Hopkins, sev eral patrols of Boy Scouts have been organized. These patrols are plan ning some very profitable and pleas ant trips, in the open, and this work promises to be very helpful to the young boys of the campus. Many of the instructors’ and professors’ sons are taking active part. ❖ sN ^ The “Y” through its cooperation with the Bryan Chamber of Commerce, is securing labor in Bryan for many of the College students. The offi cials of the College are lending every aid to assist in this work by excusing the students from formation for the purpose of working late. * ❖ * Last Saturday the “Y” secured jobs for about seventy-five students. * * * All campus people are urged to phone their labor needs to the “Y” early. * The wid-week “Y” services are be ing well patronized, and all efforts are being made to make them as pleasant and profitable as possible. At the last meeting Rev. Butler gave a very interesting discussion and lan tern slide exhibit of post cards he collected in the Holy Land. Each week a good program is assured, and every student is invited to come and worship with the group. * ❖ * The “Y” Cabinet met in short ses sion Thursday night, and discussed some important matters. The Cab inet is not completed yet; however, a number of men were favorably voted on. The committees are getting to gether, and a constructive program is being launched. ❖ ❖ * The “Y” is furnishing magazines to the students confined in the hospital. If you have any magazines you do not want, the “Y” will be glad to re ceive them for the boys who are sick. * * * Among the visitors at the “Y” dur ing the last week were: Mr. O. B. Martin, Washington, D. C.; Jack Weaver of Houston; O. H. Kinkeaw and H. F. Carry of Dallas; F. S. Jones of Houston; R. C. Brown and wife of Houston; W. J. Petzer and wife; Mr. and Mrs. McKenzie and family from Houston. * * He. A musical program was rendered at the “Y” Sunday afternoon by Mr. Belcher and his assistants. The “Y” is endeavoring to make Sunday after noons as pleasant as possible. Any suggestions will be appreciated. He He * Have you bought your Privilege Card? H* * ❖ 315 students attended the Union Sunday school last Sunday. This is only a fair showing and the members should be increased considerably. The goal of the officers is 1000. With a student body of 2000 and a goodly number of campus people this should be accomplished before Christmas. Come out next Sunday. Mike—Did you sell the pigs? Pat—I did. Mike—What did you get? Pat—Well, I didn’t get as much as I expected to, but I didn ? t expect to. —Ex. -*$*• •*$*■ ■*$»■ •*$»• +$*■ ♦J* ❖ SOCIETY ❖ * ❖ ^ +*+ ■*$*■ ■*$*■ +$+ •*$*• ♦J*- ■*$*■ ■*$*■ ■*$*• •*$«- ♦J*- •*$*■ Dallas Dance. Wherever Aggies go they take a good time with them. Look at Dal las! Saturday night of October 13, the Aggieland Jazz Band will play a dance—place of which has not yet been definitely ascertained, but which will be announced within the next few days. The players of the A. and M.-Se- wanee football teams will be the guests and honorees at this dance. This will, in itself, be a drawing card —the sight of the Aggie eleven and their but lately formidable field op ponents engaging in the light and po lite repartee of the ballroom. Then there is the chance of seeing all the old-timers. And what is more thrilling to have an Aggie of “way- back-there” slap you on the back and ask you how “Uncle Dan” is, and then have him leave you to break in on that girl he had down for the Thanks giving Hop in the year ’01 ? The celebrated beauties of Dallas will be there to uphold their reputa tions as trippers par excellence of the light fantastic. The music will be good, and I’m telling you—write for that date with that delightful bit of femininity. But—beware the “bat- tleaxes” for we shall have a com mittee for the prevention of cruelty to Aggies at the door. Let’s go, gang! DELIGHTFUL ROMANCE CULMINATES IN A SURPRISE WEDDING Wednesday evening last, in the Methodist Tabernacle at 7:30 o’clock Mr. C. E. Olsen of Clifton, and Miss Elsie Duncan of College Station were united in the holy bonds of wedlock by Rev. King Vivion, Methodist stu dent pastor of the A. and M. College, as officiating minister. Mrs. Olsen is the daughter of W. A. Duncan, Director of Subsistence of the College and has been an unof ficial student at the College for the past two years. Mr. Olsen received his B. S. degree in Mechanical En gineering last June and is now at the College for his Master’s degree. The wedding came as a delightful surprise to the many friends of the fride and groom, for no announcement of the wedding had been made and only the two families of the couple witnessed the solemnization of the marriage ritual. The corps of cadets wishes through these columns to express its hopes that their path through life together shall be strewn only with the roses of happiness and that life be to them only a succession of endless joys. ■*——— OUR VIEWPOINT. In our last issue, one of our scribes contended that if Ike Ash- burn planted his feet on two differ ent scales he would have to use the 'aw of sines to determine his weight. Having been exposed to the subject of Trigonomentry for three terms, we beg to differ with the learned gentleman. The length of the subject’s legs and the included angle (which can be easily measured by the Mt. Wil son observatory) being known, the weight of the speciment must be cal culated by the law of tangents, since we have two sides and the included angle. —Q.
