' THE BATTALION Pag-e 2 College Station, Texas Wednesday, November 15, 1967 CADET SLOUCH Percussion Sounds On t. u. Drum Head T’was two week after Halloween, and all through the Southwest conference not a creature was stiring, not even a mouse (well, maybe at t.u.) It seems the phantom fish and the ghosts of ole sarge are supposedly after t.u.’s massive drum “Big Bertha,” or so the Longhorns say. An Associated Press story Tuesday said an Aggie trio claimed to have stolen Big Bertha’s drum head in a sneak attack Sunday night. Shades of Edgar Allen Poe, as t.u.’s Band Director Vincent R. DiNino said an old drum head made from the skin of a longhorn steer was the only thing missing from the band hall, and A&M’s Dean Hannigan said Tuesday there was no indication that any Aggies were involved. Of course both schools were quick to point out that students partcipating in such shenanigans would face the maximum penalty (capital punishment is on the way out) — suspension. We would hope then that students confine their activi ties toward constructive purposes, and leave any wall paint ing or mascot stealing to other Southwest conference schools. For even an Aggie on his best behavior cannot win that elusive sportsmanship trophy, or so it seems these past two years. by Jim Earle Bulletin Board “Being your first bonfire you won’t understand the signifi cance of this!” In the past, several Southwest Conference mascots have fallen to Aggie craftsmanship, but just as Old Army has charged, so have the rules governing this type of rivalry. Smith Urges Educational Progress With our present football team, we should be able to make Rice and t.u. eat their hats more than once on the playing field. For it’s more satisfying to watch a Longhorn squad decisively stopped by Aggie determination than by being in hot soup throughout the state over a drum head or a horned cow. Let’s make sure we confine our activities to a display of support by the world’s biggest bonfire, and the confer ence’s loudest and proudest 12th man. ANDREWS DP) _ Lt. Gov. Preston Smith said Tuesday much remains to be done for Texas to have excellence in education. Smith, a candidate for gover nor, spoke at a Rotary and Lions club luncheon during a tour of four West Texas towns. He at tended receptions in Tahoka and Lamesa and scheduled a stop in Seminole for a 3 p.m. reception. He planned a 7:30 p.m. speech to the Methodist Men’s Club here.
