These men have represented 1800 Texas homes. Of the number, three it seems, have withdrawn and are now making claims that hazing was the cause of their resignations. How does the proportion of 1800-3 look ? Somewhat overwhelming, is our opinion. In other words, 1800 are content—3 are not. Write your own editorial! FURTHERMORE. ❖ ❖ * * ❖ * ❖ ❖ * 4* Prohibition is effective nationally. The law is stated in the 18th Amendment. The casual observer witnesses indications of violations of this national law. Let’s stop paying taxes to support a government permitting law breaking. This is fair if a college president is made responsible for the actions of individual students. ON ADVERTISING. It is indeed a pleasure to transact business with those firms and bus iness institutions who have indicated their firm support and friendship for the A. and M. College and what it represents. Especially do we take pleas ure in business associations with friends of the students and cadets who have made for themselves warm spots in the Aggies’ hearts. Yet, at times, it seems to us that there is an injustice done these men by our repeated and never-refused reiqusts for advertising. Not that they are not benefitted and that we are not benefitted. But that they bear the expense that should have wide distribution. When firms and business institutions such as transpor tation companies, produce and wholesale establishments, and other firms doing great volumes of business with college authorities year after year positively refuse to give advertising to any student enterprise and take little interest in any student activity, then it seems to us that a time has been reached when the tables should be turned for a time and the college should give them an opportunity to learn all over one of the oldest business maxims: “It Pays To Advertise.” Look for the advertisers in the Bat. When you fail to see one that should be there, let it be known. SMOKING IN THE GYM. The Athletics Manager has asked that students refpin from smoking at the gym during basketball games. This action was miade in response to requests from our own squad and visitors. During the recent games with State when the building was filled to its greatest capacity, the objectionable features of smoking were made most apparent. It is expected that all stu dents will remember this request and cooperate wihout a further reminder. It is certain that we wish to conform to the wishes of visiting teams and it goes without saying that any request of our own team is granted. Remem ber, NO SMOKING AT THE NEXT BASKETBALL GAME. T WILDCAT. Supported by the Battalion, yell leaders, athletes, cadet ofh- £ cers, students in general who work for and love old A. and M., fac- £ ulty members, graduates, and ex-students, the “Wildcat’ is destined to become the mascot and totem of A. and M. Since suggestions £ were requested weeks ago, the “Wildcat” remains the only animal ❖ offered. It fills the bill. The long-used names of Aggies and Far- * mers will not go in the discard by any means. But the Texas Wild- ^ cats will be A. and M. in all the far corners of the earth and the £ undying fiery spirit of Aggieland will be well exemplified in this na- * tive beast which is feared by all followers of the chase. Wildcats £ and A. and M. will be synonyms in the future as they have uncon- £ sciously been so in the past. Long live the Aggie Wildcat! May * he be supreme forever! .$• SIXTY STUDENTS DISTINGUISH ED FIRST SEMESTER. The list of distinguished students in A. and M. for the first term, which has just been issued by Registrar C. E.

Rice Institute, February 10.— Battery of men are warming up this week in an attempt to get in shape for regular baseball practice, which is scheduled to begin the latter part of this week. Prospects for a crack baseball team at Rice are not very good. Seven of the regular line-up are absent from college this year and Coach Cauthon will have to re build the team from bottom to top. Eddie Dyer, star grid man and bat ter of the last years team will be the nuclus upon which the team will be built.

In matching hearts, it seems thou hast No rival far or near. The year is empty till thy day— Void, lonely, loveless, all. And when your sweet rule holds full sway, Love’s lads and lassies fall. Each February’s month would be Naught less thy fiery dart. Thy heart-shaped emblems rule for thee, In every true love’s heart. Now, kind old saint, I’ve sung my song Even up by turning her heart my way. —Contributed. T. HALL IMPLICATED. (Note—investigation pending).
