i Battalion Editorials Page 2 THE BATTALION WEDNESDAY, APRIL 20, 1955 Cadet Slouch — by Earle Tradition anil Legend, In a school overburdened with pusedo- traditions, the annual Muster is a refreshing bright spot. Here is a tradition that has lasted through the years without coercion; one that has lasted because it really means something to the people who participate. Even the.current crop of college students of any given year, who generally like to con sider themselves a cynical, hardened lot, can’t help but feel a little sad and a little proud when someone’s friend answers “here” for him at his last A&M roll call. All through his four-year career here, the student is told that A&M men “really once an stick together” after they leave- Aggie, always an Aggie.” This is vague propaganda, of the sort to be heard at any school, until you see it prov en. The Muster here, and the stories of Musters all over the world, are proof enough. Out of the Muster history has grown a Muster legend—the Corregidor story—that is right up with the best of Texas history for courage and loyalty, the main attributes of heroes. The men of the Alamo and San Jacinto must consider themselves brothers of the men of the Corregidor Muster, and of the men of all the Musters. Inevita bility The Student Life committee’s recommen dation for student representation in the group should take care of both the military and civilian partisans. It’s a fair method, and it gives almost equal representation. The only dishearten ing factor was found in the discussion of the proposal at the group’s meeting. Some of the military and civilian students sounded like they considered a wide-open split between the military and civilian stu dents inevitable, and wanted to prepare for it. If both the military and civilian students get it into their heads that there is going to be a break along the uniform line, then there most certainly will be. And if everything is approached in a spir it of cooperation, there most certainly will not be. THAT TIME OF THE YEAR—With the coming of spring, all Aggies began thinking of women, the outdoors, women, beaches, and women. These six girls pack most of the Aggies’ thoughts into one picture as they show off new swim fashions. They are, left to right, Linda Link, Weslaco; Pat Workman, McAllen; Judy Russy, Brownsville; Mary Kirby, Harlingen; Kay Joyce, La Feria; and Daisey Varnam, Port Isabel.
