STATE VOCATIONAL EDUGATION DIRECTOR, P. G. HAINES, "17, HAS ~ SPENT CAREER IN AGRIC WORK Paul G. Haines, 17, recently ap- pointed State Director of Vocation- al Education for the State Depart- ment of Education, has enjoyed a career closely allied with the agri- cultural education and develop- ment of the state. His new work takes him to every section of Tex- as, with headquarters at Austin. He was appointed to his present position by State Superintendent L. A. Woods. After graduation in 1917, and War service, Haines served as County Agent of DeWitt County for four years and followed with four years as County Agent of Limestone County. He was named Agricultural Department head for and the most public spirited of its citizens have labored for many years. Are these labors, these realized ideals, that have made education possible to the many rather than only to the favored few, to be wasted in short-sighted and hasty action? Actions that may be deeply regretted almost as soon as taken. The educational institutions of the State belong to its citizens. Their will will be acceded to by these institutions. The AGGIE does not believe the people want their institutions crippled or ruined. The AGGIE believes the people, when they have the facts at hand, will insist upon a sane program of educational economy. To that end the AGGIE urges its readers to present this information to the people of the state, and to inform the legislature of the reply received. Sane economy, reasonable limitation of expenditures of public funds, must be achieved. But witch burning economy is not the desire of the citizens of this state. Nor, in the belief of the AGGIE, is it the desire of the members of the Legislature, many of whom, nevertheless, have been lead in that direction under the unusual stress of the day. The friends of education—John Citizen, himself, who is usually too busy with his own affairs to give more than an abstract approval of educational development—must make their feelings known to their representatives in the Legisla- ture at Austin. The AGGIE earnestly requests the aid of its readers in this battle for a precious cause; a precious re- source of the State of Texas. <4 Former Student luncheon, to be held at noon, April 16. The Brazos County Club, meet- ing at called intervals of about a month, has been enjoying an aver- age attendance of some forty mem- bers. A feature of the last meet- ing was several musical selections by Carl Sprague, 22. Members of the Brazos County Club, consist- ing of College and Bryan A. & M. men, will be on hand to welcome and to assist in the entertainment of the many former students who will visit the campus for the week- end of April 15-16. SUSPEND 25 ON HAZING CHARGE A one week suspension, reduc- tion of officers to the ranks, and the elimination of all freshmen from one infantry company, was the aftermath of a recent hazing discovery upon the campus. All cadet officers involved, including week-end will open at 10 a. m., on the 16th., when various committees on the business affairs of the As- sociation of Former Students, will convene at the office of the As- sociation in the M. E. Building. These committees, and the officers of the organization, will make their reports at the annual Business Meeting to be held in the “Y” Chapel at 2:30 that afternoon. Election of Directors and officers and other business of the corpora- tion will be transacted at the after- noon meeting.
