Man to Man
By JOE TINDEL
Today is the big day when we know who’ll be filling
this chair during 1958-59.
Only 25 more issues remain before I will be cleaning out
the old desk and letting the new editor move in.
All three of the men running for the job are good men
and each would be an asset to the student publications
program.
Texas A&M is at a crossroads. The man who is selected
must be one who can help guide our institution down the
right road. Good luck to the man selected!

“The Mole” has progressed into more than just a news
paper expressing thoughts formerly suppressed.
Students calling themselves “mole men” have done
more to harm their cause for independence from the mili
tary by the mob demonstration and effigy-burning of Thurs
day night than they have to help it.
Such enthusiasm and desire to be independent from
the military departments should be put to constructive
means rather than such action.
★ ★ ★
Corps re-organization can be done by constructive
means rather than through such violence.

FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE
The first thought that comes into our minds upon entering
college is, of course, marriage. But how many of us go about
seeking mates, as I like to call them, in a truly scientific manner?
Not many, you may be sure.
So let us today make a scientific survey of the two principal
causes of marriage—personality need and propinquity.
Personality need means that we choose mates because they
possess certain qualities that complete and fulfill our own per
sonalities. Take, for example, the case of Alanson Duck.
As a freshman Alanson made a fine scholastic record, played
varsity scrabble, and was president of his class. One would
think that Alanson was a totally fulfilled man. But he was not.
There was something lacking in his life, something vague and
indefinable that was needed to make his personality complete.
Then one day Alanson discovered what it was. As he was
walking out of his class in Flemish pottery, a fetching coed
named Grace Ek offered him a handsome red and white pack
and said, “Marlboro?”
“Yes!” he cried, for all at once he knew what he had been
needing to round out his personality—the hearty fulfillment of
Marlboro Cigarettes, the soul-repairing mildness of their fine
tobacco, the easy draw of their unparalleled filter, the ease and
convenience of their crushproof flip-top box. “Yes, I will take a
Marlboro!” cried Alanson. “And I will also take you to wife
if you will have me!”
“La!” she exclaimed, throwing her apron over her face. But
after a while she removed it and they were married. Today
they live happily in Baffin Land where Alanson is with an
otter-glazing firm and Grace is a bookie.
Propinquity, the second principal cause of marriage, simply
means closeness. Put a boy and a girl close together for a sus
tained period of time and their proximity will certainly ripen
into love and their love into marriage. A perfect example is
the case of Fafnir Sigafoos.
While a freshman at Louisiana State University, Fafnir was
required to crawl through the Big Inch pipeline part of his
fraternity initiation. He entered the pipe at Baton Rouge and,
alone and joyless, he proceeded to crawl north.
As he passed Lafayette, Indiana, he was agreeably surprised
to be joined by a comely girl named Mary Alice Isinglass, a
Purdue freshman, who, oddly enough, had to crawl through
the Big Inch as part of her sorority initiation.
Chatting amiably as they crawled through Ohio, Pennsyl
vania, and New York State, Fafnir and Mary Alice discovered
they had much in common—like a mutual affection for licorice,
bobsledding, and the nonsense verse of Arnold Toynbee. When
they reached the Vennont border they were going steady, and
when they emerged from the pipe at Boothbay Harbor, Maine,
they were engaged.
After a good hot bath they were married and today they live
in Klamath Falls, Oregon, where Fafnir is in the weights and
measures department and Mary Alice is in the roofing game.
They have three children, all named Norman. © 1958. Max Shulmaa

Propinquity is sure to mean lore when you put yourself
close to a pack of Marlboros, made for your pleasure by the
