Easter Holidays See Rise
In Tall Tales By Students
i!"
“—Jk Depopulation of the world is
■imminent if one. believes all the
L J stories of dying- relatives college
wV| profs are told just before a holi
day.
Easter holidays begin at A&M
at 5 p.m. Wednesday. Everyone
wants to leave early.
The "excuses take heavily tolls
i grandmothers, uncles and
aunts. A death in the family
is the old standby to get out of
| Wednesday afternoon classes.
“By my calculations, every car
on the campus leaves four hours
early,” remarked one engineer-
| ing-oriented professor.
Five days before the five-day
| spring recess begins, two stu-
| dents had come forward to miss
his two-hour engineering draw
ing class.
A students hurried to his prof’s
desk ohe morning, stating breath
lessly:
“Sammy died and I have to get
right home.”' ' The prof looked
askance but asked no questions.
Had he asked, the instructor
would have found Sammy was the
family’s pet cat.
Another' faint of breath cadet
careened int6 class and plopped
into a chair. The teacher looked
at his dilated eyes, twitching fin
gers and queried the student as
to whether he should take the
major quiz, set for the day be
fore leave. The Aggie didn’t
know.
“How did you get yourself in
this condidtion,” the prof asked,
setting himself up.
“I just finished my solo flight
at Easterwood Airport,” the ca
det quaked.
Other miraculous excuses are
born daily and will likely con
tinue as long as future scientists
apply their well-developed think
ing systems to producing them.

Cadets Named
For AF Grants
Sixty Air Force ROTC cadets
are being nominated for Air
Force Financial Assistance
Grants.
Grants are offered to attract
capable students with specific
skills and abilities to the Air
Force, explained Col. Raymond C.
Lee, professor of aerospace
studies. Inception of the program
this year allows one award to a
fully qualified senior cadet per
detachment.
The two-year grant pays re
quired fees and tuition, $75 per
year for books and $50 a month.
Grants go primarily to cadets
entering the third year of a
four-year AFROTC program.
A&M’s nominated cadets have
satisfied minimum qualifications
of at least a 1.88 grade point ratio
on a 3.0 scale, 30. per cent score
on the officer qualifying test, and
physical, personal and moral at
tributes expected of Air Force
Officers.
Awards are based on individ
ual performance and qualifica
tions, with each recipient review
ed periodically, Lee noted.
A central selection board at
AFROTC Headquarters will de
termine recipients. Selection will
be announced by May 15. Un
selected nominees will be consid
ered as alternates or for scholar
ships later vacated.
