College Appropriates a certain arnouat of money every year to be ti^o<l for advertising the institution. Some of this money «9es for thei CtJlego, catalogue, while sopm isipaid for space in the dailjy panem. This is all very good as far aa; itJgoA}. It seems .to us, however! t*at ‘the students) of the Collegfc lar| pifyihg for an adver-i tisement of some importance, with out any assistsiace from the Board. The Atuhea^s are rnmnng a weekly paper called The Battalion, I .and not otdjy that. They-, through their managers, are sendiag out many eopiek o! this paper to indi- vkiual^ *thq$ia, oo lieges, and news|>ai>ers,' iji this and other stated To schools, most of them tor colleges, many of Itural colleges of other to the several great The I Battalion is expense for these about *Jo per month. ng ourselves, we ay say that The Bat- the College where- ever and whenever it is read. The question tb*n arises, shall the stu dents be the oaly one* to pay for this adv«erti^esacnt? The students are paying for-it. We have th4 impression that the Board of Director* has never of ficially noticed-.The Battaliot}. We know that the paper is not men tioned in tfie catalogue It is our purix)s< here t«b call the attention of the Directors to this state of affairs.

The Agricultural and Meehan* ical College of Texas should b* well known, first, to the studepts of the Texas High School*, and secondly, to the students of (he other Colleges and Universities throughout the copntry. By «x<t changing with the student phblipn* lions of such institutions, we haj>e that The Battalion may be tjbu means of making this College more widely known. We especially desire to exchange with the sister institutions of this College, the A. and M. Colleges of other states. The Battalion will aldb be tto the larger newspapers State. Whether or not they change with us, we believe that the College will' be benefited by their receiving the College weekly. OHE'Hl A ROOM. It has been observed that stu dents in the same room sometimes club together io subscribing for •The Battalion, taking one copy for the room. While each student i(i the room get* quite as mnch out of the paper as if he subscribed, no one of them jays his full share to its support. {' • | . I In arranging for the publication pf The Battalipn, the Busines^ Manager figured on a certain amount of supp^nt frpni the stu dents. He estimated that a certain per cent, of the students woul<t read, and pay for the paper; he did not fstimate tliat alwut one hunk dredj per cent., would read the paper, while about sixty ‘per cent, j would pay for ft, , The Battalion fa not a private enterprise, but is published by thq Students’ Association. It is just worthy of your support as is the football team; and no set o( students would think of clubhitid together to buy a football ticket! even if they could. Several years ago, when no football tickets were sold, everyone saw the games free if we choose, but he was asked to give what he could toward the snpy port of athletics. And nearly' all the cadet? gave from three to five dollars. Yon should feel the same way about The Battalion. When the Busipess Manager makes an other canvass for subscriptions,- those who have not subscribed should certkinly do so. IfHlff I Ff^T — r, ^he Battalion could be d in many ways.
