Man to Man
By JOE TINDEL
All the sweating that went on yesterday wasn’t neces
sarily caused by the suddenly warm weather.
Most of it occurred in the last moment before each
Aggie looked at his grades posted on various bulletin boards
across the campus.
★ ★ ★
Speaking of the weather and yesterday reminds me of
the real relief all that sunshine afforded from the cold,
rainy weather we had at times last week,
I noticed several Ags were stretched out on blankets
Sunday afternoon trying to get the full benefit of the warm
ing sun.
Ah spring, when a young man’s heart turns to. . . .
★ ★ ★
Today’s issue of the Battalion is the last until after the
holidays. Since nearly everyone will be gone tomorrow after
noon, we decided not to publish.
But the staff of The Battalion will be working on
despite the holidays. Most of us are going down to either
Liberty or Cleveland and publish the weekly newspapers
there which come out after Easter.
★ ★ ★
Nick Hopkins, the bearded wonder of the A&M Soccer
Team, almost lost his beard Sunday when the Aggie team
grabbed the state championship.
Nick had made a deal with his comrades that he would
let them shave his beard if the Aggies won.
They won but they didn’t—shave his beard.
When his teammates got him down to do the dirty
work, the fans watching protested loudly.
With their thumbs up in the style of the Roman gladia
tor days, they yelled for his release.
And in the gallant way of Roman gladiators, his team
mates let him up and he remains—
“The Bearded Wonder of the A&M Soccer Team.”
★ ★ ★
Happy Easter from all The Battalion staff.

Stories YOU’D Find
Interesting
Everyday the columns of news
papers are filled ivith stories they
think will be interesting. Today,
as a special April One feature,
The Battalion proudly presents...
Latest member of the Corps of
Cadets is a senior from Athens
who said as he took the oath of
office, “I can't stand it any long
er. I want to be like the rest of
you guys.”
The newest look-a-like picked
up a record sum of 5,098 demer
its by noon today and will be
here at least two years after
graduation just to attend the sen
ior courts held in his honor.
A small liberal arts college
about 100 miles west of College
Station today allowed two white
boys to enroll, despite protests
of students there.
The college had said it would
sell the homestead before allow
ing an infiltration of this kind.
At present, they own some
what in the neighborhood of 40
acres.
The Corpse will liven up a bit
next year—the wearing of khaki

A FRAT TO REMEMBER
Every year, as we all know, the Benevolent and Protective
Order of Collegiate Fraternities awards a highly coveted prize
to the fraternity house which, in its judgment, has done the
most to promote and enhance the fraternity way of life. The
prize this year—eight hundred pounds of putty—goes to the
Alpha Hernia chapter of the South Dakota College of Dentistry
and Renaissance Art.
The award this year is exceptionally richly deserved, for the
Alpha Hernia house is the very model of all a fraternity should
be. It is, first of all, a most attractive house physically. The
outside walls are tastefully covered with sequins. Running along
the upper story is a widow’s walk, with a widow stationed every
three feet. Moored to the chimneypot is the Oral' Zeppelin.
^ Mdotis W/k. MdiQlw fifty thrtf fttf.. *
Indoors the house gives an impression of simple, casual charm.
The chapter room is furnished in homey maple and chintz,
with a dash of verve provided by a carp pool three hundred
feet in diameter. A waterspout rises from the center of the pool
with the housemother bouncing on the top.
Members’ rooms arc gracious and airy and are provided with
beds which fold into the wall and arc never seen again. Each
room also has a desk, a comfortable chair, a good reading lamp,
and a catapult for skeet-shooting. Kidney-shaped desks are
available for kidney-shaped members.
Perhaps the most fetching feature of the house are the packs
of Marlboros stacked in heaps wherever one goes. If one wishes
to enjoy a fine filtered cigarette in any room of the house, all
one need do is reach out one’s hand in any direction and pick
up a Marlboro. Then one rubs two pledges together, lights one’s
Marlboro, and puffs with sweet content the tastiest smoke the
mind of man has yet devised.
The decor, the grace, the Marlboros, all combine to make
Alpha Hernia a real gasser of a fraternity. But a fraternity is
more than things; it is also people. And it is in the people depart
ment that Alpha Hernia really shines.
Alpha Hernia has among its members the biggest BMOCs
on the entire campus of the South Dakota College of Dentistry
and Renaissance Art. There is, for instance, William Make
peace Sigafoos, charcoal and bun chairman of the annual Stamp
Club outing. Then there is Dun Rovin, winner of last year’s
All-South Dakota State Monoply Championship, 135 Pound
Class. Then there is Rock Schwartz, who can sleep standing up.
Then there is Tremblant Placebo, who can crack pecans in his
armpits. Then there is Ralph Tungsten, who went bald at eight.
But why go on? One can see what a splendid bunch of chaps
there is in Alpha Hernia, and when one sees them at the house
in the cool of the evening, all busy with their tasks—some
licking locks, some playing Jacks-or-Better, some clipping
Vlaj'boy—one’s heart fills up and one’s eyes grow misty, and
one cannot but give three cheers and a tiger for Alpha Hernia,
fraternity of the year!

And, if you don’t mind, a rousing huzzah for Marlboro,
cigarette of the year, whose makers take pleasure in pick-
ing up the tab for this column.
