THE BATTALION Page 2 College Station, Texas Friday, October 11, 1963 “He mentioned something about redecorating his room, but I didn’t think it would be this elaborate!” BATTALION EDITORIALS Time Has Finally Come Man, it’s finally time. It’s time for a home game and those sweet young things. With four weeks of class behind us, the weekend of foot ball and dates will be a relief for many of us. It also gives some students their first opportunity to take a first-hand look at the Aggie football team for this year. Of course, we should remember that the football team and thousands of Aggie fans will be getting a first look at the Corps of Cadets, civilian students and their wives and dates. We are confident that the Corps will present itself as the fine marching unit it always is, and that the civilians will be just as impressive. However, we all should remember that the football team will not have much time for looking around. The only way they can be impressed by any of us is by the noise we make when we yell. We can let the team, former students, other Aggie fans and most important, ourselves, know that The Spirit is really alive on the A&M campus. We are confident that it is, and that our confidence will be justified this weekend. achievement: A long time ago, it seems now, a plain impera tive became the best-known motto of IBM: “Think.” I You may assess the achievement of our company, and of any individual in it, by the same word: “Think.” I If you are interested in achievement with IBM, ask your college placement officer for our brochures—and for an appointment when the IBM representative is interviewing on campus.

Asst. News Editor Asst. Sports Editor Photographer Editor, The Battalion: As a loyal and dedicated A&M former student I feel it neces sary to take exception to Bob Rowland’s letter in the Oct. 4 Battalion. Mr. Rowland is so far off base his letter hardly merits an ans wer, however, since there is a wild possibility that both stu dents and faculty might be mis led by such allegations and un founded statements an answer is appropriate. As graduate of the Class of ’41, letterman in three sports; and since graduation, an officer of the Aggie Club, past presi dent of the Quarterback Club, former member of the coaching staff, and above all, a dedicated —Job Calls— The following firms will inter view graduating seniors in the Placement Office of the YMCA Building: MONDAY California Oil Company — Chemical engineering, civil engi neering, geology, geological engi neering, geophysic, petroleum en gineering.

COACH NORTON’S PANCAKE HOUSE Daily—Merchants lunch Sound Off and contributing A&M former student, I feel qualified to speak. First, the great majority of the Aggie former students over the world shall continue to sup port A&M in the future as they have in the past, and I shall continue to do so. This shall be. For all honest to goodness, true A&M men are endowed with that certain some thing you cannot beg, borrow or steal, and gain only by being an A&M Man. All of us are privileged to have this unique quality, that A&M and only A&M can give. Secondly, our loyalty is much, much deeper than co-education, intergration or any other changes that the administration or board might feel necessary to further the advancement of our great university. President Earl Rudder and his administration team and staff are doing an excellent job and the former students have the great est confidence in their leader ship. Above all else, Mr. Rowland, I shall oppose the legislature, or any other minority group at tempting to dictate to the Board of Directors on the co-education issue or any other issue envolv- ing policy matters relating to our school, and will stump the state if necessary to prevent such an occurance. It is beyond me to try and figure out who Mr. Rowland thinks he is representing in such a letter. Certainly he is not speaking for me and the vast PALACE Brylin Z‘$$79 TODAY & SATURDAY Janet Leigh & Van Johnson In “WIVES & LOVERS” majority o f other A g g i e s throughout the state and nation.

Pugh, ’41 ★ ★ ★ Editor, The Battalion: On behalf of the “two per centers” I object to being group ed with Aggies that lack school spirit and those who object to any once-established rule or tra dition or who are “disgusted” with anyone who does object to anything. It has been us two percenters that have always brought about reforms and, almost any other change you can mention. But once the change has been made we proceed onward looking for new and brighter fields to con quer. As for the football team, we have always criticized it to the effect that many bashful Aggies have been forced to show their spirit.
