Mg BOARD OF

The Board pf Directors of the
A. and M. 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

question tb*n arises, shall the stu

are paying for-it.
We have th4 impression that the

The Agricultural and Meehan*

that The Battalion may be tjbu

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

change with us, we believe that
the College will' be benefited by

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 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.
