Plates Highly Praised by Wedgwood Orders for A. & M. commemo- rative plates have received from many sections of the world, as well as from Texas, according to P. L. Downs, Jr. '05, of the A. & M. Commemorative Plate Asso- ciation, of Temple. Among recent orders received for the plates were those from Major D. C. Kelly, ’16, Corozal, Canal Zone; W.F. Deane, ’30, Unalaska, Alaska; Thomas R. Warrick, ’30; Caripito, Venezuela. Another interesting detail regard- ing the plate orders, is the fact that out of the first 100 dozen orders, 92 wanted the ‘original edition”. The length of time required for delivery of the plates was ex- plained in a recent letter received by Mr. Downs from Mr. Kennard Wedgwood, Board Chairman of Josiah Wedgwood & Sons, Ltd., of Etruria, England. Mr Wedgwood personally explained the de- tails by which these plates will be made and stated that it is sometimes necessary to re-en- grave and perhaps change color formulas to get the correct deep colors sought. The painstaking work of this kind has been one of the reasons why Wedgwood china has been world famous for over two centuries. The A. &. M. Memorial Plate Aasociation has instructed the Wedgwood Com- panies to take whatever time necessary, in order to turn out a perfect product.

Stach says that he is enjoying the TEXAS AGGIE This Baylor Painting Last Friday in Waco publications were printed certain items re- lating an interesting but false story of the party of A and M cadets who seized a can of red paint and, after giving the Aggie campus a thorough coating, betook themselves to the Baylor campus, which they likewise colored up to their own satisfaction and all Waco’s chagrin. This is not true. College spirit at Aggieland this year has been orderly. The truth of the matter, discovered Saturday by investigating on the Baylor campus, is that a Baylor ex-yell leader ingeniously de- vised the plan of painting a little on his own volition and resting the blame on Aggies in order to arouse his school, team, and enough of Waco to insure a fair gate receipt. Also released to newspapers was an account of the Baylor lad who flew his plane over our campus and dropped death messages. Which makes good writing, anyway. There has been not one spot of red paint dabbed on our campus save in its proper place, and not a whole lot was smeared on Baylor's buildings. The whole scheme was doubtlessly a “publicity stunt” to liven up a homecoming, which is quite all right in one respect and not quite all right in another. That an ex-student clever enough to make an already interesting spectacle just a bit more interesting plans and executes this little caper is in the main harmless, providing he pays for it himself. But when the cost is transferred to another school, as it was in this case when certain undesirable reflections were cast on the cadet corps through state-wide news releases, sanctioned by the sufferers. the act can not and will not be The A and M cadet corps, we wish to make clear, does not execute such pranks on any college. That false news release, the origin of which we tactfully refuse to discover, have put us in this untrue light is most unfortunate. We regret it. —From The Battalion Ray C.
