Page 2 THE BATTALION College Station, Texas Thursday, April 5, 1962 CADET SLOUCH Pass in Review by Jim Earle T ' { -■ Bulletin Board Tripod’s courses must be giving him some trouble; the three-legged mongrel was seen Sunday afternoon roaming about Cushing Memorial Library—looking as lost as anyone else. He finally setted down in the Reserved Reading Room on the second floor, to sleep, after unsuccessfully scanning the Reader’s Guides To Periodical Literature. Or something. Oh. well, sacking out is the only thing the library is good for, according to a sizable number of students here. At least, Tripod doesn’t snore I ★ ★ ★ Several Ag majors were contemplating a job posted on the bulletin boards of the agricultural departments this past week. The offer read, “Field man wanted—Estes Brothers.’’ This week, the future with Estes Brothers Enterprises changed from bad to worse, when Billie Sol Estes, financial genius of the company, was jailed by federal officials on conspiracy charges. ★ ★ ★ ? ] r -o " ' •| j. 1 v—r ji <D I a I i Reports of a good, Old Army deal fight in Sbisa Dining Hall occuring at noon yesterday came pouring into the “Batt Cave’’ last night. Story goes that a certain C.O. was beaned on the head by a deal from the civilian dining area—(but who knows?) At any rate, deals promptly started flying between corps and civilians, and when the officer on duty appeared to take the situation on hand, he too wds accomodated with a barrage of wadded rolls. Returning to his food*, he found it adequately “hot-sauced” and slightly inedible.

(The Battalion will publish, as space permits, letters from candidates, provided the letters are concise and neatly written. Letters must be in the Bat talion Office, Room 4, YMCA Building, by 7:30 p.m. Thursday.) Thomas Announces For Class Prexy Editor, The Battalion: The main purpose of this letter is to acquaint myself and my ideas to you and not promise change or reform. The office of senior class president is a re spected and responsible office, and I believe that you should choose a man whom you believe is capable of perforrping the duties of a class president. I have been in the corps for two years, and at ‘the present time am a civilian student. I was sophomore class president and have been in various aspects of student government. I believe that these qualifications indicate that I can do as good a job as you will expect of your class president. I also have the desire to hold this office and do my best. Although the civilian group contains many persons who have little interest in campus govern ment, there are many who have a real interest in our school. Be cause of this fact, I think the civilian student should be re garded as at least as much respect as the Corps member. Not more, but at least as much. Please consider what I have said and no matter who you choose, vote in the coming class elections.
