Reynold’s Rap
To The (Ouch!) Dentist
What makes strong men weep ?
The brave cower in corners ? The
most prominent among men to
seek shelter?
It is not the thought of the
hydrogen bomb. It is not Bat
man. It is a simple trip to . . .
THE DENTIST’S OFFICE.
There is something about the
threat of having to visit a gentle
man of this profession that
strikes a note of terror into just
about everyone’s heart.
Once they get started, regular
visits, that is, people tend to shy
away from them. If you really
need sympathy, just those simple
words:
‘Tve got a dentist appoint
ment.”
If you want the rest of the
afternoon off, just say those
magic words:
I had a dentist appointment
this morning.
My teeth are not the best in
the world. I think I either in
herited the world’s worst teeth
or I use the world’s worst tooth
brush. Once every six months,
the molars, bicuspids and what-
haveyou begin to resemble a
swiss cheese. Of course I AM
NOT at fault.
After 12 months, the fillings
that I did have done at one time
have all given up the ghost and
fallen out. (This is painful after
awhile, but it makes for good con
versation at a restaurant when a
meal is dragging. You can get
the thing between your fingers
and say something like, “Look
at the hunk of metal that left
in my food.)
I have always eventually given
in and sought out a new dentist.
Hoard’s HoUer
By John Hotard
There’s now a new movement
on campus.
SCOFF.
It was organized, last night
and will gain tremendous momen
tum before the month is ended.
Due to the size of the expected
crowds, all rallies will be held
on the Easterwood Field instead
of Kyle Field as originally
planned.
By now some of you are won
dering just what SCOFF is. Oth
ers won’t care. They’re the ones
who will join because it’s a cam
pus movement, which means it’s
against the administration,
whether it be federal, state or
university.
I hate to disappoint those who
think this way, because this
movement is not against any ad
ministration.
It’s against one man. Call it
persecution if you want. (That’ll
attract a few weirdos.)
SCOFF is the Student Confer
ence On Flunking Flippo.
Walter Flippo is his name. He’s
a graduating agronomy student
and in May he’ll pack up his
potted plants and leave this fair
community. Actually SCOFF
could care less. We’re glad to
see him go.
But when he leaves, he will
take his wife with him, and that
is the dirtiest, sneakiest, trickiest,
meanest lowdown thing that an
Aggie could do to 100 fellow Ag
gies, and we’re out to flunk him
for it.
Mrs. Flippo, better known as
Judy (sigh when you say that,
podnuh), is the secretary in the
Department of Journalism. At
least, that is how she is carried
on the university payroll. To all
journalism students she’s a
sweetheart, mother, confidant,
sympathizer for Dean John reci
pients, a soft shoulder to tell your
troubles on, a coffee maker, cake
maker, cookie maker, typist, sup
ply clerk, ditto and offset press
operator, librarian, telephone an
swering service and Playmate of
the Year all rolled into one.
She is the epitome of what
a secretary should be.
Her office is next to that of
the head of the department — in
the darkest corner of the base
ment of Nagle Hall, which, when
you stop to think about it, is
an excellent place to put de
partment heads, but not Judy.
Actually, the students prefer this.
a good thing, the better for those
who do know, I always say.
But perhaps you’ve caught a
glimpse of her on campus be
tween Nagle Hall and the MSC
on her way to coffee, or else in
the parking lot waiting for her
husband. Someone like her you
don’t miss unless you’re blind as
a bat.
Judy has certain qualities
which some secretaries on cam
pus need to obtain. For one thing,
she speaks to Aggies in a down-
to-earth, pleasant voice, which is
rare among secretaries on cam
pus. In fact, just speaking to
Aggies is a rare quality. She is
always there, Monday through
Friday, with a big smile for any
one who enters the office, which
is a tremendous picker-upper to
journalism students who don’t
function too well at 8 in the
morning.
Judy is SCOFF’s entry in the
Battalion’s “Secretary of the
Year” award. Unfortunately,
rules limit the number of entries
to one. If you have a worthy can
didate, too bad.
But if you feel you have a
secretary who matches ours, you
can do one of two things: write
a letter to the editor, which will
be read before being thrown
away, or else get into a depart
ment which controls a newspaper
and retaliate.
But before you make a move,
you’d better bop on down to the
“J” department and take a peek
at Judy, just to see what you’re
up against.

This is done because if there is
anything worse than listening to
a lecture for something once, it
it listening to it twice for the
same thing. I know that it is
expensive, because each one of
the guys have to make a complete
set of X-rays, but somehow that
$15 to avoid a lecture is worth
it all.
It is especially worth it if you
have not been paying for it. How
ever, I am about to step out into
the cruel heartless world of busi
ness and there is nothing I can
think of that would be worse to
spend my hard-earned money on
that a flock of dentist bills.
Therefore, I have set about get
ting my dental work caught up
while the old man is still footing
the bill (I have one month to
go, and getting all my dental
work done in that time is like
trying to walk from G. Rollie
to Architecture in 10 minutes—
it just isn’t done).
I have had my first visit and
there was nothing but cleaning
and my first lecture. Somehow,
I don’t think the rest will be as
nice. Yet, they could cut my
tongue out and the loss of it
would probably not be great
enough to get me to brush after
every meal like that kook on TV.
