CADET SLOUCH
by Jim Earle
Senator Appoints Aggie
To Air Force Academy
Sound Off
Texas A&M sophomore Doug
las *M. Scott of Port Neches has
received an appointment through
Senator Ralph Yarborough to the
Air Force Academy.
A twin who rooms with his
brother David, Douglas is a cadet
corporal in the White Band.
“Goodbye,” David remarked
when the senator’s telegram an
nouncing the appointment came.
“I’ll take your coat, pants and
other parts of the uniform that
fit. And you needn’t burden your
self with the rug and curtains.”
Scott reports to the Colorado
Springs, Colo., school June 26
and will face four years school
ing at the Academy, though his
70 semester hours at A&M will
be credited.
“I hope to complete a graduate
degree before I graduate,” the
brown-haired math major said.
“I wanted to go to the Aca
demy for two reasons,” the twin
added. “I’d like to make the Air
Force a career, and it provides a
chance to make the twin break
and still stay in the military.”
Doug and Dave have followed
virtually identical tracks since
they were at Port Nuchcs-Groves
High. Both were in the band,
played basketball and came to
A&M.
As freshmen last year, they
were tagged “Twiddly-dee (Doug
plays the flute and piccolo) and
Twidd’y-dum” (David plays the
bass horn). In three semesters,
Doug has posted an overall 2.88
grade point ratio (straight A’s
at A&M are 3.0). His brother has
collected three more grade points,
for a 2.9 GPR. Both are mathe
matics majors.
The brothers were counselors
c -
“Actually, it’s a fake, but I haven’t gotten a room inspec
tion demerit since I hung it!”
Phi Kappa Phi Sets Initiation
For 139 Juniors, Seniors
at a YMCA camp at Estes Park,
Colo., and both are fanatical golf
ers. Doug shoots in the low
90s, Dave in the high 80s.
“Colonel Adams (Lt. Col. E.
V. Adams, A&M band director)
designated us on his marching
charts as fish Scott flute and fish
Scott bass,” Doug noted.
“Actually, we didn’t look too
much alike until we put on the
uniform,” he added, explaining
that band members distinguish
them by different wrist watch
bands.
Doug is a member of Phi Eta
Sigma, freshman honor society;
the YMCA and talent committee,
A&M Methodist Church Student
Council and a Distinguished Stu
dent three semesters.
The twins are the sons of Mrs.
Emmy Lou M. Scott, 1220 Eugene,
Port Neches. They were born
at West Point where their father,
the late Maj. Ralph M. Scott,
taught and was graduated in
1943. He served in the Air F'orce
11 years and settled in Port
Neches in 1956.
Aggieland Enters
The ‘Time Zone ’
The annual initiation ceremon
ies of the Texas A&M Chapter of
Phi Kappa Phi is set May 9 in
the A&M Memorial Student Cen
ter Assembly Room.
The chimes at the Memorial Student Center are ring
ing out it’s 7 o’clock, but your alarm clock says that it’s only
six, and that Sunday morning sun “just ain’t came up yet!
What’s the matter?”
“Oh yeah, today’s the day they go on Daylight Saving
Time.”
The day begins.
You miss breakfast because you waited ’til the last
minute to decide to go, and when you get there you find
you’ve forgotten about the time change again and they’re
just closing up.
You get to church just in time to hear the last few
words of the sermon because you hadn’t set your watch
ahead that extra hour, but that really isn’t so bad, ’cause
everyone else had set their watches back an hour and didn’t
get to church until an hour after the services were over.
At Easterwood, six people missed the same plane flight
to Dallas that eight people had waited for over an hour.
“The noon news didn’t come on ’til one, or was it two ?”
That 2 o’clock phone call to a girlfriend back home
didn’t go through ’cause the girlfriend thought it was just
1 o’clock and she was still out getting a coke with that other
guy.
At evening chow nearly 50 students stood outside an
hour waiting for the lines to open, ’cause they’d missed
breakfast and lunch and thought for sure it was ’cause they
were supposed to set the clocks BACK and hour, or WAS
it forward ?
That favorite TV western musta come on a hour early
’cause all you got to see was the closing credits. “What’s
going on anyway?”
Give up and go to North Gate for a pizza? Nope, that’s
been closed for more than two hours.
Enter Monday morning—or is it Tuesday morning?
—W. G.
Dr. A. B. Wooten, president of
the national scholastic honor so
ciety, said 139 initiates, mostly
juniors and seniors, will be in
ducted. The A&M Chapter has
130 members.
Dr. Wooten said junior initiates
must have minimum grade point
ratios of 2.5, while seniors are
required to have minimum 2.25
GPRs. Graduate and faculty
members must be nominated and
elected by chapter members.
Speaker for the 6:30 p.m. ban
quet is Dr. Frank Vandiver, Mas-
terson Distinguished Professor of
History at Rice University. He
will discuss “That Elusive Civil
War.” .
Dr. A. M. (Tony) Sorenson,
banquet committee chairman, said
those who plan to attend should
purchase tickets by May 2. Wives
and husbands of Phi Kappa Phi
members and initiates are in
vited.

Editor;
The Battalion:
Dear Sir;
Well, they’re at it again, Those
idiots are having another “dem
onstration.” This makes me sick.
How any one can be so stupid
is beyond me.
The people in the “demonstra
tion” don’t realize that they won’t
accomplish anything except giv
ing A&M a bad name which it
doesn’t deserve. I guess that
you can’t really tell how much
you like a school until something
like this happens to open your
eyes. I never knew how much I
loved this school until last night
and tonight (Thursday night).
If the idiots wanted to do some
thing about their gripes they
should have gone to the polls to
day and elected responsible lead
ers to the Student Senate. I
haven’t participated in either
“demonstration” and I am proud
of it. I feel sorry for anyone
that has because they don’t rea
lize what they are doing.
I agree with what they are
“demonstrating” against but not
the way they are going about it.
Maybe I am old-fashioned but
that is the way I feel.
Sincerely,
Jim Grimes ’70

said the course was the first of
its type to be offered in the
United States.

industrial development programs
of various dimensions,” Bradley
commented.

Henry Lee Graves, Aggie Rodeo
Club secretary, said the rodeo is
approved by the National Inter
collegiate Rodeo Association (NI-
RA). Points awarded here will
be used in selecting winners in
the national finals.
Trophies will be awarded to
both high point boy and girl
teams. Buckles will go to in
dividual winners in each event,
best all-round boy and best all
round girl.
Contractor Frank Harris of

the entire NIRA Southern Region,
and 15-20 schools are expected to

Bradley noted several schools
are offered for professional or
veteran industrial development
specialists, but the A&M school
is the first to hold formal course
in basic industrial development
adult education.

ment Council, the Texas Indus
trial Commission were co-spon
sors for the school hosted by

“Hey, good-looking fellows like me.
You owe it to your public wherever you go to take along
the Norelco Rechargeable. A single charge gives
you twice as many shaves as any other rechargeable
on the market. Enough for a fun-filled fortnight.
And Microgroove heads are 35% thinner to give you
a shave that’s 35% closer. Without nicking or
pinching or marring your breathtaking features!’
P.S.: Work! wilh or without a plug. Has pop up trimmer and on/ofl switch, too.
Hey, fellows, it’s the new Tripleheader 35T. A close, Norelco
shave with nearly 40% more speed. Pop-up trimmer, too.
The Norelco Cordless ‘Flip-Top’ 20B (not shown) shaves
anywhere on just 4 penlight batteries. Now with conveni
ent battery ejector, Microgroove heads and rotary blades.

“We won’t pay, we won’t pay!"
Funny that each one of then
could be so weak individually, ye;
so courageous collectively. Bull
guess in our day and age wkti
student demonstrations are pop
ular and common, it is no small
wonder that the weak would taf
along like sheep, bleating tkeii
slogans till they become bluei:
the face.
The unexplainable paradox ti
the whole situation is this: Wkete
are these demonstrators on elet.
tion day when their votes are I*,
ing counted ? Are not they tk
ones who were too busy to volt,
yet were readily available to tala
part in a demonstration? Wk
is this student body going to lean
that it can accomplish infinitely
more through its elected repre
sentatives in one day than ii;
the ruckus and hell we could raise
in a semester?
Let’s bring our “demonstration' mui ^
to the polls and elect the man4;
will carry out our desires!
