NUMBER 1
ALL RECORDS IN
REGISTRATION
ARE NOW BROKEN
Thursday Night’s Figures Showed
That 1450 Had Paid Their Fees
Up To That Time.
The final figures on registration last
night showed *hat all previous regis
tration records had been broken. Ap
proximately 1450 students had paid
in their money to the Fiscal Depart
ment. Of this number 1162 had been
assigned to the Cadet Corps. The re
mainder is composed of Casuals, Fed
eral and day students. These figures
show a great increase over last year,
since only 1307 had paid in at the cor
responding time then. In 1919 the fig
ures for the same time showed only
928. In addition to the number that
have registered, there are many others
both old and new students, who will
register today. Indications are that
the enrollment will be over 1500 with
in the next two or three days.
The interest being taken in cadet
corps is shown by the growth in
strength it has made. The corps is
now larger than ever before.
The Registrar’s office, Fiscal De
partment, Military Department and
Commandant’s office have broken all
previous records for dispatch of work.
It has been unusually speedy.
The unsettled conditions which have
prevailed for the past few days will
soon pass away and the good old life
once more will be under way on its
best year.
“Red” Thompson, popular yell lead
er of last year, arrived on the campus
the 17th. “Red” has just gotten back
from the land of Tequila, Mescal and
Petroleum and reports a very, very I
pleasant summer. He ran across
“Danny” McMurray and several of
the old A. and M. men in the field of
Mexican crude and of course, the
bunch got together. We’re hoping to
have Thompson with us again this
year. Stick with us “Red.”

scampers near with a hungry look in

TEXAS AGGIES
WERE SUPREME
IN ALL CAMPS
Copped Everything at the R. O. T. C.
Training Camps—The Aggie Spirit
Would Not Down.
The students returning to A. and
M. this fall who had the good fortune
to attfoiid one of the summer camps
this past summer returns with a new
conception of the R. O. T. C. He
realizes that it not only benefits his
government; but that he is the one
chiefly benefitted. It is an unus
ual thing for a person to be given a
trip half way across this great coun
try of ours to some place of national
repute. Not only was this done; but
pay was given for allowing it to be
done.
Patx-iotism does not commence
with the declaration of war as too
many are prone to think, but is a
part of the common every day life
