FAYETTE COUNTY CLUB.
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.

The second lyceum attraction of the
season, presented at the College City
Opera House on Monday night,
November 30, was well received. The
company, the Hampton Court Singers,
consisted of three ladies and two gen
tlemen. The program was musical
thruout and was generously applaud
ed. Each member was well versed in
his part so that the entire perform
ance was a rare treat to the connois
seurs in the corps and on the campus.
The appreciation of the cadet corps
was shown by the liberal attendance,
and it is expected that many more
season tickets will be sold before the
next number, which will be given on
the coming Saturday night, Decem
ber 5.
