Managing Editor PAUL MARTIN Reporter ED GRAY Reporter A Minority that Doesn’t Worry . . . Minority groups in Europe or Asia have an unpleasant way of causing trouble. But there is a “minority group” at A. & M. C. now that definitely isn’t worrying nor causing any one else to worry. Final count of the registrants entering the spring se mester this week shows that the cadet corps is now out numbered by returned servicemen, who compose 65% of present enrollment. There are several reasons why that sta tistic doesn’t worry anybody. For one thing, a great number of the veterans are Ag gies who have come back. They were cadets during their previous stay here, and “once an Aggie, always an Aggie”. As for the others, few are strangers to the code or tradi tions of A. & M. You’ll find the “Spirit of Aggieland” as deeply imbedded in the “Ag-GI’s” as it is in the cadet corp. While discussing the military organization at A. & M., we wish to call attention to a statement in this issue from Col. Welty, which explains how ex-enlisted men may obtain a commission through two years ROTC training. This is an opportunity that many veterans should think about ser- siously.

Here’s a chance for all veterans and their wives to limber up and get in good condition. Some of the games to be made available are volleyball, softball, horseshoes, tennis. Veterans’ “Evening Of Fun” Draws Capacity Crowd A capacity crowd that seemed to enjoy thoroughly the evening of fun and entertainment turned out for the first meeting of the semes ter of the Ex-Servicemens Club held last night in Guion Hall. Gene Howard, club president, presided and presented the guest speakers, including President Gibb Gilchrist, Dean of Men J. W. Rol lins and P. L. “Pinky” Downs, who as principal speaker had the crowd in a constant roar of laughter with his stories of the “good ole days.” Following a short business ses sion, Student Activities presented Bill Turner and his Aggieland Or chestra and Singing Cadets in a swingy 40 minute stage show. Guion Hall Theater completed the evening of fun by giving a free showing of the feature, “God is My Co-Pilot”. Many a sailor who thought his wife was a mate has discovered since his discharge that she is the skipper. It takes a person two years to learn to talk and 50 years to learn to keep his mouth shut.
