BRUIN GROWLS. “We are assured the best football team in the state, if not the South this year.” The above extract from the Baylor Lariat furnishes the meat for an editorial in the first edition of that publication, now grown to a semi weekly. Without considering the fact that such definite judgment seems kind of previous at this period of the season we cheerfully admit to the Bears that “it’s their time—just about.” “What good is an A. and M. College, anyway?” further states this Bruin publication. Well, neighbor, space kind of limits our reply but quite a good deal could be said on that sub ject. A couple of pretty good pur poses for its maintenance are: First, to train two of Baylor’s three football coaches. Second, to give the neces sary training to the man who leads the newly instituted courses in Ag. at this great aforesaid school of Bay lor. Think it over, friend Bears, and ask us a hard one next time! THE WORM AND THE APPLE. It just takes one small worm to ruin the largest apple. Deep in the core it does its work, secretly, silently, hid den from the view of the world. In a similar way one student with wrong ideals can work havoc. Collected and jumbled together here, isolated from others than our own little community, we are more susceptible than were we located in a large town or city. We have had occasion to observe the work of the “worm.” Follow his trail and when he is found, “squash” him with your heel. The old adage has been made to read, “It’s a long worm that never turns.” When he fails to made a rapid “turning” at this institution from'his own free will, he is soon dis covered and “turned.” BATTALION CHANGES PUBLICA TION DATE TO SATURDAY. In order to increase its value to the student body The Battalion has ar ranged to change the date of publica tion from Thursday nights to Satur days. This will improve its efficiency as a medium for publishing student activities. The next edition will con sequently appear October 16th instead of October 14th. Unintentionally The Battalion has injured the feelings of one of its most loyal supporters, a man who never tires in his efforts to help the students and the College. We regret this more than is possible to express as the pol icy of The Battalion is to make new friends and make the old friends stronger. The student publications of Texas are working together this year strong er than ever before in an attempt to bring about perfect harmony and goodwill. The recent article in the Texan announcing the University’s in tention of presenting the A. and M. College with the section of “Bevo’s” hide that was branded 18-0 by Aggie students is an example. J. E. LEWIS, General Secretary Y. M. C. A. Mr. J. E. Lewis is the popular new Secretary of the College Y. M. C. A. In the short time he has been with us he has done much to improve the ser vices rendered by the “Y” and at pres ent more students are interested than ever before at this season. Mr. Lewis attended Knox College, Galisburg, 111., two years and later re ceived his A. B. degree from William Jewell College at Liberty, Mo., in ’15. He then attended Newton Theological Institution at Boston for one year and followed this by a year at the Uni versity of Chicago. In August ,1917, Mr. Lewis entered War Work for the “Y” and served until April, 1919. During this time he was ten months overseas in France and Italy. In.August, 1918, he was gassed and later received the Croce di Guerra of Italy. Mr. Lewis is interested in all forms of athletics but due to injuries re ceived in his first Freshman game at Knox College he has been unable to enter this sport since that time. Mr. Lewis is a member of Theta Kappa Epsilon. Mrs. Lewis, who is here with him, has been unanimously requested to act as official chaperone for student social activities and has promised to lend her services. Mrs. Lewis, after grad uating from Liberty, Missouri High School, attended Liberty Ladies’ Col lege, Baptist Missionary Training School, and the University of Chicago. MONOPOLIES. Economics and the sciences of bus iness verify the fact that monopolies are enabled to work for the common good. The fault lies in the fact that when a monopoly becomes possible, the desire to do good generally dis appears. The students have occasion to be affected in their daily lives by limited monopolies. While the Col lege student is usually considered to be a reckless and generous spender, he is observing. And when the dagger thrust is too keen he can retaliate. The weakness of monopolies lies in their dependency upon their trade. When the trade realizes this it be comes in turn a monopoly and is able to reverse the point. All things con sidered a drum head can be just so tight. After that it bursts. Kuppenheimer Good Clothes You don’t have to accept inferior clothes at the price you want to pay.
