Wish ' Problems
At this time of the year, there are usually multitudes
of mixed-up freshmen at Ag'gieland—fighting - desperately
with themselves for answers to problems facing them at
A&M.
Probably the most pressing - problem they face is trying
to find sufficient time to study and still participate in the
Corps training program, if a man wants to gain benefits
from Corps training and study, he must learn to budget his
time so that neither interferes with the other. If something
must interfere, naturally, his studies come first.
Another problem is overcoming homesickness. This, by
far, can be the most perplexing of all. Whether it’s loneliness
for parents or that wonderful girl left behind, homesickness
cap make ii freshman miserable to the point of distraction.
Time and interest in campus activities and studies are
the only cures. If a freshman can keep his mind off his past
and live day by day his interests at A&M, before long, the
tension eases.
Another problem, too real many times, is the possibility
that, despite all efforts, that girl at home may lose interest
and send the most dreaded of all letters—the “Deal - John.”
If records were checked on causes for Aggies “flunking
out,” trouble with their sweethearts would probably lead
the list.i
Solving this problem is as difficult as figuring out what
a woman is going to do next. The best tiling to do is avoid
shaping the future around that girl. Instead, make her a
part of the future which may or may not be there to add
pleasure to a professional or moral attainment.
Remember, all Aggies go through almost the same
problems. Those who are still here have conquered them.
The privilege of being an Aggie is not easily gained but no
freshman can afford to give up.
Value of the ^Spirit 9
Head Yell Leader Ted Lowe Tuesday night expressed
some concern over the spirit at Saturday’s game in Fort
Worth.
Although it was good, it did seem to lack the old punch
so typical of the 12th Man support. What caused the slight
slump is of little importance. How it is remedied this week
end will be what’s important. Baylor is by no means going tp
be “easy pickings.” One Associated Press prognosticator
picked the Aggies to win this week and said the edge would
come from the yelling - of the 12th Man.
The Spirit of Aggieland is becoming widely known as a
definite advantage to Bryant’s eleven and nothing should
keep them from giving their all-out support.

Editor:
The Battalion
I certainly enjoy reading The
Battalion especially any freshmen
news, editorials and “Man to
Man”. The Battalion sure keeps
one well informed on the activities
at A&M. Keep up the good work.
Would it be possible for the
freshmen mothers to have some
information on the A&M Mothers
Club ?

AMY SALT worth his salt will gripe when
told to paint a dull hull, varnish a vast
mast, or swab a dank plank. How to make
him break out in smiles? Just break out
the Luckies! He’ll be a Beamin’ Seaman
in no time—and no wonder! A Lucky’s a
light smoke—it’s one cigarette that’s
packed end to end with superbly light,
golden rich, wonderfully good-tasting to
bacco. And Luckies’ fine tobacco’s
toasted to taste even better! Now hear
this; Want to go light? Just go Lucky!
