We have all had to leant by
exp«*rien«*erih Parts. If I were
going to give advice to a tourist
I would tell him to: J I 1
Ride first-class on ' the metro
(subway.) I It costs only 1% cents
- more than second-class, and it* is
much better during the rush hours.
Ride busses to, see as much of
the city as possible. ! ?
, Don’t go iiitft a, night Sclub with
a floor show unless you have at
, least 200<r francs. (approximately
'■ $6) as most of them serve only
fine wines or champagne during
the show with a high minimum
cost. It is best do travel in groups
of two, three dr four to split the
cost up. I ! > |
Don't order coffee unless you
like liquid Bailiff. Tea is the on
ly drink for the teetotaler, but
one can easily become A con
noisseur of wines in a few days.
And a slight jag from the wine
makes the day pass faster and
easier. One of my favorites is
rose wine, although good Rhone
wine is fine with meat.
Try not to. order anything in
your hotel unless you pay for it
first because they stick you a high
rate, plus a IS percent service
charge ore it. For- example, pos
tage stamps should be purchased
at the post office.
If you walk), into an expensive
looking cafe, do not order anything
j without checking the price. One
day I got stuck 50 cents for coffee,
, 80 cents for salad, and 75 cents
for dessert.: By the time they ad
ded a service Charge of 12 percent
, and a 100 .franc cover charge, my
, 01441 cost 45. Needless to say, I
have not 4 fone \back there.
Watch your step when crossing
the street. If the driver honks

Last week-end, the cadets
at Brooks Field went on an
overnight bivouac to Cam
Bullls. j It was enjoyed by al
because we had a wonderful
opportunity to be dose to na
ture (mainly mosquitoes and
snakesl.
Friday we were limber^ up
with a three-mile hike and then
bright and early Saturday morn
ing, we embarked on an eight
mile hike.
i
Monday we went to the firing
range to fire the M-l carbine for
record. "We also fired the .45 cal
ibre pistol and the “grease gulp”
but it was not] for record. The
men with the highest scores from
each school will receive a medal
and the school with the highest,
percentage scofe will receive a
loving cup.
As yet, the scores have not been
published but v^e all feel sure the
Aggies won the; cup.

to win the softball title. After
the last tabulation, Texas; has a
slim lead over us In Jntraniurals
