Will Holiday Safety Record
Be Cause For Rejoicing?
A long often difficult two solid months of classes ends
Wednesday with the first college holiday of the school term.
Even though a few may believe the holiday is for the tradi
tional University of Texas game, it is not. Students and
faculty members will be pausing to denote one of America’s
oldest and most cherished holidays—Thanksgiving.
A&M students undoubtedly have much to be thankful
for—the chance to obtain a higher education, if nothing else.
But we can also be thankful, and wary, that over two months
have passed since an Aggie lost his life in a traffic accident.
This record isn’t something to be particularly proud of—
no record that involves the loss of human life can be viewed
with anything short of alarm.
But Aggies are now entering the period of the school
year that sees the most student lives lost in automobile
accidents. Upcoming are the trip to Austin for the Thanks
giving game, the trip home from Austin for a belated holiday
vacation and then the trip back to school next weekend.
In three short weeks another similar holiday comes up—
Christmas. And then only a few days after classes resume
in 1963, the semester will end and students will be scattering
to their homes again.
There really isn’t much that can be done to insure safety
on the state’s highways. All we can do is ask that students
exercise care during the upcoming holiday and keep in mind
that even more care will be needed during the next two
months. A slip of any kind could be fatal.
Sound Off
Editor,
The Battalion:
I know that the subject of
“speaking and whipping out” has
been kicked around a lot. The
members of the Class of ’66 do
not seem to know who to meet.
Regardless of the Cadet Code of
Conduct, I think that the fresh
men should meet all civilians. I
have noticed where a freshman

will “meet” a person in the Corps
and then try to ignore the civil
ians with him. It has always
been an understanding that the
freshman whips out to the civil
ian first. Also, contrary to pop
ular belief, a freshman still
speaks to everyone he meets!
As far as the civilians go, I no
ticed one the other day (Class
of ’66) who uses the handle of
“fish” when he whips out. He
said that since he was not a mem
ber of the Corps, he saw no rea
son whatsoever that he should
be “ordered” not to whip out as
a freshman. I am not saying
that the civilians should whip out
as if they were “still” in the
Corps, but the least they can do
is speak when spoken to. In
contrast to this, I have heard of
civilians complaining because
member's of the Corps of Cadets
refuse to speak when spoken to.
Much to my regret, I have
noticed a few sophomores will
speak only to- juniors add seniors.
When I speak to someone and he
refuses to return the greeting,
I feel that I am just a little bit
better than he is.

THE SAFE WAY to stay alert
without harmful stimulants
NoDoz keeps you mentally
alert with the same safe re
fresher found in coffee and
tea. Yet NoDoz is faster,
handier, more reliable. Abso
lutely not habit-forming.
Next time monotony makes
you feel drowsy while driving,
working or studying, do as
millions do . . . perk up with
safe, effective NoDoz tablets.
