A HITCH HIKING INCIDENT
A senior fwntly told us about
incident which v 99 p^i
of the oorpt will be shock-
r
to hear.,We
r
imy 99 per cent be-
we feel spre that at least 99
cent of tty! AjKbs are
of the rides they fet
hitch-hi ting And behave
ees wel while they are be-
d by Texans to
fbom the Actk uniform means a
m
But we also have the one per
<ent, and it ii the one per oent
rhich may, at times, reflect not
(redit but disc; edit on the school,
la the one percent which the
her 99 per M nt must overcome
Now to get dn with this senior’s
ory:
Recently a rt latire of his, a rsth-
ir yoon« uomty, was on the cam
tshe left, she picked
ip some Afgi^s who were asking
Ides to Bryan,
But when ttyy arrived in Bryan,
Agfica—One per centers—re-

fused to get out of the car. They
wanted to M ahow her the town.” In
short* they acted as boors until
they finally displayed their mag
nanimfty by allowing her to go on.
Thia incident is the exception to
the rules; rarely will anyone hear
of a similar one. These Aggie*—
if we may debase the term by
applying jit to them—are also ex
ceptions to the rule; the 99 per
cent behave decently and respect
fully to those who give them rides.
But these exceptions give Aggie*
a black eye, even though the stu
dents who do these things are not
true Aggies.'They wear an Aggie
unifena, unfortunately, and that
causes outsider* in general to think
of dtem as being typical.
TV per cent must do ita part
in attempting to curb the eaoesses
of the one per cent, and the one
per cent must realiae that its mem
ber* are college-enrolW* and are
therefore expected to act like col
lege students.
ENTERTAINMENT SALES OFF
