Advertising rates furnished At Other Schools Love of Animals Dominates SWC By JIM BOWER Battalion News Editor A new sound has been added to the discordant cries of freedom .and politics that usually flow from the University of Texas. It seems that one of the students has become highly indignant about the treatment the squirrels are receiving on the UT campus. Said the student in a letter to the Daily Texan, the campus newspaper: “I had the misfortune of witnessing a UT student throw a rock at one of our cute squirrels that live in the trees on our campus.” He further expressed his opinion by saying that he didn’t see how anyone who was thinking could mistreat the “charming little animals when everyone enjoys them so much.” He stated that everyone should pitch in to make the squirrels happy. We agree and add that ALL of the squirrels at UT should be kept happy and healthy. UH Also joining in the Be Kind to Animals Week is The Cougar, offi cial paper for the University of Houston. The Cougar reported that some student was seen trying to run over a pheasant that was leisurely “striding” across the parking lot. After dodging the car, the poor fowl disappeared into a clump of nearby woods to become “a welcome companion to the rabbits and squirrels that already abound on the campus.” A note to the pheasant; bop, don’t stride. It’s much more natural on the UH campus. But watch out for those cool cats. Baylor Npthing especially unusual seems to be happening on the Baylor campus. However, there was one headline in the Lariat which might stir the imagination. We quote: “1914 Scholarships Deadline Set”. Okay Aggies, man your time machines and take a short trip back ward. Flash from the advertising section of the Lariat; “For Rent: Honeymoon cottage in Pecan Grove. Couples only. $55 per month.” No comment. SMU The SMU Campus also is devoting its news columns to animals. Says the campus: “The muskrat is not a rat. He is an amphibious ro dent and should be called a musquash.” Poor rats. Even they aren’t safe from the forces of segregation.
