Am during the game, the cam

AN EDITORIAL
\ ' This head might

that's what we’re writing abaut. It doesn’t refer to
a western but to a few—very few—Aggies.
^Saturday night at Bryaa there was the usuaT
lateffhow at the Palace. ‘And, as usual, there were
three or four Aggies there who acted like the “ofte ]
per cent” referred to in a recent editorial.
Whf-i ! irintf an advertisement, a tfirl in a bath
ing suit was shown, these three or four Aggiegxbto-
haved in a manner which would not do credit to
twelve-year-olds. They screamed and howled, prob
ably in an effort to convince the audience that they
were “he-men.” i . J ' j »
What they actually displayed was a remarkable
lack of knowledge of how to conduct one’s self de
cently in a public Diace. No doubt they had a great
time. They probably got a kick out of it, but THBT 1
WERENT THlONLY PEOPLE IN THE SHOW}
AND THE OTHERS DIDN’T LIKE IT A BIT.
' Later, when there, was a Community Sing fea
ture on the screen, these same “one percenters” let
go with some gosh-awfoj yelling which completely
butchered anyone else’* enjoyment of the feature.
Now we don’t like movie advertising at all, and
we do not particularly care'' for Communin Smys.
but other people do like the SinK feature and the
"one percent” might grow up enough to act as if they
were past the adolescent stage during the ads.
Every true Aggie who was in the show was dis
gusted. The 99 per cent must stop the foolishness of

BY L E. THOMPSON
Although a number of uapport- or
ing weapons are.noto in use, the’
infantry and cavalfy still place
their main reliance on th* field
artillery. The mission of the field
artillery is to assiftt the other arms
by firing upon those; Urge ta which
under the conditions offer the
greatest obstacles to'the success of
the troops supported. Since it is
primarily a supportibg branch, the
artillery makes every effort to epn-
certrate its fir* on decisive objects
at the critical timesi
As artillery is vulnerable to at
tack at close quarters by Infantry,
cavalry, and tanks, this limitation
roust be token into’ consideration
in order to take full advantage of
ItlipOSMbilitiM,
Some of the more noteworthy
characteristics of field artil
lery are the dep* ndiibititjy of its
fire under practically eU conditions
its ability to deliver S great volume
of fltf with forcefjil results, its
long rpnge and ability to concen
Irate fbre when needed and to sus
tain that fire fbr a relatively long
period of time, and its ybility to
engage or withdraw from Combat
by simply opening fire up- n or
ceasing firing oh itfe targets
