CADET SLOUCH
Fisli Antics Again
Create Amusement
by Jim Earle
' •; tS|
As is always the case this time
of year, the newness of the cam
pus and campus life has caused
some very amusing incidents con
cerning the freshmen.
This year’s freshman class,
like their predecessors, has been
noted wandering around the
dorms .and the campus with a
dazed, panic-stricken expression
on its face.
One 2nd Brigade freshman was
in a near frenzy Wednesday night
when he coudn’t figure out why
he had to make out a pass for
weekend leave to go to church
Sunday.
• • •
In the same brigade, there was
the freshman who casually saun
tered up to a senior and calmly
asked, “Got a match?”
• • •
Then there was the freshman
who was walking across the cam
pus without a cap on. An upper
classman asked him if he had a
hat. To this the startled fish
SCUBA Class

answered, “Yes, sir. My Stet
son’s back in my room.”
Oh, well, maybe a Stetson was
the only hat he knew until he
came to Aggieland.
• • •
One member of the Class of
’63, with a severe case of Aggie-
itis, arrived with senior boots in
hand and wanted to know if he
could wear them to the Orienta
tion Week meetings.
• • •
Tuesday when the first Bat
talion’s were delivered to the
dorms, a fish was instructed to
put one copy under each door.
An upperclassmen went to take
a shower. Sure enough, each
shower room was supplied with
two copies of The Battalion.
• • •
A recent call to the Dorm 2
Guardroom got this response
from the freshman private of the
guard. “Hello, Dorm Room 2
Guard, Guard Smith Private,
speaking, sir.” It was all there,
but in somewhat confused form.
• • •
When the table seating ar
rangements were made for the
various outfits, one fish tapped
on a senior’s shoulder and very
distressedly said, “Sir, you’ve got
my seat.”
So go things this early for the
Class of ’63.

the lower bunk would be more convenient for you!”

WASHINGTON — </P) _ Nikita
Khrushchev — after one of the
most amazing performances in
history—is nearing the end of his
American expedition. But what
kind of a man has he shown him
self to be ?
He’s many things — some of
which may prove good, some not
—but above all he’s a man of con-
traditions. Yet, he is the man
with whom President Eisenhower
must sit down with this weekend
in a search for peace for the
world.
He talks disarmament but, while
he invites us to the moon, he
won’t let inspectors inside the
Soviet Union to make disarma
ment possible. He says “I am not
afraid of the devil” but there’s no
sign he ever dared oppose mass-
murder Stalin.
He’s an atheist who talks con
stantly of a deity, offes to swear
on the Bible, cites the Command
ment against killing, says the Sov
iets are “brothers before Christ”
and for good measure throws in:
“God is on our side.”
He’s a braggart but he is also
an optimist and this more than
anything else in his charter—a
belief going back to young man
hood that the world can be made
wonderful—may hold out the best
hope of dealing with him reason
ably.
He’s as unpredictable as a char
acter out of Dostoievsky and his
gigantic display of energy is al
most like a deliberate effort' to
identify himself as one of these
“men of might,” the great folk
heroes in his nation’s early epic
songs.
He’s intelligent, he’s shrewd, but
he’s neither an intellectual nor a
Marxian theorist. He is a rock-
ribbed Communist, but he is also
a pragmatist. This part of his
nature also may hold hope for the
future.
Since he is for a practical way
of doing things — and trying to
do them bettei'—he may, deliber
ately or not, divert communism a
little more to the right and make
doing business with him a little
more possible.
He is one of the most powerful
men in the world, as everyone
knows, but he is forever trying to
remincl the world of it. He does
n’t need publicity but he never
stops seeking it.
He’s a premier but he is also
as much of a showman as a bark
er at a circus. He says the United
States “wants to obtain world
domination” but he also says the
United States doesn’t want to
change the social order in the
Soviet Union.
