In Russia and Germany the Bo'-
shevist# have frequently played havoc
with the street car systems. 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
know the why and the wherefore.
| They understand the military rr-
; quifements of the cadets and they
know at what hours to expect a rush.

demand. NO. 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

sider that it was. ’ . ■ j] • .
Possibly the officials bf the Inter- !
urban company are unable to alien-1
conditions. Possibly they are mdif- i
ferent to the existing circumstances, j
But whatever their attitude may be,
if the train schedule should ever
be changed so that cadets might g<>

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

Although he may be to blame some,
the student must have some ground

from how some courses are received,
it ia the man who teaches and not
