THE BATTALION

CADET SLOUCH

‘As best I can figure, his no-sleep medicine didn’t work!”
‘tell you why he didn’t
In reply to a veritable flood of inquiries as to why John
McCarroll’s column, “tell you what i’d do,” hasn’t appeared
yet this week, we’d like to explain that John just hasn’t
been in a column-writing mood since last Friday afternoon,
when he was rushed to St. Joseph Hospital in Bryan for
an appendectomy.
We talked to John on the telephone last night and were
relieved to learn that he’s off that Jello-and-celery-soup diet
(“Jello soup is bad enough,” he mused, “but when they mix
it with celery it gets downright revolting”) that the hospital
had him on earlier in the week. He was released Tuesday,
by the way, and presumably is still at large.
Being well acquainted with John’s capacity for witty
responses to any situation, we could just imagine how he’d
respond to our queries about the experience: “Well, John,
did everything come out all right? Ha, ha, ha. . .” “Yeah,
they had me in stitches,” he might say, or “It only hurts
when I laugh.” Actually, it took quite a bit of coaxing and
bad punning to get him to refer to it all as a “side-splitting
experience,” and then his heart didn’t really seem to be in it.
Or at least his appendix wasn’t. Hope they didn’t remove his
funnybone by mistake.

said, “and the activity was well
received. We plan another for
the Rice game.”
Roger Knapp, Moore hall (20)
president, said that his hall was
planning to give a basket of food
to a needy family for Thanks
giving.
The Dining Hall Committee
met last Thursday, reported chair
man Jack MacGillis. Items dis
cussed, he said, included sand
wich line operation, thoroughness
of dishwashing, and installation
of more bookshelves.
JOE TIJERINA, Day Student
Action Committee chairman, said
that the day students had held
two meetings, with a poor turn
out both times.
“We’re having another meet
ing next Wednesday night,” he
said, “and I hope people will real
ly turn out.”
Wilks then told the Council
that A&M President Earl Rud
der had acted favorably on a
Council resolution concerning
parking lot lights. Temporary
lights would be installed, he said,
until the permanent lights that
had been ordered arrived.
A discussion o n intramural
rules followed, with many ex
pressing discontent with the pre
sent interpretation of them. The
meeting concluded with the ap
pointment of Andy Walne, chair
man, Earyl Roddy, Mike Durham,
and Randall Jean as members of
a committee to look into the sit
uation.

Part of this year’s homecoming
at Washington State University
was a hamburger-eating contest.
It was won by Chip Mills, who
devoured 19. At tu, Italian in
structor Alessandro Andreoni won
the lasagna-eating contest by
downing three pounds of the
stuff. Meanwhile, though the bat
tle at A&M has been over for a
year, the “cow”-drinking cham
pionship is presently being shared
by Steve Mandry and Bill (Bear)
Bayne, with 17 bottles of milk
each. The record is still being
contested by other NCAA mem
bers, however, because of tech
nicalities such as where the dra
matic end of the contest came
about (some say that the two
should have had to make it out
of the mess-hall first).

Goldie, the groovy chick on
Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In, has
agreed to become the honorary
“housemother” of the Sigma Phi
Epsilon frat, at TCU. You don’t
suppose Raquel Welch would like
to be “honorary C.O.” of Trojan
12, do you?

Campus cops at tu are going
to radar to catch speeders now.
They evidently have bigger prob
lems, though, since five girls
were assaulted on campus last
weekend. An interesting note—
at OU, students are evidently
more finicky about slang. They
refer to the “KKs” as “CCs.”
The university’s (Texas U.)
director of the Division of Hous
ing and Food Service staunchly
defended his Commons Cafeteria
and Chuck Wagon, against which
there has been directed a great
deal of student discontent recent
ly. Blaming the seeming poor
quality of the food on “the atmos
phere and physical conditions,” he
further stated “I don’t know of
anyone of the 165 staff members
who would consciously do a bad
job.” Man, what a terrific bunch.
With cats like that . . . !

The University of Minnesota
is starting its Free University
series with a film on transcenden
tal meditation. The series of non
credit courses is based on deci
sions made by the students who
enroll who decide what would
be most beneficial to themselves.
The writer of one Minnesota
sports column shows even less
patience than most when it comes
to a football team that seems to
be performing at a below-peak
level. Some quotes — “At least,
Minnesota’s mono-play system
eases the load on the offensive
players; they have a very thin
playbook to haul around all
week.” “The field is tilted and
the Gophers always are running
up it.” “The game (this weekend)
shapes up as one in which ‘the
Gophers will try to match their
size and strength against the
superior speed of the Boilermak
ers.’ Ho-hum!”

SMU students are fed up with
the required P.E. system, and
suggest that the initiation of a
pass-fail system within the P.E.

At coed schools (no offense,
really, I just mean real coed
schools), the big sports event is
girls' football, sponsored and
coached by boys from residence
halls or fraternities. At the Uni
versity of Houston, the big spec
tacular of this season took place
last Friday. It was the “second
annual OB Gangbanger Beauty
Bowl,” which pitted the Awful
Lawfuls (coeds from Law Hall)
against the Bates Bods (coeds
from Bates Hall), according to
the Daily Cougar. Highlight of
the festivities was halftime, when
the new queen was “crowned”
by last year’s beauty, Modine
Guntch. The new queen was pre
sented with what was “apparent
ly OB Cafeteria lettuce. It was
poured over her head.”

An OU columnist predicted
Texas will play in this year’s
Cotton Bowl. He qualified his
prediction with the statement,
“This is based on the remaining
games in the SWC schedule—not
on my desire to see Darryl Royal
and his bunch of babbling idiots.”

Robert Turley.
“THEY WERE chosen from
about 60 applicants,” Lesser add
ed. “We believe we got the best
students available to participate
in this year’s conference.”
Two three - member selection
committees made the delegate
choices. The first committee was
composed of YMCA Coordinator
Logan Weston, Associate Profes
sor of Architecture W. W. Harper,
and Patrick G. Rehmet.
Dr. Auston Kerley, Counseling
and Testing Center director,
Frank Nicholas, staff assistant
to the Commandant, and Frank
Tilley made up the second selec
tion group.
CHAIRMAN OF Special Pro
grams Bruce Baxter explained
that the purpose of the Seminar
is to orient the SCONA workers,
advisers, and A&M delegates on
the topic of this year’s confer
ence, “The Limits and Respon
sibilities of U. S. Power.”
“ALL DELEGATES, as well
as recorders and hosts, are ex
pected to be at each of the three
meetings,” Lesser stated. “We are
also hoping for as many SCONA
Committee personnel as possible.
“The meetings will consist of
a talk by one of the professors
for about 30 minutes to be fol
lowed by a question and answer
period of from 30 to 45 minutes.”
The 25 A&M delegates will be
part of the largest group of
students yet in attendance at a
SCONA meet. The Dec. 4-7 con
ference is expected to attract
about 150 delegates. Depending
upon attendance, there will either
be eight or nine roundtables.
“Already 112 students have
been confirmed as delegates be
sides those from A&M,” Lesser
commented. “The largest number
in the past was 105 outside dele
gates.”
