Dear Lunatic-students-out-on-a-week-long-pass
OK, FINE! — so the spring break issue is hardly uncharted water. But at least we’ve put a new twist
on the subject. We could have told you about driving to Padre or flying to New York or Denver — but
that would be useless since those places have been booked for weeks. And we could have written
about skiing fitness or tanning techniques but that would be driving home the fact that too many of
us are stuck with a trip home to Mom and Dad or worse yet — stuck here.
For those of you suffering that fate, this one’s for you. Before you give into boredom and become a
complete eggplant look at pages 10 and 11 for some mindless games you can play. Enough of this
scholastic stuff, already. These reminisces of childhood diversions should only be challenging
enough to satisfy your yearningf?) for a quiz during the week away from school.
We know, we know — you don’t want to sit around doing a crossword puzzle —you reaJJv wanted
to go skiing or swimming or some typical type spring break thing. Fate wasn’t on your side — but
we are. We furnished pictures of how much fun you could be having Aggie style.
Our models were great sports (no pun intended) during the photo session. The weather wasn’t quite
right for either the slopes or the beach but very little comes between our photographer and his as
signment. On Sunday afternoon, while you were cramming for midterms, we all trooped to Mt. Ag
gie and then to Rudder Fountain. It’s safe enough for us to say that a fun time was had by all — but
then we weren’t frolicing in a frigid fountain. We do know, however, that passers-by got a huge kick
out of the whole thing.
In addition, Man^ Cox has taken it upon herself (with a little arm-twisting from us) to point out all
the country-club features that are right here at A&M. Don’t scoff. Where else can you get golf,
weightlifting, horseshoes and tennis for free? _
All this to say — have a good, safe week and don’t turn into a vegetable before you’ve done your At
Ease puzzles. (You might learn something — but don’t count on it.)
Sincerely,
