RESOLUTIONS OF THE FRESH
MAN CLASS ON THE DEATH
OF MR. G. W. HOBGOOD
We, the members of the Freshman
Class, do here submit the following
resolutions on the death of Mr. G.
W. Hobgood the father of our frienl
and classmate, G. W. Hobgood, Jr.
Whereas, in His infinite wisdom it
had seemed just that God call unco
him the father of our beloved class
mate, G. W. Hobgood, Jr.
Therefore, be it resolved that the
members of the Freshman Class ex
tend their deepest sympathy and
condolence to the family of Mr. G.
W. Hobgood.
Also, be it resolved, that a copy of
these resolutions be sent to his fam
ily, and that a copy be furnished The
Battalion, The Daily Bulletin, and
the publications of his home city,
Tyler.

suction and intends to use him for
drawing wires through underground
conduits. While this will throw many
ferrets out of work, the theory of
“The greatest good for the greatest
number” must be maintained. It may
also be found practicable to draw the
copper wire directly from the ore by
means of the suction. This will
greatly reduce the cost of Gong serv
ice. Still another theory is that be
cause of his highly developed and ex
traordinary resistant knees, Mr. Sher
man can be developed into a vei’y
efficient pole climber.
But whatever may be the mark of
distinction, their classmates wish
them ever success in their chosen pro
fession. Mr. Sherman hails from the

SENIOR CIVIL
ENGINEERS HONORED
Representatives of the Gong Tele
phone Co. have paid a high tribute
to the C. E. Dept, and to our class
mates, Messrs. Pinson and Sherman,
in selecting them as especially suit
able material for development by
their company. In speaking of the
matter, Mr. Pinson is quoted as say
ing, “This is the highest honor that
has been, bestowed upon me since I
was made honorary nozzle bearer of
the Forney Fire Dept.” Sherman
has issued the following statement
for publication, “Never since my
Fish days, when I was ex-bfficio bear
er of the Flaming Recepticle, have I
been imbuded with so deep a sense of
responsibility. I am glad to be a
credit to my institution.”
Several theories have been ad
vanced as to why these two men have
been selected from a class of several
hundred. One of the most plausible
is that because of the unusual elastic
properties of Mr. Pinson’s nose, which
may be flattened at will, he is espe
cially qualified to inspect wood
pecker holes and other cavities which
from time to time develop in the
company’s poles. Another theory
which is given a good deal of cred
ence is that Pinson having acquired
the cognomen of “The Forney Bull-
Dog,” while on the Aggie football
squad, the company wishes to tether
him out at night so that he may safe
guard their more valuable poles.
With these theories in mind, and re
membering the fact that Mr. Pinson
is especially designed to climb poles
of exceptional size, we can readily
see why an enterprising company like
the Gong, has selected him.
While Mr. Sherman lacks many of
the above qualifications, he has others
which especially fit him for the serv
ice. It has been suggested that the
company has learned of his powerful

C. Floyd Hester, director of the
southwest area of the United States
for the Student Friendship Fund,
spoke last night in the assembly hall
in the interest of the world-wide
movement to aid the most needy stu
dents of Central Europe, Russia, an:i
the Near East. He told an interest
ing story of the plight of students in
the European countries, speaking afz-
er four years of experience in Sibe
ria, North’ China, and Russia, as well
as the principal university centers of
Europe. The speaker himself is an
alumnus of Weslegan Methodist Col
lege of New York, Oberlerlin College

“The local campaigns form part of
not only a nation-wide, but a world
wide movement to aid the most needy
of the students and professors in Cen
tral Europe, Russia, and the Near
East,” Mr. Hester said. The univer
sities of Missouri, Arkansas and Tex
as, are making arrangements to hold
their campaigns this month.
During the last three years over
$1,500,000 has been distributed
through the European Student Re
lief or Student Friendship Fund as
it is called in America. Aid has been
given to 105,000 students in 200 in
stitutions scattered through 19 dif
ferent European countries. Meals
numbering 22,234,345 have been
served. Medical aid has been given,
clothing has been distributed and
student enterprises have been devel
oped, such as laundries, book bin
deries, shoe repair shops.
“Not only is the help brought to
the destitute students important, but
equally so, is the spirit of friendship
and good will, that goes with the heip
and has already spread to students
of many lands, giving promise of a
hopeful future,” said Mr. Hester.
The Dog in the Manger.
One day a Pekinese took a nap in
the Manger of an Ox. When the Ox
came home for Supper the Dog, en
raged at being disturbed, snarled,
barked, and attempted to bite the Ox.
Whereupon the Noble Animal took
one peek at the Peke, horned in and
knocked him for a Tin of Spratt’s
Biscuits through the Barn Door.
Moral:
A Dog is entitled to the Mange, but
the Ox must have his Manger.
