Hut with proper counaelinK. they’ll know tverythinR a freshman neerls and doesn't nee<l to know—if they stay the entire year. Freshman adjustment to colleite life is painfully slow when observed by upperclassmen. This is true itainly be cause the adjimtment is truely painfully slow. But the Class of 1962 isn’t the first class to need time to jrather and almorb the knowledjre Ajrjrie “fish'’ are ex pected to accumulate. Upperclassmen could well temper their disappointment with rembrances of their freshmen year and the seeminfly impossible tasks they were assign ed — and accomplished by the end of the year. The “fish” that left last year were certainely well in formed. But maybe it would have lieen better to let them learn the eampuaolotry a bit slower — and have them back this fall. It seems to make jrnod sense that a well instructed fresh man slowly developed into a well-informed Ayyie over his entire first year An Aggies is much more credit to AAM than a six-weeks wonder who leaves before mid-term — full of knowledge about the “wonderful” school he used to attend. AAM wants and needs the earnest support of freshmen. Since they make up approximately half of the entire Corps of Cadets their well being and spirit largely governs the progress, success or failure of military training at AAM. With reasonable and intelligent instruction administer ed with patience, freshmen will measure up to the standards set for fourth classmen But tf upperclassmen persist in rushing the education process, the net result may tie well informed freshmen but many of them may not get their mail at College Station next year. . . . Wary Soph Tells of Switch From Foot ball to Medicine By J4( K TBAGI E I think th« bir*n»t kirk 1 r«t from srrttin* this column is the repression on sn Aggie's face when I walk into his room asd tell him I'd like to write a story on him. Some are excited, some werried, some indifferent But most of them react like this sophomore. Tom Austin He was staitugd hut brave ly pulled himself together and asked, •What have 1 done Sow?" Well, that's what we want to know. Tom was born in Alice and has lived there all his life His dad is manairer of the Physicians and Surgeons Hospital there and this factor more than anything else other probably helped start Tom on his way to being a doctur He is a member of Curtis Boyd s A Medical outfit.

This paved his way to Aggieland. Because of his ability as an end. Tom was giver a seholarbsip to play Fish football here last year He was a member of B Athletics and majored in B.A This year he startl'd as a roomer in "Junction Manor" (Henderson Hall! and had planned to continue his foott*all career. But he bad a choice to make either being a football player or being a doctor, Tom says he still gets the "old feeling" when he sees the Agglea work out, but thinks he made the right decision Guion Hall Tret lew Saturday Night AIho Sunday & Monday *w # * s*.Dju'to * ’'‘u The season of flying football*, harvest moons, falling leavo# and that unmentionable subject of studying is here again, and we at Texas Women'* University are slowly beginning to realne we a it back in the old groove Speaking of flyihg footballs, the sophomore, junior and senior clauses elected 44 at TWl“s most beautiful and repiesentative girls Monday and Tuesday to compete as finalists for the Aggie Sweet heart, who will be presented at the annual Corps Tnp football game in Dallas.

Hyde, head yell leader, I would say they were very im pressed The Ags really gave the new Teaaiee a great welcome Many of TWC’s new students got a chance to try out the yells taught them Friday night at the Aggie football gume Saturday. However, they were a little disap pointed at the results of this game, as I am sure were the Aggies. Same of the even "newer** Tesah-y were a little surprised by the Aggie tradition following touchdowns and extra points. However, 1 think they soon got "accustomed" to this and came home with the complaint only of tired feet. Committee* are making some big plans for the Dallas Corps Tnp Oct. 1'J It t* something we at Teesie look forward to each year, so we hope as many of you Aggies as possible will come up and join in the fun. Friday night preceding Satur day’s game, there will be a Pre- Corps Dance held in the Union Budding Ballroom Hostesses will circulate throughout the dance, and they will see that any of you Aggies without dates are intro duced to girls. TWC’s first all university dance is being held this coining Saturday night. 1 am sure our students have invited many of you up and we hope to see you at the dance. That’s the news from Tessie land this week. He seeing you around the campus.

"Barefoot Bog with Ckook ") HOW GREEN WAS MY CAMPUS Don’t tell me- I know how busy you've been! I know all the things you’ve had to do in the opening days of the school year— registering, paying fern, finding lodginip, entering a drag race, getting married, building a cage for your raccoon But now, with all theae essentials out of the way, let us pauee and join hands and taka, for tha first tune, a bag, leisurely look at our meupe*. ' y-dy' ur„„i / ML begin our tour over here on thia lovely stretch of green* gward called The Mail. The Mall, a« w« all know, was named ia honor of our distinguished alumnus Fred Mall, inventor of the oppoeing thumb. Before Mr MalTe invention, the thumb could aot he prcaaed or clicked against the other fingers. As a result, millions of castanet makers were out of work Today however, thanks to Mr Mall, one out of every three Americans is gain fully employed making castanets (The other two make crnquM wickets ) Mr Mall is now 106 years old and living in seclusion on a sea cliff in Wellington, Kansas, but the old gentleman ia far from idle. He still works twelve hours a day in hia labora tory, and in the last year has invented the tuna, tha ouLoia, and lint. 1 ... ik olj mlfm? is (?r (m idle. But l digress. I>rt ns resume our tour. At the end of The Mall we siv a handsome edifice called Tlie Library Here lidoks are kept By "kept” I mean "kept." There is no way in the world for you ti> get a Usik out of the library . . . No, I’ui wrong If you have s stack permit you can take out a book, but stack permits are issued only to widows of Preeidefits of the United States (That lady you see *oming out of the library with a copy of (ivl of the Limhrrloat a* Mrs Millard lillmnre.) Next to The Library we see the Administration Building. Here one finds the president of the university, the deans, and the registrar According to ancient aitaleime usage, the president i.- always called "I’rexy.” Similarly, the deans are called “ Ihxie” and the rcgv-tmr i- called "Roxy." Profossors are called "Progy” and houHemothera are called "lloxy-Moxy.'’ Students are calh'd "Algae ” Diagonally across The Mall ua see the Students Union. It ia a gay ITtad ptare frankly dedimted to the fun and relaxation of we undergraduates. Here we undergraduate* may enjoy ourselves in one of two ways—with liter or without We under graduates who prefer filters, prefer Marlboro, of course. Oh, what a piece of work is Marlls>ro' The filter filters, the taste ia smooth but not skimpy, mild but not meagre. We undergraduate* who prefer non-friters, prefer Philip Mfttfn*, of (xirrw. It 1* a natural smoke, a dean smoke, a flavor- fill, zestful, pure and peaeeful smoke . . . Now hear tin*: I'hilip Morris and Marlboro each come in a choice of two |n»ck«— crushproof Flip-Top Box or the familiar Sift Pack. So now, as the setting sun caste a fierv aum over tlie spin-s ami battlement* of our lielovwl campus, let u* hie ourselvw to our tobaomnist’* and lay in a night's supply of MaHboro or Philip Moms, and then let us, lowing, wind slowly o er the leu to our domutone* and sit u|*»n our army surplus cots, spent but content, and smoke and dre«m and hark the curfew toll the knell of parting day.
