The college has been unable to take part in post season bowl games or in national championships under the penalty, imposed May 14, 1955. Ken Loeffler, basketball coach involved in four new charges of basketball recruiting rules viola tion, resigned Tuesday denying any wrong doing.

I also agree that military in a pure form is detrimental to this out look. But the Corps, to me is not a strictly military organization. In the first place it is mainly run by the students and as most things are based on class and not rank, there comes a time when each stu dent in the Corps must look at certain policies or make his own policies, "weigh the evidence for or against and try to convince some one else that they are or are not good policies. Also due to close contact with people in the Corps a person must associate with all types of people, people he wouldn’t ordinarily associate with, as people who think alike tend to stick to gether. In this close association he must listen to everyone’s ideas not just the people who agree with him. This certainly helps to develop a more broad-minded inquiry or at least the acceptance that other people can have good ideas whether he agrees with them or not. Certainly being faced with prob lems and policies dealing with groups of people are often more stimulating to this thought' than the mere concern With grades and (See LETTERS, Page 4) Nelson Names SC ON A III Committee Heads, Staff SCONA III committee heads and members were announced recently by Jack Nelson, conference chair man.

On Campus with MaxQhuJman (Author of “Barefoot Boy With Check," etc.) VALEDICTORY With this column I complete my third year of writing for Philip Morris. It has been my custom in the final column of each year to forego any attempts at humor, because you, dear readers, have had your funnybones so frozen by the cold wind of impending final exams that it is futile to try to get a laugh out of you; and because in this last column of the year we are saying goodbye, and goodbyes are occasions for sweet solemnity, not slapdash foolery. USED BOOKS ® Your friendly College Exchange Store is in the market for ALL the hooks you want to sell which are still current editions — © As usual we offer the highest prices for books which are to he used at the A&M College during the next 12 months. • Many titles have been discontinued here, but most of these have A NATIONAL MARKET VAL UE. We have the buying lists of the Nation’s leading used hook jobbers and offer you the top wholesale prices for these. ® We have no gimmicks — no deals — no tie-ins ... just plain fair over-the-counter dealing. Today my heart is full. I am grateful, first of all, to the Philip Morris Company who make this column pos sible. They have given me a completely free hand in the choice of subject matter; they have not tampered in any way with my copy; they have been unfailingly courteous and helpful. I wish to take this occasion to extend heart felt thanks to the makers of Philip Morris for their most touching kindness, and to notify them that if we renew our association for another year, I shall require a sub stantial increase in salary. Second, I should like to tender my thanks to you, dear readers. A writer’s life is not an easy one. There are an appalling number of hazards—a drought of ideas, for one; catching your necktie in the roller of your type- writer, for another—and when a writer is blessed, as I have been, with an audience as alert, as bright, as intelli gent as you, dear readers, then he must take his hat in his hand and his necktie out of the typewriter and humbly give thanks. This, dear readers, I now do. Thanks for being dear. Thanks for being readers. Finally, I wish to thank the tobacconists of America who make it possible for us to buy our Philip Morris Cigarettes by the pack. If there were no tobacconists, we should have to buy our Philip Morrises direct from the factory in boxcar lots. This would present grave storage problems to those of us who live in dormitories and other substandard dwellings. O All we ask is thal you get our prices before selling. The Exchange Store Serving Texas Aggies I hope, by the way, that you have been to your tobac conist’s lately and bought some Philip Morris Cigarettes. I have been trying to beguile you into smoking Philip Morris Cigarettes by means of what advertising men call the “soft sell.” Indeed, I have occasionally gone beyond the soft sell into the “limp” or ‘“flabby” sell. I hope my pulpy merchandising has had its effect, foi here is an enchanting cigarette, pure, natural pleasure, a joy, a jewel, a haven to the storm-tossed, a bower to the weary. And in addition to being a haven, a bower, and all like that, Philip Morris is a boon to the absent minded. Iso matter which end you light, youie light. And so goodbye. Go in peace, go in content. May good fortune attend your ventures, may love and laughter brighten the corners where you are. See you, hey. ©Max Shulman, 1957 fl’s been a great pleasure for us, the makers of Philip Morris, to bring you this monument to the soft sell each tccek. Till next year, goodbye, good luck, and good smoking —tcith natural Philip Morris, of corris!
