In the fasteet two-mile walk on
record, a Swede averaged about
9tt miles an hour. Running at
top speed, the world’s fastest
rprinters have averaged 21.7 miles
an hour for 100 yards. The beat
100-yard swim on record was a
little over 4 miles an hour.
Compare these feats with the
performance of other creatures:
Record books indicate that a
horse named Big Racket galloped
43 miles an hour for a quarter of
mile in 1945. The graat Equi

Among birds, the fastest known

was clocked in India at from 171

Now let us see what man can

Letters
The Battalion is always glad to
print letters to the editor, whether
we agree with them or not. How
ever, it is necessary to inaiat on
certain conditions which make for
“fair play. H
Letters must be signed, showing
the real name of the writer and
his college address. The name will
not be printed, if the writer asks
that it be withheld.
Letters may be highly critical,
but should not be abusiva. Natur
ally, they cannot be printed At all
if they are libelous or obscene
(Th, we do receive obacene letters
sometimes.)
So send aloag your letters.
This column is really a bull-
session in print. We’re always
glad to print them, even when you

for myself.
Equipping ray maroon ear wKh
Aggie pennants, stickers and
straamen, I rushed madly toward
the gate, throwing on my brakes
at the last minute and screeching
to a stop beside the little house at
the entrance. I wanted to see if
he would draw his gun. >.
But he didn’t “Don’t drive
dum fast* he growled—and then
waved me in, without asking if 1
were a sophomore, junior or senior
student In fact, he didn’t ask if 1
were a student at all, perhaps mak
ing a snap judgment from the waj
the car waa decorated.
Look here," I said. “Aren’t you
stationed here to shoot at Aggies
from the main campus who try to
crash the gate at this annex?"
“None of my businoea,” he an
swered. "The Array pays me to
keep spies from running off with
the hangars. I don't think you
could get a hangar in the back of
your car, and besides, this gate
(motioning) only goes to Uttls

Disappointed, I drovs on to the
Annex sdmlnlstrstlon building. I
hung eround In plstn sight of mv
oral military officers, hoping to
get picked up. They ignored me
“Aren't you going to give me the
bum’s rush?*’ I demanded. I’m s
student from the main campus,
end 1 understand you have strict
orders to keep me out.”
Don't get excited,” answered
the officer. “If you were in cadet
uniform, I would ssk you, as s
military courtesy, to report your
presence to the security officer,
end check out with him before you
leave. Yes. please remember that
we have CQ here, so use discre
tion.”
With that, he left me. Severely
let down after all the rumors I
had heard, I climbed back into my
maroon car and drove back to
