THE BATTALION Friday, March 6, 1964 College Station, Texas Page 3 Cadet Slouch — ‘The Aggie’s Aggie’ YOOt» BEEN UER.E FO' 3 Ofc A- WEEK'S , FfeU PEECH! WOW LOWCi DID VO' THINK YOU COULD KEEP THAT GOEL VO' IS NOW AN AGGIE.* By TOM HARGROVE Special Writer For the past 11 years, Aggies have chuckled at the predica ments of The Battalion’s own comic strip character, “Cadet Slouch” and his buddies. This easy-going, well-meaning Aggie always has the best of intentions but, no matter how hard he tries, the cruel hand of fate usually works against him. Slouch’s career at A&M began back in 1953 when his creator, Jim Earle, then a senior archi tecture major, started drawing daily cartoons for The Battalion. “I had always drawn silly pic tures as a hobby,” said Earle. “During my fourth year I de cided to try cartooning. I talk ed to the editors of The Batt., Ed Holder and Jerry Bennett, and they put me on as a cartoon ist. I started drawing gags de picting life at A&M that fall. Soon there was an obvious need for a central character to build the cartoons around so, about Thanksgiving of that year, Cadet Slouch was created.” SLOUCH and his buddies have changed considerably since then. The present Slouch, although still a far cry from the “Cookie- pusher” category, has made quite an evolution. He now has a fuller neck, smaller ears, a better haircut, a sharper uniform and, a good deal more intelligence than did his earlier counterpart. His language and his manners have improved considerably since then. So has his behavior. But, like most Aggies, Slouch still has his same old problems recurring time and again — wo men, grades, “bulls,” profs and money, as well as his favorite past times — water fighting, “sack-time,” his favorite cigar stub, and practically anything coming under that broad Aggie heading of “Good Bull.” MANY OF THE “imaginary” faculty members that appear in the Slouch cartoons bear a re markable resemblance to actual members. Yet, despite these fre quent more-than-coincidental re semblances, Earle has never been reprimanded for his gags. “Better get a haircut, Fish Squirt!” VARSITY SHOP is sponsoring a free trip to the A&M - Texas Western Basket ball Game.

But what mariner would sail without it? For an anchor is not dead weight. It commands the tremen dous force of gravity in a wild, raging sea. It can grip solid land to fight driving wind or swirling current! A few men have thought they could go farther faster without religious faith . . . until the squalls found them drifting helplessly on bitter shoals! God gave us forces of motion and progress. We see . . . aspire . . . achieve. But the power to go is treacherous without the power to stay. So God gave us the Truth our churches offer every human heart. That Truth is man’s spiritual grip on the enduring . . . the eternal. THE CHURCH FOR ALL. • ALL FOR THE CHURCH The Church is the greatest factor on earth for the building of charac ter and good citizenship. It is a store house of spiritual values. Without a strong Church, neither democracy nor civilization can survive. There are four sound reasons why every person should attend services regu larly and support the Church. They are: (1) For his own sake. (2) For his children’s sake. (3) For the sake of his community and nation. (4) For the sake of the Church itself, which needs his moral and material support. Plan to go to church regu larly and read your Bible daily. Copyright 1964, Keister Advertising Service, Inc., Strasburg, Va.
