Missing Muster Is
Now Court Offense
The college has made missing
Aggie Muster a senior court of
fense for cadets.
The new ruling is stated speci
fically in the new edition of college
regulations. The book carries the
penalty a cadet will receive for
practically every violation of the
Articles of the Cadet Corps.
Other major changes appearing
in this section are formal room
inspections may be held at any
time announced by the comman
dant instead of between 7-7:45 a.m.
as was the case last year, and a
new “cover-all” clause now ap
pears.
The covex , -all clause reads, “vio
lations not covered in these articles
shall be handled as individual
cases.”
Also, retreat formation, inspec
tion and pass-by will be held on
Wednesday of each week instead of
Tuesday. Under the new articles,
the two units given last place by
judges will undergo a formal stand
by inspection the next day.
The officer of the day’s duties
which read “check extra duty ros
ters on Saturdays and Sundays and
supervise formations” has been
changed to “check extra duty ros
ters on Saturdays and Sundays and
supervise Saturday afternoon extra
duty formations.”
The new regulations now makes
wearing fatigues in the Memorial
Student Center except in the post
office, punishable by eight demer
its.
The article which read “any per
son subject to these articles who
believes himself wronged by his
commanding officer may appeal to
his counselor within 48 hours” has
been changed to “. . . may appeal
to his counselor 48 houi’s after he
receives the duplicate copy of the
demerit slip.”

Student Senate
Does College
Executive Job
The student senate, the student
government of A&M, has as its
primary objective serving in the
executive capacity for the student
body.
However, senate action is only
the first step in the formulation
of policies for the students.
All senate action is reviewed by
the dean of men’s office.
Members of the senate are rep
resentatives from all classes except
freshmen, from the non-military
dormitories, vet village, the day
students and the vice-presidents of
each class.
Since Law and Puryear halls are
being used for freshmen this year,
the senators elected from these
dormitories last year may not keep
their positions. This will have to
be worked out sometime early this
year, said Bennie Zinn, assistant
dean of men.
One advisory group to the dean
of men is the student life commit
tee. This group is composed of
both student and faculty members.
They meet with the dean to con
sider policies affecting student life
and make recommendations con
cerning them. The membership of
this committee for the year is not
yet complete.
Members of the student senate
are as follows: seniors, Stan Bell,
Denny Cole, Leo Draper, C. E. Fen
ner, T. B. Field, C. A. Gary, Buddy
Foxworth, Lax-ry W. Hoffman, J.
L. Ledwig, Vol M. Montgomery,

Pogo Returns In Tuesday’s Battalion
Pogo, the world’s only good look
ing opossum, returns to The Bat
talion Tuesday.
Along with him will be the rest
of cartoonist Walt Kelly’s crea
tions, Albert the Alligator, How
land Owl, the three bats, Pup-dog
and all the rest of the Okeefenokee
swamp dwellers.
Kelly says the friendly ’possum’s
features were a problem to draw.
An opossum’s nose gives the crea-
many comic strips about animals.
Kelly finally interested an editor
in his strip, and got even with the
people who turned him down by
drawing the most popular comic in
the country.
Top Cartoonist of ’52
He was voted the outstanding
cartoonist of 1952, and Pogo, a
Post-Hall, syndicated feature, has
one of the largest circulations in
the country.
It is one of the two comic strips
Pogo
The Friendly Opossum
ture an exceptionally evil look, so
Kelly decided he’d have to change
it.
The cartoonist drew a round nose
for Pogo and took the rest of an
opossum’s body.
The first person Kelly tried to
sell the comic strip to thought
Pogo was a duck.
Kelly was undaunted by the edi
tor’s insinuation, and proceeded to
draw round noses on all his char
acters, believing that it made them
look friendlier.
Even after editors found out
Pogo was not a duck, they still
refused to take Kelly’s work. They
thought there were already too

Albert is the “fall guy” of the
strip. He is constantly besieged
with storks roosting on his head,
mice wanting to live inside him and
bad cigai’S.
Howland Owl is the Einstein of
Okeefenokee. The only difference
between Howland’s theories and
Einstein’s is Howland’s don’t woi’k.

swamp critters in trying to get
rid of Roogey Batoon, the New
