Civilians spend most of their time studying. As one Civil
ian puts it, “I didn’t come to A&M to improve my social
life.”
Studies, Mostly
Civilians Hustle In
Busy Campus Life
By BOB WEEKLEY
“Life is not a bowl of cherries”
are the words of a popular song,
and it may well be the theme song
of the A&M civilian students.
At least, that’s the opinion pass
ed out by the majority of non-regs
when asked what they thought of
V Civilian student’s life at A&M.
George (Pickle) Dillin Jr., sen
ior from Comanche, said he did not
come to A&M to develop his social
life.
“My main purpose in coming to
A&M is the courses offered and
the privilege of going to the best
school in Texas,” said Dillin.
No Inspection
Scheduled For
Officer’s Visit
Members of the Corps are
cleaning rooms, ironing uni
forms and shining shoes in
anticipation of the arrival of
a joint Army-Air Force team
of two Colonels and two Lt. Col
onels on the campus next Monday
and Tuesday.
The team will visit the campus
to study and observe the A&M
Cadet Coro’s methods of training
and organization, a Corps Staff
spokesman said yesterday.
The purpose of the visit is to
determine whether or not the
Cadet Corps meets the require
ments to qualify for the extra com
mutation granted military colleges.
No standby inspection will be
held during the period, the only
formal event for the officers being
a retreat parade which will be held
Monday night, he said.
Robert L. Burch, junior from
Port Arthur, finds it difficult to
take an active pai’t in the many
outside activities offered to Civil
ian students.
“I’d like to see all the Town
Hall programs and hear the Great
Issues speakers,” said Burch. “But
with the quizzes and all, who’s got
time ?”
William J. Koch, civilian fresh
man said, “Being a non-reg is a
definite advantage in the grades
department. We have more time
to study,” said Koch.
A majority of the students in
terviewed believed that the Corps
and the Civilian students would
have a more harmonious relation
ship this year.
Jack McGouirk, senior from
New London, said,
“The parade ground was a big
source of trouble last year, but
look at it now. Lush and green,
and you don’t see non-regs walk
across it now. We’re trying hard
er to get along with each other.”
Civilian students think they are
getting a fair share of the special
social activities planned for Ag
gies.
“We get to make most of the
dances and special features plan
ned around here,” said Burch, “and
when the Corps does have some
special attraction, the non-regs
have one just like it.”

Meet Nancy Norton of Texas
Women’s University. S h e’s our
new Aggie Sweetheart.
Miss Norton was chosen over a
field of 11 finalists by a team of
a dozen Aggies who made the elec
tion trek to Denton this week. The
finalists had previously been pick
ed from a stack of entry pictures
received at A&M.
After choosing the finalists last
week, the Aggies left for Denton
this weekend. They met the con
testants—then spent an afternoon,
a night and most of the following
morning deliberating over their
choice.
Cadet Colonel of the Corps Jon
Hagler said later all Nancy could
say was “ooooohhh...” when he an
nounced her as winner.
After she had regained her
senses, Miss Norton gleefully
commented: “Being the sweetheart
of 7,000 fighting Texas Aggies is
wonderful. I’m just as proud as
can be. Severn thousand Aggies!
I still can’t believe it!”
Nancy is a sophomore speech
therapy major from York, Neb.,
but she told Hagler: “I can talk
like a Texan if I really put my
mind to it.”
Nancy was reported to explain
her actions at the moment she was
named sweetheart in this manner:
“He (Hagler) came toward me
saying something about a kiss be
ing traditional. I just grabbed him
and kissed him; I was so excited.
Poor guy, he had lipstick all over
him.”
As for Hagler, he’s looking for
ward to the Fort Worth Corps Trip
when the episode will be re-enacted
before an Amon Carter Stadium
crowd. He said he hoped to break
the record for the longest kiss
then. Bob Surovik, president of
the Student Senate, will time the
pair with a stopwatch.
This will be Nancy’s first per
formance as. Aggie Sweetheart.
Hagler said the Senate would be
making other arrangements for her
as the year progresses. In addi
tion, Nancy will represent A&M in
other off-campus activities.
A series of rigid qualifications
are required for girls entering the
sweetheart contest. Sophomores,
juniors and seniors are nominated
by their respective classes, after
which pictures of preliminary con
testants ai'e sent to A&M. Con
testants must be at least sopho
mores, may never have been put
on scholastic or disciplinary proba
tion and may never have failed a
course. In addition, they must
have their parents’ approval.
Nancy and five other “Tessies”
will be guests of honor at yell prac
tice here Tuesday night, when they
will invite the entire Aggie student
body to the Texas Women’s Uni
versity campus during the Fort
Worth Corps Trip.
Hagler and Travis Johnson wei’e
co-chairmen of a committee to ap
point the Aggie electing- team.
The team included Theron McClar-
en, president of the senior class;
Bob Surovik, president of the Stu
dent Senate; Charles R. Smith,
Ross Volunteers commander; Don
B. Kirby, commanding officer of
the First Wing; G. T. Shepard,
commanding officer of the First
Regiment; J. Paul Costa, Corps
operations officer; Bill Wafer, Ci
vilian student i-epresentative; La
mar Smith, Civilian student repre
sentative; Charles Weinacht, Corps
representative; and. Jerry McGown,
senior yell leader.

The Braves broke the ice in the third inning with four
runs. With one out, Hazle singled and when Kubek made
