There is, to be explicit, a program of land- scaping in progress that has already softened considerably the harsher as- pects of certain spots of the pano- rama here, there, and yon. Ever- greens flourish where once they were not, breaking the monotony of line, giving grace and symmetry and add- ed beauty to the view. New trees have been planted, some of them seedlings, some of them mature, year-hung growths of the forest, transplanted with great earth balls clinging about their wounded but carefully tended roots. And there are pat 10 Q mm — the new campus seats, of concrete inlaid with colored tile design. Six in all so far. Two are at ‘Walton Hall, there is one at each of Law and Puryear Halls, one rests on the knoll that looks from the extension of Houston street toward the college and one is in a bower of foliage at a corner of the rectangle where in the days of the past the band was wont to play at retreat. There is about them an ornamental touch that brightens the view. And they flash a gaiety of color to please the eye and match the mood of loitering moments, a harmony of hues that should, by reason of material used and type of construction employed, endure undimmed the sun and rain and wind of many years. —The Bat. Bt—— A: ti ——— FOOD PARADE From out the vast kitchen of the college mess hall a food parade of formidable extent proceeds daily. It is a one-way parade, however, a par- “ade that ends in annihilation for the food phalanxes as they come to rest briefly in the huge dining rooms. The cadet corps sees to that rather effectively. But the food parade con- tinues, three times a day, nine months a year, and more. Under the banners of calories it proceeds. In the ranks daily are nearly 4,000 rolls, 1,400 pounds of meat, 150 pounds of butter, 320 gallons of sweet milk, 8 crates of lettuce, 2,250 pounds of tomatoes, not to mention other vege- tables, beverages, sweets, etc., etc. In a week, 600 pounds of coffee go into the big coffee urns that brew this beverage for the cadets. With- in a year more than 23,060 gallon cans of vegetables are used as well as thousands of pounds of fresh veg- etables. In a week, 1,200 pounds of cabbage alone are served in salads and other food items. It is, ‘indeed, ——— A Sk e a big parade and one whose staging | se of of 3 ok J 3 ok od ok od * and directing require considerable |% 5 attention.

That is to say, these sounds of industry and prog- ress are to be heard on the campus. And they are pleasant sounds, not in the aesthetic sense, perhaps. But in practical improvements, decidedly. They mean pavement for several of the cardinal thoroughfares of the campus, streets that serve a heavy traffic of arriving and departing employes, visitors, and campus resi- dents. All told, approximately $27,- 000 is being spent on the new pav- ing program. Work at the west en- trance, from the state highway to the main boulevard, has been com- pleted. —The Bat. fe fe af fe fe fe op Re ge fe fe fe oe *e ge of LS Ly : WEDDINGS *% 3 Se fe ode of of of oe ode ode ode of of of ob Harrington-Norris Mr. and Mrs. Wesley Norris, of Dallas, have announced the engage- ment and approaching marriage of their daughter, Ruth, to M.

EE FINAL EXAMS BRING FEAR TO CADETS For the first time in many years, FINAL EXAMINA- TIONS, the collegian’s most feared . bug-a-boo, will be held at A. & M. During the past 16 or 17 years the college has operated under a plan of week- ly quiz and recitation in arriv- ing at the student’s term grade. At the close of the current term of school work, ending February first, final examina- tions will be held in all sub- jects. Already, cadets are show- ing doleful faces upon the campus, and petitioning the faculty for a “dead week,” pre- ceding examination week. "Twill ‘be a tough week for the cadets. And many an old boy will heave a sigh of relief that the reform was not staged before he gathered in his own hard- earned sheep-skin. ee sioiend aod * al 0) sofecforirafeciesforfecesfontofeciorionieciocts 0 *y foods oo * .

MANY VETERANS ANSWER CALL TO SPRING PRACTICE Spring football practice will open at A. and M. and other conference schools on February first and will centinue through the month of March. Under a new conference rule all such practice must be completed in those two months. A squad of fifty-five men is expected to report to Matty Bell for two months of hard work. All eligible freshmen from last fall and all varsity men not engaged in a spring sport will be on hand, as will outstanding men from the ranks of the Battalion lea- gue. A complete review of fundamen- tals will be made during the spring session. Offensive formations to be used next fall will be taught and there will be scrimmages and games to test the ability of the squad un- der fire. Several full games will likely be played during the later days of the two-month session. The squad will be lead by Captain Char- ley Cummings, star tackle and end. Almost the entire squad will be on hand for the practice, only a few men being engaged in baseball or track. A bright spot will be the re- turn to the squad of “Pete” Rob- ertson, letter-man of 1931 who was ineligible last fall. He lettered at center but will likely be transferred | to an end, which position he played upon the freshman team. Among the old men expected to be out will be Ray Murray, Odell Conoley, Spain and Robertson at ends; Cummings, Merka, Jordan, No- lan, Smith and Ullrich at tackles; Crow, Maxwell, Russi, Willis, Wood- land and Breedlove at guards; and Roach and Kenerdine at center. A- mong the backs will be Barfield, Spencer, Fowler, Martin, Kimbrough, Brown and Gregory. Domingue will be out of school this spring but will return and be eligible next fall. Out- standing freshmen will be Tohline and Simmons at ends, Speed at tack- le, Stach and Phythian at center, Callahan at fullback, Thompson and Cowsert at quarter. AGGIES TO AID .
