Let’s give the “Y” credit for bringing a good pic ture to this place and hope that it will continue the good work. Every one of us likes a good show. There is no reason why we shouldn’t have the best. * ❖ Perhaps it would be v eil to suggest to you Freshmen and forgetful Soph omores and Juniors that the middle section of seats in the Assembly Hall is reserved for Seniors this year the same as it has been in the past. You fellows judge accordingly and pick your seats elsewhere, thus avoiding any unnecessary trouble. Remember that when you respect the rights of the Seniors, they will show more willingness in respecting yours. ❖ ❖ * Before dropping the subject of the show, there is a little that can be said concerning our conduct. It’s like rubbing the old sore to say anything, but we should be more careful in our actions in the Assembly Hall where visitors as well as members of the faculty mingle with us. If nothing else will do but to yell, then be care ful of the words that are used! * ❖ ❖ In the mad rush to obtain “that old Aggie Spirit” for football, many of us may be inclined to forget that there is another group of men rep resenting us on the field of honor, the Senior Dairy Husbandry team. These men are now preparing for the Na tional Dairy Judging contest at De troit, Michigan. Can’t we lend them our thoughts and be the extra man with them as with the football team ? Fight ’em, Aggies! And a hint to the Freshmen along another line may help a little. Take more interest in yell practice! Just the other night a Sophomore noticed two Freshmen remaining silent thru the yells. When he requested them to make some noise and help in the yelling, they merely cast one of those “Go to ” looks. Is that right? Let’s see if this attitude can’t be rem edied in the future.

THE BATTALION Extra Subscrip tion Contest will close Saturday and all subscriptions must be turned in to the circulation manager, R. E. O. Sloan at 80 Milner by twelve o’clock of that day. Alb indications point to the fart that chif the most hotly contested in many ses sions. It is rumored that Battery “B”, winner of the contest for the past three years, “G” Company, which published the special edition in 1923, the Ross Hall Signal Corps aggrega tion, and “D” Company Infantry are well grouped at the top, with several “dark horses” in the offing. It is gen erally believed that the last minute count will cause some radical changes in the standing, since some of the crafty first sergeants are disguising their real strength by turning in only a tithe of their subscriptions. The feature of the race is that all forts to garner the elusive extra sub scriptions.
