The team and coaches played outstand
ing ball all season! in the teeth of the worst
kifnd of reverses. Through it all, the stu
dents body and school supporters talked it
up like they were on the Rose Bowl Ex-

Like a lot of other people, we feel that
this was one of A&M’s most succesful
seasons. ’ J

There is a plan, new undei) discussion
byi heads of the Southwest Con;’erence and
the member schools, which his a better
chance of improving relations between the
schools than anything since Reveille g&vf
up biting Peruna, the Baylor Bdar, and the
TU cheer leaders.
jA The plan concerns an allt-conference
student dance tentatively to be held in
Dallas with students and their dates from
. all the seven conference schools invL J
- The dance will be sponsored and payed for
by the Southwest Conference Association.
Origination of the idea is credited to
James Stewart, secretary of jthe cohfer-
. ence association, tie first mentioned
plan at the beginning of football season
and asked for opinions of its practicability
.and value from the seven schoojsijFrom
discussions with 'representatives' or the
A other schools, we gather that the schools
themselves are Wholeheartedly in favor
of the dance. r

present a five minute skit depicting some
phase of their campus life/With the abil
ities, and imaginations displayed’! byt stu

UmkJ I: , i.j ;, ' j/
\ A$ Stewart explains, it will serve to
niake 1 the conference members feel that
the Cptton Bowl is not juat a one-school
show, but an all conference affair.
From our own viewpoint, it will be a
niajpr blow for our pet project. Sports-,
maikshipL when discussed and read about,
is at best a dead and colorless thing- You
have to rub elbows with the other guy to
make it work. : • - f ■
I From our own associations with stu
dents from other schools this year we
hjave found that, strangely enough, they
are human. In fact, they are so human
^that when you get all of them in one room
and chewing the fat for thirty minutes,
yOu have to stop and figure out who you
cime in with.
We have rubbed shoulders with Rice
students, SMU students, Baylor students,
ECU students, and even TU students, and
found they were pretty fine people with
the same interests and ideas as ourselves.
We believe that if all the students from
all the schools could do the same thing,
the results would be pretty much the
same.. .M
It is quite easy to get mad at some guy
you don’t know.; On the other hand, you
tend to sympathize and see the viewpoint
of a man. you know or share acquaintances
wkh. Seeing the other man’s side of a
problem is the real key to amicable re-
litioijshlpa. y • . '
i We believe an anrilual Cotton Bowl Ball
vjrould go a long way toward creating that
type of feeling. i[. . . I . i

"But they that wait upon the
Lord shall renew their strength”
Isaiah 40:31
Strength, like one’s breathing,
must be renewed. Exhaustion soon
follows one’s failure to replenish
his expended force. The athletic
champion quickly becomes a “has-
been” when the renewal of his
energies falls behind their expen
diture, Thi# is also true in the
spiritual relm of life. The only
way that we can maintain power
for the burdens that must be
borne, to run the race that is set
before us; to walk the road that!
must be traveled, is to “wait on
the Lord.” (Read Isaiah 40:26-31)
