THE BULLETINETTE
EDiTOR’S NOTE.
The editors of this edition have
frequently observed that The Bulle
tin, because of limited space has long
been unable to give a complete ac
count of college events, and when
considered as a college daily, has
failed to give its readers a true per- j
spective of college life. Matters of
life and death have received only
the most trival mention, and an
nouncements of supreme importance
have often gone unpublished. This
proves a serious handicap to cadets,
especially when students are not in
formed as to newly made instruc
tions and military regulations, where
a failure of observance involves
grave consequences for the offender.
Realizing the need for a larger
circulation of college news among
the students, faculty and campus res
idents, the editors are devoting a
section of this edition as a supple
ment to The Bulletin, in which is
published all the more important an
nouncements, and news of events
which do not happen in A. and M.
This step is taken with some hesi
tancy, but it is hoped that the sec
tion will meet with approbation and
be of some local interest possibly, as
well as beneficial to the public.
VII. To talk only to those who
have good “lines” of duty.
VIII. To allow no one to commit
suicide on or near my post.
IX. In any case not covered by
instructions to take any Freshman’s
advice.
X. To salute.
XI. To salute all Fish, Frogs and
Sardines not canned.
XII. To be especially watchful
at night, and, during the period for
conversation, to hold a “bull pen”
with all persons on or near my post,
and allow no one to pass without
holding a “session” with him:
