SOCIAL OBSERVATIONS
‘The Corps dance to be given in
the Mess Hall Annex Saturday night
wiil inaugurate, what we hope to a
series of pleasant enteretainments.
Seme of our erstwhile brother edit-
ors have occasion to term them
“tripping the light fantastic.’’ These
social events are some of our various
and sundry means of breaking the
monotony of our college life. If
they receive the proper kind of sup
port from the student body, these
dances may be made a success; so
let us have co-operation. But there
is one fact that we cannot overlook.
That is the shortage of the fair sex.
This scarcity of girls is very notice
able at this time of the season; so to
make amends for it we must import
them. From all reports, however, it
appears that this drawback has been
overcome and a good attendance is
expected Saturday night.
There is one important thing to re
member by all the cadets who at
tend these dances. Do not forget your
conduct. The manner in which our
dances are conducted become known
to all the outsiders. These Corps
hops may be considered small m
comparison with our Formal Hops,
but we must not overlook the fact
that they are the only means by
which our large dances are judged.
So we must make them come up to
the standard to help insure the suc
cess of the large hops of the year.
A recent article in a newspaper
stated that the “shimmie” had been
condemned by the French; so it seems
that we must follow suit. The fa
mous “cheek-freeze” or cheek
dancing is another of the “evils”
that must not be overlooked. Do not
fail to remember that both of these
popular styles oT dancing may be
carried to the extreme.
Let us try to make our first dance
of the year a success. Everyone
lend his co-operation and support
and make it possible to have future
dances.
PERUVIAN SENATOR DIES
Senator Enrique Caranel Zegarra,
father of E. C. Zegarra Jr., died sud
denly of heart failure at his home
in Lima, Peru, according to a tele
gram received by the young man
Wednesday. Senator Zegarra was
one of the most prominent men in
Peru, having been a member of the
Peruvian Senate for many years. He
was largely interested in the rail
ways of Peru, and in the agricultural
development of his country.
Senator Zegarra was a graduate of
Kenesaeler Polytechnic Institute
Troy, N. Y., and had many friends
in the United States. He visited
the Colleg-e several years ago and
made a most favorable impression
on the authorities of the College by
his personality and high ideals.
Everything is being put in readi
ness to open the San Angelo Fair,
Carnival and Race Meet on October
28th and which continues to Novem
ber 1st, inclusive. Special rates will
be offered on railroads and record
breaking crowds are expected.
Over one hundred race horses have
been entered for the $6,000 in purses
that is offered. Exhibits in all de
partments are to be full and com
plete. Cattle sale conducted by Col.
Earl Gartin of Greencastle, Ind., on
Friday, October 31st.
No expense is spared by the Asso
ciation to furnish amusement at the
Fair. Aeroplane flights, comedy acts,
goat roping, broncho and bull riding
etc., will be on the program.
THE CASUAL COMPANY
The Casual company is an organi
zation of non-military students,
foimeJ primarily to offer a shelter
ing arm to those who have grown
weary of bugle calls and petty forma-
.ions. In other words, the Casual
Company is a lazy man’s paradise.
Those capable of doing squads right
and about, in less than twenty-
six counts are forever barred. Our
organization is not in sympathy
with those who take long hikes on
Sunday afternoon; only those who
revel in the fields of slumber are eli-
gible.
Collectively and individually, the
members of this sedate body are wor
thy of the most scientific study.
r i he result of experiments show, that
bugle calls make very little, if any,
impression upon the auditory organs
cf these queer individuals. The
blood-curdling sounds of Reveille
has yet to pierce the walls of Milner
Hall. When the shrieking blasts of
Drill Call are heard, we are reminded
lhat it is every legal American’s duty
to have at least two years of military
training. Class call acts as a signal
for a slow advance to the Brain
building, where the morning mail is
vainly sought. After the lucky ones
have digested the contents of pink en
velopes, and consumed the latest
scandal concerning the office of Mil
itary Science and Tactics, the mass
slowly marches back to Milner Hail
Mess Call has the same effect upon
the Casual company as the command
“Triple Time” has upon a race
horse. Taps is the only call that
arouses the ire of the peace-loving
inmates of Milner Hall. This should
be abolished, because it wakes us up
each night.
Urvs-xwvAfwV as fea- -w-
horse we plod our weary way, leav
ing undone those things that should
be done, and doing those things that
should be left undone.

R. V. ELECTION
The Ross Volunteers met Monday
for the first time since the year
1918-19, with an attendance of about
thirty-five members. H. F. Jones,
ex-lieutenant of last year, took
charge of the meeting and conduct
ed the election of officers which re
sulted in the naming of W. T. Burns,
captain; T. A. Cheeves, 1st lieuten
ant; Scott Alexander and E. E. Mc-
Quillen, 2nd lieutenants and A. T.
Forbes, Jr., 1st sergeant. The elec
tion of sergeants was postponed on
account of lack of time, but this will
be attended to next Sunday, at
which time new men will be consid
ered.
For the benefit of new men, the
Ross Volunteers is a military organ
ization, named after Lawrence Sulli
van Ross, a former president of the
College. It also embodies a social
phase, as it presents annually one of
the three big events of the year, in
the form of the R. V. Hop. It is an
honorary organization; its members
and officers being selected by men of
previous years, on the basis of their
military and gentlemanly qualities.
This organization plans this as the
biggest year in its history, and al
ready have advances been made
along the lines o fa change in policy
and the outlining of a successful
years’ program.

It’s just 18 hours from reveille untli
taps, but it is just 10 minutes from
taps ’till reveille! How about it!
We are of the notion some times that
the bugler didn’t take time for a
cigarette between these calls.
