“Buck for Buddy”
Begins Monday
BY JOE BUSER
Student Senate sponsored Cam
pus Chest starts solicitation on
the campus Monday with a dollar
an Ag its goal.
The idea of a single, unified
fund drive is new to Aggies, not
so the idea of giving to help a
buddy in need. Ags have always
taken care of their own. But next
week, chances are that none of
our number will be in need—and
consequently, some may be tempted
to pass up their single chance to
donate to the Chest.
However, money raised next week
may be used on the fellow who sits
next to you in class, or stands next
to you in the stands. Or it may be
used on the fellow that stands
next to him.
The purpose of the Chest is to
have a sum of money on hand so
when it’s needed, no last minute
shakedown is necessary.

Of course, we hope the money is
never used. But in years past, it
was needed—and no one can bo
assured that this year, he won’t
bo the one that needs it.
Christmas is the season of giv
ing. And this Christmas, Aggies
have an opportunity to give some
one the help he may desperately
need before the year is over.
At A&M, everything is the big
gest in the world; our bonfire, our
Corps, our band knows no equal.
And likewise, our brotherly feeling
towards other Aggies knows no
equal. But we need not wait until
some Ag is down to come to his
aid—isn’t it better to be prepared
ahead of time?
Monday is the first day of “Buck
for a Buddy” week—if every man
does his part and contributes what
he can, Texas Aggies will be pre
pared to take care of their own
kind, should one fall victim to
disaster.
in Appeal For Neatness
An Appeal to Civilian Students:
One of the main responsibilities of your Civilian Stu
dent Council is developing the prestige of the Civilian Ag
gies. This is not a job which can be accomplished by the few
men who are actually on your council, but rather requires
the cooperation and support of each student. With this in
in mind, your council asks your support in correcting a fault
which has too long been charged against Civilian Aggies.
v It is often charged that Civilians are sloppy and care
less about their personal appearance. While this is certainly
not true of most, the careful observer must admit that there
are some students who, at times, allow themselves to become
rather sloppy.
Certainly the Council does not expect Civilians to start
wearing suits to class and throw away all their other clothes,
but a shave, neat haircut and clean clothes should not be
beyond the reach of anyone. We do expect each man to ap
pear at his best in whatever clothes he chooses to wear.
If each Civilian will take the time and effort to see that he
is presentable and that his clothes are appropriate, he will
help increase the prestige of Civilian Aggies as a whole
and gain dividends of pride in himself and respect of his
associates.
Your Civilian Student Council

Editor
The Battalion
No longer are the Aggies No. 1
in the nation or conference, but
they still deserve the praise for
the nation’s best. Instead, there
have been many remarks made,
by people who call themselves
Aggies, running down this team.
I remember when, as a freshman,
those fighting Aggies had a 1-9
record, but they were still the
best to the men of their school.
Since that time, we have again
become the football power we
once were.
The Aggie Spirit has always
been known to back its team, win
or lose, but many are beginning
to act like the people of “sip-
land” when we are outscored.
Whether “Ole Army is going to
Hell,” or not, lets never say that
about the good ole Aggie Spirit!

But if you want to enjoy smoking as never be

tastes so rich, smokes so good and mild. Could
be that’s why more people today smoke Camels
than any other cigarette. Love that Camel!
