THE BATTALION
are thrust upon them, they follow
their instructions (and we know that
they are difficult at times) with the
interest of Aggies at heart, and con
sequently, the charm of all A. and
M. spirit rests in the band.
Between talks of yell leaders and
amid clamors of tumultuous voices,
the Aggie band introduces us to the
real traditional A. and M. spirit with
the rendition of the quivering notes
of “Wildcat” at our first “College
Nites”, it sticks with us faithfully
during the short four years we spend
here, never misses a yell practice,
works extra time to make music for
us, and always, if possible, heeds to
the call of an Aggie friend for out
side help. The name of Aggieland
is broadcasted from the instruments
of its band. Lastly, after the treas
ured sheepskins have been awarded
and the prized senior rings have come
to grace the fingers of those who have
deserved, it is the Aggie band that
comforts the hearts of the departing
seniors, bids them God’s blessing and
good-bye for old A. and M. From
the first “College Nite” to the last
Final Parade, our band never slack
ens. ATTENTION, MUSICIANS!
LET, US, THE A. AND M. STU
DENT BODY, SALUTE YOU, THE
AGGIE BAND OF 1923-24!
FIVE SELECTED COMPETE
RHODES SCHOLARSHIP

ment being that he will conduct him
self in a manner befitting his position.
One of these scholarships is offer
ed in Texas every two out of three
years. Each school of education in
the state is allowed to select a cer
tain number of candidates; A. and
M. being allowed five. Each candi
date presents credentials and recom
mendations to a committee corilposed
of educators of the state. From the
total number, all but a few are weed
ed out from the credentials they pre
sent, and the remainder are called
before the committee and the winner
is selected by his personal qualifi
cations.
Another scholarship will be given
next year and as only ten men put
in their applications this year, Mr.
Mayo is very anxious to have more
apply for the next one.

Buildings; C. W. Moore, Administra
tion; S. C. Bartlett, Student Activ
ities; N. H. Abrams, Classes; C. It.
Eschenberg, Military; J. F. Longley,
Organizations; J. V. Myers, Ath
letics; and V. H. Montgomery, Col
lege Life Editors; and W. J. Han
cock, Circulation Manager. With the
aid of these assistants, Editor-in-
Chief R. M. Sherman, Business Man
ager J. F. Baker, and Art Editor Z.
Smith should be able to do the bulk
of all the work. And they will do
it. It remains for the students, es
pecially the underclassmen, to do
their part.
The general scheme of the Long
horn has already been decided upon,
and the art plans are almost com
plete', although no absolutely definite
plans have been made. There will
be eight sections in the book, and
they will appear in the order desig
nated by the list of the different edi
tors above. The great obstacle in
the way of the staff is the determin
ation of the plates which will be used
by the different clubs. Pictures are
being made at the studio every day,
and it is VERY important that mem
bers of each organization visit the
studio on the day set aside for them.
This is only a small help which could
be extended by the students; to the
staff, it would be a great help and
would lessen the worries which are
confronting them. The old boys al
ready know of the thrills, but the
freshmen are reminded of those
which will be yours shortly after next
June when the two of you are scan
ning over the pages of the Aggie re
cord book. Have your picture made
stay behind the staff, and be ready
to receive a great Longhorn for ’24.
“BAT” CONTEST FOR
SUBS SUCCESSFUL
(Continued From Page 1)
school; so the task of selling many
more subscriptions than some of the
others was assigned to first sergeant
Wendler. He worked hard and earn
ed the prize even though he was
closely pursued in the contest by the
first sergeants of Company “A” Sig
nal Corps and Company “A” Infan
try.
The Battalion appreciates the co
operation extended by all the stu
dents, especially the first sergeants,
and only regrets that more prizes
could not be offered; for there were
many who deserved them. To the
winner, alias the publishers of one
edition of the Battalion, the Battal
ion staff extends its willingness to
cooperate. It will take such extra
editions to make the Battalion rep
resentative of the whole school by
which it is published.
The final standing of all the or
ganizations was:
