Burns will lead the pro cessional which will end by enter ing onto our second night of danc ing enjoyment. No charges what ever outside of making it your duty to see that everyone has a good time. As desert after a big luncheon or banquet, comes the Saturday night affair at which a mimimum charge of one wheel will be made. This strict ly informal affair starts at 8:30 p. m. and ends at midnight. Don’t think of missing this one as it would be similar to missing that Camel af ter meals, etc. For stags, alias those Unlucky creatures who either havn’t the energy to note and care for some damsel or have been presented with a sack in the last few minutes of play, the following provisions are made: All dance encores are break- ins except the first dance on the first night; no breakins until after the intermission on Friday night and all break-ins Saturday night. No warnings or instructions need be issued as to how to conduct your self on the floor—if you don’t know by now, your presence is not de sired. Everyone knows what is meant by desirable and we expect it of everyone as gentlemen to ex ercise your judgment. Cooperate with the management and make these dances a climax in their line. COLLEGE POST MEETS The College Post of the American Legion became a definite part of its members’ thoughts last night at its first social gathering. The meeting was called to order by Mr. Mayo, as temporary chairman, in the Chem istry lecture room. It was decided unanimously that Mr. Ike Ashburn would preside over the social hour and awaiting his arrival, officers for the year were elected. Mr. Clarence Braden was made Post Commander, Mr. C. C. B. Warden, vice-commander; Mr. S. G. West, adjutant; Mr. R. H. Ramsey, histor ian and Mr. W. P. Orm, war risk clerk. Mr. Ashburn was nominated for the office of Post Chaplain but the election of this officer was post poned until his requirements could be definitely settled on. An interesting discussion on the Bonus Bill now before Congress was held. Many who are in support of the bill and others who are against the spirit of the bill gave rather in teresting opinions on the measure, and, though Congress has deferred action until after the decisions reach ed by the National Conventions have been made, the Post held a straw vote to determine the attitude of its members, and 23 voted against the bill to 21 for it. Mr. Ashburn presided over the “experience meeting” and after starting the evening with a couple of sky-high stories he quietly related the three most impressive incidents in his military career as the sight of the great convoy, a Fourth of July celebration in England, and an ac tual war experience. The members were called upon one after the other to briefly state their names, organi zations and most thrilling incident of their war career. There were men who fought the battles of Travis, Bowie, Taylor, Wheeler, and Leon Springs over here, the battles of Coniac Hill, and the Rest Camp in France; there were men who carry treasured in their hearts the mem ories of the S. A. T. C., the C. I. O. T. S., the R. O. T. C. and others who went down with torpedoed boats going over; men with thor ough training in radio telegraphy who cheerfully unloaded car after car of corned beef; there were men who “got theirs” two hours after going into action, and there were others who outside of a bunch of ma chine gun bullets and higb explosives had had no “experiences.” There was laughter and pathos in the stories of the men who had been an active part of the greatest of all games. The members of the College Po'T know each other now, and they feel that in the Post they have a com mon interest, a common responsibil ity. The hour of memories through the drifting smoke of good cigars has made this Post of the American Legion a vital element in the lives of its members. ❖ The EliteConfectionery Now Serving LUNCHES AND OYSTERS In All Styles Patronage of Cadets Always Appreciated S*kk COX, WORLEY & FAIRMAN CLOSED and OPEN CARS WHEN YOU WANT Service CARS WITH OH WITHOUT OKIVRKS Residence 666 PHONES N.
