REDHEADED CLUB
IS GIVEN RECEPTION
Friday evening after r“retreat” the
red-headed cadets in the corps saluted
out of ranks and gathered beore Mil
ner Hall, the home of “Red” Allen,
from which place they marched over
to the home of Prof. Kyle. When
they entered his home they found the
light globes shaded with red tissue
paper and red candles burning at dif
ferent points in the house. They
were received by Prof, and Mrs. Kyle
and Dr. and Mrs. Bizzell.
After a time refreshments, consist
ing of those two things dear to boys’
hearts — punch and oysters — were
served. After refreshments Allen led
off the toasts with a tribute to Mrs.
Kyle. Gillespie came next and he
was then followed by various others
who had toasts to offer. The last
speech of the occasion was delivered
by Prof. Kyle. In it he voiced his de
sire to see a closer relationship
brought about between faculty and
students and exprest his pleasure that
Mrs. Kyle and he were thus able to do
something toward furthering this
condition.

J. M. STONE MEETS SUCCESS.

is now breeding Shorthorn cattle and
is one of the most successful breeders
in the State. At the Dallas Fair he
met with much success. He had a
champion bull and cow besides many
other winners.
THE FIVE-DOLLAR
ATHLETIC FEE AT LAST!
The proposition of having the .col
lege require a five-dollar athletic fee
from all students at the beginning of
the year was brought before the corps
in a chapel meeting last Wednesday
night and adopted without opposition.
A petition requesting the board of
directors to place this charge among
the fixed entrance fees is being or
will be circulated in all the com
panies.
The payment of this fee will entitle
each cadet to attend all local athletic
contests without additional expense,
and will really be a saving to the
students as individuals. Other ad
vantages will be the saving of time
now spent in collecting money from
the companies, the advantage of a
definite income on which the Athletic
Association can make its calculations
in advance and with accuracy, and
the greatly increased number of
cadets who will hereafter attend the
local games and serve to keep up the
pep.
The Battalion is glad to see this
long-discust come to pass.

warm weather, but in winter we think
he looks better carrying a muff.—
