Man to Man
By JOE TINDEL
Two weeks from yesterday mid-semester grades will
come out and we’ll know the worst or the best.
Yesterday, many seniors received that letter they’ve
awaited so long—the one that says “we’re recommending
you for graduation.”
★ ★ ★
From the looks of the crowd in district court yester
day, many a college official and staff member lost a day
of work watching proceedings in the coed suit.
Prominent among the courtroom spectators were “Ole
Army Lou” and “Pinky” as well as other dignitaries such as
Col. Joe E. Davis, commandant; Lt. Col. Taylor Wilkins, as
sistant commandant, and Cadet Col. Jon L. Hagler, Corps
commander.
★ ★ ★
This year’s Civilian Weekend promises to be the most
successful yet. With the fine array of talent for the dance
band and the floor show, every person there should have a
fine time. There’ll be dates imported from Sam Houston
State College too.
Letter Tells Plight
Of ROTC Building
By FRED MEURER
A letter from Congressman
Olin E. Teague received yester
day wrote one big word across
any hopes that A&M may get an
ROTC building—bleak.
At least this is the case -if the
college administration waits for a
federal bill to aid institutions in
such undertakings.
The Board of Directors has
said it was considering an armory
to house all aspects of ROTC
training but it wanted to wait
and see if the college might get
federal help.
That help apparently won’t
come, at least not in the near
future.
Congressman Teague pointed
out that four attempts to get such
aid from the Department of De
fense had been rebuked. Each of
the attempts was originated by
different Congressmen.
According to an enclosed copy
of a letter received by Armed
Services Committee Chairman
Carl Vinson from the Defense
Department, the department esti
mates any of the bills would cost
the government 10 million dollars.
The letter said flatly:
“The Department of Defense
does not favor enactment of sub
ject bills.”
It pointed out that the Bureau
of the Budget believes “the educa
tional institutions, having ROTC
programs, should continue to
furnish necessary facilities with
out assistance from the Federal
Government.”
So an ROTC armory, which
definitely is a “necessary facili
ty,” is up to the college itself.

With the current recession and
millions facing unemployment-
type jobs, one senior (of sorts)
had this to say yesterday:
“Boy, jobs are sure going to
be hard to get this year. Sure
glad I’m not graduating.”
Besides, everyone knows the
class really needs leadership in
the fifth and sixth years.
All th^ beautiful sentiments in
the world weigh less than a
single lovely action.

THE STUDENT COUNCIL
AND HOW IT GREW
Today let us investigate a phenomenon of American college life
laughingly called the student council.
What actually goes on at student council meetings? To an
swer this burning question, let us reproduce here the minutes
of a typical meeting of a typical student council.
Meeting scheduled for 8:30 p.m. at Students Union. Called
to order at 10:63 p.m. by Hunrath Sigafoos, presiding. Motion
to adjourn made by Louis Bicuspid, freshman representative.
Motion ruled out of order by Hunrath Sigafoos, presiding. Hun-
rath Sigafoos called “old poop” by Louis Bicuspid, freshman
representative. Seconded by Delores Wheatgerm, sophomore
representative. Tabled by Hunrath Sigafoos, presiding.
Minutes of last meeting read by Zelda Pope-Toledo, secre
tary. Motion to accept minutes made by Hunrath Sigafoos,
presiding. Motion defeated.
Treasurer’s report not read because Rex Mercredi, treasurer,
not present at meeting. Rex Mercredi, treasurer, impeached
and executed in absentia.

allow sale of hard liquor in Sociology I and II. Seconded by
Delores Wheatgerm, sophomore representative. Motion tabled

Refreshments served—coffee, cake, Marlboro Cigarettes. The
following resolution adopted by acclamation:
“WHEREAS Marlboro is milder, tastier, and more pleasing
to smokers of all ages and conditions; and WHEREAS Marl
boro is contained in the crushproof flip-top box which is the
slickest, quickest, neatest container yet devised for cigarettes;
and WHEREAS Marlboro, that most commendable of smokes
in the most admirable of wrappings; is graced with the exclusive
Selectrate filter; therefore BE IT RESOLVED that it is the
sense of this meeting that Marlboro is far and away the best
cigarette on this or any other campus.”
Meeting adjourned with many a laugh and cheer at 11:74 p.ra.

The makers of Marlboro, irho bring you this column, here-
