THE BATTALION College Station, Texas Page 2 Thursday, October 26, 1961 Review We notice than many of the civilian students have be gun growing beards, with winter fast approaching. Maybe this explains why a certain student was counted present in a large business administration class'.he missed this last week. His seat was vacant, so several colleagues occupied it with a large dog that had opportunitely wondered into the lecture room. Scant seconds later, the professor conducted his daily search for empty seats; the absent student’s was accepted as being occupied, and he was counted present. ★ ★ ★ Speaking of dogs, everyone has expressed relief that Tripod is regaining his normally shaggy coat of hair back, after a shaving he received this summer. Back to the topic of beards, there is a rumor circulating about campus that all January graduates plan to refrain from shaving during the last month. Leaders of the movement report the ritual will be delayed until after graduation cere monies January 20. ★ ★ ★ From beards to bats, Harry Ohlendorf surprised some of his senior buddies in Dorm 15 by releasing a live one on them, last night. The creature was colored deep red, and had a,foot-long wing span. After warding off the “monster” with notebooks, towels and a slide rule, the trio was rescued by Ohlendorf, who donned a pair of thick gloves and caught the beast. The bat has since been transferred to the Wildlife Management Laboratory. ★ ★ ★ Two certain seniors looked the campus over at Tessie- land for their dates, last Friday night. The next day, still dateless, the pair went to the ball game and volunteered as duty officers for the entire game. Location of their dates has still not been determined.

The more date applications I send to TWU, tK’ better my chances are findin* a girl who can afford me!” —Sound Off— Editor’s note: The following letter appeared in the Oct. 17 edition of The Toreador, news paper of Texas Tech. Students and Faculty, Texas Technological College On the evening of October 7, at approximately 10:47 p.m., we made the worst mistake of our lives. Referring to the story in the previous edition of this pa per, we “TANGLED” with two students from Texas A&M Col lege. We know better that to fight with anyone, much less guests of the college. We realize this was wrong and we ask from the bottom of our hearts that you forgive us. We are lucky to be alive today and we each carry scars that will remain with us for the rest ^f our, li^es. The scars on our bodies are un important. It is the scars on the minds of you, our friends and fellow students, that hurt the most. Some of our friends have stood beside us and it has truly been a comfort. If they continue to do so, per haps it is because they realize it was a mistake and all of us are subject to making mistakes. We are not trying to justify our actions, but are only asking that you do not shun us or our friends. We can only say we are sorry and realize this does not elim inate the damage which is al ready done. We have thanked God for our lives and we have asked God to forgive us. Our religion teaches us that if we sincei’ely are sorry for our sins and ask the Lord for for giveness, he will forgive us for those sins. Now we ask that you forgive us. If God can for give us, can you? We hope so, from the bottom of our hearts. J. Sam Wright John G. Wright Editor, The Battalion: It is no wonder that today we face serious problems of mis understanding with our friends to the south. The interest taken toward them is practically nil. This couldn’t have been mani fested any clearer than by the attendance shown at the Pan American Club’s presentation of a sample session of the O.A.S. (Organization of American States). The members of the Pan American Club worked hard and presented an educational and very professional program. It is really a shame that out of 7,700 students only 20 or so showed up. Lest this handful of students representing Mexico, Central and South America lose all faith in us, we had better act with more concern and respect for them. J. H. Hinojosa, ’58 P.O.
