THE BATTALION Page 2 College Station, Texas Thursday, November 30, 1967 Aggies At The Helm It looked extremely rocky for the Texas Ags that day; The score now stood at 7-3, with 12 minutes left to play. The Horns had near the Aggie goal amid the Tesip roar, And Bradley took it from the two for the only Texas score. But no one there got up to leave, for all the fans knew well The Aggie offense could explode and break through the fiery hell. The Sips then kicked across the goal—“To the twenty,” said the ref. An Ag pass sailed down incomplete—just three more downs were left. Then from the saddened Aggie stands—went up a joyous sound It rumbled through the stadium; it rattled in the town. Never was heard a louder noise, never a yell so fine; The Aggies, Mighty Aggies, once again approached the line. There was ease in the Aggies’ manners as they stepped up to the ball, There was pride in the Aggies’ bearing as they waited for the call; And when responding to the yells, Hargett simply raised his hands, And a deathly eerie silence settled gently on the stands. Eighty thousand eyes were on him as he crouched to make his call; Forty thousand tongues applauded when Jack Kovar snapped the ball. He dropped back in his pocket, and the fans looked on with awe. Defiance gleamed in Hargett’s eye; determination set his jaw. And then the leather-covered sphere went hurtling through the air And Bob Long stood a-watching it in haughty grandeur there. Into this wingback’s sturdy arms the ball unheeded sped; A Teasip tried to catch him then, but Bob was way ahead. From the benches, stacked with people, there came a mighty roar Like the beating of the storm waves on the stern and distant shore. “GO LONG! GET THE TOUCHDOWN!” came the deep cry from the stands. And over he went, across the goal, untouched by Teasip hands. All hell broke loose upon the field; the Ags led 10-7, But this game wasn’t over ’til they stopped the Sip Eleven. Eleven minutes also showed upon the scoreboard clock Before this game was over, on the goal the Horns would knock. But like so many times this season, when the opponents had the call, The Mighty Aggie defense rose and took away the ball. Twice the Longhorns got the ball; twice Bradley threw the lobs One was stole by Adami, and one by Billy Hobbs. Time was running out when Texas got the ball once more; A fourth-down pass would win the game, a pass would let them score. Bradley faded back to pass, he found Tom Higgins clear; Higgins went up—he caught the ball! The ball game ended here. On somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright, The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light; And somewhere crowds are cheering—that somewhere is right here. Higgins landed out of bounds. The Mighty Ags had held the Steers.

Read Classifieds Daily Major C. K. Simmons of the Commandent’s Office announced plans Wednesday to outline the opportunities and advantages af forded to participants in the Army or Air Force ROTC pro grams to students not now en rolled in the program. “By law every able-bodied male citizen of the United States has an obligation to contribute to National Defense. The college- educated man can best serve his country by earning a commission and fullfilling his obligation as a commissioned officer,” Sim mons said. “The opportunity is stil avil- able to most students who are currently enrolled in Texas A&M to receive a commission in the United States Armed Forces by enrolling in the ROTC Program. If you are not now taking ROTC and you are interested in obtaining a commission please feel free to come by and talk with one of the Army or Air Force Officers currently assigned to Texas A&M located at the MSC on Tuesday, December 5, from 10 to 2, and at the North Gate Post Office Thursday, Dec. 7 from 10 to 2. Or, you are en couraged to come by the Military Science Building and contact any Army or Air Force officer about the programs available” he added. Californians are a strange bunch. They seem to spearhead a group which lies-in, loves-in sleeps-in, sits-in, talks-in, swims-in, surfs-in, and at times have idolized “high-head” peddlers such as Timothy Leary, LSD advocate, who advised young people to “tune in. turn on, and drop out.” But as Bob Dylan once wrote for a song, “the times they are a changin’,” and apparently Leary has decided to “drop out” and change also. Leary, who lives in Laguna Beach, and married two weeks ago, has decided to give up his work with the “League for Spiritual Discovery,” a group he founded. “LSD when properly used, is a sacrament aimed to produce love of God and man ” Leary said. Leary condemned young people for abusing the use of psychedelic drugs, and use for “selfish kicks.” Maybe the use of drugs is on the way out, but there are so many psychotic and “just for kicks” cases that an other California family has already thought of a new way to retreat from the world, and apparently with great success. Robert Holt, 36, and eight other relatives have turned a rented home in a Los Angeles suburb into a fortress against the world. They closed the doors and drew the curtains in April, and have lived there without lights or heat ever since. At first they talked with people through a broken window, now no one receives a reply from inside. Utilities have been turned off, mail has been stopped, and nobody knows how the group gets food. When the Holt girls didn’t appear for school in Septem ber, a judge ordered them to appear. Failing to do so, warrants have been issued for the parents arrest. But the house still remains a mystery, and the people inside vow they won’t come out “until God instructs us to.” The problem is not that Leary is now turned off, or that Haight-Ashbury hippies are still turned on, or that an entire family has retreated from reality, nor really that! they happen to be Californians. The real question to be answered which yet goes un answered is “Why ?” Bulletin Hoard THURSDAY The Galveston Island Hon*, town Club at 7:30 p.m. in the An Room of the Memorial Studer; Center.
