SUPPLEMENT TO THE BATTALION I was walking down the MILITARY Walk ONE Sunday afternoon just before RETREAT LOOKING over the people in the FORDS and Cadillacs WHO had come out to WATCH the boys march to CHOW WHEN my attention was attracted BY the gab of two SIMPLE folk THEY were surmising that THE man in the handsome LIMOUSINE WAS some high official WAS some high official OF the college IF I had been a stranger I would have AGREED with them BUT I knew from knowledge DEARLY BOUGHT THAT he was only a BOOTLEGGER A. AND M. ANNUAL RODEO AND LIVESTOCK NOVELTY SHOW TO BE HELD NOV.4 IN THE A. H. PAVILION. The proceeds of this Animal Live Stock Novelty Show which is given by the Junior Animal Husbandry students will go towards defraying the expenses of sending the senior live stock judging team to the Inter national Live Stock Show held at Chicago. The senior live sto:;k judging team will leave College Station November 6 for Chicago where they will enter the International Live Stock Judging Contest. Previous teams that have repre sented A. and M. at Chicago have brought the br.onze bull, the trophy awarded the winning team, back to College on two consecutive occasions. Everything points towards this year’s team bringing this trophy back for the thiivd time; thereby making it the permanent property of the Animal Husbandry Department. Some of the novelties to be shown are: Steer riding. Horse riding. Greased pig contest. Noted quartet will sing Cowboy Ballads. Potato race. Three ways of getting through College. History repeats itself at A. and M. Also, arrangements are being per fected to have some of the Bryan gilds take part in the initial event of the program. Plans are also under way for a carnival which will begin immediate ly after dinner, Friday, November 4, and will last until taps that night. The carnival will take place on the lawn by the Agricultural Building. A. & M. DELEGATES WILL GO TO BAYLOR BELTON Next Thursday, Oct. 27, will see the exodus of an enthusiastic group of students Baylor-ward bound. The reason for the afore-mentioned ex odus is the Second Annual Baptist Students Conference which is held at Belton this year. The primary object of this conference is to aid the stu dent in his religious life and teach him how to aid others. The second ary motive—well, ask any delegate going. The Baptist students who are “in” on the plans are all anxious for the arrival of the 27th. If you are a Baptist and are “in” come out to the meeting in Guion Hall Sunday night and you will get the opportunity. Any disciple of the “United State ment” of Baylor C. can tell you about the plans. Dr. Truett, Dr. S. P. Brooks, and other speakers of note will be there. Besides the meetings there is a plan of entertainment work ed out. The Baylor girls are plan ning to do their share and C. I. A. has promised two delegates to every one from A. and M. If you are interested in going be out Sunday night. Fifty is the limit and over twenty-five have already signed up. Better put in your appli cation now. PERSONALS. T. S.

P. Lancaster, chair man of the election committee, call ed the meeting to order and the fun began. Some three or four candidates were nominated for each office. Political fissure lines were easily apparent in the i~anks of the ’23 Class, and the resulting voting was close. A majority and not a plurality be ing necessary to elect, the results of the first balloting showed that no one man had received the necessary number of votes to place him in of fice. It became necessary to vote again on the two leading would-be officers. The election officials announced a recess of ten minutes to enable them to “oil” their election machinery. The voters employed this ten min utes in lobbying for either one or the other of the candidates. A second vote was ten taken and the results showed that the following had been elected: President: John C. Mayfield pf Huntsville. Vice-President: Sammie Sanders of Franklin. Secretary-Treasurer: Newton W. Jones of Archer City. Histoidan: F. H. Downs, Jr., of Fal, La. Member of Student Council: R. E.
