THE BATTALION OFFICERS 360TH INFANTRY WILL MEET AT COLLEGE (Continued from Page 1) cal prot^em on the ground is planned. Both the officers of the 360th Infantry and the regular officers on duty at the College will attend a dinner in the evening. At this time those splendid achievements which have dis tinguished the 360th Infantry will probably be reviewed as rich remi niscences and memories of the events which have built up legends and tra ditions for the regiment. Sunday morning will probably be given over to talks on the several branches of the service by the officers in charge of those units here. The work will be concluded at noon. The schedule has been planned pur- posely to allow elasticity and to per mit several social features, at the same time really giving the officers opportunity to carry on a valuable two-day course of instruction and training. The response to the invi tations sent out by Colonel Ashburn indicates a spirit which anticipates a reunion successful in every way. BASEBALL SEASON TO BEGIN FRIDAY (Continued from Page 7) At third Bell and Hollis Tucker, both of them Sophomores, are looking ex ceptionally good. In the outer gardens are three let- termen: Puckett, who was the best outfielder in the conference last sea son, the hard hitting Kyle, and Wil liams who covers a world of ground and is a thief on the bases. In ad- , dition to this trio are three Sopho mores: Hightower, Grayson, and Shel ton, who are making the old men step lively. Considering the prospects as a whole, the outlook is brighter this season than it has been for many years. With the material at hand and with Coach Rothgeb’s skillful hand at the helm, the Aggie aggregation will be able to give a very detailed ac count of themselves when the season is over and the team instead of be ing a second division club as has been prescribed, will be fighting for a place on the top of the ladder. OXFORD DEBATERS’ CONTEST. Before their recent departure for Hawaii, the Oxford Debate Team was asked by the Stanford University Daily Palo Alto for their opinions on American college life. Concerning fraternities the three Englishmen voiced unanimous disap proval. “The college fraternities seem to exist to force their members into a mound,” said Woodruff. “The pressure on the individual is tremen dous. Every tangent and every angle that would make him stand out as an individual is removed. One fra ternity man told me that they took in only the boys who gave promise of ‘doing something big.’ That, to me, seems appalling. It implies a scram ble for a certain sort of success that crowds out some of the finest values of living.” Contrasting the American plan of university with the English, Wood ruff said: “There is a genial toler ance at Oxford for students who would rather talk than work. Ameri can colleges are over organized, and TTN connection, with a new pumping station at Milwaukee, Wisconsin, additional feeder mains were required. It was necessary that one of these should carry an unusually large proportion of the water supply, and 54-inch pipe was decided upon. Although pipe of material other than cast iron had a lower first cost. Cast Iron Pipe was chosen because the possibil ity of interruption to service had to be reduced tc a minimum. The photograph above shows a section of pipe being lowered into the ditch in the process of laying it.

Certainly modern invention—modern engineering skill and organiza tion, will prove more than equal to the demands of the architecture of the future.

It is a great mistake to do everything too well. There are many things that, although they are worth doing, are not worth doing well.” “Few persons have a taste for schol arship, which is of no more impor tance in itself that a taste for dough nuts or cabbage. It is a mistake for a college to try to force education on a student.”—The New Student. ❖ «$• * SAY BO, DIDJ’A! * ❖ * Say Bo, did’ja Wait with joyous Anticipation of an EXCITING SATURDAY afternoon in BRYAN ?

Quizzing the Faculty. To the editor of the University of Colorado Silver and Gold goes the pleasure of quizzing the faculty. A series of twenty questions was sub mitted to the faculty recently. Each week one question will appear in the Silver and Gold with a gist of the faculty answers. Some of the questions were: 1. What, in your opinion, is the most outstanding cause of flunking ? 2. Do you believe in final exami nations ? Why ? 3. Do you take student’s outside activities into consideration when grading ? 4. Do you believe that Phi Beta Kappa is, or should be the goal of the student ? 5. Do you consider the price of text books when ordering for your class ?
