THE BATTALION
Page 2 College Station, Texas Thursday, March 22, 1962
This weekend will be one of the most “occupied” free
weekends in the history of the school. Under the heading of
“Free Weekend” come the following required events: all
graduating seniors will take Graduate Record Examinations
from 8:30 a. m. until 5 p. m. Two sections of junior military
science students will have a night tactics problem Friday
night and a day tactics problem Saturday morning. After
these events, all junior military science students get summer
camp shots at the hospital.
★ ★ ★
Many of the sophomore military science students will
be taking physicals for advanced contracts Saturday morn
ing—and for some reason, a sizable number of freshman
weekend passes have been cancelled, just to keep the general
trend in operation.
★ ★ ★
One sophomore in the 1st Brigade signed up for guard
duty this weekend to get out of drill. Three hours later, he
sadly viewed the posting of the weekend order—“Free Week
end.” He promptly pawned his obligation off on a sophomore
buddy who hadn’t seen the weekend order.
★ ★ ★
Another sophomore, (1st Brigade, also) was surprised
when a delegation of juniors crowded into his room demand
ing an explanation of the official-looking sign on his door.
The sign read, “First Corporal.” Its origin was soon traced
to his sophomore buddies.
★ ★ ★
A large poster advertising Carlos Montoya’s perform
ances tonight and tomorrow, set up in the Chemistry Build
ing, says: “Appearing In Quion Hall.” The poster, printed in
New York, proves Yankees can’t spell.
★ ★ ★
Ad in yesterday’s Battalion for one of the local drive-in
theatres: “Inn of the Sixth Happiness” with Polly Bergman
plus “Let’s Make Love” with Marilyn Monroe plus “How To
Stuff A Woodpecker.”
★ ★ ★
The bugler in the 2nd Brigade area has a problem.' Every
time he starts blowing “To The Colors,” he is attacked by
a gargantuan bulldog. Needless to say, the traditional bugle
call has been slightly off-key, lately. (The bugle also has
several new dents in it.)
★ ★ ★
And a recent visitor on the campus during High School
day became rather skeptical of going to A&M after noting
deplorable conditions of local pool halls.
★ ★ ★
Written on an extremely appropriate wall in one of the
dorms at about eye level: “Smile, Aggie, you are on Candid
Camera.”
★ ★ ★
A certain Aggie Wife got quite a shock one night this
week when the door at the Triangle Restaurant believed to be
an exit, led to the Men’s Room. A hasty exit followed!

From the just out issue of the A&M Engineer:
Chemical Analysis of Women
ATOMIC WEIGHT: Reputed to be 120. Isotopes are
known through 90 to 180.
OCCURRENCE: Found both free and combined. In com
bined state it is found with man.
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES: All colors, sizes and shapes.
Seldom found in pure state. Boils at nothing and will freeze
without reason. Surface is usually covered with film of paint
or oxide in various colors and depths. Unpolished specimen
turns green in presence of highly polished one. All varieties
melt if used correctly. Density is not so great as generally
supposed/
CHEMICAL PROPERTIES: Highly explosive and dan
gerous in inexperienced hands. Extremely active in the
presence of men. Possesses great affinity for gold, sliver,
platinum and all precious stones. Has the ability to absorb
great quantities of expensive food and drink. May explode
Spontaneously when left alone with man. Sometimes yields
to pressure. Fresh variety has great magnetic attraction,
but ages rapidly.
USE: Chiefly experimental. Efficient cleaning agent.
Acts at a positive or negative catalyst in the production of
fevers.
UNSOLVED PROBLEM: The thing that mystifies many
engineers is that the most streamlined specimens offer the
most resistance.

Minds are different, too. You can’t ink them and
roll them and press them on hard-finished white,
paper. But you can test them, mold them, nurture
them, shape them, stretch them, excite them.
And challenge them. At Cal Tech’s Jet Propulsion
Laboratory, that’s all we do. The products of these
minds are spacecraft and instruments that will explore
the Moon and planets and communication systems to
probe outer space.
It’s a big responsibility. And it requires the finest young
scientific and engineering minds this country has to
offer. Many, many minds that work as one. Minds such
as yours, perhaps. Won’t you come in and talk to us? If
you have a mind to? <
