The members of the Fayette County Club enjoyed a delightful box party at the moving picture show, Saturday, November 21. Immediately after the show the club proceeded to the club room, where a table was laden with all kinds of good “eats,” and drinks. However, the drink was nothing stronger than hot chocolate. The president called the meeting to -order in his usual “charming” manner. It was decided by the club that the members have individual pictures ta ken in “cits” for the club picture to be put in the Long Horn. After all the business was transacted the meeting was turned into a social and the new members were sworn in. SAN FRANCISCO TRIP NOT ABANDONED. “Red” Allen Explains Lull and Gives Plans as They Now Stand. For some time those who are at the head of the movement to take the ca det corps to San Francisco to the Pan ama-Pacific Exposition in June, 1915, have maintained a “deathly silence.” No idea of dropping the trip is enter tained, however. The delay has been occassioned by “hard times talk.” Present indications are that the corps will not be over-burdened with funds in June, 1915, and all possibility of raising any great amount of money by means of entertainments, benefit performances, growing of crops and other ideas, which were formulated last year, is now a thing of the past. When the movement was first urged it was the idea of those who were its chief advocates to raise as much money as they could by means sug gested above. At that time it was thought that a sum of $4,000 or an amount in that neighborhood could be raised. The idea of asking the Legis lature for an appropriation of $10,000 also was considered, and had, not the present financial stringency arisen, might have been carried thru to a successful accomplishment. Now all hope of securing funds from the State is practically abandoned. The idea of having the local alumni in various cities of the State conduct benefit per formances for this fund has been given up, too, as theatrical performances of the very best nature are not receiving good patronage. The indication now is that no money will be forthcoming from any source, and that individuals will have to bear all of their expenses. The trip can be made, as a corps, for at least $100 less than the members of the corps could make it traveling as individuals. The government will maintain a military post for the entertainment of the va rious military college regiments, and A. & M. can receive the benefit of this camp in June, as was- originally planned. The government will fur nish tents and cots free and will con duct a mess, at which meals may be secured at the rate of 40 or 50 cents per day. The rate as defined at present will be $50 for the round trip, with any stop-over privileges desired. Tourist sleepers may be secured for the corps, and by using these cars, which are used by the government in transport ing troops, the cost of the trip will be greatly reduced. It would seem that by going as a corps the trip can be made for $100 per man, or threabouts, leaving a mar gin for amusements and side-trips. At least 300 o? the members of the corps are planning to make the trip whether the regiment goes or not. If a sufficient number of boys will make the trip to insure a good represntation, there seems to be no reason why these men should not reorganize the regi ment shortly before school closes and make the trip as a corps, saving much money for themselves and insuring a spirit of comradeship thruout the en tire trip. After the Christmas holidays, when the men have paid their maintenance for the second term and have squared themselves with the 'world, a canvass of the corps will be made to see how many boys will make the trip and then plans for the excursion will be taken up an carried thru to a successful ac complishment.
