To paraphrase the
boasting of our
^4^ rvi ir^i a 5 5 beloved Corps
UCllII|JUO. of Cadets in
which we’re proud, we believe we’re
the best apartment complex in Aggie-
land. Not only do we have attractive
one, two, and three bedroom apart
ments with loads of closet space, all
electric kitchens, individual heating
and air conditioning, but we have our
own lighted tennis courts, supervised
intramural activities, social functions
and 24-hour maintenance.
Just ask anyone who lives at the
Viking. They’ll tell you we have the
best and fastest maintenance crew
anywhere, and the friendliest, most
considerate property managers in
Aggieland. After all, “We’re the best
damn outfit off the campus.’’
Come live with us! Happiness is
living at the Viking. Call Jean or

Marline Carter puts “the block” on her shorter but deter
mined opponent Cindy Felderhoff. Both Marline, of the
Shorties, and Cindy, of the Little Swishers, are participants
in Co-Rec basketball.
Intramural Soccer:

Well, our daring doer has do«<
it again. Here is how this bra®

Class A - Central America
Class B - Mexico

An obvious height disadvantage did little to deter this coed
from her part in a jumpball.
Basketball is starting its third
week of play today; and as of last
Friday, most teams had played
their first game. The roundballers
have great spirit this season. The
routines are going smoothly and
everyone seems to have their
schedules. The courts are filled
with action every Sunday through
Thursday from 5:00 pm through
12:00 midnight.
This year there are 558 teams
competing in the round robin
leagues, 40 of which are women’s
teams; an exciting increase over
last year. According to the facts
and figures, there are only four
less men’s teams this year than
there were total teams last year;
and co-rec teams have almost dou
bled. All in all, there are 110 more
teams participating in the 1978
season than in 1977.
For all you soccer buffs, you
might be interested to know that
the intramural soccer season is not
quite over yet. The men’s semi
final All-University playoffs were
held last Sunday, January 29. The
men’s final All-University games
for Classes A and B are scheduled
for Sunday, February 5, if the
weather is favorable.
Class A will play at 3:10 pm on
field 1, while Class B competes at

be played on the fields at the front
of the campus (East Gate). Spec
