The Battalion College Station (Brazos County), Texas

Now We Know
Perhaps something can be gained after all from the
recent turmoil experienced by “C” Infantry.
According to cadets in the company, the lone junior re
ceiving punishment for one count of personal service was a
“victim of the system.”
Story is the junior came into the dorm from the mess
hall and was rushed to get in a fresh uniform to have his
picture made. In an effort to save time, he 'supposedly went
down the hall of the dorm asking if any freshman wanted to
earn a quarter.
When a freshman offered, the junior told him to shine
his shoes while he was changing into his fresh uniform, and
the “fish” would be paid a quarter.
Anyway, he was reduced in rank, campused until April
1, 1957 and placed on conduct probation for the remainder of
the semester. (It isn’t known at this time if the “fish” was
one of the nine freshmen punished for performing personal
service.)
As an outcome, it is now learned that regardless of mon
etary payment, freshmen cannot shine upperclassmen’s shoes.
This rule was known by most Infantry cadets but after
bouncing across the campus for two days, it is being received
as a surprise by many Corps members.
Even some of the members of the classes of ’56 and ’55
still on the campus were under the impression that as long
as a freshman was not forced and was paid, it was okay for
him to shine shoes.
Though it was costly for the junior involved, maybe his
case has brought the problem to light to the extent that no
one in the future will fall victim because of not knowing the
full implication of article 12 which covers personal service
but mentions nothing about payment for services rendered.
Unity For Survival
There are many varied reactions to the recent discip
linary action taken against 22 Infantry cadets.
But after the shock, indignation and disappointment,
there remains one prominent question.
How to stop further incidents of this kind?
Conscientious members of the Cadet Corps should be
searching for a way or ways to stop any future outbreaks.
Logically we can assume that a continuance of these out
breaks will eventually bring the ruination of A&M’s famous
Corps of Cadets.
Experience has shown there is no effective remedy from
the outside to stop these violations.
So this leaves only one alternative. The prevention will
have to come from within. Since the Corps no longer is
compulsory, its members must enjoy it or they would leave.
If we really enjoy it and want it to continue, we will
Work to save it.
In addition to juniors and seniors, freshmen and sopho
mores too must share the responsibility of building and pre
serving the Corps of Cadets.

THE DRESS PARADE
What will the American college student wear this
spring? Gather round, you rascals, and light a good
Philip Morris Cigarette, and puff that rich, natural to
bacco, and possess your souls in sweet content, and listen.
As we know, college fashions have always been casual.
This spring, however, they have become viakeshift.
The object is to look madly improvised, gaily spur-of-
the-moment ! For example, girls, try a peasant skirt with
a dinner jacket. Or matador pants with a bridal veil. Or
Benmida shorts with bronze breastplates. Be rakish!
Be impromptu! Be devil-take-the-hindmost!
And, men, you be the same. Try an opera cape with
sweat pants. Or a letter-sweater with kilts. Or a strait-
jacket with hip boots. Be bold! Be daring! Be a tourist
attraction!
'goMand&iLis GmM witieffltmt
Rut all is not innovation in college fashions this
spring. In fact, one of the highlights of the season turns
time backward in its flight. I refer to the comeback of
the powdered wig.
This charming accoutrement, too long neglected, has
already caught on with style-conscious students all over
the country. On hundreds of campuses rock-and-roll is
giving way to the minuet, and patriotic undergraduates
are dumping British tea into the nearest harbor. This, of
course, does not sit well with old King George. For that
matter, a lot of our. own people are steamed up too, and
there has even been some talk of revolution. But I
hardly think it will come to that. I mean, how can we
break with the mother country when we are dependent
on her for so many things — linsey-woolsey, minie balls,
taper snuffers, and all like that? She, on the other hand,
relies on us for turkeys, Philip Morris, Cinemascope, and
other valuable exports. So I say, if Molly Pitcher and
those other Bryn Mawr hotheads will calm down, we may
yet find an amicable solution for our differences. But
let not our British cousins mistake this willingness to
negotiate for weakness. If fight we must, then fight we
will! Paul Revere is saddled up, the rude bridge arches
the flood, and the R0TC is ready!
Rut I digress. We were smoking a Philip Morris
Cigarette —O, darlin’ cigarette! O, happy smoke! O,
firm! O, fresh ! O, fragrant! O, long-size! O, regular!
O, get some! — and talking of new spring fashions, let
us turn now to the season’s most striking new feature:
pneumatic underdrawers. These inflatable rubber gar
ments make every chair an easy chair. Think how wel
come they will be when you sit through a long lecture!
They are not, however, without certain dangers. Last
week, for example, Rimbaud Sigafoos, a University of
Pittsburgh sophomore, fell out of an 18th story window
in the Tower of Learning. Thanks to his pneumatic
underdrawers, he suffered no injury when he struck the
sidewalk, but the poor fellow is still bouncing and it is
feared that he will starve to death.
