SPECIAL DELIVERIES ergy to see a thing through, it is far better that you never get the energy to suggest it. Any fool can offer suggestions but it takes a man with something more than a loose tongue to put over sugestions. Think it over. Are you a “suggester” or “proposer”—or do you see things through? Has it ever occured to you that a poor system of Special Delivery is in vogue at College Station? The send ers usually have some purpose in paying the additional dime to have a letter delivered at the earliest pos sible moment to the addressee. Yet, at College Station, a letter bearing- ordinary postage and mailed at the same hour with one carrying a Spec ial Delivery stamp will be received -• - --n a,rcrwi ditions what is the dime for? Where does it go? Letters at College do not need ten cents worth of blue pasters to make them attractive or appreciated. Schedules are on the doors of every room. Company rosters are in the offices of Com mandant and Professor of Military Science and Tactics. Students are sweeping streets for College ex penses. Cannot a harmonious system be worked out whereby Special De liveries can be made what they are in other parts of the country? The Battalion thinks so, at least. NEVER SAY DIE Don’t start something or say something should be done and quit. If you believe in a thing, see it through. Or else don’t open your trap to give air to views that even YOU have no confidence in. Many are the plans proposed at A. and M. for every sort of change and insti tution. If you are a proposer side track and become a doer! When you start something, keep at it. Don’t expect someone else to grasp your idea like a fish nibbling bait and see it through. If you lack the en- WHEN BETTER CARS ARE MADE BUICK WILL MAKE THEM Get Your Order in Now for Your CHRISTMAS CAR OLIVER-BUICK COMPANY W. C. CANNON, Mgr. Bryan When a man injuries himself in an effort to make an athletic team he is giving everything he has to his school. A crippled athlete deserves every consideration the student body and faculty can give him. He is es pecially deserving of every possible courtesy and help which the Athletic Department can render. The A. and M. Corps is nationally known for the unqualified regard which it has for its athletes. What would the colle giate world think if it knew that sev eral members of this years football squad, crippled in action, were forced to pay their own way into the Bay lor game ? This in the face of the fact that the Athletic Department can give complimentary tickets to whatever athletes it chooses. The poilcy that refuses to grant men pas ses to athletic games, who have in jured themselves so seriously as to be confined to a bed for days, is not a true A. and M. poilcy. IMPROVEMENT For years the roughneck spirit of A. and M. has been fading into mists even though some of our friends (?) could never see beyond, their own noses. On the return from Waco not a sign board or store-front or other detail in the make-up of a city was brought along/ Not a single fight was staged. Not a “copper” had and M. uniform. Yet the papers gave us headlines because of our pep and morale. The authorities are pleased with the conduct of the corps and especially with the showing made on parade. The students are willing to make their school what it ought to be and the recent trip to Waco shows their ability to carry out what they desire. Student gov ernment cannot be surpassed for re sults.
