Letters to the Editor
(Ed Note: The following was in
advertently left out of the letter
to the editor written by Philip R.
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.

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.

Phi Eta Sigma To Initiate
Eighty Freshmen Tuesday
Eighty freshmen will be initia
ted into Phi Eta Sigma, national
freshman honor society, Tuesday
at 4:30 p.m.
These students, by virtue of their
scholastic rating, leadership and
character were chosen on the basis
of grade point ratios during the
fall semester.
A g.p.r. of 2.5 or better is the
minimum requirement for admis
sion into the A&M chapter.
The nationwide organization be
gan 34 years ago on the campus
of the University of Illinois to
give freshmen with the ability,
energy and initiative an oppor
tunity to achieve academic honor
while still freshmen.
The idea quickly spread and to
day 100 colleges across the nation
have chapters.
Formal initiation of the new
members will be in the Birch and
Assembly Rooms of the MSC.
Freshmen qualifying for initia
tion are as follows:

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.

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.
