Bertschler Assistant Manager R. P. Huff Circulation A. L. Forbes Assistant Circulation Many of these people sit in their cars during the games while a few take seats in the grandstand. The north boundary line of the field is the only place where the game can be observed from a car and we have frequently noticed that some auto- ists park their cars here and retire to the grandstand, leaving no room for those who desire to remain seat ed in their autos. We know that this is done thoughtlessly and we wish to appeal to our visitors at games in the future not to occupy parking space that they will not use. Members of the faculty living on Quality Row and on Honymoon Flats have called the attention of the Bat talion to the fact that the contract ors of the Physics Building which is being erected now, place the sand, gravel, and other material in such a manner as to completely block the walk which leads towards their homes. It is a great inconvenience for the professors and their families, because of the fact that they have to climb over the materials in order to reach the principal buildings, and the car line. The Battalion recommends to the Buildings and Grounds Depart ment to take a look at the place. Entered as second-class matter at College Station, Texas, February 17, 1905. At this time when the American people at large know more of the military customs and courtesies than ever before, it appears to us as a lack of patriotism when visitors neg lect the honors due the flag and the Star Spangeled Banner at our re treat formalities. In many cases strangers are not familiar with what is expected of them and cadets and civilian students as well will save them embarasment by informing them in a very courteous manner what they should do. No one will resent such a well intentioned act and the general appearance at re treat, when the corps stands at at tention and salutes as the colors are folded away, will be much more in keeping with the formal atmosphere of the occasion, and will be what we should expect of a patriotic audi ence. Great dissatisfaction was voiced all over the campus by the cadets a few days ago when it was found that no holiday would be given on Tues day, November 11—a day which should mean much to the whole civil ized world. The day which com memorates the greatest victory the world has ever known is not to be observed at the A. and M. college of Texas. The Governor of Texas has put this state ahead of all others by being the first to proclaim this day a holiday, but our heads have deemed it unwise for the day to be observed here. What is the reason? Is it paying due respect to the many A. and M. men who fought in the great world struggle? Every game on Kyle field this season has been well attended by autos from the surrounding locality. TO “CATFISH” GOODMAN The editor is indebted to Mrs. Cleghorn for the following contribu tion in honor of our far-famed and well-beloved Yell Leader and Pep Producer, “Catfish” (R. B.) Good man, of Corsicana. The contribution was sent from Dallas by Mrs. Cleg- horn’s sister, the author. Here’s to “Catfish” Goodman please listen while I tell, Some facts aout our leader of that famous College yell. He has had his disappointments, had many ups and downs, When the Farmers play the Long horns you will find him on the ground, To cheer his pals to victory in foot ball they can’t be beat With “Catfish” to lead the yell the Longhorns will meet defeat. As a minstrel boy he is a wonder, asX the “Fish” what they think of him They pronounce him an all-round sport, the hit of A. and M. His Senior year is passing he will soon be going away; Then gloom will settle on the Campus for “Catfish” has had his day. If you have only ten minutes to eaten your train, just pass “Catfish” the tip, He will get you there with time to spare and help you pack your grip. So three cheers for “Catfish” Good man to his College he has proved a gem, Good-by, God bless you—“Catfish” of A. and M. The Juniors on the second floor Mitchell hall have now installed tele phones in their rooms for time saz- ings. We heard Muphree walk in to Wood’s room the other day tell ing Woods what to say thru the phone so he could understand what he was saying. z- •;« *;* *;* *;♦ •;* *;• *1- *1* *1* -I* v* *•* *** *♦* *** v* * WHEN BETTER CARS ARE -t* X MADE * I BUICK i X WILL MAKE THEM § % Get Your Order in Now for v % Your X CHRISTMAS CAR A ¥ OLIVER-BUICK COMPANY f ± W.
