The AGGIE, through the pen of Curtis Vinson, is taking its readers on an interesting and pleasant tour of Europe. The actual trip, taken by Professor J. S. Mogford ’'16, of the A. and M. College Agronomy Depart- ment and three of his students, was a more .serious, important and far- reaching journey than the usual pleasure tour. The party scanned and studied the domain of Cotton, from n its production in the United States to its manufacture and ultimate dis- position in the countries of Europe. The trip was made possible thru the genesis of an idea in the mind of Professor Mogford and thru the co- operation of such leaders in the cot- ton world as W. L. Clayton of the firm of Anderson-Clayton and R. J. Murray of the Texas Cotton Cooper- ative Association. Valuable aid in completing arrangements and plans was given by A. K. Short ’00, Ster- ling Evans ’21, and other agricul- tural workers and agencies. MAKE TICKET DISTRIBUTION HAPPY AFFAIR Once more the unhappy season of football ticket scrambles is here, and the AGGIE asks for patience, toler- ance and fairness from the members of the Association in this matter. Every year some feelings are wound- ed over this situation. The fault is often at College Station, often with the individual himself. It is the only situation this publication has ever seen that was not completely amica- bly handled among A. and M. men. The practice of sending applica- tions and giving preference on seats to members of the Association in good standing seems the only method of distributing tickets among A. and M. men. Without this plan it would be necessary to open the sale to the general public, which would leave little preference to any A. and M. man and which would open the gates to the speculator and the scalper. Even Former Students not allied with the Association can and do appre- ciate the necessity of some agency listing those entitled to first choice of tickets. Nor would these men ex- pect the Association, maintained by its members contributions, to expend its resources in including their names upon the application list. Those at College Station, the As- sociation office furnishing the appli- cation list and the Ahtletic Depart- ment filling the applications, are trying to distribute the tickets ac- cording to the rules laid down by the A. and M. Former Students them- selves, and to do this with as few mistakes and errors as possible. When these errors and mistakes oc- cur, the AGGIE asks for a kindly attitude on the part of the injured party. Give those handling the ticket matter an opportunity to make the proper adjustment of errors. Help make the matter of football ticket distribution the pleasant affair that cther business relations between A. and M. men have always been. The blending of the efforts of an educational institution with those of the cotton business for the produc- tion of benefits to the cotton pro- ducing area of the United States is strong evidence of the value of Tex- as A. and M. to its citizen support- ers. Such a study of an industry as was made by this party will un- questionably result in benefit to that industry. And what benefits the cot- ton industry will benefit almost half the population of the United States. The Aggie extends its congratula- tion to the men whose efforts, sup- port and far-sightedness made such a trip possible. In Memoriam John N. Seybold ’03 John N. Seybold, age 49, died suddenly at his home in Tem- plé recently. He attended A. & M. from 1901 to 1903. At the time of his death he was man- ager of the Seybold Gin at Temple.
