Page 2 THE BATTALION College Station, Texas Tuesday, October 17, 1901 CADET SLOUCH by Jim Earle BATTALION EDITORIALS Tributes One thing that can be said for A&M men. They remain loyal to their school and to their fellow Aggies. When the A&.M man receives his diploma he doesn’t cease taking an active part in his school. In fact, in many cases his support of the college and his participation in pro grams designed to “preach” Texas A&M to the world in crease. Evidence of this was seen in the dinner sponsored by the Dallas A&M Club in honor of Aggie-ex President Earl Rud der in Dallas Oct. 6. Over 500 A&M men and their guests showed up for the affair. Both Dallas newspapers covered the dinner with articles and one paper published an editorial. The result was a good word for Texas A&M in Dallas. And in Beaumont the night before the Rudder dinner in Dallas, another A&M ex, now president of Gulf Oil Corp. E. Del Brockett, ’34, w’as honored with a dinner sponsored by the Beaumont A&M Club. Nearly 250 A&M men and their guests attended this tribute to a fellow Aggie. A scroll presented Brockett by the club read r “In Recognition of E. Del Brockett, President of the Gulf Oil Corp., native Texans and Fellow Aggie. “As an American—for being a vital exponent of the American way of life and for his unflagging leadership ip the fight to retain its freedom. “As a Texan—for his loyalty to his state, his judicious development of its resources and the reinvestment of these resources in business, industry and service, providing security for thousands. “As an Aggie—for his courage and vision, for his loyalty and deep devotion for our college and for his fighting Aggie spirit to succeed for himself and his Alma Mater, Texas A&M ‘-College.” These tributes more than honor the man and the school. ■ They show the people of Texas the kind of person Texas A&M turns out year after year. Sound Off- “ . . . Didn’t we beat Tech and didn’t Tech beat TCU? Why shouldn’t we start thinking about the ‘Cotton Bowl?’ ” Job Calls Editor, The Battalion: For some things, five to eight minutes is not long, but why should it take that long for a civilian student to get a seat in Sbisa Dining Hall? It seems that every effort has been made to have maximum ef ficiency when students go to eat, and yet one can’t help noticing that^ a far greater number of Corps cadets are seated in less time ^than is the case with the civilian students. This might be understandable if the lag were caused by the three men who have to place a small mark in a certain place on close to a thousand meal cards (which is probably unavoidable) but these men often have to stop what they’re doing while the stu dents who have already passed through are seated. Instead of “gutting it out’’ three tables at a time down one side of the dining hall and three at a time up the other side, why not try something like seating the men on both sides of the hall at the same time? If this is impractical try something else. Some people would like to see an extension of 10 or 15 minutes given to the time that they can get through the doors. Besides giving them more time to eat, this would relieve the crowded condition at the door. small problem to those who are not directly involved, I hope that someone will give some consider ation for this is a situation that could definitely stand some im provement.

Though it may seem like Guest Editorial The Kennedys used the American Shakespeare Festival Company from Stratford, Conn., to perform excerpts from “Macbeth” in the East Room following- a dinner for President Abboud of the Sudan, who is as fluent in English as any Oxonian. “Macbeth,” under a crystal chandelier, before ma roon draperies and sumptuously costumed, must have played much as it did before King James I in 1606. r v. There,is also the pleasant feeling that the Kennedys are Lhe kind of people who think “Macbbth” is lively portprandial entertainment. It is a mistake, though, to assume that the ’performing arts made their White House debut with “Mac beth.” ; i . During the administration of President William Howard Taft, Shakespeare was given on the south lawn. The number of concerts or 1-man shows that have taken place in the East Room since Jefferson’s time probably never have been counted yet and should make an attractive project for a doctorial thesis. Many presidents, notably Theodore Roosevelt, Taft, Wood- row Wilson and—Harry Truman, went to the theater fre quently and avoided the grand gesture of full-dress theatricals in the East Room. There was some of this, though, in the Lincoln years with Washington itself an armed camp and the president kept out of public circulation. Lincoln had wide tastes, some inclining to the Barnumesque. The theater, too, lured him and he did attend once too often. —Dallas Morning News THE BATTALiON Opinions expressed in The Battalion are those of the stu dent writers only.
