ID Birth Date Omissions
Due Change In February
Students heard early in the semester that new identifica
tion cards would be issued this fall. Since then they have been
asking - themselves, “when?” Now the cards have arrived and
are being distributed at the Exchange Store. Unfortunately,
questions are still being asked—mainly, “what happened?”
What happened is that a student’s date of birth is not
included on the card. How it happened, no one really knows.
Due to some misunderstanding between college officials and
the firm that made the cards, the birth date was simply
omitted.
Unfortunately, little can now be done about the situation.
Dean of Students James P. Hannigan told The Battalion Mon
day that all additional cards, the first of which will be issued
early in February when the second semester opens, will in
clude the date of birth. Cards issued this fall will not be
changed, the dean said.
The new numbers on the cards have also puzzled more
than one student. They are not the same identification num
bers that students had in the past, but the number from this
semester’s fee slip.
Hannigan explained that the new numbers are designed
to stay with a student throughout his stay here and will not
be changed each semester, as fee slip numbers have been in
the past.
Naturally, no one knows exactly how the change will
work out and it is unfortunate that the first step has been
so shaky. We hope, however, that the student body will be
patient and accept the change for the merits the new cards do
present.

Editor,
The Battalion:
I noted with interest the letters
in the Nov. 15 Battalion and have
this to say:
Mr. W. R. Allen, ’62, and Mr.
Bobby L. McCorkle, ’65 claim
that they “have great respect for
the Corps and for most of the
men in it.” Apparently they have
little respect for anything else.
Wha^ campus in the U. S. has
not had a street or two closed
off from time to time for spirit
raising functions ?
A&M is not the only college in
the nation that conducts a yell
practice in the street, but it is
one of the few where students
are so disinterested and so dis
respectful that they drive their
cars right through the middle of
the crowds.
In addition to being disrespect
ful to the traditions of A&M and
to the football team, itself, the
very act is extremely dangerous,
and thereby reflects adversely on
the intelligence of the persons
involved, the groups they repre
sent and tl^e persons that defend
them.
* On the subject of whether or
not Corps students would attend
unrequired yell practices, the
answer is obviously yes, at least
in greater percentages than
civilian students do. Look at the
number of Corps seniors (who
are not required to attend) that
are generally present, as com
pared to the number of civilian
students that attend, and are
usually noticeable by their ab
sence.
How did Dave Coulson get
into the Class of ’65 ? He was
a fish in Co. B-2 at the beginning
of this year. He wrote the letter
asking why freshmen in the
Corps are not required to whip
out to civilian students.
In closing, let me ask James
Carpathian to please try to de
velop more skill in writing in the
“sarcastic” style before he makes
himself look really ridiculous.
Also, if R. S. Riquelmy has any
constructive suggestions, let’s
hear them; otherwise he is free
to get out of this “ramshackle
place.”
C. Chris Schaefer, ’64

Editor,
The Battalion:
Are we letting a meaningful
Aggie tradition sink into ob
livion? I am referring to the
long-standing tradition of sing
ing the War Hymn whenever the
team is in a tight spot. Since I
am a “scroungy non-reg,” per
haps I cannot fully realize that
the War Hymn is meant to be
sung only before the game, to
be played by the band at half
time and to be sung at the fourth
quainter as Bill Brashears and his
fellow-yell leaders presuppose.
The absence of the War Hymn
at many tight spots in this sea
son’s games was easily noticeable.
It was mentioned at a midnight
yell practice that the team put
some extra fight into their game
whenever Coach Foldberg told
them the War Hymn was being
sung. I can agree with Bill at
the Rice game when he claimed
the team did not want any noise
during the final tense moments,
but is a football game only five
minutes long?

HAPPY TALK
As we all know, conversation is terribly important on a ill
When lulls in the conversation run longer than an hour or ti;
one’s partner is inclined to grow logy—even sullen. But*
casionally one finds it difficult to keep the talk going, espes?
when one is having a first date with one. What, then, doesonet
If one is wise, one follows the brilliant example of Haikj
Thurlow.
Harlow Thurlow prepares. That is his simple secret, la
Harlow i? going to take out a new girl, he makes sure in adva
that the conversation will not languish. Before the dafek
goes to the library and reads all 24 volumes of the encyclopeii
and transcribes their contents on his cuffs. Thus he makes a
that no matter what his date’s interests are, he will have ami 1
material to keep the conversation alive.
Take, for example, Harlow’s first date with Priscilla i
Gasser, a fine, strapping, blue-eyed broth of a girl, lavisHy
constructed and rosy as the dawn.
Harlow was, as always, prepared when he called forPrkliV
and, as always, he did not start to converse immediately, fct
he took her to dinner because, as everyone knows, it is usds
to try to make conversation with an unfed coed. Herattafe
span is negligible. Also, her stomach rumbles so louditisdiii'
cult to make yourself heard.
Jjlli
W filr Cuffs Ml kwkf
So he took her to a fine steak house where he stoked hervii
gobbets of Black Angus and mounds of French fries and thiil
ets of escarole and battalions of petit fours. Then, at lit
dinner was' over and the waiter brought two finger bowls,
“I hope you enjoyed your dinner, my dear,” said
dipping into his finger bowl.
“Oh, it was grandy-dandy!” said Priscilla. “Now let;i 5
someplace for ribs.”
“Later, perhaps,” said Harlow. “But right now, I ttapi
we might have a conversation.”
“Oh, goody, goody, two-shoes!” cried Priscilla. “I
looking everywhere for a boy who can carry on a intclli^
conversation.”
“Your search is ended, madam,” said Harlow, and pi®
back his sleeves and looked at his cuffs to pick a likely topie a
start the conversation.
Oh, woe! Oh, lackaday! Those cuffs on which HarlowW
painstakingly transcribed so many facts—those cuffs on
he had noted such diverse and fascinating information-t^
cuffs, I say, were nothing now but a big, blue blur! ForH#
—poor Harlow!—splashing around in the finger bowl, had god' 3
his cuffs wet and the ink had run and not one word was legit
And Harlow—poor Harlow!—looked upon his cuffs andbK‘ ;
out in a night sweat and fell dumb.
“I must say,” said Priscilla after several silent hours, “It*
you are a very dull fellow. I’m leaving.”
With that she flounced away and poor Harlow was
crushed to protest. Sadly he sat and sadly lit a cigarette
All of a sudden Priscilla came rushing back. “Was tW^
asked, “a Marlboro you just lit?”
“Yes,” said Harlow.
“Then you are not a dull fellow,” she cried, and sprang'j' 3
bis lap. “You are bright! Anybody is bright to smoke suet
perfect joy of a cigarette as Marlboro which is just chocks
of yummy flavor, which has a Selectrate filter which coins' 1
soft pack that is really soft, and a Flip-Top Box that really ^
and which can be bought wherever cigarettes are sold in all r'
states and Duluth . . . Harlow, tiger, wash your cuft 131
be my love.”
“Okay,” said Harlow, and did, and was. © lauim 5 *''
