College Press Service
B. U., Nov. 5.—To organize High
School Press Clubs and to have them
represented here this winter, is a plan
of the Baylor Press Club. To benefit
High School editors and publications
and to widen the influence of Baylor
are the two purposes of the meeting.
T. C. U., Nov. 3.—Following the
establishment of the honor system in
T. C. U. by the vote of the student
body and faculty, the Student Council
began its formal jurisdiction over all
casses of cheating and stealing, which
arise on the university campus, this
week. The council consists of ten
representatives, one from each depart
ment of the university The council
will have absolute control ever all
questions of honor among the students.
This is the first time the system has
been tried at T. C. U., and a strong
effort is being made to get the hearty
co-*operation of the entire student body
in making it a success.
T. C. U., Nov. 3.—The Fresh-Soph j
Hallowe’en party turned out to be a
sad affair on Hallowe’en eve, when
the upperclassmen raided the pantry
at the house in which it was given,
overpowered the guard which had
been placed there to protect the re
freshments, and made off with several
dozen pies, a crate of apples and a
churn of hot chocolate. The hungry
freshies and sophs revenged them
selves on their dignified upperclass
men by rolling the seniors’ bale of
cotton from the university to a park
about a quarter of a mile away. They
laughed best for they laughed last
when the senors brought their bale
back the next day.
SMALL NUMBER “FLUNK ’OUT.’
It is interesting to note that the
number of men sent home this year
is smaller than it has ever been in

ATTENTION ALUMNI!
In this issue you will find the first write-up in the se
ries, “Wno s Wno at A. M.” In tms series we will tell
wno the cauets of prominence now are in your alma mater,
anu wny tney are prominent. These articles will be of
interest to you, we know, if you still have the old A. <& M.
spirit. If you have a son or near relative here now you may
be surprised at any time to rind his name among the
“great' and “near-great.” For lurtner explanation, see
the editorial page.
After Christmas the Battalion is going to publish in
installments a history of the college—a tiling never at
tempted at A. & M. before—and you cannot afford to miss
it. ir you have any interesting bits of information that you
would like to have incorporated into this history, we would
be glad to have them.
Next June the corps plans to visit the Panama-Pacific
Exposition in a body under military discipline, and a liberal
estimate now places the cost of this trip at $100 per indi
vidual. A. & M. will then advertise Texas to the world.
If you have the slightest interest in the cadets now in
the college, if you want to read the history oof A. & M., or
if you have a son here who plans to go to San Francisco,
or if you would likie to go with the corps yourself, it is to |
your interest to subscribe for the Battalion and keep in
touch with these things. Beginning with this issue, we
will send you the Battalion the remainder of the year for
only one dollar. Can you afford to neglect this offer? A.
& M. now has the best president in its history, and the stu
dent body and faculty are working side by side for the good
of the college. Subscribe for the Battalion, get in touch
with the college, and lend a hand in the upbuilding of your
alma mater.
recent years. So far only eight men
have been required to withdraw, while
thirteen are allowed to stay condi
tionally. Dr. Bizzell has made the fol
lowing statement: “It is the policy
of the faculty to advise withdrawal
only in case of those students who
have shown clearly that college work
is too difficult for them to pursue
with advantage. Each student who
has failed to make the required ten
hours has been advised to return to
high school or preparatory school and
spend the year in preparation for re
entering next fall. Practically every
one of the eight students whose with
drawal has been recommended has
been asked to do so because of insuf
ficient preparation rather than indif
ference in work. It is expected that
most of these men will return next
fall prepared to resume their work.”
It is expected that the new entrance
requirements that go into effect next
year will do away with so many men
failing to pass their work as it will
prevent men from entering who are
not prepared to do the Avork required
of them.
Y. M. C. A. ADRRESS LAST SUNDAY
The Y. M. C. A. was indeed fortu
nate in having Rev. Peter Gray Sears
of Houston as speaker Sunday night.
The speaker, in his characteristic,
forceful Avay, expanded upon his
theme of the morning. In his talk he
brought out and clearly impressed his
audience with the thought that every
man should take Jesus Christ as his
ideal and live, that when the time
comes for him to leave this world
he will not have lived in vain, but like
the Savior, can truthfuly write well
done at the end of his record.
FIRST COPY OF LASS-O RE
CEIVED.
We are in receipt of the first issue
of the Lass-O, the newsy little sheet
noAv being published weekly by C. I.
A. It is chock full of interesting
news and is well patronized by the
Denton advertisers.
RABBI COHEN TO SPEAK SUNDAY.
On Sunday, Nov. 14th, Rabbi Henry
Cohen of Galveston Avill conduct the
chapel services. Rabbi Cohen has
favored us with at least one sermon a
year for the past few seasons. It is
significant that on the Sundays when
it has been advertised that Rabbi Co
hen would conduct the services there
were intentional absentees from
chapel, and this speaks volumes for
Rabbi Cohen.
FIRE PREVENTION.
By S. W. Inglish, State Fire Marshal.
Electricity is a Avonderful thing. It
is a trinity of mysteries. It has light,
it has poAver, it has heat. When
properly confined it is man’s servan:;
it is woman’s labor saver.
But familiarity with electricity
breeds danger. It provides fuel for
the fire demon. It works in a Avonder
ful way. A careful inspection of
Aviring today may save a cankering
regret tomorrow.
There is no light of prosperity, no
poAver to undo, no heat to make the
heart glow in the ruins of a home.
Is your house Avired properly Has
time corroded the insulation that con
fines this wonderful fluid in the little
copper wires? Don’t suppose so—do
you know it?
If the wiring in your residence is
not properly inspected you may pay
out the savings of a lifetime as a re
sult.
Play safe!
