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).

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

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
