Married Veterans Just Do
Not Call Wives ‘Old Lady 9
By H. C. MICHALAK
Life in College View (Hungry
Heights) for married veteran stu
dents is far from a dull affah*.
The chief difference between ca
det life and the married veteran’s
life is this: The cadet usually has
a roommate whom he refers to as
“old Lady.” The married veteran
has a roommate too, but he does
not call her “old Lady.”
Transportation is a problem for
the College View dweller. Chief
mode of getting about from apart
ment to the campus is by bicycle.
Another trusty form of trans
portation is the age-old custom of
walking. Just pick ’em up and put
’em down. Eventually this slow

process gets the book toter to his
classroom in time to keep from
being tardy.
Of course the boys who drive
cars are not to be forgotten. If it
were not for them, the Hungry
Heights dwellers—future executiv
es now mind you—would have to
do more walking than they do.
These student car owners drive ja
lopies ranging from the almost an
tique Model A Ford to classy Ca
dillacs. Buicks and Olds are very
common models, too.
However, some of the View
dwellers do not rely upon walk
ing, the bike, or chance hitch
hiking. These other future exe
cutives ride a two wheeled gad-

The Aggieton
Residence
get with a motor—it is called a
scooter. Where traffic jams up
during rush periods, these scoot
er riders just weave in and out
among the congested conglome
ration and get away from it all.
Now these boys in College View
have to study just like any other
students and their problems are
vei’y like those of dormitory dwel
lers. Whereas the campus dweller
may have to listen to some gabby
guy telling his room mate about
his latest female discovery, the
married veteran has his little trou
bles too.
Some of these are in the form
of little future Aggies or little
future Tessies. Or just about the
time he gets that chemical formula
figured out, a wee voice from the
kitchen will say, “Honey I’m bak
ing a lemon pie. Go down to the
store and get some lemons.”
On Sunday morning when it is
nice to sleep late, one of the
little Aggies in the neighbor
hood will be running around the
corner shouting “The British are
coming.” His bedtime story the
night before was a story taken
from History 105 about some
Revolution in 1776.
While all apartments seem the
same from the outside, that is
where all similarity stops. The in
genuity of these married girls in
arranging college furnishings is
something amazing. No two apart
ments are alike, and practically
every one has some article of fur
niture which is home manufactur
ed, adding to the homey atmos
phere.
Curtains and drapes of every
color, design and shape adorn the
windows; pictures, pennants, mir
rors, and souvenirs occupy various
wall surfaces.
Cadets eat in the mess hall
family style and non-cadets eat
in the cafeterias, but the married
veterans can vary the fare by
helping his wife cook if he wants
to. And sometimes he will dry
the dishes whether he wants to
or not!
Such is life in College View,
Veterans Village, the Annex and
in the Trailer Camp, but what a
life ... . then graduation and may
be a job .... then a vacation!!
