you seen many Christians burned
lately?
Here at A&M we have a tradi
tion for everything. We eat, sleep,
drink, speak, and live by tradi
tions. As our university grows in
size and academic excellence, old
outdated traditions fall by the
wayside while newer more stream
lined traditions take their places.
Many traditions of yesteryear
are still present in our everyday
life here. For example, it has
always been a solemn tradition
for freshnien to attend 8 a.m.
classes, sophomores 9 a.m., juniors
10 a.m., seniors 11 a.m. and we
6th and beyond students try at
least to make it once or twice a
week. Now it’s not that we’re not
interested in the great lectures of
our outstanding professors, it’s
only that as the years advance in
time one’s skill in pool, ping-pong,
bowling, and sleeping also ad
vances and additional time for
practice is needed.
Also along this line is the time
students go to bed. Freshmen
usually go to bed early, say 11
p.m., sophomores at midnight,
juniors at 1 a.m., seniors at 2
a.m., and we 6th and beyond try
to make it to bed. It’s not that
we dislike sleep (indeed, we cer
tainly love it), it’s just that all
that practicing takes time.
When incoming freshmen arrive
on campus they are going to be
told of many traditions. Before
you spend your precious time
learning these traditions, make
sure that it is still in use. For
instance, freshmen can now ask
a girl on campus for a date no
matter what an upperclassman
tells them.
If you want a complete listing
of the traditions and non-tradi
tions of this campus, write me for
my free booklet on “Traditions
on the A&M Campus.” Please en
close $20.00 for postage. In this
tremendous book, traditions in
various subjects will be discussed
such as those in football, class
room, dorm, date and sneezing.
For instance, did you realize that
dating with only one glove on is
not allowed except for juniors and
seniors. Then it’s understandable.

alert to defend our constitutional
right to do so. You can bet
your booties that there will be
more Mr. Bakal’s speaking out
against guns and they’ll have an
audience.
If you don’t want to see gran
dad’s old 12 gauge that you’ve
been keeping in your closet event
ually wind up in a police armory,
and you required to arrive hat
in hand, with your psychiatrist
on one hand and your preacher
on the other as you meekly ask
if you can pretty please use
your own gun to go dove hunting,
you’d better get on the stick and
make your voice heard now. And
make it heard where it will do
some good. Write your congress
man and tell him where you
stand. He’s certainly hearing
from the anti-gun people.

Also in my book will be a mod
ernization of the Freshman Cam-
pusology with questions and
answers brought up to date to the
changing time. Questions and
answers such as:
What is the newest building on
campus? The architecture, no the
biological science, no the library
may be finished by tomorrow.
Forget this question. It changes
daily.
What is the present coed en
rollment? What are their names
and addresses? What is that cute
brunette’s vital statistics? What
kind of IBM machine figured that
out?
Send now for this free booklet,
for who knows, tomorrow I might
graduate. One glorious tradition
which has seemed to have fallen
to the wayside in the past few
years to to graduate. There was
a time when you could slyly
change your major and stick
around for another try at TU on
Turkey Day. Now there seems to
be conflicting interests that make
that tradition unreliable.
So I guess it’s time for old-
timers such as Cadet Slouch and
I to go modern and move on be
fore we stand in the way of Co
educational TRADITION.
ROBINSONS
CRUSOE
By BOB ROBINSON
Have you ever felt you were a
weary traveler in the wilderness?
Dying of starvation and thirst,
you trudge on, for you know you
may eventually reach your desti
nation. Impervious to all ob
stacles, you forge your way
through. When your path is
blocked for the five hundredth
time in as many minutes, do you
throw your arms up in tortured
despair, and turn back? Do you
cry out that the world is against
you ? Or do you just sit down
and cry? Of course not. You
forge ahead, and slowly but sure
ly, you reach your destination.
Not so long ago, I found my
self in this predicament, and now,
it has turned into a daily occur-
ance. But, heedless of these
man-made forms of persecution,
I was always able to find the
right detour and make it to class
on time (on the days I was able
to get up on time).
The problem now arises —
what to do about stopping this
sinister plot of the collective
cities of Bryan, College Station,
and A&M, to destroy and disrupt
the daily activities of its citizens.
Do we just sit back and let them
continue to tear up our streets
and circles, or do we act now
and stand up for our rights as
citizens of the State of Texas, the
United States, and our local draft
boards ? But you ask, “What can
we do?” Plenty. I have done
considerable thinking on the mat
ter and have come up with pos
sible solutions:
We could revolt and take over
the respective governments, thus
moving into a position to put a
stop to the destruction, or maybe
make our own hazards.
We could sabotage the equip
ment.
We could burn our driver’s li
censes, and all subsequent tickets
received as a result of the action.
We could stage sit-ins in the
areas of destruction, thus putting
a halt to the work. This seems
to have worked pretty well else
where.
And then there’s always riot
ing. That would bring our plight
to the attention of the state and
national governments, who might
do something.
Something must be done before
we find ourselves locked in the
vicious circle caused by the man
made hazard and time killer —
the detour. For those of you who
want the easy way out, I suggest
evacuation — if you can still
find the way.

A List Of Do’s And Don’t’s For Freshmen
By JOHN HOTARD
Freshmen, take heed.
By now you have been pretty
well indoctrinated as to what to
expect at A&M. Forget it. You
have only seen the administra
tion’s standpoint. I now give
you the stahdpoint of the experi
enced student.
To begfn with, don’t worry
about a major if you don’t have
one yet. Every year A&M grad
uates X number of students in
Engineering and Y number of
students in Liberal Arts. What
they don’t tell you is that those
graduating in Engineering start
ed out in Liberal Arts and vice-
versa. Students don’t TAKE cer
tain courses to graduate; they
AVOID TAKING certain courses
to graduate. When they say
they built their academic pro
gram AROUND certain subjects,
that’s exactly what they meant.
They went around them, not
through them. So if you can’t
add two and two, forget about
engineering, because you’ll never
pass the math. If you can’t
write or speak foreign languages,
then forget about Liberal Arts.
Here is a list of do’s and don’t’s
to get you through the first
semester:
Don’t get classes on Friday
afternoon. They louse up a ter
rific weekend.
Don’t arrange your class sched
ule so that all your exams fall
on the same day at the end of the
semester.
Do arrange your exam sched
ule so that when you finish one
exam, you can sell the book to
have enough beer money to get
you through the next exam.
Don’t be fooled by recruiting
propaganda which states that
when there are dances, there are
enough girls to go around.
Don’t forget that married
coeds’ husbands are bigger than
you.
Don’t forget old Aggie pro
