Fot such acta they' have been just as frequently criticised severely. But i| they have been in contact with concerns as the'A. A M. College de pends upon for interurban service* we have sympathy for them in this case. It is no more than natural that a body of people who make a business possible, should expect court- eey and a show of willingness to —ftanra. This is I what the Egtenaioq ’ Workers, facalty, end student body t t of this college- expect of the Bryan aad College Interurban Company. Do they gel it? Wo do not desire to be unreasonable and it is far from our motiVe to be simply fault finding-; nevertheless, it is with the greatest sineertiy that we answer this ques tion with a most emphatic NO. Thd interurban officials have been infogaif ed this change in A. and M. setaedf ules. . npeeially in regard to taps. Yet the last car from Bryan leaves at the same time as when taps sound- 1 ed an hour rand a half earlier. This fact cauees cadets to lose over an hour on a pass of the same exteat as a few weeks ago. Retreat i* an hour later and a cadet returning from Bryan at night via the interurban must leave an hour before tape. Again, for years the interurban company has witnesses the overload- i ing on Saturday afternoons. It is not exceptional. • It ia the iula.

They allow as many j to crowd in one c«^r as can find stand- i ing or hanging room without regard . for sex or color.; They politely <?» | inform commuters whe have the courage to ask About another can that that “The next car runs in ex actly one hour.’* ' . When called upon to run a mid night car to accomodate those who attend the corps danceg, they admit that they might run one but at the same time they cover the admissn a | by making a charge that gave the ; committee who asked, the impression { that they were being called Upon 36 purchase interest in the company, not tickets to Bryan. Wah this { quite the thing to do when it is eon- ! aidered that the college ma^ee. Me company possible? We do not con sider that it was. ’ . ■ j] • .

The student Aants a good place to study in all right, bdt he surely would not come to aiphlCO just because it outclassed other schools in buildings. Bis primary purpose was to come to be taught something. This in-not to come out with any narrow or unjast statement for there are multitudes of problems and conditions connected with get ting and maintaining a teach;n£ staff that an outsider knows absolutely nothing.

It wiiraot be attempted to explain this. Ilmt-it aurely ought not to be as hard to hold a good professor as to get a building which mounts far up in the thousands in cost. The student really graves good instruction wheth er, he can • locate his ailing or not. Although he may be to blame some, the student must have some ground at least when he is always scheming how to dodge a class or ia in a per petual disgruntled mood.
