IMPORTANCE OF
CHOP ROTATION.
By Tamara Bell
StaffWriter
J^uring one of mv late-night
bull sessions with a few friends, we
got to wondering what are the best
and worst things on the A&>M cam
pus. While sipping from bottles of
several domestic beers, we came up
with a list of A&^M’s best and
worst. Here it is.
The Best Place to Make Out: Kyle
Field. Tradition has it that if you
score on the 50-yard line, you’ll be a
millionaire by the time you’re 25.
We wish all traditions were so ben
eficial.
The Worst Place to Make Out:
outside a dorm’s entrance. Couples
mugging up against the glass doors
have to be pushed out of the way
before you can enter the dorm. And
they don’t care who’s watching —
or listening.
M he Best Fountain: the one
near the Chemistry Building. Not
only can you relax and bag a few
rays, but one guy says you can bag a
babe, too.
The Worst Fountain: the Fish
Pond. One girl describes it as a gi
ant ashtray. Why, during football
season, just look at all the butts
flicked in it.
Best Place to Eat: unanimously
— there isn’t.
Worst Place to Eat: Sbisa Dining
Hall. On it’s Big Night specials, stu
dents are promised shrimp or
steak. And they pay more for that
meal. But come on, $6.50 for three
shrimp? You could get better food
and sendee for your money if you
took the S6.50 and ate at Archie’s
Hamburgers.
Best Place to Park: off-cam-
pus.
Worst Place to Park: in the hand
icap designated spaces. If you park
in a handicap space you have to
walk around campus all day with a
limp.
Worst Class to be in at 5:00: Any
class. Your stomach’s growling be
cause you haven’t seen food since 8
a.m. and it’s too long a walk to Ar
chie’s Hamburgers. So you’re al
ready in a bad mood. On top of that
you have to comprehend whatever
it is you’re supposed to be learning
in this class when all you can think
about is food and Zephyr Club. We
vote to skip this class.
Worst Place to Walk: in that
area near the Harrington and Aca
demic buildings. You have to wade
through the bird poop on the
ground simultaneously holding
your nose. Stinko.
Best Hiking Route: from north-
side to the golf shop. It’s at least a
20 minute walk in which time you
have to dodge foreign bicyclists,
runaway mopeds, groups of i2 peo
ple who insist on walking and talk
ing at the same time and that short,
fat boy you met in Biology 113.
Best Place to Pick-up Guys and/or
Girls: fourth floor of the Sterling
Evans Libraiy. You can find a date
to any sorority or fraternity func
tion. We’ve dubbed it the unofficial
meat market on campus, the Zeph
yrs of the north. Typical conversa
tions begin, “Hi, my name’s Matt
and I see you’re studying transce-
dentalism in the 19th centuiy. I’m
minoring in that, so why don’t we
study together.” You’d be amazed
at how well it works.
Worst Shuttle Route: the
one that lets off at Rudder. Who has
a class at Rudder Tower? From
there, it’s a good five minutes to
any class.
Worst Poster: in the Texas Aggie.
It’s an advertisement that has
someone in the Corps tiying to look
macho with a sword and this girl in
a bikini grabbing him like he’s a
god or something. Only when the
Corps starts churning out Rob
Lowes will this be permissible, (or
realistic).
Worst Alarm Clock: the Fightin’
Texas Aggie Band. Didn’t manda-
torv reveille end when non-regs
were allowed?Just because the boys
in the band have to be up and
about at 5 a.m. doesn’t mean every
one on southside shares their en
thusiasm for the early morning
hours.
W^orst Building: All Faiths
Chapel. This building looks like an
old donut shop. Why the University
hasn’t started selling donuts from
here is beyond us. Anyone for a
glazed with pink and green sprin
kles?
Worst Benches: the ones in the
Memorial Student Center. What is
that hideous hide —antelope or ga
zelle? You think the legs will rap
around you and you’ll be trapped
inside the fur forever. Beware.
Best P.R. Smile: Head Football
Coach Jackie Sherrill.
Worst Sense of Style: We decided
on those shorts that hit just on the
knee cap. It seems people who wear
these shorts aren’t sure if they have
the legs to wear short-shorts or if
they want to be adult and wear
long pants. What we want to know
is when did knickers with a flowery
print come into style?
Best Place for New Parking
Space: the rugby and polo fields on
the other side of the Zachary Build
ing. How many rugby players are
there? Maybe 15. How many stu
dents need to park on campus?
Maybe 30,000. Let’s get our priori
ties straight for once. As for the
polo players, they can ride their
horses in that area near the Har
rington and Academic buildings,
no one would notice.
Worst department: the Po
lice Department. What student,
faculty or staff member wouldn’t
want to get a hold of a ticket book
and play eeny-meeny-miny-moe
with a row of police cars illegally
parked.
Best Hotel: the Architecture
Building. Architecture majors
spend at least 30 hours a day doing
projects in this home away from
one. To help supplement the bud
get, the University should set up
cots and charge rent.
Best Tradition: This took a while
to think about, but we finally de
cided on the “kissing vour date af
ter the football team scores” tradi
tion. The only problem we could
see with this one, however, is what
if you get stuck going to the game
with that short, fat boy from Bi
ology 113?
Worst Tradition: This one was
easy. After the football team scores
and the yell leaders run to the goal
post and clutch their crotch. What’s
the point, we want to know?. Are
they checking to see if everything’s
still there? And what’ll happen
when some yell leaders are women?
What part of their anatomy will
they hold?
Worst Design of an Area: the
Commons. Actually, it’s not the
Commons itself, but rather the
driveway to the Commons. You can
only reach the driveway by going
down one street. If you make the
fnistake of wanting to reach the
Commons by a closer route, you
have to play “dodge the oncoming
cars.” Good luck.
Here is your opportunity
to develop skills in a broad
range of agricultural tech
niques. You may be asked
tO:
□ Introduce modem plant
ing methods in Togo.
□ Establish a cooperative
with Filipino farmers.
□ Provide techmcal assist
ance to Micronesian
beekeepers.
As a Peace Corps Volun
teer you will handle
responsibilities far greater
than those you would be
offered in a starting position
in the United States. Interna
tional firms and government
agencies value that kind
of experience.
