The Corps of Cadets’ will begin its March on Moscow on May 7. Shown here is one of the nuclear missiles that will accompany the soldiers, scholars and knightly gentlemen on the 5,500-mile march. Rata-tat-tat, Corps public relations coordinator, said the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders and Miss Texas A&M will be on hand to referee the war games. When asked what the group would do when confronted with the icy cold North Pole, GungHo said, “We’ll take thermal underwear.” GungHo said they don’t expect to encounter any heavy resistance at the Russian border. “We expect to lose a few thousand on the initial penetration of the Rus- kie border and the march to Moscow, but we should have no serious diffi culties,’ GungHo said. “Your average Commie is no threat to a healthy red- blooded, fightin’ Texas Aggie.” Beat the hell outta Moscow,” he said. About half the Aggie Band is ex pected to march with the Corps to Moscow. Band members are being suited with special combat gear. “ f he band is going to be prepared to play the Aggie War Hymn on an integrated battle field — which means chemical, nuclear and biological war fare,” GungHo said. When asked if any U.S. forces would be helping, GungHo said: “They are welcome to help if they want. But they have to remember that we’re the leaders in this operation.” GungHo said that Student Govern ment leaders may be contacted as pos sible delegates to communicate with the Russian leaders. He said they also could act as provisional leaders when the Russian government is over thrown. “It could be a learning experience for all of us,” said Student Body Presi dent Tap Noserap. . MSG.

That way, we could have the Summit and the Albert Thomas (Con vention Center downtown and could have basketball games in one and that high-falutin' opera stuff in the other.” Houston city officials, who attended today’s meeting, said they didn’t really care. “It’s a cesspool surrounded by a giant parking lot called the Loopf” Whitmire said. “If those know-it-all Aggies think they can do anything with it, more power to them.” Brite thanked Whitmire, calling her “a great inspiration for all the lit tle ladies in America.” He added: “After the Aggies take over. I’m sure we can make Houston just as preeminent as Texas A&M.” Vanaucci then said: “Hold it. Ultra. You’re always calling A&M preeminent. Well, I like ‘world uni versity.’ I'm president here — that means I have power and I get to choose the adjective for Aggieland.” After Brite stopped laughing, he said: “You’re right, Francesco, we need to straighten this out right now. I say Texas A&M Preeminent Univer sity — TAMPU — sounds better than TAMWU — Texas A&M World Uni versity. That sounds downright Com munist. And you know how they want to infiltrate our precious bodily fluids.” “It does not sound Communist,” Vanducci said. “Does too!” “Does not!” “Does too!” “Does not!” The debate ended when Vanducci was dragged kicking and screaming from the room. After he had been bound and gagged, he was allowed to return to the meeting. “Mmpvf, mrrff, rurrph,” he said. After some semblance of order was restored, regents heard committee reports on Target 2001, a space odys sey designed to put Aggies on Jupiter, and the University’s proposed re search park. Brite said: “This park will show the research world that A&M is truly preeminent.” “Rrld oonvrsty!” “Who rattled your cage, Frankie?” Regent Ant then said: “I bloody well don’t even know what ydu chaps are talking about. Let’s forget this crackpot history and do another song.” Ant's suggestion was overruled and the meeting continued with a report from the Planning and Building Committee, chaired by Chairman Joe “Jolly” Greengiant. The board approved the approp riation of $2.3 million for the pre liminary design of a new former stu dents’ lounge. The four-story lounge, which will be in the south end zone of Kyle Field, will be connected to the north endzone prestige boxes by an elevated monorail system — the “Cot ton Bowl Express.” The lounge is expected to be com pleted by the kickoff of the 1984 foot ball season. The board also approved the fol lowing items suggested by the Com mittee for Academic Campuses: — S 12.4 million for the College of Engineering. I he appropriation came as a surprise to Dr. H.I. Salary, who said the college still had money left over from the $15 million appropriated in January. But Com mittee Chairman Ali explained the move: 1 “They didn’t ask for the money, They didn’t come to me. j But I want that college To be the best it can be.” — $249 for the College of Liberal Arts. The money was appropriated after Dr. Whitman Faulkner Steinbeck, dean of the college, asked the board to replace the tarpaper shacks the col lege now is using for classrooms. Ali said: “He groveled for money, he whined like a pup. Maybe this pittance will make him shut up.” — $3.50 for paper clips for Tarle- ton State University. “Where’s that?” Ali asked. The request was referred to the Committee for Finding Academic Campuses.

Everyone has the choice of liking what we like cor not.” Woodhead also said his group would expand its protest efforts as soon as moonpies are readily available throughout the campus dining facili ties. “As soon as we get that taken care of we’re going to move on. This cam pus is just full of reactionary B.S. that needs to be taken care of.” When pressed for examples, Woodhead said: “Well, we think the toilet paper situation is execrable. I mean, wno wants all that industrial strength stuff with the woodchips still in it? We think it’s a John Bircher plot to undermine the fundamental strength of the University’s student body and contaminate our precious bodily fluids. “Then again, we may start pressing for more junk foods, like Ding Dongs or Twinkles. We don’t care. We’re really just upset that we weren’t born 15 years earlier so we could have pro tested against something really signi ficant, like the Vietnam War.
