CADET SLOUCH
Air Force ROTC Grants

“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!

"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.

UHLE helicopter last Wednes
day in Vietnam.

The craft was struck by Viet

survey. It went down in the Vai

Howard Perry Named Advisor
For Residence Hall Programs

3523 Texas Ave. (in Ridgecrest) 846-3708
Howard S. 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!”
