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.

those undesirable of quality or quan

of admitpstration or activitios which

fectly natural >nd justifiable that any

unusually gmtifiml! lb have aden the
personal intarest taken in tile stu
dents “lick In quarters'’ during the
present passing emergency by Cap
tain Muller. 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
