driver of a car should exercise the highest
degree of care.
As long as the present conditions exist,
the cadet corps should be a courteous to the
dirvers as possible. In passing to and from
classes, Aggies should stay out of the way
of passing automobile*. Move over and give
them room. Extend to drivers the same
courtesy that you would expect if you were
the driver.

A. & M. Traditions
.1
M 4tm W
A. & is rich in traditions. Traditions have
made Jlhis college more than a mere educa
tioaal institution; they have prdath- aided
A. A |l.’ in graduating men who are more
-- f*|^i<&pab)e of taking a man’s place in this
MNHaT, 4*
' '|A§lpes 6t today must eternally be on
the alot to'kee that some of these most vital
traditions are not allowed to decay and fall
• into 4i*use. One Aggie tradition which many
have^filt was slipping by the-wayside in the
past ftw years should be revived to the
fullest jextent. This is the Aggie custom of
speakiag to everyone whofn they meet on
the eafnpus.
Orte of the fundamental differences be-
tweea an Aggie and any other college stu
dent is the spirit of friendliness which he
shows in speaking to everyone. Many Aggies
have tfid the occasion to walk across the
campuq( of some other college or university
in Texas apd received a cold shoulder when
they dkred to speak to someone. The cadet
corps An be thankful that at one time In
the eaily days of A. & M. history* some
Aggies recognited the fact that
iest basis of a unified corps could
upon a few traditions such as this
one. 4 \
Thfe practice of speaking to everyone on
the canipus has grotvn to be part of Aggie-
land. This tradition can not be allowed to
die. Rig |ht now is the time to put forth fSc
effort to see that A. & M. maintains this ,
traditio|i.
This year a larger number of students
than ever before are living in the dormi
tories ; Ihere is every reason to believe that
present^, conditions will make the maintain-
^ence of ^.his tradition an easier task. In order
to mor^j fully establish this tradition on a
j•qunder-ba^is. it must begin with the Fresh
man Cliss. They must be taught that there
is a real and worthwhile meaning to this
tradition. Upon the upperclassmen falls the
major rden of preserving the tradition.
Sophonri)l£s, juniors, and seniors must also
take uppn themselves this responsibility.
Pu< in a cheerful “howdy or hello” when
you meet someone on the campus, and be
thankful that when they return your greet
ing thai you’re going to A. & M. where this
spirit 8$U prevails.
'fthere is a homely adage which
runt A “Speak softly and carry a big
ttaeJciyou will go far." If the Ameri
ca* watton will speak softly and yet
build «md keep at a pitch of the highest
training a thoroughly efficient navy,
the Monroe Doctrine will go far.

Slxty-fife hundred Aggies attend class every
day, ami surprisingly enwigh, none of them

doeaa’t mean that the class room pace at

real trouble is that with the rapid
Of A. & M. in the past decade, there
haven’t been enough sidewalks to

As a result the student has been, forced
to take to the streets and compete for room
with the automobile.
-.Adding to the complications of the traf
fic situation has been the rapid growth of
the city of College Station with the resultant
increase in automobile traffic. Efforts have
been made by the college and by the city to
solva tlSM problem. A speed limit of twenty
milea pet hour has been established and ia
ng enforced on the campus. All of these
though laudatory in their purpose,

but the present number ia still inadequate*.

To the young men reading thi» column for
the first time, we want them to know that
it is dedicated to all cadets at A. & M. in
the hope that it will encourage them to get
a full share of pleasure from their social
life, and to lay a foundation .for making ef
fective contacts in all kinds of situations.
Information on manners, in this column,
will be of a practical nature; it will be based
on an authoritative source, and will deal with
“dating," improving table manners, how to
meet people, in fact, it will cover all prob
lems in manners that concern cadets.
In a recent survey, the five traits men-,
tioned most 'frequently by women in ex
plaining their likipg for men were intel
ligence, consideration, kindliness, cheerful
ness, and mannerliness. Good manners re
quired the expression of all these traits, and
a man’s manners should lie placed along with
his other good qualities, such as, honesty,
willingness to. cooperate, and a sense of
values; however, good manners are the one
quality in a man that we can recognize al
most as soon as we meet him.
Although manners cannot be entirely
standardized for every locality, particularly
for A. & M., there are basic* tves in good
manners that it is wise to know, since they Fro " , Th *“ TiHier T *l* • ••• Be * 1116 P** es * or fe * r the profewor >UNDER AGl£ feWturin* N*n
