Battalion Editorials Page 2 THE BATTALION FRIDAY, MAY 6, 1955 Happy Mothers Day After weeks of preparing exhibits, straightening out rooms, and getting clothes cleaned, the Aggies are ready to show their school to the people who made it possible for them to be here—their parents. Thousands of parents will crowd the cam pus, as their sons take them around to all the activities—at least one exhibit, demon stration, or open house for each facet of campus life. It’s hard to get in one or two days an idea of what A&M is like and what it does, but the Mothers day weekend is the closest thing the average parent can get to it. When he goes home, an Aggie is liable to talk in esoteric terms like “bullneck,” “drown-out,” “ram,” “bull ring,” and such. Must be pretty incomprehensible to the pa rents. The parents also must wonder about what their son does with his time down here— they know studying doesn’t take all of it. So down they come for Mothers day, to see if they can figure it all out. They’ll learn a lot while they’re here, and see all sorts of interesting things. The first-timers—the freshmen’s mothers — will be seeing things for the first time, and the others will be renewing old acquaintances. But all of them will come away with a little of what A&M means to their sons, and that’s worth all the time and effort of prepar ation.
