Estimate of Expenses Shows Trip
Can Be Made Cheaply by Char
tering Tourist Cars.
Are you going to San Francisco this
summer? At least one car and per
haps two cars of A. & M. students,
faculty members and officers of the
college will leave for San Francisco
immediately after the close of school
—June 9. Another meeting will be
held this week some time when defin
ite plans will be made. Come out.
This party will travel in tourist
sleeper cars and an effort is being
made to secure cafe tourist cars.
Two reasons are offered in favor
of the plan to go together in these
chartered cars, not as representatives
of the college, hut as individuals. In
the first place, the trip can be made
much more cheaply that way than in
any other way. And in the second
place, the trip will be more pleasant
as each man will have with him those
with whom he is well acquainted.
Sleeper fare and dining car ex
penses to the exposition and hack will
constitute one of the heaviest ex
penses the men will meet if they
make the trip later in the summer
and individually. Straight Pullman
fare there and back is $21.50, and the
minimum estimate for meals en route
on a basis of ten days is $2.50 per
day, or $25 for the trip.
Kitchen tourist cars cost $35 per
day. Included in that is, of course,
the sleeper service, and two chefs
and a porter are furnished by the
Pullman Company. These are four
teen section cars and may be occupied
very pleasantly by forty-two men, two
to the lower berths and one to the
uppers. The forty-two men sharing
equally the cost of chartering this cat
will make the expense per man per
day 85c, or $8.50 for the time that
will be consumed in making the round
trip with stopovers of several hours
in Denver, Colorado Springs and Salt
Lake City.
This car can be stocked Avith food
to last through the ten days, the
maximum amount required being
$200, which will make the cost per
man about $5 for the round trip.
Here are the estimated expenses
of such a trip:
Railroad fare (round trip).... $52.50
Sleeper fare (including hire of
chefs) 8.50
Stocking kitchen car with sup
plies 5.00
Hotel at exposition one week. . 25.00

Contrasted to this expense is an esti
mate of the cost where regular
sleeper fare is paid:

Meals en route ten days at
* $2.50 25.00

LETTERS ARE AWARDED
TO NINE TRACK MEN
BY ATHLETIC COUNCIL
Speed Artists Made Splendid Records
This Season Despite Many
Difficulties.
At a meeting of the Athletic Coun
cil Monday night, letters were award
ed to nine track men. Those receiv
ing letters were Dudley Everett, car-
tain and hurdle man; Rothe, whose
work in the vaults and broad jump
has been especially good; Turner,
who was good in the quarter-mile and
broad jump; Haines, whose work with
the shotput and the discus won many
points for A. & M.; Schuchardt, who
next to Brooks was a consistent win
ner in pole vaulting; Mitchell, who
Avas the Farmers’ best bet in the
dashes; Nick Braumiller, Avho heaved
the discus and threAV the hammer;
Collins, who was a fiend in the
dashes, and Brooks, who broke all
records in pole vaulting.
“T AMC’S” were aAvarded “Bullet”
Moses, one of the fastest distance
men who has ever enrolled at A. &
M.; de Montel, who was good in the
hurdles, and Rogers, who also went
well in the hurldes.
Notwithstanding a series of in
juries and accidents Avhich would
have made many a team quit the race,
the Farmers stuck to their posts, fin
ishing second in the Texas meet and
third in the Southwestern. Coach
Clutter Avorked unceasingly with his
men and not only won the thanks of
the corps for the showing made by
the team, hut Avon the highest esteem
and friendship of every man under
him.
In the beginning “Pete” Everett
was out of the going because of a bad
knee. Since that time Joe Turner,
Rothe, Collins, Shiner, Brooks and
others of the track men have suffered
more or less severe injuries and in
juries which kept them from making
their best records. The track team
Avorked in the face of every difficulty,
as no funds were provided except
through the heroic Avork of Manager
Scott. Their splendid shoAving in the
face of all of these difficulties has
been the cause of tnuch gratification
to students and track fans at the col
lege.
The captain for 1916 has not been
elected.
“RUNT”HANSON URGES
CADETS TO GET
TICKETS FOR FINAL BALL.
That the invitations to the com
mencement exercises and final ball this
year are the most handsome ever put
out by the cadet corps is the statement
of W. K. “Runt” Hanson, chairman of
the finance committee. The invita
tions Avere secured at a greatly reduced
figure, Hanson says.
“Cadets are not responding in the
manner they should with reference to
the final ball,” the- chairman com
plains. “But few of them have paid
their assessments. It takes money to
put out an attractive and representa
tive program and the final ball, the big
gest social event of the year, costs
money. So far the boys have not come
up with their assessments as they
should, and I hope that they will ‘kick
in’ when they read this.
“Prospects just now are that the fi
nal ball this commencement will be
larger than any held before We are
negotiating for good music, 'and I am
sure that the programs and invitations
are about the most attractive ever put
put.
“Faculty members also will havp an
opportunity to buy tickets to the ball.
/No one will be admitted who does not
hold a ticket, so put up.”
Charles Davis, captain and adjutant,
of Corsicana was elected president of
the final ball, and will lead the grand
march.
ARCHITECTURAL CLUB.
A Avell attended meeting of the
Architectural Club Avas held last Fri
day night. The good attendance was
due, in some measure, to the passage
of the “Thick Malted Fine Bill,” which
met with such hearty approval at the
previous meeting. HoAvever, it was
not altogether coercion that brought
Prof. Adelsperger out, but an uncon-
trolable desire to come in on the
“Thick Malteds.” ’Tis a poor rule that
doesn’t work two ways.
The club was successful in electing
an exceptionally good line of officers
for the ensuing year. President J. D.
BroAvn has the club’s intersts at heart
and will make a progressive head. He
has already laid plans to extend the
“Thick Malted” rule to apply to all
honorary members and to Professor
Giest. Vice-President H. A. Jopling
is an expert in filling the chair in the
absence of the president. Ben Irby,
secretary-treasurer, has laid extensHe
plans for the safe custody of the
club’s funds—when it has any. The
folloAving entry was made on the club’s
records: Camp, T. R., to be sergeant-
at-arms.
After a short statement of the finan
cial status of the 1915 Architectural
Year Book, the club proceeded to elect
1916 edior and business manager. The
editorship fell to Jopling, Avho has
demonstrated his ability as this year’s
manager. D. B. Milner was chosen new
business manager. The club adjourn
ed sine die.
