Photographer W. R. Wright YOU’RE HERE TO GET AN EDUCATION. PERIOD. With a full academic load, and maybe a job on the side, you need all the time you can find to get what you came for ... a college education. Marine Corps officer programs don’t require on-campus training. Students enrolled in Platoon Leaders Class receive their training in the summer, either in two 6-week sessions or one 10-week session. And you can enroll in PLC as early as your freshman year, concentrate on your studies and look forward to serving as an officer of Marines after college graduation. Ask a Marine.

A&M has a set of customs and tradi tions which are, for the most part, all their own. We civilians, for the record, stand by these traditions wholeheartedly, though this subject has been railed back and forth for years. However, I’m writing this to register a complaint, so here it is. I don’t know how many people BONFIRE (Continued From Page 1) Saturday morning and continue through Tuesday afternoon. The stack will then be turned over to Firemen Training Center per sonnel for fueling. Youngkin said the stack will probably be between 80 and 90 feet tall, and 100 to 150 feet in diameter. THOSE UNABLE to work on the bonfire due to physical rea sons, or anyone interested, is asked to volunteer as a guard. The guards restrict entrance to the stacking area to students who are working on the bonfire. Safe ty as well as a security is in volved. Those who desire to guard should contact Bill Ashworth at 5-5248, or go by Moore Hall (20), room 301. Youngkin cautioned students to use good judgement. “One of the few ways we could have the bonfire cancelled would be to have a bunch of accidents. Safety negligence could cost us the Aggie Bonfire.” noticed it, but at the last two A&M football games, a player of the other team has been seri ously “shaken up” or injured on the field. Now, Col. Adams and the yell leaders take every op portunity, at time-outs, to play the Aggie War Hymn—we all know this, and I believe we all take pride in singing it. But when a man is hurt on the field, it is not the time to strike up those familiar and well - loved chords. I noticed at the SMU game, when our players were hurt, it was not played, but when one of the SMU boys was hurt— ta ta ta dum, ta dum, ta dum . . . I feel that this practice is un sportsmanlike and should be dis continued.
