Sound Off
“I think I registered for too many hours! How was I to
know our team would be this good?
Poor Aggies?
The Ags don’t stand a chance, you see
No size, speed, nor longevity
We never win, we never can
All said this, but the fightin’ 12th man.
Outscored sometimes, this is true,
But, we Aggies never lose.
Good sports we aren’t, they always say,
Poor Ags we are, in every way.
Poor or not they all take note
When we stand and rock their boat,
Its our boat too, this they should know,
We lead the conference 3 and 0.

Editor,

This letter is written in regard
to fish Gunner’s letter which ap
peared in the Battalion October
25, 1966.
First of all, I think a sopho
more in fish Gunner’s outfit, if
he is in the Corps, should inform
him that Aggies do not CHEER.
They YELL!
Secondly, I would like to meet
some of those courteous and re
spectful fish who “whip out’’ to
non-regs. I would venture a
guess that I have whipped out to
only about thirty freshmen this
semester! Needless to say, I’ve
had some of that infinite number
of fish he talked about, pass
right by me and not even speak.
As for the football games, I’ve
been surrounded by Corps and
civilians at both games and I've
heard quite a bit of yelling, even
in the second halves while we
were being pressed by TCU and
Baylor.
Also, I would like to tell this
so called “fish” that Aggies are
composed of students in the
Corps, civilians, athletes, for
eign students, and faculty. These
people all have different reasons
for being here and different ideas.
Just because these reasons or
ideas don’t coincide with some
know-it-all freshman’s who has
found out so much in the space
of two months, then this is no
reason why they should not be
called Aggies and accused of not
having pride in their school.
I’ve been an Aggie all my life.
When I enrolled at A&M in Sep
tember 1963 I had a small idea
what the Spirit was. Now that
I’ve completed three years I have

Here are 7 knotty problems
facing the Air Force:
can you help us solve one?
1. Repairs in space. If something goes
wrong with a vehicle in orbit, how can it
be fixed? Answers must be found, if large-
scale space operations are to become a
reality. For this and other assignments Air
Force scientists and engineers will be
called on to answer in the next few years,
we need the best brains available.
2. Lunar landing. The
exact composition of
the lunar surface, as
well as structural
and propulsion char
acteristics of the space
vehicle, enter into
this problem. Important study remains to
be done—and, as an Air Force officer,
you could be the one to do it!
3. Life-support biology. The filling of
metabolic needs over very extended peri
ods of time in space is one of the most
fascinating subjects that
Air Force scientists are in
vestigating. The results
promise to have vital ram
ifications for our life on
earth, as well as in outer
space.
4. Space orientation. The orbital prob
lems of a spacecraft, including its ability
to maneuver over selected points on the
earth, are of vital importance to the mili
tary utilization of space. There are plenty
of assignments for young Air Force physi
cists in this area.
6. Space propulsion. As our
space flights cover greater
and greater distances, pro
pulsion—more than any
thing else—will become the
limiting factor. New fuels *
and new propulsion tech
niques must be found, if we
are to keep on exploring
the mysteries of space. And
it may well be an Air Force
scientist on his first assign
ment who makes the big
breakthrough!
7. Pilot performance.
Important tests must still be
made to determine how the
pilots of manned aero-
spacecraft will react to
long periods away from
the earth. Of course
not every new Air
Force officer* be
comes involved in research and develop
ment right away. But where the most ex
citing advances are
taking place, young
Air Force scientists,
administrators,
pilots, and engineers
are on the scene.
A good way to start is through Air
Force ROIC. Superior students may qual
ify for Air Force scholarships. Many col
leges and universities also have a special
2-year Air Force ROTC program. For de
tails, contact your nearest Air Force rep
resentative, or mail the coupon today.

5. Synergetic plane changing. The abil
ity of a spacecraft to change altitude can
also be crucial to space operations. Where
but in the Air Force could Sc.B.'s get the
chance to work on such fascinating proj
ects right at the start of their careers?

an even better idea. When some
one says I have no pride in my
school because I’m a civilian then
I must protest! When I read the
accounter of the A&M-Baylor
game in the newspapers Sunday
morning and read what they said
about us, I had tears come to my
eyes because I was so happy and
proud. I was proud of the team,
proud of this school, and I was
proud that I have the opportuni
ty to be a part of it.
I’ve lived with the Corps, ath
letes and civilians and they all
are Aggies and they are proud
of it or else they wouldn’t be here.
To you fish Gunner, I feel
should come some advice. May
be I’m not the best one to give
it to you but I felt it must be
done. Stick around a couple
more years and see if your ideas
change any. If I haven’t set
you straight I hope someone does.
You’ll learn that an Aggie is a
MAN, no matter if he wears a
uniform, or civilian clothes, he
still is an Aggie. That’s what
makes this place GREAT!
