tually because their kitchen wares get them out of the kitchen so fast, white tornados, and the housewife getting the right wash everytime from way up there.
Couldn’t the housewife guess wrong or couldn’t the roach knock off Raid just once,
There are a few commercials I like and even some I look forward to. My favorite would have to be the Dodge Charger ad, or more specifically the Dodge Charger girl. Why she has fan clubs all over America. I usually prefer brunettes, but her careless ways have won a special part of my heart and I will always love a bumbling girl.
Now you may disagree with my favorite ads and my favorite peeves. Please don’t write in and tell me about it. I’m only human. I have six people on the Batt staff that have already told me that the White Knight is great. Ha!!
Now that I’m back at college and have given my blood-shot eyes a chance to rest I believe I will just stick to fall-out plays and drive-in movies. Last night when I went to the fall-out theater to see Bob Spivey’s production, he didn’t make me suffer through one commercial. That’s the life.

Conference topic is “The 1aircut for dark_guage Component in the Trai of English and Reading T<l(jers: Views and Problems.’
Northwestern Prlong Corps upper- le type cut which
can be combed, but still order “not quite white side- walls” or almost shaved temples with it.
Crewcuts, flattops and burrs were in vogue at one time, Schoppe recalled, with about 90 per cent of business in the close-cut variety. Only one in 10 ask for haircuts combed with a wet washrag now.
“One is just as easy as another for a good barber,” he says.
Local barbers are more exposed to the close clip, though. One small town barber, criticized for a crooked flattop, brought a “whisky glass” to work. Next time, he finished the trim, whirled the complainant to face the mirror, applied the carpenter’s level and declared:
“There, argue with the glass.”“Beatle” and surfer style haircuts rarely show up in
the MSC chairs, as if wearers are ashamed to appear.A fender-wearing, long-haired youth was caped for
the works. After snipping a few stray hairs around his ears, the barber looked at the twisted and piled top.
“You don’t want any off the top do you?” he asked.“No, sir.”“I’m sure glad. I don’t think I could comb it back
the way you have it,” he replied.

Annual Muster Will Feature New A&M Film
Texas Aggies around the world will muster next Friday to mark the passing of comrades and to honor Texans who won independence at San Jacinto.
A special feature of the 64th muster is the premiere of Texas A&M’s new color movie “Focus on the Future.” Twenty-six prints of the film will be shown in the United States and overseas.
A year in production, the film is narrated by news commentator Paul Harvey and features music from the motion picture “Giant” plus the Aggie Band and the Singing Cadets.
The Aggie Muster began in 1903 when the 300-member Corps paid homage to Texans who defeated the Mexican Army in 1836. Musters have been held since wherever Aggies find themselves April 21—on ship, the battlefield, and even on Corregidor, shortly before the Japanese captured the island in World War II. For some Aggies it was their last muster.
Roll calls this year will be held in 500 locations: Saigon, NhaTrang, and Da Nang, Viet Nam; Thailand; Germany; Italy; Labrador; Japan; Mexico; Okinawa; Pakistan; Peru; Puerto Rico; Scotland; Venezuela; England; Costa Rica; Bolivia, and 480 Texas towns and cities.
The ceremony is the same in every location. Aggies pay their respects to those who are absent.
When the names of the honored dead are called from muster rolls, someone in the crowd, usually a friend of the deceased, answers “here.”
The program ends with a poem: “Softly call the muster,Let comrade answer ‘Here’.Mark them present in our
hearts,We’ll meet some other day.”
4 Tessies Speak Monday At YMCA Manners Forum

dates, thank-you notes and asking for a date)2. Flowers — when and when not necessary, housing and
transportation3. Introduction: Small talk and tactful conversation4. Dances: How to ask for a dance, when it is proper
to “cut in” and what to do when the dance is over (Walk her to her seat, talk to her and hope a buddy comes along or leave her standing.)
5. Telephone manners: Asking for a date, confirming a date, calling to say “I will be late” and guessing games like “Guess who this is?”
Tessies will return for two more panels April 26 and May 3.
