Just By MARCY BOYCE Battalion Staff Outfit commanding officers are getting a refresher course in how it feels to be a Texas A&M University Corps of Cadets freshman this week. Most of the officers have even dressed up for the occasion, or dressed down as the case may be. As one of the many traditions surrounding the upcom ing Texas A&M-University of Texas football game, freshmen in the Corps stole all their outfit command ing officers’ uniforms and boots late last week. As a result, the commanding officers, all seniors, have since had to resort to wearing “fish” (freshmen) uni forms. Their possessions will be held for a specific amount of time — which varies from to outfit to outfit and usually corresponds to either the outfit number or the fresh men’s class year, John Burt, Corps public relations com mittee member, said. Yet nearly all the items should be surrendered by the end of this week, Burt said. Kidnapped commanding officers tied up on the Corps Quad or to a dormitory commode are also not uncom mon sights during this week’s assault. The now bootless commanding officers wearing fish uniforms may chuckle about their predicament, but they make sure the instigators of the thefts and kidnap pings do not escape unpunished. Sophomores ‘push’Friday All freshmen have, been “put on a list,” Burt said, which amounts more or less to being grounded, being under 24-hour inspection and having to abide by several regulations. List regulations include such things as requiring freshmen to wear combat boots laced up backwards and to speak “three deep.” Speaking three deep means the freshmen must identify the upperclassmen in their out fit not only by name, but also by hometown and major, when addressing them. Among the rules is also one making the freshmen get a pass signed by their commanding officer to go any where, even to eat lunch or go to the bathroom, Burt said. The longer the freshmen harbor their commanding officer’s possessions, the longer the list becomes and the more dreaded the punishments. “The point of the whole deal is to build unity in the freshmen class, just to pull them together,” Burt said. “All the C.O. s (commanding officers) know it’s going to happen. They usually arrange with their roommate to let the fish come in and take all their stuff when they aren’t home.” And once the freshmen’s ploy is a success, the game begins. Committee continues new presiden t search The 22-member search committee selection ofa new president for Texas advising the Texas A&M University A&M University will hold its third System Board of Regents in the meeting Friday.

Cox has been conducting a inicto help smokers kick the habit, hough the fall smoking clinic is most over, Cox said another will robably start in the spring. “It (hypnosis) teaches you to get in Duch with the feelings that allow you nosis session while others are not helped much by the sessions. “It doesn’t work for everybody,” she said. The therapy programs in the edu cational psychology department are free of charge to students, and Cox said that any habit or personal prob lem can be treated by the therapists. Most of the therapy is done on an individual basis. By MARCY BOYCE Battalion Staff The sophomore class is sponsoring a Class of ’83 Bonfire Day Friday in an effort to encourage the entire class to work on the project, which is near ing its final stages on the field behind Duncan Dining Hall. A dance at the Quonset Huts will follow. Sophomore Class President Mike Lawshe said sophomores will be given preference over upperclass men working on the bonfire that day. Even so, redpots (members of the Corps of Cadets in charge of opera tions) and yellowpots (civilians who are also in authoritative positions) will still oversee the project as a whole, he said. Sophomore women are also in vited to take part in the sophomore “push” day by working concessions at the site. Sign-up lists Friday will be available at the concession stands for women interested in partici pating. All sophomore participants will be distinguished by wearing some type of blue arm band, Lawshe said. A dance in the Quonset Huts will follow the Class of ’83 Bonfire Day from 7 to 12 p.m. It will be open to anyone, but admission tickets must available in front of Duncan Dining be purchased in advance — $2 for Hall or in the Commons. Fifty kegs men and $ 1 for women—and will be of beer will also be provided. LB. 1 Place Your Order Early To Guarantee Delivery! Home cured fully cooked. Ready to eat. SMOKED ^ CO TURKEYS I 58 LB.
