THE BATTALION Page 2 College Station, Texas Friday, October 21, 1966 Campus Briefs “We have a lot of material to cover today although I realize some of you are anxious to get to Waco!’ , Draft Deferment Anyone? Hopefully, those of you who planned to take the draft deferment test Nov. 18, or 19 have mailed in your application blank by now. If not, chances are that you may have to wait until next semester or hope for the possibility that another testing session will be planned later this fall. The deadline for filing an application is midnight to night. Blanks can be picked up in the registrars office until 5 p.m. Originally the test was to be given A&M students in Huntsville, but officials were able to set up a testing center here on campus for Aggies. Although the test is voluntary, students who have not taken the test are encouraged to do so in order to obtain draft deferment and complete their college education.

Now true, the Sips had come to win The last few hard fought games; And true, the Sips were tough again With many famous names. The first game left the Sips quite weak When mighty U.S.C. Came into town and sprung a leak, The Sips just said, “Oh Me!” But Indiana bit the dust, And puny Tech just quit. Then Oklahoma came to muss The Horns up just a bit. When Arkansas came tumbling in, The Texas fans said, “Great! At last we have a chance again.” Their words were slowly ate. Now half the year has come and gone, The Sips are two and three. Faces in Austin are drawn quite long, No joy is there to see. What does the future hold my friend? Just listen an I’ll tell — The reign of Texas soon will end, The mighty Sips have fell. Gary W. Shank Journalism Majors Total Increases Dr. Delbert McGuire, Journa lism department head, has an nounced an increased enrollment in the number of journalism majors. Dr. McGuire reported that at the end of the 1966 spring semes ter there were 82 Journalism majors. “After the fall enrollment was tabulated, we found that the num ber of majors had increased to 95,” the department head said. “This was a better increase, proportionately, than the entire university enrollment,” he added. He brought out that since 1964, the number of journalism majors has steadily increased. “This increase, we believe, has been brought about by the publi cations in the Southwest and the nation requesting a need for trained jounalists,” Dr. McGuire said. ★ ★ ★ Intramurals Head Sets Steak Fry Raymond L.
