Aggies Should Be
Good Sports Too
By CHARLES ROWTON
Students who want govern
ment jobs this summer can quali
fy as seasonal assistants in Unit
ed States Post Offices, according
to recent announcement from the
United States Civil-Service Com
mission.
Requirements for these posi
tions are passing a one-hour writ
ten test, driving ability in some
cases, and being 18 years old.
High school graduates over 16
may also apply. Applicants who
passed the Examination for Post
Office Summer Jobs for 1966 do
not need to take the test again.
The Post Office Department
hires seasonal assistants for
temporary employment during
the summer to assist their perma
nent employes. They are also
hired to assist with the Christ
mas rush and other busy times.
The jobs may be part-time ox-
full-time, depending on the needs
of the individual post office.
W. S. EDMONDS, superintend
ent of the post office station at
the Memorial Student Center,
said that most of the jobs in
volved separating mail or other
basic work that anyone could do.
Some of the positions do require
the operation of post office ve
hicles. Renumeration is at the
rate of $2.44 an hour for the job
which is rated at level PFS-3
under the Civil Service system of
rating.
We’re embarrassed.
After Tuesday’s editorial regarding Southwest Con
ference Sportsmanship Trophy winner, Texas U., and its
student misbehavior at their recent Tech basketball game,
we appear to be the “pot casing the kettle black.”
During Tuesday’* game with the Longhorns, A&M
students put on a most embarrassing performance.
Texas players were corrstantly heckled. The referees
were booed and paper cups were thrown at them. This
is not the way Aggies are expected to act.
Even though the rivalry at a t.u. ballgame is so in
tense that it brings near chaos, we should not forget that
it is our responsibility to conduct ourselves in a sports-
man-like manner.
Most Aggies don’t realize what the Sportsmanship
Trophy means, simply because it has been so long since
A&M has won it. To be a good sport in both victory and
defeat is a virture that seems to be losing its place in today’s
world.
The Aggies may have won the game on the court,
but we lost in the stands due to those who have forgotten
that while being an Aggie, they must also be good sports.

uct and a satisfied customer,”
said David A. Crellin, Ford Motor
Company public relations field

to the plant employee.”
Crellin has been field office

two years and made his third
appearance here Wednesday. He
