I m .i-H ■ > ' ;f si-., _i. ill k nMIi i wmir, |{|;j i !' 1 m it L ■ u f nu- ij KI I' Hiirh salary. Basketball and base ball have just about been able to meet the expense which is incurred ■ in the promotion of these two sports. It is therefore seen that the entire yeeefiue is derived from football. In view of the fact of the schedule next year which is. as you doubtless know, a splendid one end which is a very expensive one it is quite likely that the Athletic Association will suffer further financial losses unless there is-an increase in the charge for admission to athletic events. There has been practically no increase in thjsi charge for several years still on the other hand the Athletic Aaso- on has had to pay nearly double the guarantees to secure rood games they have employed additional es at increased salaries. It is rsforv very plain unless some sys tem. such as you surrest, is worked out the Athletic Associatioa can not hope to fulfill the duties which it should. The non-revenue bearing ■parts are now being sadly neglected ■imply due to the fact that no funds are available. If a plan similar to the bne suggested by you could be put into effect it would take care of ■11 eff these branches of sport. 1 be lieve, however. that the Athletic 'Association should cecdive tlO.ffO in- ■tftkd of the amount specified: by you. This, however, is simply ■ mat ter of suggestion but if each student was reqaired to pay $10.00 I am of the opinion that in twelve months the Athletic Association could build courts, furnish equipment for box ing, wrestling and all other branches of sports which are now net in. L'ndfer the arrangement ed by you this would give the Ath letic Association at the jhggtagtjig of the .war something like Cfrelve tO-fif- teen thousand dollars to begin 1 with and with fhe gate receipt* durWg the football season it would furnish a sufficient amount or revenue te am ply provide the very bedt equipment, suitable quarters and competent meg to train the athletes in every branch of sport. Atfhletics is in my opinion ope of the best advertisements that a col lege can have. This in shown very clearly by the record made at Gunter College. Danville, Kentucky, during the past year. This Kttle College with less than two hundred studgnta is known from one end of the United State- to the other due in a large measure to their success in athletics. ; ^ ii in ■ i M * CWticiams unless they are con- tftmetive, obtain no results other than those undesirable of quality or quan tity. There are always certain phases of admitpstration or activitios which come up that are not in accordance with everyones belief and it is per fectly natural >nd justifiable that any complaints should have a hearing and if based' on reason receive further attention The Student Welfare Co nnnttee is the place to file sock coriplmints, because here they will re ceive just consideration. This com mittee hds representatives from all the the Senior class having the greater representation and it is duty to confer with colllgge offi- aad show why such and such a should be corrected.

Before the College had made the necessary arrangements to care for man so confined. Captain Muller had, by personal inquiry, lo cated the sick men and was, with the co-operation of the cadet officers, supplying them with proper food brought from his own home. Such action ia remarkable and The Bat talion feels that the student body should know of and fully appreciate such interest*. Moreover, the citi zens of Bryan have long been aware of the Captain's affection .'and admi ration for the utiudenta and his strong pride in the cadet corps. To Misses * Neal. Taylor. Bpaars, »nd others of ..the Kxtension Service the students owe their most sincere thanks for the wonderful response to Mr. Ash bum’s request of them to assist the Mk»ss Hall authorities in preparing menus and serving meals for the studeinta who were unable t> receive accommodation in the hos pital as a result of emergency condi tions. With the greatest interest and without! the slightest thought of per sonal cenvenlencei, these ladies loyal ly did all in their power to supply the 111 students with proper food Such a situation as has just been pervalent at the College is unusual and ia onK met with at unexpected times. The hospital, although of sufficient size- and accommodation to grace a smaB city, was overflowing and to rope With the situation every possible arrangement was made. < » * As a suggestien, or to use a term that has been given much promineneqj in college publications of lata, as a btt or conatrvctive criticism, we of fer in regard to the college movies: The ma|oiity: of the students in A. and M. were in the military service. Number* have attended training camps. 1 Others are obviously not in terested in military matters. There fore, we suggest that the movies re lating to military training be present ed at times other than the regular movie nights.) And that, if wiaaB^a^ an arrangement be made so that the entire student body would not be called to attend these plc^uras. but only those bo whom |hey relate Were our id sal realized, ;*u^h forms of instruction would • be practiced during incleiynt^drill^penoda.
