Through the efforts of L. G. Jones
who is assisted by J. R. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
