Page 2 THE BATTALION FRIDAY, JANUARY 14, 1955 At Least A Start The student Agriculture council, in an attempt to devise an honor code for A&M, has come up with a plan which takes a dif ferent look at this whole business of hon esty; Instead of trying to have a code which is void if only one student fails to sign the pledge, this new idea is in effect for only those who sign—the others, by im plication, are free to cheat. However, how effective will such an honor code be, in which there wiH possibly bef some students who won’t feel bound by a pledge? Apparently, the Agriculture coun cil is trying to iron out one of the major flaws in their last honor code, in which each student retained the veto power over the code. In other words, one student could keep a whole class from at least trying to be honest. Recently, the student Engineer council asked each student council to appoint repre sentatives to a committee for the purpose of formulating a college-wide honor code, but plans aren’t complete. A college-wide code should be tided—one that might possibly be better than the Agri culture council’s code. But until then, some honor code is much better than no honor code. — Last Day — ‘ARROW IN DUST” — and “HELL’S HALF ACRE” — Saturday Only — “LONE GUN” — and “WHITE G04IDESS” DR.

That, at least for you people, is convenient. Your article said that all the members of the TT’s were immature. I w'ould like to know if you are suf ficiently qualified, or in a t u r e enough yourself, to call another person or grpup immature. You further stated such things as, a secret society appealed to him, and the senseless bravado of wearing a pin, etc. Here again you are judging a person. And I wonder, have you personally asked what his xeasons Were, or are you tak ing a shot in thp dark ? How do you know he will prob ably claim that he got a raw deal and that he wanted to show off? Have you personally heard him say, or expound on any of the things you claim he will do or did? Further along in your dissei'ta- tion of human character and slan der you say that “they” have been seen together drinking beer, hail a member over for a party, and were just plain out and out asso ciating with each othei'. My, my, tell me comrades, do you’ll do your own spying or do you pay to have it done ? All in all it looks like the Edi tors of the Batt, for lack of some thing better to do, are trying to start, a Crusade on a group of peo ple, and one in particular. These men are already down and out for the count. Sort of like kicking a man when you know he can’t do anything about it. Some fun eh? This article reminds me of a bunch of back alley scrubs calling names over the fence. Print this in that garbage can liner you call a student publica tion.

All kinds of students are bugs about Luckies. Matter of fact, college smokers prefer Luckies to all other brands—and by a wide margin—according to the latest and greatest of all college surveys. Once again, the No. 1 reason: Luckies taste better. They taste better, first of all, because Lucky Strike means fine tobacco. Then, that tobacco is toasted to taste better. “/?’s Toasted” — the famous Lucky Strike process—tones up Luckies’ light, good tasting tobacco to make it taste even better . . . cleaner, fresher, smoother. So, enjoy the better-tasting cigarette . . . Lucky Strike. "Peftea taste LucLies...
