.4 Winning Weekend
Itopite an unfortunate final score on Kyle Field Sat
urday the weekend juat imxt waa a winninK one for the 12th
Man And winning what they do beat.
% Yell practice was head and shoulders above the one
prior to the Missouri game two weeks ago. Only the seniors
who were plying themselves with "spirit” from a flask marred
the otherwise moderate evening of fun and inspiration. And,,
in the case of those living under the new Articles of the
Cadet Corps, it would seem that drunkness in public would
aad should be easy to curb- the penalty of military panel
notwithstanding.
Half-time was indeed a rare display of precision march
ing and Reveille’s part in the show was an attracion to the
band's performance—certainly an improvement on halftimes
of yesteryear Most of the credit for curtailing Rev’s si»frial
show and the onuuing display of vulgarism goes to Bill Myers
and his Student Senate Issues Committee. But it would not
have been successful withopt the support of all Aggies who
cared what kind of an impression they made on visitors.
The conversion of l)orm^ into a women’s dormitory for
the weekend is another areaftivhere Texas Aggies displayed
the calibre of men they ar«A-in face of a situation which
might have turned into a real smudge on the school's name.
There were only a few isolated infractions of the established
rules governing dates staying in the dorm.
And everyone concerned was more than pleased—sur-
prised even that such an event t<*ok place with so much co
operation. Again, much of the credit goes to the men in
the ranks for their constant awareness that the eyes of Tex
as were truly upon A&M.
lastly, but certainly not least, the conduct of the men
of Aggieland during the entire weekend was beyond reproach.
There was not one single incident of violence reported over
the weekend—g record that can lie boasted of for years to
come.
Yes, every one was proud—and rightly so—when the last
of the visitors had left and the routine of school began once
more.
For this weekend was proof positive that there’s more
to winning a weekend than just winning Lhe game May-
tie next time A&M can do both ... '

Letters To The Editor
Editor.
The Battalion:
I want to compliment you on
your editorial Friday However,
there is one plate where we A|f-
gses do not act as gentlemen.
Making noise when the opposite
team is railing signals is not
sportsmanlike I was ashamed
to see TCU cheerleaders, quiet
their “rooting" section when we
called signal* while our cheei-
leadefs enroui aged us to yell
when they were calling signals.
A cheerleader’s job ia not only to
lead fhe cheers but also to signal
us when to keep quiet.
F»iute people tell me that this
exhibition is an Agg ie tradition.
l ets not tarnish the spirit of
Aggieland with auch a juvenile

Once again it is lime to take
a look at what is in store at the
local mevie houses for the com
ing week.
The outlook is not as bright as
it has been rather consistently
since school opened but things
start improving W ednesday when
“Damn Yankees’’ arrives at the
Palace. This big-screen version
of the smash Broadway musical
stars Tab Hunter, (iwen Verdun,
and Ray Walston. All but one
of the sixteen principals in the
film were members of the orig
inal Broadway cast! Tab is the
only one of the bunch who was
not in the New York production.

Your reporter finally made it

found an i|teresting screen trans
lation of Tenneaee Williams'

“Cat” on the legitimate stage are
aware that it deal* with a sub
ject which is off lipiita so far as
Hollywood is concerned It is ex
tremely interesting to observe
how much of the powerful mes

learned his lesson concerning
“boats and women."
Chuck is really a boat enthus

Texas lakes, in s new 14-ft. out
hoard sporting s 2ftt) lb. rebuilt
racing motor. Chuck was mind
ing his own business and enjoying
the boating when several girls in
another outltoard started flirting
with him (this is sn old story.
( huck says). He derided ty give
them a run for their money. Only
this time he came mighty close to
colliding with them and had to do
a sharp turn to avoid such. He
flipped the new boat, complete
with 260 lb. motor, and came very
near to ending up ’beheaded”
Chuck says he “hung on to
that motor, someway or nother,
and lost interest real quick in
those gals ” And so it was thot
( hack saw the light where "fUr-
tucious" girls ran be a hazard.
Chuck graduate*) froiti Tyler

member of the National Honor
Society.
Chuck started his career at Ag

THE DRESS PARADE
In all my years of observing coed fashions—and I have lieen
arrested many times -I have never seen such verve, such dash,
such Jr nr sou quai as can lie found in this year’s styles!
I an. partu-ularty enchanted by the new "baby waist' dresses
which so many of you girls sir favoring this season How
demure you all look in your “baby waists' ! How sweet! How
innocent! How colorful when your housemother lifta you up
and burps you g/ter dinner!
I
Another trend that leaves me limp with rapture is the over-
sised handbag. Goodbye to dinky lilth- purses that Indd nothing
at ail! Hurrah for today's sensibly sized bag with plenty <4
room for your makeup, your pens and [lennls, your shelter
half, your Slinky toy, your MG, and your MaHImma.
Did I say Marlboro*? Certainly I said Marlls»ms. What girl
ran consider lierself in the van, in the swim, and in tl»e know,
if she doesn t smoke Marthon*-'’ What man, for that matter.
Do you want a filter that w truly new, genuinely advanced,
tnit at the same time, does not rob you of the full flasxir of
first-rate tobacco’ Then get Marlboro. Also get matches beeaUM
the (xleaeure you derive from a Marlboro is necessarily limited
if unlit.
To return to coed fashions, let us now discuss footwear. The
popular flat shoe was introduced several years ago wlxcn it
l>eeame obvious that girls were growing taller than boys. For
a while the flat shoes kept the sexes in a state of uneasy balance,
but t<*b»y they will no longer serve. Now. even in flats, girls
are towering over their dates, for the feminine growth rate has
continued to rise with disturbing speed, in fact, it itf now
thought possible that we will see fifteen-foot girts in our lifetime.
But science is working on the problem, and I feel sure
American know-how will find an answer Meanwhile, a tem
porary measure is available —the rewrae wedgio.
The reverse wedgie is simply a wedgie turned around. This
tilts a girt I tack ward at a 4j degree angle and cuts as much as
three feet tiff her height. It is, of course, tiii|ssu>ilile t»> walk in
tin* position unless you have support, so your date will have to
keep lus arm around your waist at ail times. This will tire hun
out in fairly sleirt order; therefore you must constantly give
him encouragement Keep looking up at him and liattinff your
lawhc* and ri[ieating in awed tones, ‘ ilow tlrong you an*,
Miorty!”

** ^coe,
Noirt we turn to hair styling The hair-do this year is definitely
the cloche-corf. One eeee very few crew cuts or Irene Castle
bob*, and the new Mohican cut seems not to have caught on
at all In fact, I saw only one girt with a Mohican — Rhodelle
H Sigafoo*. s sophomore of Bennington Her classmates laughed
and laughed at her, hut it was Khodeile who had the last laugh,
for one night a dark, handsome stranger leaped from behind a
hireh and linked his arm in Rhodelle s and aaKi, “I am Uncas,
tiie last of the Mohicans—but I need not be the last, dear lady,
if you will but be my wife.” Today they are happily married
and run a candied-apple stand near Macon, Ga., and have three
iitUe Mohican* limned PatU, Maxine, and Laveme.
