The Inner Love
•
Tomorrow the boys from “Forty Acres” will put the
Aggies in a vise and try to squeeze them out of at least a
tie for the Southwest Conference championship and a bowl
bid.
There’s one big obstacle they shouldn’t overlook in
trying to beat the Aggies—The Spirit of Aggieland.
Every Aggie tomorrow will undoubtedly feel that famed
Spirit creep into his very soul and that same Spirit will
motivate the Fighting Aggie team and the world renowned
12th Man past the delicate “cookie-pushers” from Austin.
When an Aggie sings “The Spirit of Aggieland” he
means and feels the words and as a result there is nothing
which will keep him from fighting to the end for the school
he thinks so grand.
Every member of the team and the 12th Man will be
out there on Kyle Field with but one desire—to beat TU.
Behind the burning desire is a love for their school which
surpasses all others. It’s a love that no one really under
stands but it’s one which is ever present.
It is that love for Aggieland that has been dominant no
matter whether the Aggies are down or not. It’s a love that
outlives all hardships and continues to burn deep even after
graduation.
It’s a love for a school that has taken hopeful high
school seniors and molded them into true men of respon
sibility.
And it’s that same deep love—called the Spirit of Ag
gieland—that has made A&M men more respected through
out the world than any others.
Board Halts College ‘Visits’
In order to discourage defacing of property at the
University of Texas and A&M, the A&M Board of Direc
tors adopted the following resolution in 1954:
“The Board of Directors of the Texas A&M College
System and the Board of Regents of the University of Tex
as view with concern the growing tendency of the students
of the two schools to visit the campus of the other insti
tution and paint or otherwise deface statues, buildings or
other state property. It is ordered that any student of any
college under the control of these two boards who goes to
another college campus with the intent to paint or other
wise deface statues, buildings or commit other depreda
tion shall be punished by at least being suspended from the
college for the semester in which the act occurs.”
‘Longhorns Ready Too’
From the looks of the Frosh game, the bonfire, and the
talk from “Ags” visiting their Texas female friends, it seems
as though the Aggies are ready for that Turkey Day game.
The Texas Longhorns are ready, too. More students are
going to the game from the University of Texas than have
ever gone before
I am sure the TV network will be looking for excite
ment/ when the ball is not in play. I am also sure that the
excitement they will find is the spectacular way in which
these two great schools will conduct their yelling and con
trol their emotions under high tension situations.
Everyone will s,ee a good sport (football) played its
best November 28 at College Station; everyone will see good
sports (fans) playing their best November 28 at College
Station. We’re two proud schools. Let’s make the nation
proud to know us.

Statistics Favor U'T
In Annual Game
By JOE BUSER
Texas Aggie,s meet the Univer
sity of Texas Longhorns tomor
row and the boys from Forty
Acres will be seeking a victory
to offset the 34-21 trouncing they
received in Memorial Stadium last
Thanksgiving.
And the statistics are in their
favor.
Of the 63 games played by the
two arch rivals, A&M has won
only 17 and tied five.
Of the 41 wins over the Aggies,
the Longhorns have handed down
24 .shutouts.
The series between the two
schools began in 1894, the first
year the Aggies sported a foot
ball team. A&M played only two
games- that year, taking Ball
High School 14 to 6 and losing to
Texas 38 to 0. This was one of
the largest margins the ’Horns
have ever had over the Ags.
Highest score A&M has ever run
up on the Texans was 28-0 in
1925.
The cadets failed to score on
the “sippers” for the next eight
games, even though in ’00 and ’01
they played two games with the
Longhorns each year.
First win was the second game
of the year in 1902, played after
an 0-0 tie. A&M won 12-0. The
sweet taste of victory was lack
ing in the Brazos bottom for
seven years after the first win
over Texas; Ags won 5-0 in 1909.
They followed that win up with
the only two-in-a-row win they
have in .series in 1910, winning
by a score of 14-8.
In the last ten years, Ags have
won only twice, 1951, by ; one
point, 22-21, and in 1956, 34 f -21.
The game in Memorial Stadium
last year marked the first Aggie
victory there in 33 tries. Itvmior
was for some time that the “Sips”
were going to tear down their
stadium but after some debate,
they decided to wait until this
year—and tear down ours.
And tomorrow will tell the tale.

We, the underclassmen in
Squadron 7 would like to say a
few words about your late
editorial on the alleged “indoctri
nation” of the Corps.
We don’t know how you get
your information, surely it is not
from the members of the Corps.
Do you have a non-reg spy watch
ing the “brainwashing” sessions?
Has it ever occurred to you that
maybe if you got out and in
vestigated this Honor Code per
suasion, you could improve your
criticism of the Corps.
We sincerely hope that you wil

Editor:
The Battalion
I read your editorial in the Nov.
20 issue in which you used your
influence to encourage opponents
of the proposed Corps Honor code
to “ . . . take immediate action to
stop the indoctrination by the
Corps leaders.” Are you sure you
have the good of the school in
mind ?
I personally believe that the
tradition that Aggies “don’t lie,
cheat, or steal,” has remained
dormant long enough. This year’s
Corps seniors have done more
that any class has done, since I
have been here, to put the Aggie’s

honor on the high standard it
should be. They should be com
mended, not rebuked.
If you are afraid the Civilian
students’ honor will be “submit
ted to question” by the presence
of a Corps Honor Code, why don’t
you use your influence to start an
honor code for the Civilians? In
fact, I challenge the Civilian stu
dents to create an honor code that
will put their honor above re
proach even in the presence of
the Corps Honor Code. You may
find out why the school-wide
honor system failed to win ap
proval la,st year.
I sincerely hope this challenge
is accepted and met, since it
would provide A&M with a badly
needed honor code, for both the
Corps and the Civilian students.
But don’t expect to design a code
th:it will work both for military
and civilain life. They must be
separate and parallel.
And now a word in favor of
honor codes in general: The man
that believes a cheated “A” is
more valuable than an honor
“C” is not getting a good edu
cation.
