State Of The
Campus Address
Dear Editor
The Battalion
I jest thought I’d write a short
letter to keep you from gettin’
lonesome puttin' out the Bat
talion. I passed by late last night
at 10 and saw that the lights were
still on so I knows you must be
workin’ hard to be up that late.
It seems that the only thing
Fs done this week is writ themes
and take quizzes. I jest finished
this three page report on the best
story I every read, but it wuz
really kinda stupid. It’s called
Romeo and Juliet and its a great
love drama which Shakespeer
writ. It’s about these two kids,
weren’t but 13 or 13 Vi years old,
who were crazy about each other.
They ended up killin’ themselves
which didn’t make no since be
cause everyone knows its jest
puppy love they’s sufferin’ from.
Shucks, I would have used up my
nine lives already if ’n I wuz to
kill meself every time I fell for
some cute little girl.
Speakin’ of cute little girls re
minds me of this tall black-haired
girl in my 6 a. m. class. She
don’t come in though until seven,
at 6 in the morn because those
in fact no one does. I only comes
three juniors in my dorm told me
to get in good with the teacher
I should always be an hour early
for class. Course she probably
doesn’t need no extra help, but
I’s thinkin’ of tellin’ her about
cornin’ at 6 to get in good. Then
maybe I can take her to the
picture show some night.
When I first come to A&M I
wuz mad because girls were here,
but then those juniors told me
they wuz only here during sum
mer school. That makes me feel
better because girls kinda make
me nervous if you know what I
mean. They’s always frettin’ and
fussin’ and chasin’ boys and I
ain’t ready to be caught yet. I
want to be an Aggie first. I
know how those girls chase Ag
gies. That is all except this girl
in my class of course. I can tell
she ain’t like the rest because her
big brown eyes are jest like my
squirrel dogs and my great gran-
squirrel dogs and my great
grandpa (I didn’t think he was
so hot but my family always
calls him great) always sez them
thar eyes are jest bustin’ out
with kindness and faithfullness to
his master.-
Well I guess I’s better go. My
old hands are jest about written
out after that theme and all. I’ll
try to write next week but my
teachers are beggin’ to keep me
after class to rewrite my papers.
Those juniors tell me that’s a
sign they’re beginnin’ to notice
me.

Foreign Enrollment
Shows Big Increase
Foreign student enrollment for
Texas A&M’s first summer ses
sion is up 21 per cent over the
similar 1965 period.
Among 370 international stu
dents are representatives of 52
countries, from Argentina to Viet
Nam. India, Pakistan, Tunisia,
Mexico, China and the United
Arab Republic lead enrollment
figures. India registered 54, in
cluding 48 graduate students.
Enrollment for the first sum
mer term in 1965 was 305.
SHORT
SNORTS
Atty. Gen. Waggoner Carr has
ruled that a salvage dealer must,
upon demand, surrender license
plates and certificates of titles to
motor vehicles obtained for scrap
disposal, resale or any sort of
salvage.
Texas Supreme Court ruled
that Texas Highway Commission
may dispose of unused right-of-
way and that land does not revert
back to original owner.
By HERKY KILLINGSWORTH
My fellow students. As we
pause here during the middle of
our term I feel it is necessary to
reestablish my present policies
both here in our beloved school
and abroad. A new term will
soon be upon us and indeed if I
am to stay in school I must re
affirm my decisions and also
clear up the nasty rumors con
cerning my roommates, Lani
Byrd, Lennie Byrd, and Larry
Canary.
With the heavy burden of Chief
Student upon my hands I seldom
have enough time to spend with
my roommates. When I am in
College Station, Lani Byrd is in
Bryan; when I am in Bryan he
is in Mexico running about the
country yelling “Beautifico, beau-
tifico” which translates out to be
“Beautify,” “Beautify.”
And Lennie Byrd has her head
up in the stars. She spends more
time in Hollywood than she does
at home in the Big Apartment.
It seems like it was only yester
day that he was graduating from
college and now look at him. Back
again for more. I am proud of
his Aggie heritage although there
are times when I wish he wouldn’t
“let George do it.”
I find it necessary at this time
to clear up a rumor concerning
Larry Canary. He is not going to
buy' the Principality of the
Vatican City. This is an uncivil
ized stab in the back started by
members of our opposing party
school, TU. People like that
shouldn’t be allowed in school for
they only blacken the good name
of students everywhere.
When together in the Great
Apartment, ours is a happy
family. Of course our dog “It”
isn’t around anymore. Darn those
pesky squirrels. Dean Mac Mar
row is sending over a committee
to exterminate them from the
Great Apartment Walls, but I
am sorry for it is too late for
“It.” We carried the mangy mutt
back to our Bryan Penthouse and
buried her next to her puppyhood
playmate, Rubber Bone.
My fellow Aggies I only wish
that my roommate problems were
as simple as my school problems.
The North Professors unfortu
nately are still presenting scenes
distracting my home attentions
and I fear that I may soon have
to make a policy concerning this
matter. Meantime I will continue
as always and keep supplying
them students to fail until it is
my turn to go before them. Until
then, I shall continue to “let
George do it.”
Also, we are having problems
right here within the boundaries
of our own University. Dissention
and segregation is blackening our
true Aggie Heritage of share and
share alikeness. Of course every
one knows of the problems of
which I speak. I speak of the
coeds now attending our institu
tion which are runing the fine
Aggie tradition of our past. I
plead with you to accept them.
They are a part of our heritage
dating back to Eve and even
closer to home, Mrs. Baird. Falter
not when you see one pass by but
lift your head to the flag and
remember that they are neces
sary in the continuance of our
fellow students.
These school problems are
major problems indeed and prob
lems which I will carefully pon
der during the remainder of this
term and into, I hope, the next
term also. Along with Dean Mac
Marrow and Senator Ninikid
Kandy, we will do what we feel
will .best aid this University and
help it to continue being the land
which our forefather, General
Lawrence (?) Sullivan, intended.
In the future we will study more
major problems such as the eco
nomic condition I am now under
going in my new decrease in
allowance, new fund raising
drives in the name of Incoming
Tacks (Texas Aggies Campus
Kops Sanctuary) to make up this
economic problem, and possibly
those problems concerning our
schools abroad such as Baylor,
Rice, and A&M Consolidated.
I hope you will continue to back
me throughout my term as Chief
Student and I will do my best to
support your faith in my room
mates and I. Until then, Lani
Byrd, Lennie Byrd, Larry Ca
nary, and I will lift our heads
to the old red, white, and maroon
and sing that old freedom hymn
we learned way back when, The
Aggie War Hymn. I thank the
fellow Americans.
(This has been an unpaid
political announcement and writ
ten for the expressed purpose of
fun.)

