College Station, Tex., October 27, 1314 Having found that it is impossible to ^get fresh news to its readers so long as its day of publication is Fri day, the Battalion is this week chang ing its day of publication to Tuesday. Nearly all college news of importance happens in the latter part of the week and, under the old plan, this news could not be published without about one week’s delay. All material should hereafter be handed in by Sunday at noon, and no material will be accepted after Monday morning at 8 o’clock. The Battalion notes with pleasure that most of the organizations now being formed among the students are electing reporters. This is the only way to incure an account of eery meeting being printed and being writ ten in style to suit the members of the organization. College Press Service Trinity University, Oct. 19.—The Trinity University Volunteer Band, which furnished music for the first football game, has been growing ever since. On Saturday the band added much life and “pep” to the entire Trin ity delegation, from the time they left home until the end of the game. We are indeed proud of our band, which promises music for all games and many other occasions throughout the entire year. Trinity University, Oct. 19.—In a joint meeting of the Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. Friday we were fortunate in hav ing J. E. Aubrey of the Redpath Chautauqua Association to give us one of his up-to-the-minute addresses, his subject being “Get Ready.” B. U„ Oct. 22.—Religious statistics of Baylor show that over 82 per cent of the student body are Christians, with practically all belonging to one of nine denominations — Baptists, Methodists, Presbyterians, etc., in the order named. Out of the 708 students canvassed, 100 were non-Christian, and 106 preachers. The figures show that the 106 preachers last year raised over $48,000 for religious causes and delivered 8,535 sermons and ad dresses. The analysis shows an av erage of three evangelistic meetings per preacher with o\ r er twenty-six con verts. The average number of men attend ing the Y. M. C. A. last year was 229, while the Y. W. C. A. had a member ship of 183. T. C. U., Oct. 22.—E. R. Bentley, manager of the Intercollegiate Press Service, states that the girls of the College of Industrial Arts at Denon are planning to issue a weekly paper. They have been publishing a monthly, the Daedalion, but believe that they have now reached the point where they need of a weekly to chronicle the hap- pennings of their college. They have been asked to be admitted to the In tercollegiate Press Association in or der that they may keep up with the activities in the other schools of Texas. Trinity University, Oct. 19.—Trinity Day at the Dallas Fair was a success. About 150 students left Waxahachie on special cars Saturday morning, re turning after the banquet that night. The main feature of the day was the football game with Baylor in the after noon. The crowd showed considera ble “pep,’’ and after the football game 100 students, besides several alumni and former students, attended the ban quet given in honor of the football team. Despite the fact that the fac ulty granted a holiday for the occasion many students were unable to go. B. U., Oct. 22.—Growing out of a recent act of Congress authorizing the free issue of rifles and ammunition to college and university rifle clubs, Baylor is now taking definite steps to ward adding this sport to her athletic aotiviies. As was made known by cor respondence only forty-two colleges with a combined enrollment of 5,000 college marksmen, are making use of this Congressional proviso. T. C. U., Oct. 22.—W. F. Reynolds, an alumnus of T. C. U., is engaged in raising a $500,000 endowment for T. C. U. among the alumni in the form of life insurance policies, made pay able to the university on the death of the alumnus who has the policy writ ten. Reynolds was one of the four men in the South who sold $1,000,000 worth of life insurance during 1913, and there is no doubt but that he will raise the endowment for T. C. U. The Brenham Steam Laundry does the very best work on suits, “reg.” trousers, hats, shirts and collars.
