CADET SLOUCH by Jim Earle Better behavior needed Saturday night’s victory was the best way possible to start a football season. We are proud of the team, and commend the mem bers and coach Gene Stallings for the fine game they played. It is truely unfortunate the Aggies did, in a sense, lose that night. The incidents were fairly minor, but significant enough to warrant comment. Some students watching the game seemed to think it was necessary to make frequent references to the masculinity of the officials or of the opposing team’s members. Obscene language and corps slang also seemed to find their way into the yelling of some people. All this even with women present. What a way to present a good image of A&M and its students, one of a gentlemanly student body, courteous and respectful to others. We do not for one minute mean to keep anyone from having a good time, or to condemn school pride and spirit, but we do feel it can be shown without resort to the language used. During the half, when the senior line formed, we were treated to an example of the backward thinking of some individuals on campus. At least one coed was seen running out to form the line, and one Ag was heard to mutter something to the effect that she should stay in the stands where she belonged, and stay out of the line. He, like many others, just doesn’t realize women now are part of A&M too, and are just as much Aggies as anyone. They, too, enjoy and wish to participate in our traditions. It is a fact some might try and accept. Maybe the next home game will be different, as far as crowd behavior goes; we hope so. For now, let’s beat the hell out of LSU.

This year we have moved it to the Prince Murat Inn, 1480 Nicholson Drive, which is about five to ten minutes from the LSU campus.

Although we agree the picture (on page 3) was in poor taste, we also feel it is unfair to acuse the student body of being immature. Evi dently, Miss Bath has never lived in a dorm, or she would realize the “foolishness” that occurs dur ing frequent attacks of boredom. As for her comment concerning dating Aggies, we feel she won’t have to worry about this “prob lem’ ’after her letter. Betty Piwonka ’71 Sandy Isbaell ’73 ★ ★ ★ Editor: We are constantly reminded of the many traditions which have become a large part of Texas A&M University. However, I am afraid that one of the finest tra ditions of A&M is quickly becom ing a thing of the past. Six years ago, I came as a visitor to Texas A&M and was immediately impressed with the friendliness of the Aggies. Four years ago, I entered Texas A&M as a student. The Aggie tradition of saying “hello” to each other as they met on the sidewalk was one contributing factor. I person ally enjoyed saying “hello” to the people I met. However, during the past four years, as each year passed, I have consistantly received fewer “howdies” in my response to my “howdy,” and recently three fish nearly ran me down without even saying an unfriendly “get out of the way.” I am a civilian student and really don’t mind that fish no longer whip out, for I realize many civilian students have given corps fish a hard time whenever they do whip out. Maybe more civilians should whip out to those in the corps and there would be less tension between the two groups on campus. Texas A&M has a fine tradition in being friendly to other students and visitors on campus, so let’s not lose the tradition because one student is in the corps and the other is not, because one is black and the other is white, or because one is female and the other is male. For years, A&M has been known as the “friendliest college campus in the world,” so let’s keep it that way. Say “hello” to the people you meet. Charles W.
