LIVE STOCK TEAM
GETTING ACTIVE
(Continued From Page 1)
last spring. The experience that they
received from these contests will be of
great value to them in helping to win
the International this year.. All of
the men are working hard during
their regular classes and all of Satur
day afternoons.
The International Live Stock Judg
ing Team from this College wil com
pete with similar teams from the best
agricultural colleges of this country
and Canada. The contest will be held
at Chicago during the International
Live Stock Show. The school that
wins the contest is awarded the Bronze
Bull. The bull must be won three
times before it becomes the per
manent property of the winning
school. Texas A. and M. has to win
the bull only one more time for it
to become the permanent property of
the College, as we won it in 1913 and
1919. The International Team of 1920
is determined to win the bull again
this year, and to bring it back to Tex
as for all time to come.
FIRST STAG HOP
WAS HELD IN GYM
(Continued From Page 1)
“o”. To the tunes of “Rough Stuff,
Real Stuff, Texas A. and M.,” “My
Baby Smiles At Me,” and a number
of locally composed harmonies the
vanguard of the Worshipers of the
Shimmy merrily rolled along to the
Gym.
There the newly-organized Jazz
Sextette quickly “got right” and the
battle was on. Knickerbocker, Mc-
Connel, Waideli, Bloodworth, and
-^ggpKSFiler aided “Hub Caps” in
“barking” at the gate to the entreat
ies of
“You don’t need a dress suit!
Let your conscience be your guide!
Your Quarter’s your invitation!
Hurry up and get inside!”
The crowd rapidly got into action.
All known, unknown and still others
were the steps illustrated. The shim
my in all its variations was most pop
ular.
Eighty-six pounds was the light
weight on the floor and they went so
far in the other direction that the gym
scales wouldn’t work. Vaudeville
never surpassed the feat of an eighty
pound man dancing with another some
two hundred pounds superior.
Refreshments were delayed but
favors were distributed in the form of
cigarettes for the “ladies” and Star
Navy for the men.
A contest between Fish for Grand
Champion Shimmy Shaker was held
but decisions are withheld until
some future date.
As the fierceness with which the
guests entered into their merrymaking
increased numerous guests from
Bryan and surrounding territory ap
peared on the scene. A number of
ex-students and almuni appeared as
if by magic and joy waxed high and
tumultuous.
To the new Jazz Hound Sextette
which Bill King has announced as the
greatest bunch of master musicians
ever assembled under one manage
ment goes the credit. This jazz pro
ducing combination has been collected
and rehearsed since the opening of
school and will replace the old time
A. and M. Five which won such pop
ularity last year. The Sextette con
sisted of
King, drums.
Clayton, comet.
Crippen, claironette.
Reynaud, piano.
Buchan, banjo.
Hubbe, saxaphone.
COLLEGE RADIO
PLANS BREAT WORK
(Continued From Page 1)
of each issue of The Battalion will be
devoted to news items from other col
leges.
There is a plan under consideration
for the establishing of a communica
tion by radio between all R. O. T. C.
colleges in the United States. In this
way we will be able to keep in touch
with the other R. O. T. C. units.
An effort is being made to secure
a 2% K. W. transmitting set. This
will give the station an effective
transmitting range of more than 2000
miles. The addition of a radio-fone
and undamped transmitter in the near
future will bring this station up to
date in every respect.
The new tower will be completed in
a few day^, and as system of three
antennae will replace the one now in
use. As soon as the antennae are in
place, an operator will be on duty
every night from 7:00 p. m. until
12:00 M.
Taken as a whole, the prospects
look very bright for a successful year
in radio. It is hoped that the activities
undertaken by the radio station will
prove a great benefit to the College
as well as keep us in touch with the
other colleges.
THE STUDENT ACTIVITY FEE.
The Student Activity Fee of $15
has been paid by practically every stu
dent in school. The figures for the
payment of the fee up to last Tues
day are as follows:
Students Registered 1557
Students who paid the fee 1347
Students who did not pay 210
Federal students 129
College students who have not
paid 81
The Federal students are the only
group of students who will pay this
fee 100 per cent, strong. Mr. Sul
livan of the Athletic Department has
made special arrangements with Mr.
Nash, whereby the fee for all of the
Federal students will be paid in one
check. This check has not come yet,
but when it does come there will be
only eighty-one students in school who
have failed to pay the fee. You know
whether or not you are one of the
eighty-one. If you are and can pos
sibly spare those fifteen “beans”, pay
that fee. Let us be the only school in
the state whose student body has giv
en 100 per cent financial support to
its activities. Now we have support
ed our activities only 94.3 per cent.
Let us make it 100 per cent strong.
MEETING OF HORTICUL
TURAL SOCIETY
The first meeting of the Horticul
tural Society of this session was held
last Monday night in room 20, Ag

ganization of the Society, President
F. R. Brison has called a special meet
ing for next Monday night.
