Anderson that appeared in yester day’s Battalion. These paragraphs refer to his statements regarding the points of his conclusion.) What then happens to the poor bugger that is working his way through college and is not an es pecially bright student? Will his Saturday Bull Ring and 4 point C.Q. help him ? Will those “sessions” of “brain washing” (used for lack of another decent word) in upperclassmen’s rooms help his grades any ? This together with the fact that the poor fellow works during his spare time, doesn’t give him much time to get in the extra study he needs and get his share of sack at the same time. Again, what hap pens to the veteran and the mar ried student? Has Aggieland no place for them too ? Talking about guts, does hazing a freshman or being hazed by an upperclassman put the stamp of a man with guts on a Aggie? I wonder how many men in the Corps would talk as loud if they were stuck under fire, tortured in a prison camp, or had the real hard life of a soldier. Ag’land Pictures Set For Civilian Dorms Civilian dormitory pictures for the Aggieland will be taken start ing Monday to the following schedule: March 11, 5:00 p. m. Dorm 16, 5:15 p. m. Law Hall, 5:30 p. m. Puryear Hall. March 13, 6:00 p. m. Hart Hall. March 14, 5:15 p. m. Leggett Hall.

ONLY “GUNFIGHTERS” Randolph Scott ALSO “LITTLEST OUTLAW” Pedro Armendariz I will be so bold at this moment to say that you won’t find more or less guts in the Corps as you will among the non-regs. Now, I have been in the Corps and have lived as a Civilian at A&M and have given my choice. I would be back in the Corps were it not for my grades but I can see advantages on both sides and have the temerity to say I can see the virtues of both sides of the argu ment from an adult’s point of view.

On Campos: with Max£‘hujman (Author of "Barefoot Boy With Cheek,” etc.) FASTER, FASTER! Pick up your paper every morning and what do you read? “Crisis in Higher Education.” That’s what you read. “Enrollment Spiralling Upward — Desperate Need for More Classrooms, More Teachers.” But classrooms, alas, do not spring up like mushrooms, nor teachers like mayflies. So what must we do while we build more classrooms, train more teachers? We must get better use out of the classrooms and teachers we now have. That’s what we must do. This column, normally a vehicle of good-humored foolery, of joy that wrinkled care derides, of laughter holding both his sides, will today forsake levity to ex amine the crisis in higher education. My sponsors, the makers of Philip Morris Cigarettes, as bonnie a bunch of tycoons as you will see in a month of Sundays, have given cheerful consent to this departure. Oh, splendid chaps they are, the makers of Philip Morris! Oh, darlin’ types they are, fond of home, mother, porridge, the Con stitution, and country fiddling! Twinkly and engaging they are, jaunty and sociable, roguish and winsome, as full of joy, as packed with pleasure, as brimming with natural goodness, as loaded with felicity as the ciga rettes they bring you in two convenient sizes — regular in the handy snap-open pack, and new long-size in a crushproof flip-top box — both available at moderate cost from your favorite tobacconist. Light one now. Light either end. No filter cigarette can make that statement. PEANUTS PEANUTS By cartoonist-of-the-year Charles M. Schulz LFL ABNER By A1 Capp PLEASE.

Let us then, with the gracious connivance of the makers of Philip Morris — Oh, splendid chaps! Oh, gra cious connivers! — take up the terribly vexing question of how we can turn out more graduates with campus facilities as they now exist. The answer can be given in one word: speedup! Speed up the educational process. Streamline courses. Elimi nate frills. Sharpen. Shorten. Quicken.-« - Following is a list of courses with suggested methods to speed up each one. Physics — Eliminate slow neutrons. Psych Lab — Tilt the mazes downhill. The white mice will run much faster. Engineering — Make slide rules half as long. Music — Change all tempo to allegro. (A collateral benefit to be gained from this suggestion is that once you speed up waltz time, campus proms will all be over by 10 p.m. With students going home so early, romance will languish and marriage counselors can be transferred to the buildings and grounds department. Also, housing now used for married students can be returned to the school of animal husbandry.) Algebra — If “x” always equals 24, much time-con suming computation can be eliminated. Languages — Teach all language courses in English. Dentistry — Skip baby teeth. They fall out anyhow. Poetry — Amalgamate the classics. Like this: Hail to thee, blithe spirit Shoot if you must this old gray head You ain’t nothin’ but a hound dog Smiling the boy fell dead. You see how simple it is? Perhaps you have some speedup ideas of your own. If so, I’ll thank you to keep them to yourselves. ©Max Shulman, 1957 The makers of Philip Morris have no interest in any speedup. We age our fine tobacco sloiv and easy. And that’s the way it sniokes — sloiv and easy —a natural smoke.
