The door was locked and the shades
were lowered in Apple Wards’ shack
last Sunday. Why was it thus ?

There was a girl at the dance Sat
urday night that Bassett Orr would
not turn loose. And lots of her other
shieks, especially the stags, say it
wasn’t fair.

While on the campus this week-end
a Rice girl saw Ed Capers wearing
the white duck leggings which have
become so popular with the staff-ser
geants this year. “Oh look, see that
boy with a white boot and a red boot.”

It is rumored that “Co” Mowlan
has applied to Colonel Todd for a very
popular concession during the Thanks

Putnam, Magruder, and Harpole,
the Fearless Fire-fighting Triumvi

this week-end.

And it might be mentioned here
that a Miss Jennings, one of the fair
week-end guests persisted in calling
a certain young man Harpole who,
they say, was really not Harpole.

There are two very distinct re
semblances between Mule Wilson and
the brilliant Red Grange. Both have
injured shoulders and both are good

ANIMAL HUSBANDRY JUNIORS
HOST AT BIG BANQUET
A banquet was given in honor of
the International Livestock Judging
Team last Wednesday night at the
Animal Husbandry pavilion with the
Junior A. H. students acting as hosts.
The guests were the members of the
team, all those who had contested for
a place on it, Coach Stangel, the
members of the Animal Husbandry
Department, Dr. R. P. Marstellar,
the members of the Saddle and Sir
loin Club, and the freshmen and
sophomores who intend to specialize,
in Animal Husbandry.
The meal was planned by W. A.
Duncan, supervisor of subsistence,
and Chef B. D. Chumbley. A pig,
donated by the Animal Husbandry
Department, and roasted perfectly
under the personal direction of Chef
Chumbley, formed the substance of
the banquet.
After the last of the guests had
moved away from the board of cheer,
George Ross, acting as toastmaster,
called upon R M Priesmeyer, Busi
ness Manager of the Junior Rodeo,
who presented each member of the
team with a check for one hundred
and seventy dollars, the proceeds of
the rodeo. As they received the
check, the seniors answered with a
few terse, broken sentences that
showed plainly how greatly they were
affected by the responsibility that
was theirs
Speeches by Senior Animal Hus
bandry students, the members of the
department, Coach Stangel, Professor
Williams and Dr. Marstellar followed.
All the talks bore on the same theme,
being composed of congratulations
and advice to the team.
The very atmosphere was charged
with that old “Aggie Fight” and one
had but to glance at a member of the
team to see there both the response
to that appeal and the will to bring
back that bronze bull to A. and M.
ERECTION OF TELEPHONE
POLES CAUSES INTEREST
The line of telephone poles which
has been laid from the E. E. building
on past Mitchell Hall and the Assem
bly Hall to the interurban track has
caused more than a few students to
wonder just what the new cable is
for. Various opinions have been ex
pressed, and the wide range of sup
positions is a tribute to the imagina
tive powers of some of our students.
Some seem to think that new lights
were being put on the campus, and
others were inclined to think that per
haps a new type of wireless antenna
was being constructed. It remained
for one of our E. E. students to solve
the mystery. He suggested that the
cable might be a “booster” for the in
terurban line. Students other than
E. E.’s are reminded that the word
“booster” does not mean an adver
tisement when used in reference to
power transmission.
The opinion of the E. E. was af
terwards confirmed. The new cable
is only temporary, and during the
short time of its existence will carry
power from the college generators
to run the interurban while the con
verter in Bryan is being overhauled.
This overhauling will require only a
few days.
Students living in Mitchell Hall are
informed that they should not be
alarmed to see the kilowatts flowing
along the line, and possibly an oc
casional coulomb.

Good news for all
lovers of graphic pie
Published in
the interest of Elec
trical Development by
an Institution that will
be helped by what
ever helps the
Industry.
Graphic pie enough to satisfy the hunger
of a life-time; no end of graphic mountains
to scale and toboggan down. That's what
the man who loves to analyze graphs and
statistical symbols can look forward to
when he comes with the electrical industry.
Economic study is one of many branches
in this broad held. If you have thought
of electricity as limited to engineers, this
other side of the picture will interest you.
The commercial organization with its
problems of distributing, selling, adver
tising; the manufacturing end with its
opportunity for trained technical men; the
legal and accounting branches—all this
and more totals electrical industry.
It may pay you to keep this in mind
against graduation.
