Memories of a terrific weekend at Aggieland are still
lingering in the minds of many Aggies today, yet thoughts
of coming weekends have already begun to permeate study-
weary brains.
Things couldn’t have been greater for the Ags. Besides
beating Baylor, the Bryant aggregation made the game
even more pleasant for Aggies with dates with two touch
downs and tw’o extra points. .
However, during the scoreless second and third quar
ters, one Aggie-remarked in disgust:
“If this keeps up, I’m going to start kissing my date
after every first down.”
* * *
On the more serious side of the weekend, conduct of
some participants in midnight yell practice was deplorable
Friday night.
Despite attempts by Head Yell Leader Ted Lowe to
instill in their minds that a yell practice should be primarily
a place to build spirit, this handful of loudmouths continued
to make “wise” remarks. What made it worse was their
continued talking while the spirit was being played.
So begins another week at Aggieland. Until next week,
beat the H— out of Arkansas and hang on to those grade
points.

Head Yell Leader
P im jull\ Letters To The Editor
By JOHN WARNER
Twinkling- blue eyes peering- out
over a friendly grin distinguish
A&M’s head yell leader, Ted
Lowe.
The sandy-haired, crew cut sen
ior from Canyon makes his en
thusiasm contagious not only in
leading yells in The Grove and in
the football stadium but in every
day contacts with his fellow stu
dents.
“My outside interests are girls,
all sports and leathercraft in that
order,” the insurance major grin
ned.
Other accomplishments include
Town Hall staff, Panhandle Club,
junior yell leader, freshman class
officer and two years on the Stu
dent Senate. Active in intramu
rals, Lowe holds two medals for
wrestling.
“The Baylor game showed the
best spirit we’ve had all year by
far,” Lowe said. “But we still
lack the fourth quarter punch
that is so characteristic of the
Aggies. 1 sure would like to see
a lot of the 12lh Man down at
Arkansas.”
A familiar figure as a waiter
in Duncan Dining Hall, the 5’
SVz” Lowe came to A&M on an
Opportunity Awards scholarship.
He spent his first three years in
Squadron ,5 before becoming a
lieutenant colonel on the Corps
Staff as Corps liaison officer.
“I’m expecting the Class of
’61 to build the biggest and best
bonfire ever,” he said as the day
for beginning- work on the world’s
largest bonfire nears.
Upon graduation Lowe plans
to go into insurance management.

This letter is in reference to
your edition of October 22 and
the picture of Jon Hagler, ’58,
“saluting” the new Aggie Sweet
heart at the TCU game with a
39-second kiss.
I invite your attention to page
32 of the 1955-56 Aggieland,
which states that the ’56 “salute”
was just short of the record with
49.05 secqnds. I know because I
was right there as Larry Kennedy
did the honors.
I’m sorry but this takes the
record from Jon. Better luck to
next year’s Cadet Colonel of the
Corps.

Super Sub!
It’s been said that the atomic submarine
“Nautilus” stays submerged so long that it
only surfaces to let the crew re-enlist.
Perhaps for this reason, the Navy has taken
valuable space aboard the “Nautilus” for the
only soft-drink vending machine in the entire
submarine fleet.
Naturally (or you wouldn’t hear about it
from us) it’s a Coca-Cola machine. And not
unexpectedly, re-enlistments are quite
respectable.

grand old tradition. From the
or, but the pleasure too. A pro
fessional job ? Fight ’em Army.

THE PARTY WEEK END:
ITS CAUSE AND CURE
With the season of party weekends almost upon us,
my mail of late has been flooded with queries from young
inmates of women’s colleges wishing to know how one
conducts one’s self when one has invited a young gentle
man for a weekend. This morning, for example, there
were more than 30,000 letters, each containing a lock of
hair. I gave the hair to a bombsight maker and the
lanolin to a dry sheep of my acquaintance, and I turned
instantly to the question: How should a young lady de
port herself when she has asked a young gentleman to be
her guest at a party weekend?
Well, my dear girls, the first thing to remember is that
your young gentleman is far from home and frightened.
Put him at his ease. You might, for instance, surprise him
by having his mother sitting in a rocker on the station
platform when he gets off the train.
Next, what kind of corsage should you send your
young gentleman? Well-, my beloved maidens, orchids are
always acceptable.
If you find, my esteemed fillies, that your local florist
has run out of stock, do not be dismayed. Make a corsage
out of paper. But pick good, stiff, durable paper—twenty
dollar bills, for example.
Remember at all times, my fond wenches, to show
your young gentleman courtesy and consideration. Open
doors for him, walk on the traffic side of the path, assist
him to the punch bowl, zip his parka, light his Marlboros.
(What, you ask, if he doesn’t smoke Marlboros? Ridicu
lous, my precious nymphs! Of course, he smokes
Marlboros! Don’t you? Don’t 1? Doesn’t everybody
who knows a hawk from a handsaw?? What other ciga
rette gives you such a lot to like? Such filter? Such
flavor? Such flip-top box? No other, my sweet minxes, no
other. Marlboro stands alone, and any man worthy of you,
my estimable damsels, is bound to be a Marlboro man.)
If you will follow the simple instructions stated above,
my good lasses, you will find that you have turned your
young gentleman into a fast and fervent admirer. There
is nothing quite like a party weekend to promote romauce.

I am in mind of a party weekend some years ago at Miss
Pomfritt’s Seminary for Genteel Chicks in West Linotype,
Ohio. Serafina Sigafoos, a sophomore at this institution,
majoring in napkin folding, sent an invitation to a young
man named Fafnir Valve, a junior at the Joyce Kilmer
School of Forestry, majoring in sap and boles.
Anyhow, Serafina sent an invitation to Fafnir, and
he came, and she showered him wi£h kindness and cuff
links, and then he went away, and Serafina sat anxiously
by the mailbox, wondering whether she would ever hear
from him again. Sure enough, two weeks later she got
a letter: “Dear Serafina, Can 3 r ou let me have fifty bucks?
Yours, Fafnir.”
Whimpering with ecstacy, she ran to the bank and
withdrew the money and mailed it to him. From then on,
she got the same request every week, and as a result, she
became very well acquainted with Ralph T. Involute,
teller of the West Linotype Bank and Trust Co., and their
friendship ripened into love, and today they are happily
married and live in Stamen, Oregon, where Ralph is in
the extruded molasses game and Serafina is a hydrant.
