Journalism Which Succeeds Best —and Best Deserves Success— Fears God and Honors Man; Is Stoutly Independent, Unmoved by Pride of Opinion or Creed of Potver . . . Waller Williams ‘Get an Aggie ? With the approaching Christmas vacation to be followed shortly by the between semesters break, the Men of Aggie- land have an opportunity to do a wonderful service to them selves and to Texas A&M. Now is the time to start trying to interest high school seniors into coming to Texas A&M for their college education. No one can do a better and more effective job of selling this school to high school seniors than men who are Aggies. Seeking high school seniors who are interested in com ing to Texas A&M and convincing them to come here is not Just of benefit to the school. A large and better student body will make Texas A&M a more highly thought of institution and will do much to enhance the value of the already famous Texas A&M degree. The best plan would be to have' the various hometown clubs organize a group to appear before high school seniors in their hometown and try to interest them in coming to Texas A&M. But individuals can do almost as much, if not more, good by taking it upon themselves to be an enthusiastic representative of Texas A&M when they go home for the holidays. (No one can force the Men of Aggieland to attempt to convince high school seniors that Texas A&M is the best college or university to pursue their higher education. No one should have to force them to do it, if they are proud of their school. If the Men of Aggieland will show the same spirit and determination that they have shown thus far this year and a Pply this spirit and determination to bringing new students to Texas A&M next fall, the enrollment will double the present 7,000. It will not be too hard for “Every Aggie to Get an Ag gie.” * ^ The benefits from such a plan will be good for the school, present Men of Aggieland, former students and the Men of Aggieland for years to come. It is definitely up to the Men of Aggieland to accomplish this goal and they have proved that they can meet the challenge. Remember, “Every Aggie Get an Aggie!” ....

He’s bogged in that mud up to his waist!” On Other Campuses By Alan Payne (Editor’s Note: This is the first of a new column being started to give Aggies an op portunity to find out what’s going on around the Southwest Conference. The writer of this column is Alan Payne, a fresh man journalism major from Sulphur Springs in Co. E-2.) The other schools around the Southwest Conference are con stantly engaged in practices that can’t help one from wondering what in the world is going on, anyway. The following are a few typical examples: Baylor Baylor has a senior from Italy who like United States schools but doesn’t like U. S. girls. Need- world f« wl0ttS to less to say, a few months down here should cure that “illness”— but good. He feels American girls are too masculine (wonder what he thinks about the boys.) SMU The SMU freshmen feel they are too confused with the big transition to college life from high school. They are having trouble adjusting to college so cial life without neglecting their studies. One student even com plains that she doesn’t have time to sleep, sororities take up so much of her time. To top all that off, they had their FIRST class meeting December 1 (remember how many you had during New Student Week?) Wouldn’t they have a big time adjusting to life down here. TU Meanwhile, the “tea-sips” had a “bonfire and pep rally.” It (the bonfire) wa.s every bit of 35 feet high and was attended by a whop ping total of 4,000 students, al most a fourth of the student body. Along with this “spirited” pep rally, they also gave prizes to the frat boys who had put up the best “Aggie Rally Signs.” Job Calls The following companies will conduct job interviews Tuesday in (he Placement Office on the second floor of the YMCA: Southwestern Investment Co. will interview agriculture eco nomics, business administration and economics degree candidates for jobs in finance management and insurance adjusting. Phillips Petroleum Co. will in terview business administration degree candidates for a nine- month sales trainee position to be followed by other positions with the company. | Aggies in Service Maj.
