REPORT OF TAILOR SHOP
COMMITTEE
“FORE
—
We, your committee, have made an
inspection of the Campus Tailor
Shop and have found the physical
property in good operating condi-
tion.
It is the opinion of your commit-
tee that prices charged are too high,
especially so in view of the general
lowering of price levels elswhere. It
is suggested that these prices can
be reduced if the present practice
of having paid solicitors can be abol-
ished, passing such savings on to
the patrons. These savings are es-
timated at approximately 25 per
cent.
"A faculty ruling prohibiting solic-
iting will probably be necessary to
accomplish this, without consequent
loss of business to outside operators
and it is suggested that steps be
taken to obtain such a ruling.
We believe a reduction in prices
would mean an increase of business
without an increase of plant invest-
ment with some margin of profit as
now obtained, provided the solicitor
problem can be satisfactorily set-
tled.
Respectfully submitted:
Hugo W. H. Zapp ’12, Chr.
A. T. Webber 22
P. M. Geren ’12
KIRBY LAND GIFT COMMITTEE
Mr. E. O. Siecke, State Forester
and director of the forestry service

ported for the committee on the

over timber land in Tyler county.
The property was given in 1929 and
title is held by the College with all
future returns to become the John
Henry Kirby Student Loan Fund.
Mr. Siecke and his department are
working out plans for the further
development of the tract. His report
was accepted and the thanks of the
organization extended to him for
his fine services. The report was
signed by Mr. Siecke, J. I. McGreg-
or ’16, and A. K. “Dad” Short ’00.

FARMERS MAKE
POOR START IN
- DIAMOND RACE
Roswell Higginbotham’s Cham-
pionship Aggie baseball Nine got off
to a rocky start in the current sea-
son’s campaign, by dropping games
to T. C. U. and Baylor. The second
Baylor tilt brought the first victory
of the season when the Farmer hit-
ters struck their stride and pounded
over 13 runs to trounce the Bruins,
13 to 5.
Scheer, pitching against Baylor
in the last game, looked fairly good
and Sophomore Wilson Moon, port-
sider, did some capable relief hurl-
ing in the games that were lost.
The Aggies still can make a race
out of the conference schedule, but
will meet their crucial test against
the Rice Owls at Houston this week-
end. At present the Owls are lead-
ing the conference.

FARMERS GIVE
OWL TRACKMEN
CLOSE BATTLE
The Aggie track team surprised a
large crowd of visiting former stu-
dents when they nearly upset the
dope in their dual meet with Rice
last week. Doped to lose by some
twenty-five points the Farmers and
their supporters were only nosed
out by the Championship Owls by a
score of 63% to 58%. The feature
race of the afternoon was the mile
relay. With Rice 20 yards in the
lead, George Lord, stellar football
guard in the fall, took the baton
and made up the distance. Percy
Mims, Aggie captain, increased the
lead and the race was won by “Red”
Aiken. )
The Farmer track and field team
is not looming as weak as was first
feared, and while the strength for a
title win does not appear to be
present the Aggies are due to win
many points in the big meet.

lands. His remarks were greeted with
warm applause.
Under the head of new business
it was moved by Mr. E. R. Eudaly
that the 1933 Annual Association
Meeting be held on the Sunday pre-
ceding the opening of the Annual
Farmers’ Short Course at College
Station in July. Mr. Eudaly pointed
out the presence at that time of
many men who had never had an
opportunity to attend one of the or-
ganization’s Annual Meetings. Dr.
D. D. Giles 22, suggested that the
business meetings be held in the
morning in order that visitors might
get started for home earlier. Cap-
tain S. D. Hervey spoke against the
Eudaly motion, claiming that much
of the attractiveness of the visit to
the campus would be missing during
the summer and that such a date
would also seriously conflict with
Reserve Officers Training Camps
during the summer. Upon being put
to a vote, the Eudaly motion was
lost.
President Thomas called for a re-
port of the Nominating Committee,
which was made by Chairman E. R.
Eudaly. The committee nominated 25
directors, who were unanimously
elected. President Thomas directed
the new directors to retire and ask-
ed Burt E. Hull 04, who was for-
mer president, to take the chair
while the directors went into session.
A. L. Sanger, president of this
year’s senior class, was asked to
say a few words and responded with
some interesting information upon
the student publications of A. and
M.
Dean Chas. E. Friley reported on
the general reduction in student ex-
penses at A. and M. to go into ef-
fect next fall.
Madison Bell, head of the depart-
ment of physical education, was call-
ed upon. He expressed appreciation
for the work and aid given his de-
partment by Caesar Hohn ’14, for-
mer student representative on the
athletic council. Mr. Bell stated that
he and the members of his depart-
ment were always open to sugges-
tions or criticisms. He explained the
situation in regard to his recent trip
to Iowa University and reported
briefly upon the athletic material
situation at A. and M. At the close
of his remarks, he introduced the
members of his staff present.
Dr. F. E. Giesecke ’86, college ar-
chitect, was asked to speak briefly
on the present A. and M. building
program and he did so. Colonel P.
L. Downs ’79, of Temple, brought
home to those present some of the
state problems facing Texas and
mentioned the fact that he is being
urged by many friends to enter the
field in the coming election as a can-
didate for Congressman-at-Large.
At the suggestion of Judge W. C.
Davis, Senator Chas. S. Gainer ad-
dressed the meeting giving details
on how the McFarlin Gift was se-
cured. His remarks were greeted
with an outburst of applause.
The new directors returned. Pres-
ident Thomas took the Chair and

tion of officers. These were as fol-
