I wonder if I should make a comeback?" SCOTT & WHITE CLINIC, COLLEGE STATION Announcing Weekend Clinic Hours for Urgent Care 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Scott & White Clinic, College Station, is now ofFering weekend Clinic hours for urgent care by appointment only! The Weekend Clinic is conducted from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. in the Clinic Annex building located across the street (Glenhaven Dr.) from the main clinic. By Appointment Only (409) 268-3663 of '54, kept the strip going through his undergraduate, master's and doctorate degrees and into his ca reer as a civil engineering professor at A.&M. He has been the head of the engineering design graphics department since 1965. Slouch was "the Aggie's Aggie," coping with eternal student con cerns — registering for class, need ing more sleep, taking tests, living in a dormitory, and trying to get a date. As a Corps member, he also dealt with the luckless Fish Jethro, room inspections and other mili tary situations. "I don't guess that stuff has ever changed," Earle said. "It's just a little different environment we're in now." When the strip began, Texas A.&M. College was all-male and all-military, with 6,200 students. By the end of Slouch's run, Texas A&M University's enrollment was 35,675 — nearly 40 percent women and only 5 percent Corps. Each of these changes, and many other issues along the way, caused campus controversy, and Earle said he often enjoyed finding the humor in one side or the other. "I've decided graphic communi cation is the strongest form of com munication there is," he said. "You can get across a stronger point and people accept it... 1 tliink some of the silly stuff we did helped people lighten up." However, some things around here will never. Slouch has com plained all along about parking tickets, the ever-soggy weather, and campus construction that al ways seems to start when the fall semester does. The uniquely Aggie attitude Dr. Donald Powell takes towards sports is apparent in each panel of his sports cartoon, "dp," which has run in The Battalion twice a week during football and basketball sea sons since 1977. only Powell, director of business» vices at A&M and Class of'56, followed the Aggies throughlee years and rough games. In dp's yearly Cotton chart, the cartoonist plots out fe the rest of the SWC season r for the Aggies to wind up at "Kj Field North" on New Year's (not always such a regular occm rence as in recent years!) The 1984 chart, when theA^ were in last place, reads:’1 Arkansas and TCU beatt.u.;ai t.u. and Arkansas beatSMU;an SMU, TCU and t.u. beat UH;an UH beats Arkansas; and beats TCU; and Arkansas andb. beat Baylor; and everyone but Rid beats Tech; and everyone Rice; and we win the restofou games A&M's 44-14 loss to the Univa sity of Oklahoma on Sept, lipid vided dp with another chance|( look on the bright side with his Toj Ten Best Things about the "We scored ...We scored again The band was good ... It rain ... The game ended..." Regular support of the Vol. 93 No. Scott & White Annex The strip, populated largely by Confe UNIVERSITY DRIVE EAST Scott & White Clinic, College Station 1600 University Drive East Southwest Conference mascots and representative Aggies such as a yell leader, band member and Corps freshman, supports A&M sports in an unfailingly positive light. It is the pictorial version of the traditional A&M belief that Texas Aggies never lose a game; Band is a trademark of the strip not surprising because Powellisi former band member and Iasi month was elected president of tit Texas Aggie Band Association. Powell attends every fool game, home and away, andal! nome basketball games. Forfai away football games, when timeis short before his self-imposed dead line of b p.m. Sundays, hewillol ten draw cartoons in advance that could reflect either outcome. "When my daughter wasal home, I would sometimes draw (lit characters with blank faces and gel her to fill in the expressions afto the game," Powell said. Powell said that as an under graduate history major he ran across Tumlinson's "Fish Blotto' cartoons and was inspired to draw "He was really good," Powell said "I was impressed by the artwork." Powell originally applied to The Battalion as a cartoonist at same time Earle did, but he was not hired then. He said his now is to outlast "Cadet Slouch as the longest-running cartoon in The Battalion. "As long as I go one year yond Cadet Slouch," he said, think that means I've got to g( 2008."
