NEW CORPS OFFICERS
For the beneft of the new men com
ing to college and as a help to the
old students, the Battalion is taking
the liberty of printing a list of officers
elected at the close of the session of
1913-14. These men have been placed
in these positions to push the college
activities, and it is very necessary that
every man in the school do his best to

of 1914-15 the best year that the Texas
A. & M. College has ever seen:

Y. M. C. A. ADDRESS.
Dr. Bizzell addressed the Y. M. C. A.
last Sunday night on the subject, “The
Perils of an Empty Life.” His talk
was short and pointed and had the
“punch’’ to drive home his meaning.
He said the danger of college life is
not in the busy hours, but in the leis
ure hours, when college men dispose
of time in their own way. The disas
ter that fell to pleasure-seeking, li
centious Rome, as a result of her leis
ure hours, was used as an illustration.
In his preliminary remarks “Prexy”
said he was afraid for the time to come
when he should be compelled to send
his boy and girl away to college. This
statement brought very near to us
the perils of college life and then
when he told of the last day at home
when he left the college, a young boy,
just starting out, there were response
chords struck on the heartstrings of
many men.
The attendance at the Y. M. C. A.
meetings indicates a great interest in
the programs. The song service is
good and the fellowship is fine.
Cadets who believe they cannot spare
the time to attend these meetings are
mistaken. A real college man learns
[Id schedule his work so he may partic
ipate in the important activities of col
lege life.
BRYA'NT-BATTE.
Prof. W. T. Bryant of the chemical
department of the A. & M. College and
Miss Lillian Batte, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. T. R. Batte of Bryan, were united
in marriage Wednesday afternoon, Oc
tober 7th, at the home of the bride’s
parents, Rev. M. E. Weaver, pastor of
the First Baptist Church officiating.
The happy young couple left immedi
ately for Galveston, where they will
spend a short time on their wedding
trip. Mr. and Mrs. Bryant will make
their home in Bryan, and Prof. Bryant
will assume his duties at A. 0 M. Col
lege as usual.
RECEPTION FRIDAY NIGHT.
The faculty and officers of the Ag-
gricultural and Mechanical College,
cordially invite the people of the cam
pus, the members of the Senior class
and the people of Bryan to attend an
informal reception complimentary to
President and Mrs. W. B. Bizzell, Mr.
and Mrs. Clarence Ousley and Lieu
tenant Janes R. Hill, Friday evening,
October 9, 1914, from 8:00 to 10:30
p. m.
The reception will be held in the
Academic Building, second floor.
There will be no personal invitations.

ATHLETICS AT THE UNIVERSITY.
University Station, Oct. 9.—The re
sponsibility for the physical devel
opment of students in the University
of Texas rests upon the department
of physical training. Every male
Freshman entering the University
must furnish the department with a
“Personal History Blank,’’ properly
filled out, which gives complete in
formation concerning the physical
make-up of the individual who is the
subject of the same. He then under
goes a medical examination which de
scribes his present physical condi
tion accurately and in detail, so that
any abnormal or dangerous condition
can be made the subject of confer
ence with the athletic directors and
the proper exercises prescribed for.
The normal students are given the
exercises calculated best to produce
an all-round healthful symmetrical
physical development.
The prime object of the department
is not to produce athletes but to de
velop large numbers of strong, clear
headed, healthy students. This regi
me consistently followed, makes un
necessary and especial effort to se
cure athletes. They spring up natu
rally from among the thousand or
more students engaging each year in
athletic exercises at the University.
As an illustration of what this sys
tem has done for the athletic teams
of the University of Texas, the rec
ord of last season is illuminating.
The University football team sustain
ed but one defeat, and that at the
hands of a team which defeated West
Point and was considered among the
five strongest teams of the whole
country. The University basketball
and socer teams were undefeated, and
champions of the Southwest. The
University tennis team came out of a j
hard season champion of the South
west and to this distinction added al
so the scalps of Illinois and Missouri
Universities. In track athletics, the
University of Texas team was victor
over the team holding the Southern
championship. University wrestlers
defeated the best wrestlers of the
University of Nebraska, which insti
tution was champion of the ^Missouri
Valley Conference. The baseball
team took twenty-three straight vic
tories from college teams, thus break
ing the world’s collegiate record for
straight victories.
In short, the University teams won
distinction in every competitive test
they entered.

University, Station, Oct. 9.—War
and financial depression have failed
to cut down the enrollment at the
University of Texas. There are 1929
students registered during the first
four days of registration, and more
upper-classmen registered than dur
ing the corresponding das’s of any
previous year. Professor John Keen,
who superintends the matriculation of
students from other colleges at both
the Main University and at the Med
ical Department predicts an increased
attendance during the year of this
class of students of at least 20 per
cent.
LYCEUM TICKETS ON SALE.
Tickets for the 1914-15 Lyceum at
traction are now on sale by the cap
tains of companies and other men
working the campus. Charlie Nitch,
the College tailor has offered to give
the man selling the most tickets a pair
of “Charley Made” trousers, either
uniform or citizens.
The Lyceum course for this year is
the best that has ever been secured
for this place. Higher class and
higher priced attractions have been
booked in the hopes that the campus
people and cadets will take advantage
of this opportunity to attend some
good entertainments. There are thir
ty-five people in the course, each of
whom is a star in his particular attrac
tion. Twenty-six of these thirty-five
people are girls, and good looking girls,
too.
’ The Assembly Hall has been re
paired and thus a great deal better
place is provided in which to show.
The following is a list of attractions
with the date on which they will ap
pear:
Nov. 12, Apollo Concert Co.
Nov. 28, Hampton Court Singers.
Jan. 14, Rounds Ladies Orchestra.
March 1, Edwin Brush, Magician.
March 13, Anon Sketch Club.
The price of a single season ticket
is $2.25; family $5.00. $1.50 will be
saved by buying a season ticket, be
sides helping the Long Horn.
“BEING HUMAN” IS GOOD BUSI
NESS.
He was a prominent football player
at College, and soon after graduation
became interested in the industrial
service movement. In considering the
human side of his engineering job, he
was faced with his responsibility to
ward his foreign employes. Though
he was general superintendent of the
works, he was not too “big” a man to
teach his foreigners English five nights
a week in his own office. He writes:
“The satisfaction and pleasure I get
is sufficient to make me feel selfish,
and then, too, I know it is an asset
for the men, and my employer re
ceives better service. I can say hon
estly that this friendly basis with my
men helps rather than hurts disci
pline. I cannot see the wisdom of
unwillingness to stand shoulder to
shoulder with any man, foreigner or
otherwise. I am trying to lead my
men by example. The work I am do
ing is but a beginning of what my
company hopes to do. Some one must
make a Ittle sacrifice, and why turn
it over to “George?’’ One has nothing
to fear on the familiarity score, if he
will be frank with the men and keep
constantly in mind that they are men,
and that what is good for you is good
for them. I have known men advo
cating the aloof attitude, who did it
because they were, down deep in their
hearts, “yellow,” and it is the hard
est thing in the world to fool the fel
lows who work under you; much hard
er, in fact, than to deceive your supe
riors.
Play fair! Give the Brenham Laun
dry a chance. If it doesn’t do high-
class work you do not have to pay for
it.—Sam Farrell, Agent.
