Awar( J ed gg CttdetS, Fisk “It’s a rain machine that I’ve been working on this spring! Don’t breath a word of this to anyone, but I had trouble with it for a while and couldn’t get it turned off until this week! John. Me Carroll "tell you what Pd do” | Aggie jokes seemed to have died out a little this year— they’re still here of course, and for some reason they even sound a little funnier than usual. For instance: Did you hear the one about the three students who graduated with highest honors at the Univer sity of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston this year? Two of the three were Aggies. (Sure would like to know where the other doctor graduated from college . . . that might make it even funnier.) Another funny joke about A&M was on the Associated Press wire that overflows into this office frequently. It had an Austin dateline on it and what made it even more hilar ious was the way it was handled so deadpan, almost as if no one knew it was supposed to be an Aggie joke. Although I don’t think the term filibuster is used in the Texas Senate sometimes lengthy talks are given to delay action that someisenator may not wish to be passed. Accord ing to AP. Sen. W. T. Moore of Bryan obtained the floor the other day and introduced a resolution praising A&M and said he was prepared to talk at length on the resolution— he did. As more new Aggie jokes arise, it is becoming evident that even members of the Association of Former Students might want to collect and publish a book titled “Aggie Jokes, 1968 Style”. ★ ★ ★ What is this? The last time the Poultry Science Asso ciation met here was in 1934; that’s a long time to wait for such a meeting. Wonder if maybe 34 years ago someone was not as friendly to a visitor as he knew he should have been? A smile or a nod can make an impression that can last a lifetime. Let’s not make it the year 2004 for the next PSA meeting, or any other for that matter, at Texas A&M. ★ ★ ★ Hate to get started on the weather again, but it brings to mind something heard from a ’41 graduate down here for a visit. As we walked, or rather stumbled, along the buckling sidewalks and uneven concrete that seems to show up even more after a rain has softened the ground and made the structures more flexible he said: “A&M must have graduated thousands of engineers over the years and yet no one has ever been able to figure out a way to make the sidewalks lay flat on this campus.” I don’t know why, but I keep flipping back to the picture on page 6. I’ve looked at it at least 20 times and still can’t figure out who she’s dancing with .... ★ ★ ★ According to Alpha Delta Sigma President Bruce Shul- ter, the new bumper stickers put out this year by their club has an improvement. Every year it seems customers are complaining because the stickers stick too good. This year the club has adopted a new type that won’t be so hard to replace with more up-to-date ones. The bumper stickers are printed on a new type of paper to make removal easier and cleaner. Perhaps the neighbors to the west of us helped design them to prevent “bumper embarassment” again this year. Ho! Ho! Ho! . . . ★ ★ ★ A score of 13 to 6 in a baseball game sounds like a pretty action-packed contest, but one of the College Station Little League coaches said the other day that his team lost the game because they couldn’t get many hits. Surely some kind of record was set at that game on the south side of the city—it was a no-hitter. All of the “runs” were walks. Thirty-four Texas A&M Air Force ROTC cadets, including five freshmen, have been awarded Fi nancial Assistance Grants for the 1968-1969 school year.

Ma- ’64 A&M Graduate Killed In Vietnam Army 1st Lt. Colin E. (Ed) Lamb, a 1964 Texas A&M grad uate, was among military person nel killed in the crash of an Army UHLE helicopter last Wednes day in Vietnam. Lt. Col. Frederick F.

It went down in the Vai Co River in the Mekong Delta. Lieutenant Lamb’s father, of Caldwell, Idaho, said he was noti fied late last week that his son was missing in action. Later word indicated the lieutenant was a- mong those who perished in the chopper crash. Funeral services are tentatively set for Monday in Idaho.

Y. <A>> — A Long Island motorist, Herbert M. Fishman of Lindenhurst, learned that freedom of the press does not include throwing a newspaper in the face of the law. Fishman was fined $10 in Nas sau District Court for littering. The court was told that the news paper Fishman threw out his car window landed on the windshield of Patrolman Richard Russell’s patrol car.

Perry, a counselor for five years at Texas A&M, has been promoted to the new position of residence hall program advisor. Announcement of Perry’s ap pointment was made Friday by Dean of Students James P. Han- nigan. The Milwaukee, Wis., native will assume the post July 1, Han- nigan said. Perry, affiliated with A&M since 1940 when he enrolled as a freshman, was a member of the university’s Class of ’44 which entered the Army’s Officer Can didate School as a unit. He will work closely with Ed win H. Cooper, civilian student affairs director. “The position of residence hall program advisor is of great im portance as we develop new ap proaches to housing operations at A&M,” Cooper pointed out. “Mr. Perry’s excellent educa tional background and experience as a student counselor,” Cooper added, “will be invaluable in our efforts to expand spirit of co hesive unity in the civilian stu dent body.” After being discharged from the Army as a first lieutenant in 1947, Perry returned to A&M to earn a bachelor’s degree in in dustrial education. He added the master of education degree in 1955. Perry was a Brenham school teacher from 1947 to 1950 before joining A&M as military coun selor. Three years later, he be came full time staff officer for a local National Guard unit, having responsibility for training 800 of ficers and enlisted men. While on active duty in World War II, Perry was shipped to the South Pacific, where he joined thousands of Americans fighting the Japanese on Iwo Jima, Saipan and Okinawa. Asked his thoughts about Iwo Jima being returned to Japan last week, he wryly commented, “They were welcome to the place the first time I saw it!” Our Pizza Is The Best . . .
