MOIITS ELECT DELEGATES
At Business Meeting Wednesday
Four Senior Representatives to
< Houston Convention Chosen.
Amid much enthusiasm the A. and
M. Horticultural Society met in Pro
fessor Kyle’s office Wednesday night
for the regular weekly meeting. The
meeting was called to order by D. T.
Stevens, president of the society, who
announced the program for the even
ing. No regular speakers were on the
program, as this was strictly a busi
ness meeting, and the whole hour was
devoted to the discussing and arrang
ing of plans for the publishing of all
papers to be read before the society
at the regular meetings in the leading-
agricultural and some local papers of
the state, and the electing of four
members to represent the society at
the meeting of the state convention
at Houston.
First the publicity problem was
taken up and thoroughly discussed.
The society decided and arranged to
have their papers, as yead before the
society at their regular meetings, pub
lished in one or more of the leading-
agricultural and some local papers.
Three professors from the Agricul
tural Department were appointed to
look over all papers and correct them,
if necessary, before they go to the
press, and assist the members of the
society in securing literature for such
subjects as will be taken up for pub
lication. Professor Blackmon made a
talk encouraging this movement and
offered a gold medal to the student
putting up the best set of papers
throughout the year. This doubtless
will cause hard work by the senior
and junior members of the society.
Next on the program was the elec
tion of four seniors from the society
to be on the regular program of the
state convention of the State Horti
cultural Society, to be held in Hous
ton in January. The members elected
were D. T. tSevens, I. E. Cowart, E. L.
Ayers and E. W. Laake.
The next regular meeting will take
place at the usual hour, 7:30 p. m.,
in Professor Kyle’s office next
Wednesday night. The speaker for
the evening will be Mr. R. F. Phil
lips, who will deliver an address on
“Commercial Canning in Texas.”
We were pleased to note the great
disply of red and white bunting which
the Post building showed while we
were in Houston. From every window
of the four stories there were un
furled huge sheets of red and white;
in fact, the walls were almost covei-ed
with it.
C. 1.1 WILL NCI VISIT
PRESIDENT MILNER RECEIVES
LETTER DECLINING
INVITATION.
President Bizzel of C. I. A. Says That
Trip Will Be Impossi
ble Now.
Ever since it became known that
President Miner had extended an in
vitation to our fair sisters at C. I. A.
to pay us a visit, the hopes of the
cadets have been raised to the skies
and it is with deep regret that we are
forced to announce that the C. I. A.
girls can not come. President Milner
has just received a letter from Presi
dent Bizzel of C. I. A. stating that
the girls are wild to visit us, and that
he would like very much to accept
President Milner’s invitation, but that
the distance and the interference with
the regular work will make the trip
impossible at this time.
MISSISSIPPI SENIORS STRIKE
STRIKERS MAY COME TO TEXAS
A. AND M.
!
Number of Telegrams Received Ask- |
ing for Admittance
Here.
The students of the Mississippi A.
and M., led by the senior class, are
on strike. The spirit of rebellion,
which has pervaded the student body
for more than a year, came to a head
last Thursday when the senior class
passed resolutions calling on Vice
President Magruder and President
Hightower for a public apology for
having an order issued prohibiting the
cadets from visiting the young ladies
in their rooms during vacant hours or
in chapel. At a later meeting of the
faculty ninety-six seniors were dis
missed for fomenting the rebellion
and for other causes.
Last Sunday Professor Morgan re
ceived a telegram from some of the
seniors inquiring whether they would
be admitted into the senior class of
this college. The repy was that with
an honorable dismissal they would be
allowed to enter.

Who’s the chump on the white
chalked field, who possesses a noodle
that he knows how to wield, and
rushes here and passes there and di
rect the team and loves to dare to
carry the ball through the opposing
side with no seeming care for hair,
limb or hide? Who pats a big line
man and a halve or two, and then
taps another and another too, and
then sends his backfield thundering
past, on the road for a long gain or a
touchdown, perhaps? Who dotes on
electing himself, per se, to trot with
the oval on any old day and wiggles
and squirms, and turns round and
round, dives high in the air and
crawls on the ground, does the turkey
trot and the Boston Dip clear up to
the goal posts and beyond, kerzipp
and then launches forth that smile
with a vim, that knocks down and
drags out that of old Sunny Jim?
Who does all this and a lot more, by
dern? Why, that’s easy—he’s our
tramp, our bum, our own Bobbie Kern.
