OVnr arid over npnin Annex atudentu have been cdmplalnlnx about the delivery eeridce of their "tiatta." The gripe haa fallen upon the ataff members of the Freshman Page, and we would like to shift It a little to whoever mlghi be the necessary party or parties. , In tracing this deficiency In delivery, we first went to some of the sjjpply sergeants Who are responsible for the transportation of these newspapers from the tactical officer’s building to the various barracks In his compafliy, In every case, these men claimed that when i they went by to pick up the bundles of papers that were sOppobed t6 be waiting for them, hone could be found. ® With the blame lifted from the supply sergeants, we then went to g'ee Dean Breazeale- about the matter. He was very surprised to hear of it and immediately made note of the situation and also made a few phone calls. We let the matter rest in the hands of Brezeale, but there is still a possibility that you won’t receive your paper in the future. If this happens, contact your tactical officer. He will try to find out why you haven’t been getting a paper that you have already paid for. Around Little Aggieland « . • Hitch-hikers Get Stuck- But Good By KENNETH WILLIAMS There seems tp be a jinx on Stan Sydenhemn and Roger Kemper whenever they attempt to reach San Antonio by the Aggie route. These unlucky hitch-hikers have tried to reach San Antonio twice, only to find themselves stuck in Bryan both times. The first time they attempted the trip was the day of the Texas Tech game. The next weekend found the same story as poor Stan and Roge^ came drooping back to Little Aggieland once more. Better luck next time boys. , — j The moral of this Is tp park your cars on the parking lots, not in front o£ your barracks, Charles Russell parked his Crosley in front Of T1230 while he ,w«int in to prepare for ti trip to town. ♦ He had just turned his back wpen the front doors were opened by pne culprit while Several other carried the car Into the barraciks, The barracks pro vided a fine garage fpr a short period of time; however the school pHivIdes several parking lots for the cars. I think you will find your rgi’ much safer there, <'harlei|i .provided some joker doesn't throw II oif top of the gyinnasltitn, . i am going to attempt to run a weekly column of this type lof unusual happenings, tjf anything unusual haa happened to you or any of your huddles, look mje up In T-231). 1 will appreciate ell the material i I can get for this column. | ' v*' rr i ■fr • ,T'■ 7T t - .• • vV v -7 I # r ntramurals Show f mprovement With better Football st week's Intramural football games saw a much Improved brand Of football played.

The .freshman editor and his as* sistanta will be picked on a basis of writing ability, knowledge of The Battalion's typographic and writing style, and the leadership ability to produce a Sufficiency of good copy for his page, the co-edi* tors said. An Annex-wide election to deter mine the Oditortal positions on the Freshman page had originally been planned, but the delay necessitate^ by the election would havefiimpair- ed publication of the Freshman page, the co-editors said. , * « • J • < ‘ r "If we wait until the Annex gen eral elections in December" the ^ editors said, “we believe that both the Freshmen and our own staff will suffer from the delay.
