It is Impossible to maintain a con
structive policy of a publication when
critical articTes are written which lack
sufficient fundamental reason to make
them justifiable. This lack of rea-
often be attributed to; sev-
erent causes among which
rstanding of conditions
actually exist; the inability
sufficient data as a basis;
realization that all matters

y as this may seem it often
serves to spread ideas and beliefs
which. Were the truth known, would
hnnff reputation from the origiaator
of the question. We have this; well
illustrated in the recent discussion pf
' the Y. ■. C. A. and it is the purpose
of this attempt to right some things
. which are wrung and to set clearly
the student body actualities
concerning the above named institu-
jFT
M T. II. C. A.” is in the strictest
sense a misnomer for the organisation
on the campus which we famiharU
jUMagaise as st»ch. It was not found
ed, la not supported and is not con-
iRrted by or in accordance with the
policies of the National Association,
j]! The money with which it. was built
j was ^.tB|aed by popular subscription fln*ncinff them
among classes and the faculty of this “ *
school in conjunction with that re
ceived from John D. Rockefeller and
other men of philantheopic,tendencies.
Hencoils governed by certain require
ments which make it a social or com
munity center rather than a Young
Men's Christian Association. It ia
open to everyone and ladies* clubs
and social societies are encouraged
to u»e the “Y" building as their meet
ing place. Thus we can see rsason
why there should be restrictions as to
wearing of headdress or smoking
while in the building for the simple
reason that every man recognizes the
jdfbMm .as gentlemanly qualities to
show when in the presence df a lady.
It is then to be considered as a center
ef social and religious activities of the
immediate community which includes
i the faculty members and families,
employees of the college as well as
the entire student body. Aa stated
shore it is governed by a board which
harp as its backing certain fundamen
tal gules and regulations of funds
methods ef management. The
and policies are in its
and these are put in operation
the Blanket tax
Since our .ljut issue in which wna
an editorial cbmeming a method of
financing'fifejeti£« and student ac
tivities and |ffjig|paging the tax sys
tem. we have | re :esved the following
from Mr. Janies Sullivan who is now
connected with he Athletic Cduncil
as secretary. W* appreciate his
support in this novement and hope
that eome plan will be worked out
along these lines, An extract of his
letter follows |
The writer ; has been connected
with the A. end M. College for
nearly eleven^ years and has been
deeply interedtec in all student ac
tivities, and io niy mind there are
only two wa^s >1 successfully pro
moting student activities. One is by
state appropHatisn and the other h
by the methqd of the blanket tax.
From experience it would seem that
the former Is jilmeBt imjpiifiiBih
rfnee the legislator* are very much
inclined to loqk ’rith disfavor on nny
appropriation I of; ms nature.
it would seem that the only solution
of this vital problem is a tAxatioa
method, aa yotu mggest
The Longhorn and The Battalion
have suffered to my certain knowl
edge in many instances on account
of insufficient funds. Both of these
publications have been at all times a
credit tA.the |ns:itutioh and the en
tire student 1 fyodf and faculty alike
should be prdud off and I am suce
that they are.; sta) there arc quite a
number who do not take sufficient
interest in either of these publica
tions to subscribe for them.. ^11 stu
dents and workei-s in general at the
College receive benefit from these

This is an obliga
tion that rest* alike on each student
and each perapn connected with this
institution and there is ao justi-e
that some shouM shirk thp'oMgR-
tion and at thf same time receive the
benefit theremT.
The same conditieA'* ii- true in
Athletics. The Athletic Association
has during the part ten or twelve
years received very little aid from

that under the present administra

more aid since Dr. Bizzell realizes
the importance attached to athletics,
still, the Association ia badly handi
capped through the lack of funds.
There are, as you doubtless knew,
many forms of athletics that should

these are non-revenue bearing forms
of athletics *u< h as tennis, hand
bell. wrestling, boxing and volley
ball. All of these together with
