FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1955
The Choice Is Ours
Tomorrow is a big day around here.
We’ve got generals coming to the campus. We’ve got
Congressmen coming. We’ve got other military dignitaries
coming here. And we’ve got a lot of football fans coming,
too. *
With a large crowd such as this comes the ordinary
problems associated with such a body of people. This in
cludes parking, eating, courtesy and a myriad of other inci
dentals that are always blown up to larger than life size on
such a weekend.
And on this particular weekend we want to make a par
ticularly good impression on some particularly important
people.
The administration of the .college is still hoping to get
a special grant, which should be accorded to a military col
lege, relative to uniform and subsistence allowances. And
here for the Fall Military Day activities is the head of all
ROTC units in the nation.
We’re proud of how we act and look every‘day. But to
morrow is going to be harder to act and look as we do on
other days. Many factors—the huge crowd expected, the
natural slight tenseness of an important affair, the excite
ment of football, and others—could cause a little difficulty
if we, as students and faculty members, let them.
The impression we leave this weekend with all of our
many visitors is going to depend upon each individual. It’s
easy to think, “Well, my one little action is not going to hurt
anything.” Alone, it might not. But a bad taste about
A&M will be left in the mouths of our visitors when they
talk about this weekend later—if everyone commits “that
one little harmless action.”
It’s like voting: You’re vote may not look like much in
the midst of millions. But it’s the sum of all the single votes
that elect our government officials.
And in this case, it’s going to be the sum of all the in
dividual courtesies or discourtesies that will leave the overall
impression about our school. That impression—good or bad
—is up to us.

of a bright career*’*

reads The Reader’s Digest
©KARSH. OTTAWA
”/ am told that the Digest is now published in 12 languages,
and bought each month by more than IH million people. By
strengthening understanding among individuals, the Digest
helps people of many different nations to share their ex
periences and ideals. That is why l, for one, read the Digest
—and why I believe it helps create the conditions of world
peace which we all serif.”—From a statement in November
Reader's Digest by the U.S. Representative to the United Nations.
In November Reader’s
Digest don’t miss:
26-PAGE CONDENSATION FROM $3.50 BEST-SELLER:
“CAPTAIN DREYFUS.” “The Dreyfus Affair,” in
which France branded an innocent man a traitor,
is perhaps the most celebrated miscarriage of jus
tice in modern times. Here—in all its relentless
> drama—is the story of the hysteria-ridden case
that placed a man, a nation and the very concept
of justice itself on trial.
THE MAKING OF A WEST POINTER. A visit to the
United States Military Academy, where “they
give you a million-dollar education free—and jam
it down your throat nickel by nickel.”
WHY WOMEN ACT THAT WAY. They are clumsy at
pitching and running (their bones aren’t built-
like men’s). But they stand cold better'-than men;
hear better, too—and change their minds just half
as often! Scientific facts behind female behavior.
