of success in club sports. The rug

HOWDY FRESHMAN!
. . . and welcome to Texas A&M. We invite you to the store built to supply your student needs — LOUPOT’S.
In business for 32 years at the North Gate location, Lou has built a reputation of service to Aggies lasting
through generations. He will be happy to help you in any way he can. While you're in, be sure to pick up your
free copy of “Campusology,” where you can find the school songs, football yells, and many important (and not so
important!) facts about A&M.
Thanks...
To the nice students who have traded with Loup of s during the summer. We will be looking forward to seeing you
again this fall and supplying your additional needs. In 1969 an estimated 4,000-5,000 boys sold their books to me. I
bought these books knowing that they would come back to trade with me in the Fall. I now have a tremendous in
ventory of used freshmen books. I suggest that you check with students and former students for our book policy.
