‘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!” ....

‘Look at that guy! 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.
