THE BATTALION Page 2 College Station, Texas Friday, March 12, 1965 BATTALION EDITORIALS High School Seniors Face Big Decision Welcome High School Career Day guests! A&M sets this weekend aside each year in your honor to aid you in making one of the most important decisions of your lifetime—the choice of a university. Saturday you will be exposed to numerous speeches and tours, all designed to show off our university’s facilities. But much of what A&M has to offer cannot be covered by a boastful lecture or an extensive tour, for our most valuable attribute can only be found in the minds of our students. This, of course, is the famous Aggie Spirit—that unequaled, intangible devotion to the institution of A&M. Before you decide where to spend the next four years of your life it might be well to decide if temporary pleasures can compensate for long term goals. The pleasure seekers are wasting their time at A&M. If college life represents to you four years of entertainment. College Station has little to offer. On the other hand, if you are the serious student whc puts the value of an education above social pleasures— observe closely. Academic excellence in all fields is rapidly becoming a reality at A&M. The internationally known Corps of Cadets is one of the finest military organizations in the nation—rivaling the federal service academies in the pro duction of elite military personnel. In short, Aggies play the game of life for keeps, and they play it hard. There might be a place for you on our greatest winning team.

Every morning the shepherd called his lead sheep to guide the rest of the flock out to pasture. The lead sheep could be identified easily because he wore a bell. Whenever one of the sheep was bad, the shepherd always met with the lead sheep to decide what should be done. If a sheep was very bad, the decision was always the same — the bad sheep was thrown to the wolves as an ex ample to the others. It was generally a good herd. However, there was one sheep in the group that had an annoying habit. He liked to butt heads with the others while they grazed.

College Station For party rates phone 846-8097 This habit annoyed a few of the group but most of them looked upon it as harmless tomfoolery. It didn’t please the shepherd at all, though. He liked to re lax while the flock was grazing but the sight of the mischievous sheep cavorting around while the others were trying to eat brother- ed him. Then one day this sheep went too far. He butted another sheep too hard and hurt him. This angered the rest of the flock very much. It angered them so much that when the shepherd seized the misbehaving sheep and threw him to the wolves, nobody objected. They didn’t even ob ject to the shepherd’s failure to consult the lead sheep before he did it. Not long afterwards, another sheep began to bother the shep herd.? This sheep was always getting in the shepherd’s way and the shepherd kept tripping over him. This aggravated the shep herd so much that one day in a fit of rage he suddenly threw this sheep to the wolves too. The rest of the flock had a hard time going to sleep that night. —Presswood and Elmore Ladies FREE Bowling- Instructions for the beginning bowler. Free coffee & nursery while bowling.

All 2-door models. Each of these beauties is the lowest priced in its line. But the ride doesn’t show it. Or the interior. Or the performance. That luxurious Biscayne is as roomy as many expensive cars, has color-keyed interiors, plush vinyls, fine fabrics, full deep-twist carpeting. Chevelle, America’s favorite inter- mediate-size car, has clean new styling, wide doors, roomy, tasteful interiors and Chevrolet easy-care features. Chevy II got a lot smarter for ’65— but stayed sensible! Still family-size, easy to handle, economical, and the lowest priced Chevrolet you can buy. Or get a sporty rear-engine hardtop in a Corvair Sport Coupe or Sport Sedan for fun in the months ahead. Chevrolet, Chevelle and Chevy II are available with the Turbo-Thrift Six for fuel economy, quick warmups, quiet idling. It’s light, efficient, smooth and spirited. Corvair’s air-cooled rear-mounted Turbo-Air Six delivers the best balance and traction for this size car. So be practical. Only you will know.
