Page 6 THE BATTALION College Station, Texas Wednesday, November 29, 1972 ■Janet Landers Coeds Get More ‘Coverage’ — information A&M’s women’s rifle team will be traveling to Manhattan, Kansas to participate in the Kansas State Turkey Shoot. This is the largest jntPT-r'nllppinm rifle match in the nation. The team is composed of WiSHSHh Nancy Jordan, Annetee Jensen and Glynis Cantrell. They won the chance to attend the Kansas match by some top shooting in Houston at the Cougar Rifle Invitational. The Aggies scored 4,218 of a possible 4,800 at the University of Houston meet. The quartet beat men’s teams from University of Tekas at Arlington, Trinity and Rice. Wickham scored 1,080 of a possible 1,200 to be the high point scorer on the team Announcements from the “Y” association include several Christmas topics. Carols of Christmas song book will be distributed by the “Y”. These may be picked up in the Y.M.C.A. Building in Room 102. Dec. 4-15 the “Y” will be wrapping presents for the Aggies. This service is free to members and for non-members a charge of $ .25. Colleen Bourland, of the services committee suggests that students bring packages by earlier to avoid the rush. Organizations that wish to adopt a needy family for Christmas can receive information in Room 102 of the Y. This is a service of the “Y” association so that area families can have a more meaningful and fuller Christmas Alpha Lambda, national honor society, will have their Christmas get-together Wednesday, Dec. 6 at 6:30 p.m. The meeting will be held at the Barcelona Apartments Club Room. Members are asked to bring a small gift for a needy child valued under a dollar for either a girl or boy aged 3-9 years. These gifts will be wrapped at the party. Alpha Lambda has a new slate of officers. They are as follows: Melissa Martin, president; Patti Gaulding, vice-president; Robyn Evans, secretary; Kayron Dube, treasurer; and Susan Anderson, historian and reporter Only a few days ago short skirts with a flair and low cut tops were commonly admired by the male majority of A&M. As the cold breath of winter sweeps the campus, however, women reluctantly sacrifice, par tially at least, their femininity for a bit more warmth. Heavy wool en slacks replace sheer tan hose. High-collared, long-sleeved blous es replace short, low-cut dresses and even mittens and tobaggan caps cover neatly manicured hands and hair. Heavy coats and scarves cover a once nicely ac cented shape. Men are the ones to suffer in the cold weather despite their temperate advantage over woman. They do not get the privilege of admiring the beauty of the weak er sex. Men rarely consider how women feel as they wait for the shorts and halters to come back. How do women feel all bundled up and gawky ? Here they are, the epitome of beauty and all that is good, wrapped up, buttoned, snapped, and tugged on just to get half way near being comfortable. Fewer women go braless in the winter so they can have a little more warmth, and for many, that is no good at all. Those comfort able loose-fitting clothes have to be put away and bulky, itchy, binding garb worn in their stead. Women dislike winter as much as men when it comes to clothes. However, there is hope. There are certain advantages attainable in the winter that are not in the summer. For example, as one male student put it, “It’s more fun to cuddle in the winter be cause you don’t get sweaty.” Winter clothes for women are for the most part softer to touch than summer clothes due to the large amount of mohair, velour, velvet and wool w o r n by girls during the cold months. The ra tio of pants to dresses worn in the winter is much higher than in the summer, therefore, giving greater opportunities to touch softer material. >iS!
