Walter Williams Thursday Student Chapter of the Amer ican Veterinary Medicine Assn. Auxiliary will meet tonight in the South Solarium of the YMCA. The junior class will be hostess. We Agglea like to read about Wee Ag gies. When a wee one arrives, call VI B-4910 and ask for the Wee Aggie Edi tor Culture Is Here Although most people will debate it, the A&M campus is filled with opportunities for Aggies to better their cultural outlook on life. Town Hall, which begins Monday night with a top popular music show, is only one of the many institutions here on the campus that aids the cultural growth of A&M students. Town Hall will also present other programs throughout the school year to satisfy the entertainment and cultural hunger of most students and faculty members. Anyone who fails to take advantage of the opportunity to see national and international celebrities on the stage in person is only cheating himself. Such an experience is both educational and informative. The small amount of time taken from studies to attend such entertainment will be a valuable addition to the cultural growth of the student. Although Town Hall is a big source of the entertainment on this campus, there are still many other segments which provide the student a means of cultural growth and develop ment. Look around you. Naming a few, there is the Student Conference on Na tional Affairs, the Great Issues, the Recital Series, the Fine Arts Festival, Religious Emphasis Week and the various art exhibits in the Memorial Student Center. Sources of cultural are here and it is the wise person who takes advantage of them while he can. It is the?;e sources of culture that are changing A&M and making it more than a “farmer-boy” school. And with student interest, and only with student in terest, culture will become a principal part of A&M society, benefitting the growth and development of the student as well as the growth and development of A&M. b *: mm.

Letters To The Editor The Battalion welcomes letters to the editor hut reserves the right to edit letters for brevity, clearness and accuracy. Short letters stand a better chance for publication since space is at a premium. Unsigned letters will not be published... Editor, The Battalion: We are three of the so-called uncaged animals you referred to in your recent editorial. You say that the Corps of Ca dets is failing to develop true leaders and gentlemen. First, we would like to know,‘are you in the Corps ? Do you realize that those men, the uncaged ani mals of ’39, have contributed more to this school than you could ever hope to? The Corps has not failed to produce leaders, it has failed to produce anyone who is able to write an objective editorial! If everyone was outraged at the conduct at yell practice, why didn’t more people leave ? Why didn’t you leave ? If a person overlook someone who gets slightly carried away in their en thusiasm for A&M, then we don’t think they care much about our school. You only look at the two or three off-colored words that were used, not at the true spirit that was behind them. If you are ashamed of our products and student body, then leave. We don’t want anyone who does not feel that our stand ards are up to their’s. Two of us had dates there and they were not shocked so much that they wanted to leave. Our dates were as nice a couple of girls as you could find. They, even though they weren’t Aggies, appreciated the spirit behind them. We think that we need more spirit like that, off-colored words and all. Joe P. Brown, ’60 Pete Scamardo, ’60 Pat Loveland, ’60 Editor, The Battalion: Friday night’s Yell Practice raised more spirit, made more friends, impressed more dates and created more good will than any other event of the year. It is typical of the The Bat talion to feature a boy scout master type of editorial follow ing an event like this. If you don’t like it, stay at home. Seven thousand happy Aggies will not miss you.

A player may lift a ball from a hippoptamus footprint without taking penalty. Cut Class When all else fails, you can always cut class to lower your grades, and in many cases, this is the fastest way to flunk out. Al though this method is not as sporting as previous methods mentioned, it is the surest. In the history of the college, no one has ever have trouble flunking if he consistently cuts class. It’s always fun if you think up a weak excuse to give your instructor, but start thinking now, because you won’t have much more time as a student.
