CADET SLOUCH

“It’s still not right, fish Squirt—closer, maybe, but not
right!”
The Campus Chest
Makes Its Bid
The Student Senate Welfare Committee has a produc
tive year ahead of it—if the Moral Re-Armament League
doesn’t get to it first.
The Committee’s major project, collection of funds for
the Campus Chest, was introduced somewhat memorably
last month at the first Senate meeting. Chairman David
Howard made a brief talk on the Campus Chest’s back
ground ; then, with remarkably dead-pan innocence, he de
scribed the accompanying contest to find “Miss Campus
Chest.” While Senators muddled that one through, he
added that the slogan would be “Put Out for the Ags.”
The bemused Senate accepted that, more or less, in that
same candid spirit—with tongues tentatively in cheek. At
Tuesday’s “Kick-Off Dinner, though, the plot thickened.
Student leaders and advisors got the word, including
Howard’s report on a project like that outlined below,
which he termed a “car bust” (“We sorta saw a connection
between a ‘car bust’ and ‘Campus Chest,’ ” he pointed out,
in case anybody missed it.)
The audience loved it. Student Leaders are Ags, too,
after all. And for that matter, so are the rank and file who
will be called on to contribute—and that’s no incidental con
sideration.
All in all, the campaign shows imagination and vigor
and every indication of record success. The committee just
may have found an anti-apathy formula with truly broad
appeal.
Listen Up
Editor,
The Battalion:
This is an invitation to all Ag
gies and their dates or wives to
participate in the Walton War

SPIRIT HAPPENING will be a

car bodies placed between Walton

signs painted on them.

put a hole in the metal with
one hit, he will get one (1) extra
hit free.
Come to the SPIRIT HAPPEN

Texas Tech.
Sincerely yours,

Although this is not a sports column, it is about time
that something definite is said concerning the World Series.
The only definite thing that can be said is that nothing
definite is happening around here.
I can remember back in the old days in a West Texas
town when the World Series was just about the most im
portant even of the year. The World Series was like New
Year’s day for seven days out of the year. School might
as well have been dismissed. Intercoms blared the games and
scores were posted on bulletin boards between classes.
Everyone participated. No one ever turned down a bet
on a game. Just to be able to bet many times, a person
would bet against ‘his” team. Some days you would bet on
one team and on another day on another team just to be
able to say you were a part of “it.”
Things are sure changing. No one has that “seven-day
hearing aid” in class. No one is rushing around to get last-
minute bets for the office pool. As a matter of fact, just
about half the people I’ve talked to this year don’t even
know who is playing.
It is a sad state of affairs in this great nation when
such a pastime as baseball is overlooked in the hustle-bustle
of the world. If something is not done by next year’s Series,
there surely is something to worry about. What could come
next . . . Mom’s Rhubarb Pie?
In an attempt to further the exchange of ideas between
College Station and Austin, we reprint in its entirety a blaz
ing editorial from The Daily Texan:
“Despite the prompt action of our maintenance depart
ment in placing trash cans in the area of Hogg Auditorium,
the refuse still remains littered around the cans.
“More shouldn’t have to be said, but maybe students
could strain themselves and put their trash in the cans
provided.”
The crusading journalists from t. u. finally have stum
bled onto the solution to all their problems. Next week we
are rooting for an editorial endorsing appropriating new
funds to build a six-acre trash can to dispose of some of the
refuse who are left around the Forty Acres.

In response to the flood of cards and letters into this
office, we would like to say: “Yes, there probably are
bumper stickers available to all of you armadillo breeders.”
If you have not obtained your bumper sticker, please
send us a card or letter telling why you want one. We will
forward all requests to the Armadillo Breeders Association
International office and will let you know when and if they
will be available to you at the Battalion Office.

Sheaf fer’s big deal gets you through
29 term papers, 3 book reports, 17 exams,
52 quizzes and 6 months of homework.
Sorry about that. Sheaffer's big deal means you can
write twice as long. Because you
get the long-writing Sheaffer dollar
ballpoint plus an extra long-writing
49C refill free. All for just a dollar.
How much do you think you can
write?
The world’s longest writing dollar ballpoint pen.
