2 THE BATTALION A. H. JUNIORS PREPARE FOR ANNUAL RODEO Benefit Performance to be Given on November 10. Considered from every standpoint, the rodeo this year is going to be one of the outstanding affairs of the year. Those of the old boys who saw the rodeo last year can recall very easily the brilliant court presided over by a majestic king and his queenly con- ladies in luxurious apparel. The Rodeo proper furnished several large thrills and many small ones, and the whole program was entertaining and exciting. The men in charge this year ar* 3 working hard to put on a Rodeo which will even surpass the last one. Sid Kyle, Social Secretary for the Rodeo, is not saying much about the nature of the pageant which will inaugurate the events of the evening, but when the pagent is made known something surprising and distinctive is sure to be revealed. George Ross, Superin tendent and Ring-Master, Announcer Extrordinary, is devoting his time to securing an assortment of steers and horses who will pitch when they even see a rope or a saddle. The animals which furnished the thrills of the last roedo are to be seen in action again this year. R. M. Priestmeyer, Busi ness Manager, has the important task of financing the rodeo. M. A. Nelson promises that the decorations are to be elaborate, and Jack Turner is go ing to advertise the rodeo in real style. Even the date of the Rodeo is aus picious for a memorable evening, Monday night is the time, and the day following is Tuesday, November 11^—Armistice Day and a holiday. Therefore, remember November 10, for a big time. ♦♦♦ ■»$» ❖ ♦+♦ * TRAGEDIES OF THE * * .

Here’s what the boy said: “Hello, why this is Beaumont B. Buck. Lis- sen little girl, I’ve got a right new catcher’s mitt and I’ll be out to the dance tonight to catch some of your curves. Be there.” * * * The report is that Swede Jacobson had some very interesting experiences in the city and while there learned the special duties of a certain fish on special occasions. The “hang-in” is “graveyard stuff.” * • * “Itch” Dunn didn’t know what the blind exits were for at the Stadium and furthermore he couldn’t decide just where the Aggie rooting section was. Johnny Kindle—ditto. Oh it was all so absurd. * * * On every street car he rode Louis Hobbs was very interested in know ing if the aisle remained clear. Won der if he was anticipating a sudden rush or was it just common sense pre paredness ? * * * Steve Noble, while struttin’ his stuff in cits at the game happened to pass immediately in front of three of Dallas’ rarest female types. One of the warmest of the group was heard to remark: “Don’t punch me in the eye now Ponjola! See that good- looking man—just like an Arrow Col lar ad.” * * * But to spoil it all George Ross, Willie Langlotz, Sy Guthrie, and Sid Kyle stayed sober.

OCTOBER 25 LAST DAY FOR CLUB PICTURES A1 pictures for the Longhorn must be taken before October 25. All names of clubs and list of members must be turned in to L. Dodson, 34 Milner, before this date. Borrow a blouse if you have not one and attend to this at once. “Gon” Weddel, “Hansel” Beck- worth, and Jack Hayes reported a hil arious visit in Dallas. They now have the controlling interest in the South land Hotel. “Every dog has his day.” Hansel says Gon is a thoroughbred hound. * * * The secret is no more. We have discovered why “Wrinkle” Hopkins and “Dime” Dealy looked so good to their visiting dates. It-is because they start dressing and shining at the one o’clock class call. * * * These country boys do get wild in the city. While in Dallas M. D„ Lewis waxed quite poetic. Fourteen resturant waiters vouch that he gave this toast: Wine, wine, the nectar of the Gods, f am the connoisseur of all wines; Beer, beer, the nectie of Zeus, I am the common sewer of all beer. * * * Larry Lightner and “Yetta” Yett phoned their dates from the Adolphus and told them that they were so sorry that they hadn’t been able to make the trip to Dallas. Their dates re plied that they were heartbroken, and that they would stay at home the en tire night. With their minds unbur dened, the “gallants” rushed to the dance at “Oak Cliff” only to find that their dates were already there and dancing. We would call that “Double-two- timing.” * * * • By the way, Lambert, when you have with that girl who said, “You went home how many dates did you know Ward is my all day study and midnight dream.” *♦* *** ♦♦♦ *** *t* *i* ♦♦♦ ♦♦♦ *i* ♦♦♦ ♦♦♦ ++♦ *+♦ +$* | <|x$xj>^xjx*>3x$>3><*x$x$><$>^>3>3><gx$x$>3>3x$x*><sx$>3> *** *>; * STUDENT OPINOIN * * *. »*♦ ♦j* ♦j- ♦j* ♦j* ♦j*' IS IT RIGHT From earliest childhood, everyone is taught the value of honesty and justice. As a child grows, his im pression of these qualities is stabil ized. By the time he reaches col lege he should have an excellent idea of what is right and wrong. But does he judicially exercise these prin ciples? That is hard to answer. Is it right for him to pi?each against cer tain conditions in his school and then turn around and enter into a clique which is doing exactly the things he is preaching against? Is he honest in doing such a thing? It is a de plorable condition when men will openly say, “Vote for the right man” and then in an election will nudge each other and say, “Don’t vote for him. He doesn’t belong,” or “We’ve got to vote for so-and-so, in order that ‘they’ won’t win.” Practically anything depends upon the majority. But where a very few control the majority and are able to sway it in any direction they wish, it is very easy to “put it over” every one. BUT THINK IT OVER—IS IT RIGHT? M^aybe it is, but I doubt it.

If it was an official A. and M. dance, the blame should be laid at the door of the Dal las Club; if it was not an A. and M. dance, it should not have been adver tised as such. The only way in which one human being can properly attempt to influ ence another is the encouraging him to think for himself, instead of en deavoring to instill ready-made opin ions into his head.—Sir Leslie Step hen.
