THB BATTALION grade points; while 7 made forty or more grade points. The number of students eligible for distinction at this time is considerable larger than that of last year, and it is hoped that the number of distinguished students at the end of this session will set a record at A. and M. College. . PROMINENT BUSINESS MEN HOLD IMPORTANT COMITTEE MEETING AT COLLEGE STATION The executive committee of the Texas Cottonseed Crushers’ Associa tion arrived at College Station early Thursday morning, March 5, and were guests of the College that day. The committee came to College Sta tion at the invitation of Dr. C. C. Hedges, head of the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, who was in charge of the entertain ment of the guests during their short visit. From eight o’clock until ten o’clock the committee watched the entire corps at drill. Each unit was inspect ed as it engaged diligently in its special work and drill. At ten o’clock, the members met in the committe board rooms in exec utive session, the meeting lasting un til noon. Important matters regard ing the welfare of the association were disposed of first. Then, it was decided to hold the next meeting of the association in Galveston, on June 9, 10, and 11. The members of the committee watched the cadet corps form for its noon-day meal and march to the mess hall. The committee was then con ducted to the private dining room of the mess hall for lunch. The entire afternoon was spent in detailed inspection of the following laboratories: Mechanical Engineer ing, Textile Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, and that of the State Chemist; fol lowed by a visit to the Experiment Station. The fat stock was seen load ed on its way to compete in the Soiuthwestern Exposition and Fat Stock Show at Fort Worth. An impressive dress parade was given at five o’clock in honor of the visitors. Following this, the final meeting of the committee was held after dinner in the private dining room of the mess hall. Later that evening the various members depart ed for their respective homes. The members of the executive com mittee of the Texas Cottonseed Crushers’ Association is composed of the following, all of whom attended the meeting here: H. E Wilson, President of the Tex as Cottonseed Crushers’ Association. S. W. Wilbur, of Paris. Charles Dubose, of San Antonio. C. G. Trippe, of Dallas. Theodore Heyck, of Houston. H. W. Lynn, of Winters. George H. Bennett, Secretary of the Texas Cottonseed Crushers’ As sociation. Richard Taylor, of Paris. Some of the visitors had never been here before. All of them were very favorably impressed with conditions at College. From the interest mani fested by some of the members of the committee, it seems logical to sup pose that a more intimate connection and feeling could be established be tween various industries throughout the state and A. and M. College. By inviting more of the prominent bus iness men and leaders of industries to visit College Station and showing them the nature of the work and training here, the authorities in all events could place A. and M in closer contact with the industries and com mercial and agricultural work for which students are being trained. BATTALION STAFF HAS BANQUET Conceive of a banquet marked by good food and plenty, absence of long speeches and other distracting in fluences, the flow of sparkling wit and repartee—and you will understand why the Battalion staff banquet of last Thursday night will be long re membered and wistfully recalled by those who were epicureans for the space of an hour. The Battalion staff, representatives of the Longhorn, and several student contributors to the Battalion at various times made up the hungry table of expectant faces which soon became blandly content when the food had been sampled and then consumed in a n ost businesslike manner. After the food cuu.e smokes and after the smokes the jokes. Plans for the future were discussed amid a general feeling of pleasant associa tion and good fellowship. Those who did talk spoke very briefly and_ sat isfactorily. Several of the men were heard to remark that for once the failure to miss the regular supper served in the main dining room did not cause them any undue discomfort brought on by emptiness. It was noticeable, though that those whose gluttonish tendencies led them to eat twice in the short space of an hour had no difficulty in disposing of any part of the banquet. JUNIORS ARE FIRING FOR RECORD ON LONG RANGE TO QUALIFY WITH MACHINE GUN The infantry Juniors are firing for record on the regular rifle range this week under the direction of Captain R. L. Ware, who is in charge of the work. The same men recently fired for record on the thousand inch range, and the firing on the long range will complete the course required for qualification as marksman or sharp shooter. The last two targets will not be fired until next week, but already many of the men have qualified as marksmen and several as sharp shooters. Indications are that nearly every man who has fired the course will qualify for marksman, and many men will undoubtedly make sharp shooter requirements. This is the first year that the men have been allowed to fire machine guns for record at the College. The MODEL TAILSRS Cleaning, Dyeing, Pressing and Repairing.
