PAGE 2
College Station (Brazos County), Texas
FridaOctober 12, 1956
At Other Schools
It’s great to see The Daily
Texan around the office this
year. Last year during all
the controversy between Edi-
to Willis Morris and the Board
of Regents it Avas conspicuously
absent from our files. This year’s
coed editor evidently hasn’t stirred
up the hornets nest yet.
Please stay out of trouble.
Miss Editor. We enjoy musing
through your paper in our
spare time.
Don Bott, writer for The Texan
has gotten the paper off to a bad
start already. In a letter to The
Texan a reader sharply criticezed
the writer on a story, “Student
Biochemists Study Schizophrenics”.
The letter accuses Bottof several
gross misstattements of facts in the
story besides misspelling the names
of tAvo men connected Avith the pro
ject. *
The writer in the future had
better remember some of the
basic rules of journalism. He
also might remember the card
inal journalistic sin, taking
things for granted.
Texas Tech
Our ncAvest member of the
Southwest Conference is having
trouble Avith its freshman program
this year. It seems that they can’t
get their freshman to wear slime
caps. Besides this they say that
the freshman think that they are
Thompson’s
SINCLAIR
Service Station
Remember
Power-X Gasoline
Is
AAA Endorsed
Texas at Nor lit Ave.
Between Miller’s and Orr’s
A'eteran upperclassmen. They can’t
get the freshmen to enter into the
annual shoe race at the homecom
ing game because they refuse to
act like freshman. A Toreodor
editorial says that Tech has a long
roAv to hoe before they ha\ r e fresh
man programs like A&M, TU and
Rice.
You have a longer roAv to hoe
than you think if you even
Avant to measure up to the pro
gram at A&M. Who could
blame the freshmen at Tech
for not wanting to wear those
kiddish slime caps? Is a boy
or girl going to college to re
turn to his or her childhood
days or to be made into mature
men and women ?
Baylor
Up Baylor Avay Joe Harrell
writes about the Aggies football
team in the Lariat. He says, “The
Aggies can be had. Sure they Avere
big, bold and bad Saturday night
as they mauled Texas Tech 40-7 at
the Cotton Bowl, but Bryant’s ’56
edition doesn’t have the polish and
precision of a great club.”
Later in the column he says
“Jack Pardee, senior fullback, who
Avas a defenswe demon in the first
half had three passes com
pleted in his zone on one series late
in the third period.” He feels that
any Conference club can keep the
Aggies honest Avith a few off tackle
punches and then pass us to death
This is typical of the propa
ganda our bare (ooops) Bear
friends put out from time to
time. One wonders to what ra
dio station he listened to the
game.
SMU
It seems that there has been a
foamy substance on the surface of
the Avater in the fountain at SMU.
Some upperclassmen attributed it
to the fact that some freshmen
haA-e taken dips in the fountain
during to week. Scientists say that
it is a frothy concentration of
Sodium Chloride caused by the
Avater supply.
The upperclassmen are pro
bably right. The situation
makes one wonder if the ‘slime’
ever left the water.

Letters to the Editor
Editor,
The Battalion
Your uncontemplated idea which
was placed in The Battalion only
sho\A r s Avhat an incomplete person
you are. Apparently you haA 7 e let
your job become an obsession. Is
the military so important that no
man can be without it and be first
class ?
Being a good student and a good
Aggie' is my job right noAA r just as
being a good officer is yours.
AcknoAAdedging the fact that you
are a high-ranking officer I’d say
you don’t have much right to call
anyone second raters when you
don’t even keep the junior officers
squared away enough to present a
fitting example for the cadets in
this command.
Seldom Avill you see such a bunch
of sloppy leaders as these and
never have I seen NaA r y or Marine
officers Avith so little pride in their
outfit as to de-reate it the Avay you
have yours.
