Page 2 THE BATTALION College Station, Texas Thursday November 30, 1961 CADET SLOUCH by Jim Earle Pass In Review Three-to-a-room conditions in some of the civilian dormi tories have sent a good number of Aggies scurrying to bache lor apartments and rented houses in Bryan and College Sta tion. Result has been a lot of burned spuds and hard biscuits as the batchel-Ags take to the kitchen—for some, the first time in their lives. Some warriors gave up after one try and are existing on hamburgers and sardines now. Others, like two of our ac quaintances who managed to get a nice little house less than seven miles from the campus, are determined to succeed in the culinary art. These two decided to cook a roast. So they bought one and took it home. Then they found out that neither knew how to cook the thing. And there wasn’t a cookbook in the house. * So where would they get information on how to cook a roast? Why, dial “Information” on the phone. So they did. And it worked. It took some time, but between the two and the telephone company, they got the roast cooked. & *;•.. /// \Y, :v£ , p . ^ */> i* mm no .

Post-Intellj- gencer Monday.

From a transplanted Texan.” Dear Jim: First, warm congratulations on winning a big one. Some of us Monday Morning QBs think the coaching job you and your fine staff did this year was every bit as brilliant at the two Rose Bowl wins. But the subject we want to bring up, coach, is Texas A&M, and all those under-the-table of fers they are making.

That isn’t your kind of a college, coach. Jim Owens deals ’em out in the open, with the cards on the table. What have those fellows got to offer except money ? Your charming wife, Martha, your coaching assistants, your players, close friends and ad mirers don’t want you to fall for this kind of a deal. You’re sitting on top of the world at Washing ton. Man, you’re taller than the Space Needle. A wise old coach Earned Babe Hollingbery was telling me Saturday that a man is crazy to take a job with the Texas Aggies. Look what has happened to the last few coaches they have hired and fired. Texas Aggies play second fid dle to Texas U, and they always will. Just let the new coach— any new coach—get belted a couple of years in succession by Darrell Royal’s well-heeled Long horns and the fair-weather Aggie alumni with those silly ten-gallon hats will desert the ship like rats. Jim, I know of a way to end all this furore, right quick, in a 10-word telegram to College Station, wherever that is. (Or do they have a Western Union office there ?) Just send it like this— “Dear Texas Aggies. I ain’t coming. Thanks and best re gards. Jim.” P.S. — A hundred - thousand Owens boosters will chip in and pay for the wire. Your Old Neighbor, R.B.
