THE BATTALION
most popular members of the Senior
Class. His always genial friendli
ness will prevent everyone who knows
him from ever forgetting “Sol.”
Fred P. Jaggi, last year’s first ser
geant and this year’s Captain of
Troop “A” Cavalry, is the other R.
V. Second Lieutenant. After Fred
weighed the matter thoroughly, he
changed, for the good, from an engi
neer of mediocre ability to a student
of agriculture. Since the change
was made, he has traveled the route
with his classmates, and his office is
only one way in which respect and
recognition have been accorded him.
All of these men have long before
demonstrated their deservability. The
offices which they now hold bear
-with them traditional honors, bestow
ed upon very few but doubtlessly as
pired for by many sons of Aggie-
land, which have stood out among the
foremost distinctions in A. and M.
since the R. V. company was first or
ganized many years ago. These men
can now realize the gratifications of
the coveted honors to which their
leadership makes them entitled.
A. AND M. DIRECTORS HOLD
SESSION IN AGGIELAND
(Continued from Page 1)
The board members seemed tempor
arily satisfied with the substitution
of well constructed bungaletts in
place of the water strainers used last
year.
The new horticultural experiment
station which was established with an
appropriation of $50,000, by the
last Legislature as a substation of
the Experiment Station of the Col
lege is to be located at Llano Grande,
near Mercedes in Hidalgo county.
The location came on the/recommen-
tion of a special committee of thei
ard and scientists of ^the College
which recently made an investigation
of the sites offered in the Rio Grande
valley.
The board reorganized by re-elect
ing all the old officers, L. J. Hart of
San Antonio, president, F. M. Law of
Houston, vice-president, and S. G.
Bailey, executive secretary to Presi
dent Bizzell.
PREPARATIONS FOR HOP
ON THANKSGIVING

preciation than can ever be accorded
them. This is especially true of the
team this year. Remunerating them
for all they do would be an imposi-
bility. But the custom, long since
established and pi’acticed in Aggie-
land, makes the annual dance given
in their honor a more fitting token
of appreciation. It is the privilege
of the students to give this dance,
and this is one more year that it
must be put over in grandeur.
The Senior Class stated preparing
for the hop Saturday afternoon by
electing the chairmen of the six com
mittees to have charge of the dance.
The men elected were W. J. Han
cock, Arrangements Committee, C.
W. Moore, Fnance; S. C. Bartlett,
Music; H. A. Murphy, Programs; H.
M. Tatum, Decoration; and Paul
Cowan, Floor. These men will have
the burdens on their shoulders; the
most that the rest of. us can do to
help them is too little. Just bear in
mind that an A. and M. student body
has never fallen down behind their
football team, get in line with that
Texas queen, and we’ll all go on
with the dance.
OLDEST CAMPUS
STRUCTURE NOW
BEING REMOVED
Brick Residence Built of Materials
Manufactured on Campus Gives Way
For New Extension Quarters.
Work of removing the old brick
residence on the corner lot west of
the Research Administration building
will begin within the next few days in
preparation for the erection of the
administration building for the Ex
tension Service.
This is one of the first buildings
to be constructed on the A. & M. cam
pus and was made from brick man
ufactured here.
The general contract for the new
building has been let to the Walker
Construction Company of San An
tonio. The heating and lighting con
tract for the building has been let
to A. T. Cheaney of Waco, contract
for electrical work has been given
to .Graham and Collins Electrical
Company of San Antonio. It is ex
pected that the site will be cleared
within the next few days and con
struction start in thirty days.
DRAMATIC CLUB BEGINS
YEAR’ ACTIVITIES
(Continued From Page 1)
formulated will undoubtedly arouse
more interest than an A. and M. dra
matist has ever before perceived of.
Besides the entertainments with which
the students are to be supplied, many
other surpri'ung features are to
arise from the (^nergy invested by the
members of the clu,b. Two big finan
cial aids that the clvto will donate
are the expenses of the dairy judging
team and another addition to the, Wil
liam Bennett Bizzell Loan Fund.
Experience is not a requirement for
admittance to the club; neither has it
been required of the entrant to the
Public Speaking classes. The finish
ed product is being sought after,
and as Prof. Harrington has fre
quently asserted, he lets nothing
which is reasonable stand in the way
of his classes’ -success. To begin
with, he has provided for an elaborate
entertainment at the Green Parrot
Tea Room to feature the second meet
ing of the club tonight. In the mean
time, rehearsals for the first presenta
tion have begun, and sometime before
long Guion Hall will be the scene of
something new in the way of stage
setting and entertainment.
THE IDEAL ROOMMATE.
Does not snore. Knows lots of wo
men and is generous about it. Does
not rave about the “one and only.”
Wears his own clothes. Is the same
size as I am. Lends his clothes will
ingly. Uses only half the dresser and
a quarter of the closet. Is good for
a newspaper story every day. Takes
our courses. Is better in them than
we are ourselves. Does not turn on
the light when he comes in late. Can
find his own bed when he does come
in. Wears his own shoes, furnishes
shoe polish.—Flamingo.
Contagious.
“I don’t know what is the matter
with that child. He won’t stay in
the same place any length of time.”
“He probably got it from his nur
ses.”

AT FOUR A. M.—It was pitch
black in the parlor. Three hours ago
Chlorine, the naughty vamp, had
turned out the light. The clock on
the mantel struck, ’One, two, three,
four”. It was a strange, hollow
sound echoing through the silence.
A milk wagon rattled-by. Again all
was still. Then from the divan cor
ner of the room came a few faint
noises. “Smack—smack—ummm—
gulp—gurgle— ummm— smack— sh-
sh—” then a soft sighing sound. The
water in the radiator had begun to
boil.—Handout.
Defendant—Yerroner, what would
I be wantin wid that man’s cheap
watch?
Judge—How do you know it was
a cheap watch?
Defendant—My lawyer wouldn’t
give me a cent over two dollars on
it.
Starting Him Right.
Mr. Eichenstein returned home
from business and found his wife
rocking the baby and singing, “By-
low, baby, by-low; by-low baby, by-
low ”
“Dots right, Sarah. You teach him
to buy low, and I’ll teach him to sell
high.”—Everybody’s Magazine.

Dentist—What kind of filling do
you want in your tooth, son?
Boy—Chocolate, doctor.—Medical
