Aggies Go For Bulletin Board
AGGIE TRADING POST
By LANI PRESSWOOD
During class hours, one of the
liveliest places on the Texas
A&M campus is the bulletin
board on the first floor of the
Academic Building.
Where else can you find a
bayonet, a car refrigerator and
a parachute rig for sale at the
same time? Or a matched set of
.45 caliber target pistols for $250,
or a chance to sell pictures of
the Bonfire in the Hensel-Col-
lege View area on weekends ?
These are but a few of the
wide variety of advertisements to
be found virtually anytime on the
heavily-used board.
The board contains nine rows
of homemade signs, most either
notecards or paper slips of a
similar size. There are separate
sections labelled “Lost,” “Found,”
“For Sale,” “Wanted,” and
“Misc.,” although few advertisers
take advantage of the convenient
classifications.
A recent inspection of this
overgrown section of want ads
produced a typical assortment of
merchandise.
Textbooks and uniforms were
the most numerous items ad
vertised, and in these categories
everything from a nuclear engi
neering text to a pair of senior
boots could be found.
Used automobiles closely fol
lowed in frequency, with Volks-
wagens, Plymouths, B u i c k s ,
Chevrolets, Mercurys and a Pon
tiac all making the list. Sev
eral motorcycles and a 40-foot
mobile home were also up for
sale.
And one Aggie put out a des
perate call for a ”4.11 Chevy
Rear” that he needed before the
weekend.
For music lovers there was a
piano, guitar and trombone,
along with several radios, stereo
sets, amplifiers and tape record
ers.
A muscular type could pick up
a set of barely-used barbells for
only $19 while a slow reader
could take eight lessons in speed
reading for a mere thirty dol
lars.
There were several attention-
getting devices in evidence that
would have done credit to Madi
son Avenue. One advertiser
wrote “SEX” in large block let
tering at the top of his card.
Below it was a message in smal
ler letters beginning, “now that I
have your attention, would you be
interested in . . . ”’
Another card read: “Attention
Matthew Brady Fan Club Mem
bers—Be Ready For The Next
Civil War With This,” Written
underneath this come-on was an
ad for a Polaroid camera.
The advertisement for the ear-
10 Merit Awards Available
For Junior College Students
Ten merit award scholarships
are available for junior college
graduates to attend Texas A&M.
The scholarship provides $150
support for each of four semes
ters, renewable by semester if the
holder maintains a 2.0 grade
point ratio, said Robert M. Lo
gan.
“We wish to recognize out
standing junior college students
and encourage them to continue
their education at Texas A&M,”
the student aid director comment
ed.
Sixty thousand students were
enrolled in 51 junior colleges in
Texas in 1964-65, when A&M had
710 junior college transfers.
Scholarships will be awarded
strictly on scholastic achieve
ment, Logan stated. However,
financial need will be used to
determine scholarship winners
among several students with
equal academic records.
Funds for the ten $600 scholar
ships are available through gifts
to the A&M Development Fund.
Applications may be obtained
from deans of students and must
be filed no later than June 15.
Awards will be announced by
June 30.

North Gate
lier-mentioned parachute rig pro
claimed that the $40 outfit was
“ready to jump.” And a promi
nent, black-and-white photograph
showed the two pistols resting in
a velvet-lined case.
One advertiser ran afoul of
what appeared to be a revenge-
bent student taking his lumps in
a freshman English course. The
victim’s ad included the mis
spelled words “cheverlets” and
“tyres” and both were circled
and had an “sp” drawn beside
them.
Another collegiate businessman
offered to trade James Bond nov
els, even, for books of trading
stamps and still another adver
tised a massive collection of old
Playboy magazines.
A couple of enterprising ladies
asked these questions in their
separate ads: “Need curtains for
your dorm room?” and “Need a
quiet room to study in?”
Of course there was a whole
host of other items advertised,
including a pair of Italian-made
ski boots, massager and bicycle
loaded with extras.
But the bayonet ad remains the
most intriguing of the lot. It
read: “Bayonet for sale — Never
used — Many uses around the
home.”
