The Pants Have One Less Patch Than Holes ...

was.
Uncle Sam seems to be in about the
same predicament. He’s got a pair of
pants with lots of holes in them, but he
is one or more patches short. The holes in
Uncle Sam’s pants are expenditures of the
national government and the patches are
the various taxes that cover up his spend-
ing.
Right now, there’s a gaping hole in
those pants which not a few embarrassed
governmental officials call “deficit spend
ing”. Really, a patch of about five or ten
billion dollars would cover this hole just
fine.
Off hand, we’d say, “Sure, fine, let’s
have more tax reductions.” But, we be
gin thinking about poor old Uncle Sam and
his ragged pants. . j;
If the anti-excise tax Congressmen
have their way and tear off the excise
tax patch, they must be expected to roll
off several yards of the fine new income
tax cloth for patches. After all, the holes
in Uncle Sam’s pants are o£ a given area,
and a given amount of cloth is required for
patches to cover the holes.
sd
Instead
But instead of covering this hole, there we’ll keep the old gentleman in new patch-
is talk of tearing off another patch, and es. i ! ! i
Our selfishness keeps us from saying,
“ILet’s dgive everything to Uncle Sam
he can nave a new pair of pants.”
In Passing
That wonderful season of misletoc, tin- taught us to think in terms of “how many
sel, the decorated evergreen tree, and gifts more shopping days before ...”
has descended upon us. r
' iPotfsibly it is because of increased de
partment store campaigns exploiting the
Christmas spirit of giving, that each year
we become aware a little bit earlier of the
season's fast approaph. These merchants
climaxing their year’s advertising with
marpmoth Christmas campaigns have
Through their only natural efforts to
make money, however, rhany of us have
lost the true conception of what giving and
good will and Christmas mean. Giving

LOGICAL EXPLANATION
Editor, The Battalion:
For your information, and for
the information of your other
readers, I think, upon further in
quiry, you will find that the fire,
from some unsolved source, start
ed inside the truck, offering a]
fairly logical reason for cluttering
our front “lawn” with flaming
gat bage.
I think you can find other wit
nesses from Dorm 1, 2, 3, and 4
who will verify this.

Not an Aggie was home
They were still in school.,
i
The cadets in their uniforms ;
To classes did mjope
For in old Santa
They had given up hope.
Their stockings wejre hung ;
By the radiator; near
While visions of sugar plums. ,
Danced in their beer
The spirit was falling
All seemed to be lost
What they wanted for Christmas
Was beyond a ost
1 <
The mistletoe hung
No one had a cate
Who wanted to stmd under it
With their damn! roommate.;
The grade points Were decreasing
Aggies knew of their doom
Not a slip stick Was slipping
In one single room.
\
They called a yell practice
To fight for the cause
And to spell it out
For Old Santa Glaus. !
MJJ.yV' Ji
As the cadets sadly sang
To the tune Jingle Bells
Even old Sully j
Seem to feel like Hell.
Then from the new area
There came such a clatter
Everyone rushed on over
To sec what was the matter.
But these words could
Far off into the night.
Now Pat, now Mike J
Now, Joseph and Jess
On Beck, on jack
On Maud and Bess.
And Santa teen called
From way up in the blue
Merry Christmas to all
And heat tee hell out of
For Smith-Hughes
And then they realized
Their wish wasn’t In vain
For there was St. Nick
And his tiny mijile train.
He stood in his sleigh
With a twinkle in hl«<eye
He yelled well, old Army
As he took off i his tie.
J
j
A wildcat arose , |
And when the noise broke
Some guy in, the rear ’
Yelled tell us aj joke.
s ' ! “i - i
But Santa continued
To search for the clue
tied
the clue
For just what had happened
And why the Aggies were blue.;
All the Aggies in the past
From all oyer the world
Wanted their stockings full
Of a Live Varga girl.
4
A “fish” volunteered
To step forth and say
What we want for Christmas
Is more holidays.
“Well why didn't! you say so”
Said Santa with a gleam * f
“I’ll go have a conference
Witl^ the profs and the deans' 1
“Now look here you guys,”
Said Santa so rough . -■
“These Aggies are tired
Of quizzes and! stuff”
They all need a rest
You’ll all best agree .
Or yOu’ll get no presents f
On your Christmas tree.- s

■j
“Oh no”! cried one
You cannot do that
You prommed me a grade
Witt a leather bound
So the decision was made
No one had his doubt J ; f
Santa wasn’t enrolled
So they cou dn’t kick him out.
L ' • ' ] i
Santa then told the Aggies ;
As the yell practice ended
The news that the Holidays
Had been extended.
The men lost no time
Speed was not lacked
For just by coincidence
were all packed
waa quiet
Not ah Aggie was in sighjt