Mortimer's Notes
Howdy! Following are my
comments for the week:
If you missed the dance at the
Memorial Student Center last
Thursday, you missed something
. . . Tom Morgan, the man in
charge of the affair, reported
the dance was a complete suc
cess . . . He also reports The
Riptides from San Antonio will
play June 30 for another student
dance . . . The admission for the
June 30 dance will be $1 per
person . . . Morgan said dances
will be scheduled during the sum
mer and to watch for a night
swimming dance party . . . More
details on the swimming party
will be announced later.
Aggies are always trying to
help with something . . . Well,
Don Allen, chairman of the Stu
dent Senate Welfare committee,
is directing a special summer
blood drive for the Wadley Blood
Foundation of Dallas . . . Allen
wants this drive to be a commu
nity drive not just an Aggie drive
. . . Any person interested in do
nating blood should call the Stu
dent Program Office of the MSC.
Reports from Austin has it that
several members of the Texas
Liberal Democratic party are dis
appointed that Texas A&M does
not have political clubs on cam
pus . . . Leaders of the organiza
tion -said they will look into the
situation and that they will try
to get some results . . . Political
clubs have long been an issue on
campus . . . The Student Senate
has favored allowing the clubs
on campus but university admin
istrators have balked at the Sen-
at demands.
Actors are still needed at the
Fallout Theater-Workshop . . .
THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK:
Benjamin Franklin once said, “If
a man could have HALF his
wishes, he would double his
troubles.”
See Ya ’round—

Help A Teenager
Are you interested in the welfare of the teenagers in
Bryan-Collegre Station this summer? Ask the average teen
ager his most pressing problems during the summer months
—the odds are he will mention the need for something to
do and the desire to have a job.
The Texas Employment Commission solicits your pledge
to give summer jobs to Bryan-College Station teenagers.
There is no fee to the boys and girls or to the employer for
employment in this program.
Perhaps you know of jobs outside of your firm that
would be available to these boys or girls of 16 to 21. Sug-
gested tasks are yard work, ranch work, house and garage
clean up, clerical, typing, stenography, car hops, sales clerk,
package delivery, service station attendants, child care,
swimming pool sitters and hand bill circulation. You can
help these young people by having them help you in your
vacation periods in business and in your home.
We will accept requests for jobs of any duration—three
hours to three months. All job applicants will be screened
and only qualified youngsters will be sent to you for the
job you have to offer.
Call the Texas Employment Commission at 822-0136
today.
The teenagers of Bryan-College Station want to help
you; will you help them?

I’m missing from this picture. I belong right between the subjects. For
the old gentleman on the right is my father . . . and the young gentleman on
the left is my son. But someone had to snap the picture.
It was taken on a Sunday afternoon. Earlier the three of us had walked
to church. And Grandpa — (you know how you come to call your own father
“grandpa” after you have a son) — well, Grandpa put his hand on Jimmy’s
shoulder.
“You know, Jimmy,” he said, “I’ve been walking to church down this street
ever since it was a cowpath. And I used to think real proud-like, when I walked
your father to church, that the Lord never gave me a bigger job to do than
raise my son a Christian. But I feel just as proud walkin’ by you — like all my
important work isn’t done yet!"
Understand why I wanted this picture? And why I call it “Unfinished
Business?”
THE CHURCH FOR ALL-
ALL FOR THE CHURCH
The Church is the greatest factor
on earth for the building of charac
ter and good citizenship. It is a store
house of spiritual values. Without a
strong Church, neither democracy
nor civilization can survive. There
are four sound reasons why every
person should attend services regu
larly and support the Church. They
are: (1) For his own sake. (2) For
his children’s sake. (3) For the sake
of his community and nation. (4)
For the sake of the Church itself,
which needs his moral and material
support. Plan to go to church regu
larly and read your Bible daily.
