Page 2 THE BATTALION College Station, Texas Tuesday, May 17, 1960 CADET SLOUCH Around the SWC By Alan Payne Texas Christian University TCU has replaced its customary six band majorettes with four featured twirlers. This change came about after a good bit of consideration and after question naires to other colleges revealed that a definite trend has de veloped toward featured twirlers. This questionnaire revealed that SMU, Texas Tech, Texas University, Purdue and several other colleges have replaced majorettes with featured twirlers. * * * Also, an article in the TCU Skiff concerning care of grass on the campus said: “Grasses on campus receive consideration as to how much they will be walked upon, whether they will be in the shade or open to the sun and how much water they will receive.” Baylor University The Baylor Women’s Depart ment of Physical Education re cently sponsored its seventh annual Baylor Olympics for coeds from five colleges and universi ties. Awards were presented to both the outstanding team and indi vidual in the competition. ❖ ^ Jfc And Baylor’s Lariat also con ducted a poll of both boys and girls concerning their respective pet peeves about conduct while on dates. Some of these peeves went as follows: “When a girl dates a boy quite a bit, it’s nice when he takes her some place other than the library.” “There are many ways that a boy can sit and look good, but sitting with his legs crossed at the knees is not one of them. «gffl CUT TRAVEL COSTS mmmmsmm Sheraton Hotels STUDENT-FACULTY DISCOUNTS Here’s money-saving news for students, faculty and all other college personnel.

No boy likes to think a girl is doing him a favor by going with him,” Texas University A University professor, in dis cussing a textbook used in his course recently, said: “Of course, there are many textbooks written on the subject, but there is only one reason why we’re using MINE.

Aggieland means many different things to many different people. To some it is the place they met their lifetime friends and received their formal education, to others it is the place they learned how to be a man and to get along with their fellow man. Although Aggieland may have a special meaning for each Aggie, all have memories of yelling for that Fightin’ Aggie Team as we beat T. U. or of singing The Twelfth Man when we didn’t yell loud enough. Army, when we go home after these finals let’s throw our chests out and tell the world that we are proud to be a Fightin’ Texas Aggie. Let’s keep alive the heritage left to us by our buddies we’ve honored with Silver Taps who are no longer able to share it with us. Ole Army Lou ’32 BOOKS FOR SALE! As a college student you probably have never run a paid advertisement headed “BOOKS FOR SALE”. Yet you have doubtless sold books to your roommate, the fellow across the hall or to some other Aggie. If every other avenue becomes blocked—if there is no room in your personal library—if you detest a book— or if—for any other reason—you want to sell a book, why don’t you walk into The BOOK DEPARTMENT of THE EXCHANGE STORE and SHOUT “BOOKS FOR SALE!” You will immediately get the attention of DAVID, HATTIE, JOAN or MELBA. Who ever hears your cry will offer you “FAIR MARKET VALUE” for your un wanted books.

SHAFFER’S 18 k • ] iilJSSp with teShukan {Author of “1 Was a Teen-age Divarf”,“The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis”, etc.) TILL WE MEET AGAIN Today I conclude my sixth year of writing columns for the makers of Marlboro and Philip Morris cigarettes. It has been my custom during these six years to make no attempt to be funny in this final column. (I have achieved this objective many times during the year also, but never on purpose.) The reasons for the lack of levity in this final column are two: first, you are preparing for final exams and, short of holding you down and tickling you, there is no way in the world to make you laugh at this time; and, second, for many of us this is a leave- taking, and leave-takings, I think, ought not be flippant. If I have brought you a moment or two of cheer during the past year, I am rewarded. If I have persuaded you to try Marlboro or Philip Morris cigarettes, you are rewarded. Let me pause here to express my heartfelt gratitude to the makers of Marlboro and Philip Morris. They have given me complete freedom in the writing of these columns. There has not been the slightest hint of censorship. They have never changed so much as one comma in my copy. I wish to take this occasion to state publicly that I aha forever grateful to these enlightened tobacconists and I hereby serve notice that if they find it in their corporate heart to engage me for another year of columning, I shall require a substantial increase in salary. The money is not what matters—not as money, that is, but only as a token. I want to be assured that they love me as much as I love Marlboro and Philip Morris. And what, indeed, is not to love? Marlboro is a cigarette which proves beyond cavil that flavor did not go out when filters came in. Philip Morris is a cigarette that is pure mildness from lip-end to tip- end. Both of these estimable smokes come in soft-pack or flip-top box. Neither is ever sold in bulk.. ykmwWMfr, <!e$ The summer lies ahead. For underclassmen summer will be a hiatus, a breather in which to restore yourselves for next year’s resumption of busy college life. For seniors there will be no more college. You must not, however, despair and abandon yourself to idleness. There are other things to do in the world besides going to school—basket weaving, for example, or build ing boats in bottles, or picking up tinfoil, or reading “War and Peace.” Many graduates fall into the erroneous belief that their lives are over when they leave college. This is not so. It is possible to make some sort of life for yourself with a bit of ingenuity ... or, if that fails, dye your hair, change your name, and enroll at some other college. Whatever the future holds for you, be assured that the makers of Marlboro and Philip Morris join me in wishing you the best of everything. We have taken great pleasure—the makers and I—in bringing you this column each week throughout the school year. We hope a little pleasure has accrued to you too. May good fortune attend your ventures. Stay happy. Stay healthy. Stay loose. 0 1080 Max Shulman * * * We, the makers of Marlboro and Philip Morris, can only echo kindly old Max’s parting words. Stay happy. Stay healthy. Stay loose. PEANUTS By Charles M.
