Orientation week (which has
already been explored, explained;
an<l disgusted in an earlier col
umn! apparently left one thing
unsaid: uniforms
1 mean, someone should tell the
freshmen that the men in high-
top boots aren't really kk s in
dress uniform.

Wednesday was a special day
in the lives of Air Kane seniors.
This was the day they chose be
tween 5 and V. Years and cate
gories.
One of the fellows came up
with an unusual reason for turn
ing down the air age training lie
admitted he liked the AK. Idted
an planes.and really loved to fly
"W hy aren't you signing up
forever then?" asked the man in
blue.
“iiir," he said. "I like to fly
but it just makes my arms too
tired."
Something new has added
to casual campus wear this year
The recent cool spell brought out
of mothballs the new look i|t
jackets for freshmen bha.le 51
sack coats W ith drawstrings for
decoration even.

01' Pinky |’06l Downs has
been getting a flood of mail thesg
days Seems someone has been
spreading the word he’s the new
dean of women and applicants'
lettersf are pouring in. Pinky
says someone's tagged him for
the w rong joh ... he just can t
keep up with Aggies and g.rls,
too.
* * *
Actually, the new casual ap
proach to "whipping out" is re
ally something to observe Like
the othei day, a fish eased up t>e
side me as I was enroute to a
ott-minute knewledge session, nar
rowed his eyes, looked furtively
over his shoulder and said in a
small voice, "Say, wanta ex
change ID cards?"

Like the freshman overheard
while meeting a man in the Aca
demic Building'-hall between his
classes
' Man. 1 know your name I
juat can't remember your face ”

By Jack league
As Dan (Smoky| Hyde and 1
mulled together m the health bar
over a big glass of orange juice,
he poured out the story of his
life to me.
Smoky first opened his eyes to
the big, wide word some 21 yeais
ago in Abilene Several months
Liter, when he reached the age
when most babies begin to speak
such loving words as "mommy”
and ‘‘daddy*’, Smoky utleied his
first words- "I’ncle Jimmy."
(Some rich uncle, no doubt.)
Smoky has lived in many parts
of the stale, including Tyler,
McKinney, Sherman ami VSichita
Fails, where he went to high
school He distinguished himself
in high school where he was No.
1 clarinetist in the school band,
on the graduate honor roll, and
widely known for his famous par
ties.
As head yell leader. Smoky is
pei haps the most spirited Aggie
ever to hit the campus. And he
claims this is the greatest exper
ience he has ever felt, the Spirit
of Aggieland
"It just get* in your blood and
stays with vow," he says.
Besides being head yell leader,
Smoky is also in the B. A. Socie
ty, Ross Volunteers, It col on the
Corps Staff and a tentative Dis
tmguished Military Student.
A major in business admmis
tration, Smoky plans to go to
law school at the University of
Texas upon graduation from A A
M. then going into the service
for a "nominal" time, and finally
practicing law in Texas
For the past six years, Smoke
has worked during the summeis
for a chain department store of
w hich hi* dad is district supervis
or This past summer he altered
his plan* for a while to join the
rest of ihe troops for R()T<‘
training at Ft Sill, Oklahoma.
Hi* only commabt—“interesting "
Having done some travelling to
Tennessee, Colorado, Mexico and
Louisiana, Hyde still remembeis
that he did his best “travelling"
tn New Orleans for five days dur
mg tjie RV trip to the Mardi
(Irks Last February "This,” hr
says,, “was a real hall!"
A studious individual, Smoke
says the thing he enjoyed most
was visiting the “museums and
othei qugint places "
Smoke jr began his freshman
year at Aggieland in A Field Ar
tillery, He began hi* junior year
a* 1st Sgt. of FA, was then made
Sgt. Major of the FA battalion
and then became Corps Operation
Sgt. He is now- Corps liaison of
ficer.'
Smokey i* a man with only one
d.*like- bad It*.king women. He
volunteered this, too. Of h s many
like*, he feel* that one outstands
all the others \ ep, you guessed
it—good looking women.
v Uy HENRY LYLE
“Tfis is the worst Town Hall
program I’ve seen in three long
years at this place,'' said Leather-
legs Jones '59. as he sat in the
Mil savoring his fifth cup of
coffee Monday morning. “Back
when 1 was an underclassman,
we really had some good shows.
Remember when they used to
bring down big stars like June
('bristy. Stan Kenton, F.dia Gor-
me, and Law rente Welk? And
V'hat do wo have this year" A
i ouple of those orchestras that
play classical music, a dancing
show and two other things that
are just as I ad. Five lousy
events! I can remember when we
had seven and eight events a year
and all of them pretty good, too ”
Gulping down his last swallow
of coffee before heading for class,
he solemnly concludes^ “There’s
no doubt about it; this years
Town Hall is aimed at a minority
group "

After overheating these point
ed remarks, your reporter could
not help but reflect upon
tiuth of many of Leathei leg's
statements. But it is also true
that he and others of his ciass
have certain misconceptions re
garding the natlue of Town Hall
This season Town Hall presents
only five events. The reason for I,
this is not entirely a reduction I
in the Town Hall budge* The
primary reason is the higher cost
per-*how in presenting produc
tions of really high caliLse For j
example, the cost of presenting
only TWO of this season s shows, ^
The Boston Pops and “Li’l Ab- .
ner," would buy 5 or 6 shows of
inferior value
* * *
As for those .and there are j
many i who object to the classical j
items on this year's program, it j
should l>e pointed out tiiat. sur
prisingly, there are many who j
objec* to th.- progian. bccau e :t I
is too light C. G. (Spike) White
of the office of Student Activities !
observed (bat Town Hall must
foiiipronuaa to provide a aai te* of
productions which are “enterta n-
ing. cultural, and «ducalivital ’
* * *
There can be no doubt that the
five Town Hall event* for ‘58-
’59 are the result of a compro
mise and are certainly a wall-bal
anced offering.
Town Hall’s first production is
the Dance Jubilee of Barribi Lynn
and Rt>d Alexander scheduled for
Novcmhat 12. Those who are in
terested may catch a preview of
Rial and Bamhi on the F.d Sulli
van -how this Sunday night.

t It couldn't happen anywhere
else. But our loss is their ga:n.
Or something like that.
Some outdoor cooks like to give
lobster tails a quick dunk in boil
ing salted water before removing
the meat from the shells and
skewering for grilling over char
coal. A sauce of melted butter,
lemon juice and nushed garlic
makes a fine sauce with which to
