And sleeping beneath so silent

♦ l STUDENT OPINION. ♦

8ino«.we have discovered that the
article in last week’s Battalion whicn
appeared in answer to oar esunpaign
to [ improve the conditions in the
local Y.M.C.A. was not written by a
Student and therefore was net an ex
position of student opinion, jwe feel
very much encouraged and Will con
tinue in our effort to make the Y
What it was originally intended to
be. *
\ The first thing that struck jm upon
reading the answer to our artidlc,
was the writer’s apparent minrom op
tion of th« meaning of! con
structive and destructive
If the window in our room is broken
and we never say anything about it,
well, the window will stay broken- -
while .f we “kick*’ about it the
chances are that it will be rfpaire i.
The same way with our Y.|M.C.A.
If nobody complain* about it. It will
remain as useless aa it is now, where
as if wa offer a little crlticfedi, may
it be constructive er destructive,
there is a slight possibility th*t con
ditions will be changed.
Instead of answering our criti
cisms the writer contented himself
with criticising us personally, and
trying to ridicule us—which neither
has anything to do with the propo
sition at haa^Lfnor answers his pur
pose in writ^tth* article, that is,
to defend th.- proposition from the
Y,M.C.A.*s point of view; the facts
are them, open to approval or dis
approval, criticism or praise. Fur
thermore. h e accused us of stealing
the Y’s light globes and magazines,
which, besides bring a mistake, again
has no beering on the case.
/ We are awaiting with pleasure a
real answer to our first article; not
a description of our character, or a
criticism of our habits, but an an
swer.'and that to the point.

Th* object of the Association will
include the establishment of * strong
tennis club which will be able to com
pete wui-e*sfully against State Uni
versity, Rice, Baylor and other Texas
colleges and universities. One of the
first step* to be taken will be the
building of other tennis courts.
A committee has been appointed
which will arrange for the picture of
the Club in th* Longhorn.
President Bixxell, Mr. Young, Mr.
Driver, Mr. Bible, and the Athletic
Council and T-Club as well as many
members of the faculty have assured
the Club that they would give their
active support. Inasmuch as avery-
one Con<v ted with A. and M. is eligible
for membership it is expected that in
terest in the Association will increase
throughout the year.
Mr. Kraft, hsad of the Building and
Grounds committee has already star
ted plan* for the new courts, and it
is expected that they will be finished
‘in time to accommodate a .large num-
hcart and soul ate wrapped areti
our lives. We can brighten
heart or braak it pit is therefore
duty of u* fellows here in College t
continue the practice of striving
uphold those ideals which Moth*
has taught us from the time w e knei
at her knee.
For some of us, only the spirit
Mother now exists here on
She has gone to that Happier Land
but is it not a pleasant, comforting
thing to feel that, although
absent in person, she always watch-1
es over us and protects us cons tan
ly, trusting that by our deeds and
lives here, we shall be able to meet
Mother over yonder.
A most beautiful and appropriate
poem has been written by on* pf the
instructors of our College, lines that 1
no doubt will b* a benefit to every- |
