Weekend Hitch-Hiking Marred By Flagrant Miscourtesies On Road (This story on hitch-hiking is being reprinted at the request of several members of the Cadet Corps and several veterans, for both the informing of new frogs and veterans who are attending A. & M. for the first time). Contact Man Is First When hitchhiking to ahy place from A. & M., the Aggie traveled goes to the proper lines and places his bag at the end of the line, so that the bags are in line in the order of the arrival of their owners at the line. Having done this, there is now lots of nothing to do until the Aggie becomes first in line. When the people ahead of him all catch rides and he is first, he gets out by the side of the high way, being careful not to put him self in a position to obstruct traf fic, proceeds to wave the old thumb at all passing traffic. But until this time, he remains well back from the highway, so as not to give the line the appearance of a lynching mob to an oncoming mo torist. When a car stops, the man doing the hitchhiking approaches and asks the driver how far he is going and how many passengers (See HITCH-HIKING, Page 2)
