The Battalion PAGE 2 Co,Ie « e stat, °" (Br ™’foMty), Texas C adet Slouch Tuesday, October 29, 1957 , M ^ ■Man to Man BY JOE TINDEL 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. Campus Personalities Spirit Identifies 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.

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.

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. Rugged lot, those submariners. Great drink, Coke!

"and, f ‘Barefoot Boy with Cheek") 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. % . UWP 1 aK- : ’ i ' , "‘ Jl " Atittoutsb/ ibe WilltfX" 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. © 1957, Max Shulmaa Every weekend is a party weekend when you smoke Marl boros, whose makers bring you this column throughout the school year.
