Trials & Tribulations
Of An Aggie’s Day
It was a normal day at Texas A&M:
The late-sleeping civilians cussed the Corps for awaking
them at 6:30 a. m.
late.
The early-rising Corps cussed the civilians for sleeping
Scrambled eggs were served for breakfast in the Sbisa
cafeteria for the fourth straight month.
Civilians and Corps finally found something which they
could agree upon—their dislike for the scrambled eggs served
in Sbisa for the fourth straight month.
The chimes on the MSC and the B&U whistle scheduled
to go off at 8 a. m. were five minutes apart.
Ranger had to leave his favorite spot on the steps of
Nagle Hall while hundreds of sleepy Aggies cussed 8 o’clock
classes and stumbled past him.
Fifty students brought newspapers into government
class to have something to read for the next 50 minutes.
Two students brought opera glasses into chemistry
lecture so they could see what was going on from the back
row.
“Old Army is going to hell,” was quoted for the 10,000th
time this semester.
Plans were made to paint outfit insignas on the water
tower by 200 fish.
Plans were made to keep students off the water tower
by 5 KK’s.
“I’ve decided that ‘Dead Week’ is an appropriate name for
this week!”
The 200th car this week discovered the parking lot be
hind the ME shops was not a thoroughfare.
Noon traffic was piled up two miles at the traffic circle.
The elevator in the YMCA building went on the blink
again for the 20th time this year.
The Coke machine in Puryear Hall was broken for the
second day.
There were no parking places outside the MSC.
And 8,500 Aggies said their daily “I hate this damn
place.”
It was a normal day at Texas A&M.

Editor,
The Battalion:
The Texas A&M University
System is indeed fortunate to
have a Board of Directors hand
ling its affairs who have the fore
sight and imagination to con
tinually forge Texas A&M Uni
versity into a superior institution
of higher education. It is time
that we stop bickering over tri-
vials, at least momentarily, and
clear the haze in order that we
may realize the true purpose of
Texas A&M University and the
Texas A&M University System:
to study and teach the higher
branches of learning.
School traditions and spirit are
definitely needed for a Well-
rounded institution. No one can
deny this fact. But traditions
come and go, as does the stu
dent. As Aggies, we have deep
within our hearts a supreme
spirit, known only to us. But,
because Texas A&M University is
an excellent university, we also
have knowledge. This knowledge
is not to be selfishly hoarded
Neither should the facilities used
to teach and study be hoarded.
It is true that the reorganiza
tion of an expanding business is
temporarily costly; yet, the out
come is beneficial for all con
cerned. Education is big busi
ness. The Texas A&M University
System is a multi-million dollar
business; and, it is indeed ex
panding. The name change,
possible ring change, and other

incidentals involved in the or
ganizational shuffle proposed for
the System will not destroy the
individuality, prestige or tradi
tions of Texas A&M, ASC or any
of the other colleges in the Sys
tem. But, the increased effici
ency, better coordination, and re
sulting improvements- will be
highly beneficial and rewarding
to all the schools involved. Re
member, “clothes make the man,”
but they can only accent his
character and ability to be a
man.
To be a leader, one must be
aggressive and receptive to
changes involved in advancement.
The reorganization of the Texas
A&M System will forge an edu
cational framework destined for
state and national leadership.
Let us not resist; let us lead.

Editor,
The Battalion:
It was a bright Monday after
noon, Jan. 11, 1965, as I parked
my half-breed Studebaker at the
MSC between the bowling alley
and Guion Hall. Upon entering
the MSC and finding one of the
group not there yet, I left the
MSC and went to Hart Hall to
prod the man along. We re
turned 10 minutes later.
This was my terrible crime. In
the moments of my great offense,
my car was prounced upon and a
ticket placed on the windshield.
When protesting this action I
was told that to make such a
trip to Hart Hall, 100 yards away
and back, I should first move my
car to the day student lot, a
quarter-mile away, make my trip
and then return it.
Sidewalk surfers, beware where
you park your wheels.

CHEVROLET—As roomy a car as Chevrolet’s ever built!
Chevrolet Impala Sport Coupe
When you take in everything, there’s more room inside moved forward to give you more foot room. So, besides
this car than in any Chevrolet as far back as they go. It’s the way a ’65 Chevrolet looks and rides, we now have
wider this year and the attractively curved windows help one more reason to ask you: What do you get by paying
to give you more shoulder room. The engine’s been more for a car—except bigger monthly payments?
CORVAIR — The only rear engine American car made.
Corvair Corsa Sport Coupe
You should read what the automotive magazines say can touch its styling. They say if you haven't driven a
about the ’65 Corvair. They’re wild about its ride. They new Corvair Corsa with a 180-hp Six Turbo-Chaaaarged!
think there’s nothing else this side of the Atlantic that you just don’t know what you’re missing.
