by
means of the “Conditioned nMkx”:
scientific ground, he must merely
say that the man's face is red. that
his brow is knit, that his muscles
are tense, etc, etc^ After all, what
and where is “anger”? Haw wide

Exit “anger”, therefore, from the
vocabulary of the truly arientific
psychologist. And so oa, with
