Rev I Tombstone
Needs Replacement
Nearly every student knows that Reveille
I is buried near the north end of Kyle Field
where she can always see the scoreboard.
Most Ag-gies, however, don’t realize she was
buried in the open space north of the pink
garnite T Memorial at the entrance to the
stadium.
So last spring freshmen from Company
E-2, the unit charged with keeping the Aggie
mascot, decided a tombstone would be ap
propriate at the precise spot where Rev I was
buried in 1944.
So the fish chipped in, bought a marker
and placed it at the gravesite last May.
A noble gesture, except for one thing.
They misspelled Rev’s name.
Now it’s not very likely an Aggie' fish,
held responsible for reams of campusology
information, would not know how to spell
the name of the official mascot.
Perhaps the dealer who engraved the
stone wasn’t an Aggie fan and decided to
play a little joke on the fish.
But regardless of the reason for the mis
hap, Reveille I deserves an accurate replace
ment.
SENATE
SHORTS
By BARNEY FUDGE
Student Senate President
While the Aggies are return
ing ‘fdr another school' yd'ar full
of activity, there are several
things that should be brought to
the forefront of your attention.
First, though, let me welcome
each student to, our university,
especially those who are coming
for the first time. You newcom
ers, you “fish,” are facing the
most rewarding years of your
life — your years here at Aggie-
land.
As everyone knows by now
Reveille II has been put to rest.
Those closest to her at the end
realized it would be inhumane to
let her go on living in dire pain
as she had been for several years.
We all loved her and will miss
her.
The Student Senate would like
to take this opportunity to voice
its support of the Student Health
Service and Insurance Program.
In order to enroll contact Mutual
of Omaha, Box 3849, Bryan. The
R. M. Jackson Agency is the act
ing benefit office for those who
are interested in this fine, per
sonal injury policy.
In the coming year the Student
Senate president’s office will be
open each Tuesday and Thursday
moi’ning from 8-10 or any other
time by appointment. Drop in
with your problems, your sugges
tions or just to say hello.

More Than Just
An Education
Every one of us here at Texas
A&M is here for more than just
an education. We’re here to gain
freedom as well.
Not freedom from outside
oppression but from the oppres
sion that each of us brings
upon ourselves. Before coming
here most of us lived a very nar
row, static, sheltered life. Our
experiences were limited. We
lived a life of acceptance without
questioning, doing without ask
ing and receiving without pay
ing. In living this singular life
we have missed the opportunity
to free ourself from our sur-
Become excited about this chance
and take advantage of it from the
beginning, for time is precious.
As this time goes by learn the
professors that are interested in
teaching rather than merely in
structing and then weigh their
ideas against your own to reach
the truth. These men can’t give
you the freedom you seek but
they hold the key that unlocks the
door. Work hard learning the
facts that are put before you
and keep in mind that “ignorance
is the curse of God.”
Most of all, don’t let yourself
become a blind follower who does
LOOK!

roundings, but now a new begin

In order to take advantage of
our best chance at freedom one
must enter college foremost with
an open and objective mind. We
must sweep away the prejudices,
half truths and misconceptions
that we have previously acquired.

he is going. Work to learn so
that you will not have to depend
upon others’ knowledge, and
strive to become creative so that
you will not have to depend on
the ideas of others. Remember
that the chains of bondage can be
made of more than steel.

You've made a mockery of your

You're a vegetable.
Protest, Wallace Middendorp.
Take a stand. Make a noise!
Or drink Sprite, the noisy soft

Open a bottle of Sprite at
the next campus speak-out. Let
it fizz and bubble to the
masses.
Let its lusty carbonation
echo through the halls of ivy.
Let its tart, tingling
exuberance infect the crowd
with excitement.
Do these things, Wallace
Middendorp. Do these things,
and what big corporation is
going to hire you?
