Poor Manners ^Turning Aggie Tide’
In the crowd that flowed into campus streets and
sidewalks after Saturday night’s ballgame were several
people, obviously not students of A&M, who wandered onto
the lawn adjoining the Memorial Student Center. Not
knowing it is a memorial to Aggies who died for their
country, they did not realize their mistake until it was
too late.
As soon as one alert Aggie spotted them, he shouted
that they should immediately “get off” the grass. He
was soon joined by a half-dozen other students shouting
various uncomplimentary statements about the severity
of their transgression.
The silent visitors were completely humiliated.
It is true that Aggies hold these grounds in high
respect, but they mean nothing to those hot aquainted with
our campus.
This was a case of extremely poor manners on the
part of the Aggies involved. Let’s be more respectful to
our visitors and leave them with a better impression of
our student body.

Man, what a year. This is the
year of the “Turning Aggie
Tide.” Everyone is getting a
chance to become better acquaint
ed with their dates at football
games, and guess what—we, the
Aggies, even returned a sym
bolic mascot that we didn’t take
in the first place. It was the
head of the TCU “Horned Frog”
costume. An Aggie senior ob
tained the head from high school
students who had gotten it by
dubious means.
Returning the head to the rest
of the costume was quite a treat;
the TCU “Frog is not a male frog
She’s cute, too!
Turning to matters in a more
serious vein, the Student Senate
has a couple of things on its
mind. The first of which is our
Campus Chest, which apparently
no one knows anything about. It
is a fund that comes under the
auspices of the Senate and is to
be used for the benefit of de
serving Aggies. By deserving,
we mean a person who is in dire
financial straits because of an
illness in the family or because he

amount of funds to continue his
education. Don Allen, Student
Welfare chairman, handles the
problems of this nature. If you
have a problem such as this, let
us try to help. That’s what your
Campus Chest is for.
Next on the agenda is our cur
rent telephone problem. Many
people have been asking about
the service, or lack of it, that our
campus has been receiving. At
the next Student Senate meeting
there will be a representative
from the phone company present.
He is going to shed some light
on just exactly what our prob
lems are and what is being done
to alleviate them.
Remember the Campus Chest.
Let’s go beat Baylor and win
the Southwest Conference. See
you at the football game.

Headlines’
OCTOBER 19, 1966 at 8 P. M.
The outstanding CBS news commentator was assigned to Vietnam
for the critical summer months of 1966, Well known for his radio
and TV coverage of the United Nations for CBS News, during
his stay he got to know at first hand the people of Vietnam, their
problems and how they are solving them. He talked with military
and political leaders, and also spent considerable time in s'ide-
by-side, day-by-day living with combat GI’s.

SPEAKING ON
‘World Around Us’
He has jeeped through Viet Nam villages, met with the Vietnam
ese people in cities and hamlets; interviewed their leaders; faced
the crossbows of the primitive and unpredicatable Montagnards.
The story behind the headlines is portrayed in color film of his
torical significance. Mr. Armstrong points out that only through
deeper knowledge of the people, their history, religion and
customs, can one understand the events in this chaotic area.

finally buried by an advancing lava flow.

ONCE MORE UNTO THE BREACH
Way back in 1953 I started writing this column about
campus life. Today, a full 13 years later, I am still writing
this column, for my interest in undergraduates is as keen
and lively as ever. This is called “arrested development!’
But where else can a writer find a subject as fascinating
as the American campus ? Where else are minds so nettled,
bodies so roiled, psyches so unglued ?
Right now, for example, though the new school year has
just begun, you’ve already encountered the following dis
asters :
1. You hate your teachers.
2. You hate your courses.
3. You hate your room-mates.
4. You have no time to study.
5. You have no place to study.
Friends, let us, without despair, examine your problems
one by one.
1. You hate your teachers. For shame, friends! Try
looking at things their way. Take your English teacher,
for instance. Here’s a man who is one of the world's
authorities on Robert Browning, yet he wears $30 tweeds
and a pre-war necktie while his brother Sjim, a high school
dropout, earns 70 thou a year in aluminum siding. Is it so
hard to understand why he writes “F” on top of your
themes and “Eeeyich!” in the margin? Instead of hating
him, should you not admire his dedication to scholarship,
his disdain for the blandishments of commerce? Of course
you should. You may flunk, but Pippa passes.
2. You hate your courses. You say, for example, that
you don’t see the use of studying Macbeth when you are
majoring in veterinary medicine. You’re wrong, friends.
Believe me, some day when you are running a busy kennel,
you’ll be mighty glad you learned “Out, damned Spot!”
3. You hate your room-mates. This is, unquestionably,
a big problem—in fact, the second biggest problem on
American campuses. (The first biggest, of course, is on
which side of your mortar board do you dangle the tassel
at Commencement?) But there is an answer to the room
mate problem; keep changing room-mates. The optimum
interval, I have found, is every four hours.
4. You have no time to study. Friends, I’m glad to re
port there is a simple way to find extra time in your busy
schedule. All you have to do is buy some Personna Super
Stainless Steel Blades. Then you won’t be wasting pre
cious hours hacking away with inferior blades, mangling
your face again and again in a tedious, feckless effort to
winnow your whiskers. Personna shaves you quickly and
slickly, easily and breezily, hacklessly, scrapelessly, tug-
lessly, nicklessly, scratchlessly, matchlessly. Furthermore,
Personna Blades last and last. Moreover, they are avail
able both in double-edge and Injector style. And, as if this
weren’t enough, Personna is now offering you a chance to
grab a fistful of $100 bills. The Personna Super Stainless
Steel Sweepstakes is off and running! You can win $10,000
and even more. Get over to your Personna dealer for de
tails and an entry blank. Don’t just stand there!
5. You have no place lo study. This is a thorny one, I’ll
admit, what with the library so jammed and the dorms so
noisy. But with a little ingenuity, you can still find a quiet,
deserted spot—like the ticket office of the lacrosse team.
Or a testimonial dinner for the dean. Or the nearest re
cruiting station.
i n
You see, friends? When you’ve got a problem, don’t lie
down and quit. Attack! Remember: America did not be
come the world’s greatest producer of milk solids and
sorghum by running away from a fight!

The makers of Personna Super Stainless Steel Blades
