BETTER SCHOOLS |S. & S. CLUB HOLDS COLLEGE PEOPLE |
CAMPAIGN IS TO |
OPEN HERE TODAY
Campus Study Club Will Attempt to
Tag Every Resident or Visitor in
College Station.
Every one will be asked to buy a
tag today.
work on the Campus and their inten- |
tion is to miss nobody. You are re- |
quested to help in making this tag!
[
day a success. A tag may be had:
cents, but you are supposed to con-
tribute in proportion to your means.
The real purpose of this day is not
to raise money, primarily, but to let
everybody in Texas know of the dan-
ger that is confronting the schools,
and incidentally enough money is ask-
ed for to defray the expenses of the
campaign.
This is being called the Better
Schools Campaign and Miss Annie
Webb Blanton, State Superintendent
of Public Instruction is the author of
the movement. The day will be ob-
served in every city and community
in the State.
The Campus Study Club as a Fed-
erated Club of Texas is conducting
the campaign in College Station.
A circular from the State Depart-
ment of Education says:
“A crisis has been reached in the
school interests of Texas. Not for
a generation has the situation been
so grave. It is conceded by all that |
there is one hope.
“In the November election there
will be submitted to the voters of Tex-
as an amendment to the State Con-
stitution. This amendment purposes
to remove the limit on the amount of
taxes which the people of any district
may vote to support their own
schools. If this amendment carries
the people of any district can vote
money to pay teachers better.
“If the proposed amendment should
be defeated next November it will
probably be several years before the
Legislature will again submit it to
the vote of the people. No other
measure promising adequate relief in
our present crisis in the schools is
possible at present. 1t, therefore
devolves upon -all friends of educa-
tion in Texas to unite efforts in the
campaign for this amendment. But
it will not pass unless extraordinary
efforts are made to line up support
for the amendment. A hot campaign
must be waged. To wage effective
campaign thousands of dollars are re-
quired. Already the teachers of the
State have contributed with enthus-
iasm. We are depending on your
help to put across a tag day to in-
crease the fund.”

ANNUAL ELECTION
OF ITS OFFICERS
jaddle and Sirloin Club Banquet Will |
be Given on Saturday Night
May 8th.
The Saddle and Sirloin Club met |
lead the Club in 1920-21. The meet- |
ing was well attended, some sixty- |
five or seventy members being pres-
ent, and enthusiasm reigned through-
out the meeting. After the meeting
was called to order by President Der-
rick applications for membership were
presented by several sophomores and
these were favorably acted upon by
the Club.
The banquet committee then made |
their report and the Club was called |
upon to set a date for holding the an- |
nual banquet. It was finally voted |
that Saturday night, May 8th was the
night for this great event. The com-
mittee reports that there has been
something like seventy-five plates |
bought up to the present time and as |
the time draws near they expect to |
sell even more.
As this was the last meeting in|
April it was the time for the election
of new officers. After the nomina-
tions were closed and the ballots were
counted the election returns were
found to be as follows: S. C. Evans,
President; J. E. Bloodworth Jr., Vice-
President; Frank Wendt, Secretary;
R. L. Patillo, Treasurer; Board of Di-
rectors, S. C. Evans, J. E. Bloodworth
Jr., Jack Mahan, A. F. Dieterich, and
W. L. Ballard;Membership Commit-
tee, T. B. Lewis, R. C. Mowery and
“Little Red” Reynolds. The meeting
was then turned over to the new pres- |
ident.
‘Immediately after the meeting the |
new president, Mr. S. C. Evans, called |
the Board of Directors together to
discuss plans and policies for the fu-
ture. The old officers of the Club
have been laboring under the difficulty
of perfecting the organization of the
Club in addition to putting on differ-
ent attractions in the name of the
Club. The fact that the Saddle and
Sirloin is one of the strongest clubs
in school and is putting on two of the
biggest club events of the year in the
way of - the . Saddle and Sir-
loin Banquet and the Freshman Live-
stock Judging Contest speaks well for
the efforts of the retiring officers.
The new officers already have plans
on foot for events they expect to put
on next year at the beginning of
school that will be greater than any-
thing else this club or any other club
has done in the past.

MEMBERS OF THE
FACULTY ASSURED
HIGHER SALARIES
President Bizzell will Ask the Leg-
islature to Provide $200,000.00
for This College.
President Bizzell called a general
conference of all officers, teachers
and employees of the College Thurs-
day afternoon and talked over the
matter of finances for this institu-
making especial reference to
calaries.
He emphatically stated that his
| deepest concern at this time was to
procure increased salaries for those
deserving members of the College
faculty who were ‘delivering the
goods,” and who were doing their
duty under the strain of inadequate
recompense. Although it had been
his desire since coming to A. and M.
never to let there be a time when the
construction of new buildings shouid
not be going on, he said, yet now he
was determined to sacrifice even that
ambition if it was necessary to make
that money available for increased
salaries.
Even considering the fact that
every member of the faculty could
make more money elsewhere than
they were receiving from A. and M.
yet he said “it is the duty of some
of us to remain with the College
through this crisis.”
In beginning his talk President
Bizzell said that the outlook and
possibilities of adequate salaries for
teachers was most promising, that in
fact this was the most hopeful time
he had ever seen for those engaged
in teaching because the situation
confronting the schools today has
become so critical that the people
have become alarmed. Especially is
this true if the teachers maintain
the right attitude toward the situ-
ation, if they keep out of all kinds
of alliances which might injure their
standing in the. community.
Dr. Bizzell said that it had oe-
curred to him recentlys that perhaps
he was being charged ‘with the fault
of not being concerned about the
critical situation confronting the of-
ficers and teachers, and he offered
assurance of his diligent--application
to the task of alleviating their diffi-
culties by relating briefly the work
that he has been doing the past two
months for the purpose of obtain-
ing relief by securing additional
funds for this College and all other
educational institutions of the state.
He said that he as well as all other
administrative officers had long
since got beyond the point of work-
ing only for the institution which
they represented, having become
cognizant of the fact that the fail-
ure of the public schools of Texas
would be fatal to the higher insti-
tutions of learning. And here he
brought to the attention of the con-
ference the necessity for some good
J work on their part
to assure the
