used by the Stetson Hat Com­pany. The photograph shows two widely-known cowboys of the day on horseback in the middle of a river. Both are drinking water from their Stetsons. This was the first picture he sold.

Bill WingBill, a senior majoring in lan­guages, thinks they’d be good. He says, “it would turn A&M into a regular school. Aggies won’t have to drive a hundred miles for a date if fraternities and sororities are in full swing.”

John HaleyJohn, a math major and also a senior at A&M, believes “they would create a lot of strife in an already tense situation between Corps and civilians. Anyone can be in the Corps whereas a social frat is more or less and exclusive group . . . People would be left out in some instances.”

Mary Urbamovsky“Yes”, declares Mary, who is a sophomore in pre-nursing. She further exclaims, “The civilian students definitely need more activities. Perhaps fraternities aren’t the answer, but something

must be done for the many bored students on campus.

Willy GrindleWilly, a sophomore majoring in business, says, “I don’t believe in social fraternities. This school is not for parties or social educa­tion. It is for occpational educa­tion. A social fraternity usually means a sorority but that could hardly apply to A&M with the lack of girls.

Mary HejMary, is a sophomore in educa­tion. She says, “the Corps makes this school. All social fraterni­ties could do would be to take away from the purpose of the Corps.”

Donald JacksonDon, a senior in accounting, op­timistically contends “if it will benefit the university I think it’s fine. But, we already have a fraternity—the Corps! However, if enough people are interested and if it would improve the social life then I think it’s good.

Jeanie PrevostJeanie is a freshmen majoring in history. She believes “social frats will take away from the military and academic atmo­sphere now enjoyed on the A&M campus. I would like to see it go back to all Corps ...old Arm y.”
