About The Battalion. (College Station, Tex.) 1893-current | View Entire Issue (Oct. 8, 1924)
THE BATTALION amended last spring. The aims of thQ club and the conditions of member ship are stated as folows on the same application blank “The Forensic Club exists for the purpose of giving its members prac tice in parliamentary procedure and extemporaneous speaking, and of en couraging intercollegiate forensic. Though it is hoped that the sessions of the club will be enjoyable, sociabil ity will'be incidental to serious work. The constitution therefore provides that a member may be suspended for continued absences from the weekly meetings, or for neglect of duty, and may be destored to membership only upon written petition accompanied by a reinstatement fee. “Any sophomore, junior, or senior student who has the requisite ability and resolution may be elected a mem ber by two-thirds vote, upon comple tion of the above application, which must lie on the table one week befor^ being voted upon. “The annual dues of $1.50, payable in advance, are the same whether a member is admitted at the beginning or near the end of the college ses sion.” The public duty of the Forensic Club is to encourage intercollegiate debate. Though intercollegiate de baters may be chosen from seniors, juniors, and sophomores who are not members of the club, preference will be given to members. Students who are able to get along without Wednesday moving pictures for the sake of the training which is offered by the Forensic Club are in vited to give their applications to the Secretary, L. E. Hagan, or to any other member of the club. “HOWDY DO” By Foster F. Breazeale I have seen you and you have seen me And I'm quite sure we could both agree, If we’d throw away the strangeness and wear out the new, And learn to smile and say, “Howdy you do.” Just a little hand shake and a little grin, Has a lot of electricity among a crowd of men; So let’s scatter a friendly feeling all about the place, And sprout a smile on every long and worried face. We can do it—it isn’t hard to do— If we’ll forget the strangeness and say, “Howdy do.” There isn’t much exertion, there is nothing to it, The main thing is, just up and do it.

FORENSIC CLUB PREPARES FOR INDUSTRIOUS YEAR The small but select organization which had the honor last spring of de feating the debate team of the Okla homa Agricultural and Mechanical College has begun its year’s work with the determination to make extempor aneous speaking and intercollegiate debate more important activities on the A. and M. campus. The present membership will be increased by the addition of a number of students whose applications are now pending. The aims of the Forensic Club and its standards of membership and work are indicated by certain provis ions of the club constitution as In tunnels, behind walls, beneath floors in every American factory, complex sys tems of piping inter-connect the various departments. Delivering water, steam, compressed air, oil and gas to every point where they are needed, these pipe-lines enable each department of the institution to specialize in its particular function. T hey make possible th e centralizing of the production ofpower, heatand gas at eflicient large-capacity plants. They allow the isola tion offire hazards and obnoxious processes. Should one of them fail, however, pn> duction might be crippled, even stopped. That is why it is so important to get uni form quality in every part of a piping in stallation; why the Crane name, the assur ance of dependable quality on products that coverall pipingneeds, means so much to architects, engineers and owners.
