We were duly thanked for our co-operation and assured that we would have a beauti- prefers for its clay to be a little weathered before it commences to cover it. With an ever present picture of wagons making a last minute job of hauling away this surplus clay, (probably, if I know my Brazos weather and my College system) immediately after a four inch rain, I await action in removing our latest “eye-sore” with consider able anguish.

Andreas Pavley is a wizard and the conductor, Adolph Schmid, is excellent. “I Pagliacci” was also a success, but in a smaller way, chiefly because the greater per cent of the audience was unable to follow the general trend of the singing, since it was in a foreign tongue. The actual perfor mance of the singers was flawless and the singing received hearty applause. This entertainment is the first of a series that is to be sponsored by the Senior Class, in order that the solicitation of funds from the student body at various times may be elimi nated. From the proceeds of this show, the Seniors received about $160.00, which has; been turned over to the Senior Commitee. “I guess I’ve lost another pupil,” said the professor as his glass eye rolled into the sewer. —Exchange. ful place to eat in. That there would be plenty of room for all of us was made certain—but while he talked I began to wonder which was the more important—where we eat or WHAT we eat. We have listened to endless dis- cusssions about the quality of mess hall food. Nothing has been done. We may be certain that NOTHING will be done. We will have a most wondr ous annex and in it we will be fed half picked chickens and endless vari eties of Hash! I am not bemoaning our state. In four years one can become accustom ed to most anything. However, I would like to invite the Faculty or any portion of it to happen in unexpectedly sometime and dine with us. I will gladly relinquish my seat— the “show” would be worth ten times the meal. Of course nothing will be done. I am not so foolish as to expect that! Nevertheless, we are a thankful group of little “boys”—for soon there will be a beautiful annex. H« H« H« In spite of the fact that we students of A. & M., through long contact with first one “eye-sore” on the campus after another, have be come immune to any ordinary discord in the landscape here, nevertheless there are times when some unusually unnecessary clash or litter pile prates on our artistic tastes and wounds our aesthetic sense. Of course there is not the proper provision made, finan cially, for the beautification of our campus, and those in charge of grooming the college surroundings undoubtly deserve praise for what they have accomplished; on the other hand, even a cow pasture can be beautiful. For long weeks a jagged line of clay has extended from the Main Building to the Military Walk, mark ing the site of the new hot water line. Not only was work delayed on this line which might well have been laid during the summer, and, by this delay, causing students in several dormitories and officials and instruc tors in the Main Building much inconvenience, but now that the line has been completed, the marks of it still remain. At first complaints regarding this particular “eye-sore” were satisfied with the remark that the dirt over the line must be allowed to settle. The apparent justice of this rebuttal silenced further questions. Now, after practically two weeks of steady rain that fell during the holidays, the line still remains. The Quadrangle is one of the most beautiful parts of our campus. Here is found perhaps the best turf in the vicinity of the campus, and this strip of verdant green, backed by th« bulk of the Main Building, always makes an impression on a visitor to our college. If this clay is not removed in the near future, the Quadrangle will receive commencement visitors with a broad scar across it. There is of course plenty of time before the grass begins to grow out; but while the writer is an E. E., he knows that even the campus Bermuda PALACE THURSDAY—FRIDAY—SATURDAY Great Garbo ANTONIO MORENO In “THE TEMPTERESS” QUEEN WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY PAULINE FREDERICK IN “HER HONOR THE G0VEN0R” FRIDAY AND SATURDAY CONSTANCE TALMADGE IN “THE DUCHESS OF BUFFAL0W” DIXIE WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY RENEE DOREE IN “BLARNEY” FRIDAY, CLARA BOW IN “PLASTIC AGE” SATURDAY, FRED THOMPSON IN , “A REGULAR SCOUT” AGGIELAND BARBER SHOP Try Us For Real Service We Will Serve You What You Call For.
