This year, Cotton and Denim
week opens on Ag wihout any
sinister reprisals in thhe form of
so-called "Hitlerian" tactics"
hanging: over thhe heads of non
adherents. Dunking is out. Good or bad,
we believe the dunking tradition
on Ag aroused more student in
terest and inspired more unity
among Ag students than anv
other activity on the Ag campus.
Perhaps with some timely modi
fication it could have been
tained as an interesting counter
part of Farmers Fair. But that's
an if.
However, the Cotton and rtn-
lm tradition will go on this year.
Without any clubs to hanir
violators' heads, the Farmer FW
board is appealing to the "ae"
spirit of the stud en U to ahiio h
the customary uniform revolu
tions of the week. If not it
them down. Aggies! Farmers Fair
is an all-Ag- student affair and if
you're not officially assigned to
some job, here's one way you can
show you're behind this year's
Ag festival 100 per cent.
