PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO
THE CONST! ITUTION OF THE
STDUENTS’ ASSOCIATION
Membership and Organization.
There shall be elected annually at
the beginning of each session a board
of eight members, two from each
class, who shall oversee the manage
ment and editorial policy of the Bat
talion and any other student publica
tions whose promoters may see TTt to
put them under the control of this
board. For the purposes of this
amendment, all first-year two-year
students shall be classed as Fresh
men and all second-year two-year
students shall be classed as Sopho
mores.
The eight members of this board
shall be elected at the general fall
elections in the usual way the first
year (1915). The two men in each
class shall draw lots to determine
which shall serve one year and which
shall serve two years. The second
year (1916) the terms of office of one
man in each class shall expire and
his successor shall be elected at the
general fall election, he himself being
eligible for re-election; this process
continuing indefinitely. The presi
dent of the Students’ Association
shall be ex-officio president of this
board and shall preside at all meet
ings, but shall vote only in case of.
a tie. The members of this hoard
shall, immediately after the election
each year, elect from among them
selves a vice-president and an auuitor.
The auditor shall be an underclass
man.
Management of the Finances.
This publication board shall require
the business manager of the Battalion
to prepare and submit to the auditor
an itemized statement of the income,
expenses, profits and circulation of
the Battalion each month, and the
board shall meet the first week of the
month succeeding that for which the
report is made and receive the report.
The first business manager who takes
office after the adoption of this
amendment shall submit to the audi
tor of the hoard a full statement of
the advertising rates of the Battalion,
and the hoard shall see that the rates
are thereafter kept as constant as
possible.
From the profits of the Battalion
the editor-in-chief and the business
manager shall each receive a salary
of ten dollars per calendar month, or
such larger sum as the board may
decide upon, and in addition the busi
ness manager shall receive 50 per
cent of all profits above the cost of
publication and the salaries of him
self and the editor-in-chief. He shall
deduct this amount monthly and turn
over to the auditor the remaining 50
per cent, who shall expend it in buy
ing desks, chairs and typewriters for
the Battalion, or in such other ways
as he is directed by the hoard.
If in any month the profits from
the Battalion are not as much as $20,
the profits which are made shaft be
divided equally between the editor
and the business manager, and the
surplus from other months of that
year shall be used to pay the deficit.
If the profits of the whole year are
not sufficient to pay the stated sal
aries of the editor and the business
manager, the profits for that year
shall be divided equally between
them and no debt for their salaries
shall be carried over to the succeed
ing year.
The board shall carry over all un
paid debts or surplus funds of any
year to succeeding years. The board
shall, upon terms, recommended by
the business manager, offer subscrip
tions to the Battalion for a term of
years at reduced prices, and shall
carry over these subscriptions from
year to year, prorating the money re
ceived over the years covered by the
subscriptions.
The auditor shall keep in perma
nent form a complete record of the
actions of the board and shall publish
in the Battalion at the end of each
year a summarized statement of the
income, expenses and profits of the
Battalion, and shall include a copy
of this in his permanent records. At
the end of each year he shall store
these records, whatever surplus funds
the Battalion has on hand, and the
files of the Battalion in the possession
of the editor-in-chief in the college
vaults. No member of the board ex
cept the auditor shall receive any pay
for his services, and heo nly by a two-
thirds vote of the board. The amount
paid him shall never exceed half the
surplus turned over to him by the
business manager.
Authority of the Board.
The publication board shall map
out the general editorial policy of the
Battalion annually in all matters of
more than ordinary importance and
shall furnish further counsel to thq
editor-in-chief when he requests it,
but they shall not interfere in minor
matters. In case they wish anything
published which the editor does not
agree with, he may require them to
sign it officially.
All matters concerning the manage
ment of the Battalion on which the
editor-in-chief and the business man
ager do not agree may he referred to
the publication board for settlement.
If at any time the board shall of
ficially decide the editor-in-chief or
business manager to be unfit for the
position he holds because of incompe
tence, rashness, dishonesty, trickery
or contempt for authority, they may
by a two-thirds vote unseat him and
call another election to fill the va
cancy. The person unseated, how
ever shall be eligible for re-election.
The election shall be conducted and
the votes counted by the election com
mittee now provided for such pur
poses.

LADIES’ REST ROOM
OPEN AT Y. M. C. A.
Cadets are urged to make free use
of the ladies’ parlor on the second floor
of the Y. M. C. A. building when they
have young women visitors at the Col
lege, according to F. D. Steger, general
secretary of the Y. M. C. A.
“The parlor and ladies’ rest room are
set aside exclusively for use of the
women and for cadets escorting young
women,” says Secretary Steger. “Here
tofore when a boy brought a girl to
the campus he either had to walk
around the campus, invite himself to
the home of some campus family.or
go to the confectionery store. It was
to relieve this condition that the cam
pus ladies fitted up the parlor on the
second floor and the young men and in
structors are urged to make free use
of that room when in the company of
young ladies.”

ATHLETIC GROUNDS
BEING BEAUTIFIED
Under the direction of Coach Con
Lucid the grounds at Kyle Field are
being converted into a veritable
flower garden. The plot with the A.
& M. C. letters in red and white flow
ers, the college colors, is an excep
tionally pretty thing. Coach Lucid
has in mind the planting of pecan
trees around the fence, the erection
of a cement curb around the quarter-
mile track, the widening of that track
and the 220-yard straightaway, giving
A. & M. the widest track in the South.
At present the track equipment at
A. & M. is regarded as far superior
to any in the Southwest. A fifty-foot
pipe flag pole will be erected at the
grounds immediately.
