THE SENIOR CLUB ROOM
The Stiiicr club room is a place that has been given over by the Y. M. C. A.
for the use of the Senior class and the “T” club. Our attention has been!
recently called to the fact that many underclassmen who are not “T” men
have acquired the habit of using the clubroom. It seems that the privileges
of the Senior class are few enough, but those we do have are certain to be
more appreciated by the present underclassmen when they become Seniors
if they do not attempt to usurp them during their Sophomore and Junior
years.
The club room is equipped with an excellent radio, pool tables, tables for
writing, and various other clubroom equipment and the members of the 1
Senior class should make it a common meeting ground, a place for enjoying
the personal contact with fellows that they seldom come in contact with
elsewhere.
Renu mber that it is open to Seniors and “T” men at all times.

SENIOR CLUB COMMITTEE.
SENIOR SECTIONS
•ak.-y
The Battalion this week carries an appeal from the Senior Club Room
Committee that brings to our notice the significant fact that underclassmen
are enjoying the privileges ef seniors almost more than the seniors them
selves are.
At the S. M. U. Basketball game many seniors had to look for seats
because the senior section looked inviting to a large number of sophomores
and freshmen.
Last Monday afternoon a junior and a sophomore played “nigger-
Ifillards” on a pool table in the Senior Club room while three seniors
waited—and waited a long time—for them to finish their game.
Last Saturday night at the picture show sophomores and freshmen
were in the majority in the senior section. Seniors were forced to take seats
in spattered places; cadets escorting ladies failed to find seats; campus
families were split up and forced to sit in the balcony.
Many upperclassmen fail to realize the underlaying idea of these
senior sections. Because you let a senior sit in a reserved section does not
mean that thlat senior is superior to you in any way,, neither is there any
idea of military discipline involved. When you are a senior you will appre
ciate the privilege of avoiding the rush with the knowlege that a seat is
waiting for you; you will be thankful for the opportunity of sitting with
a; group of fellow-classmen who were “fish” together and who have only a
few more months to spend together; you will be jealous of every moment that
separates you from those classmates of yours. Don’t spoil an evening for a
senior by taking a reserved seat from him and his friends.
For the freshmen at least, there may be the defense that the location
of the ' Senior sections are unknown. For the benefit of everyone concerned,
we make the following reminders:
Assembly Hall Picture Shows—Center section and first row balcony.
Basketball Games—Section immediately above band.
Baseball and Track—Section directly back of home plate.
Billards, etc.—Senior Club Room.
A TESTIMONIAL
a number of “dateless” girls and, just as was said, they very nearly went
into spasms at the thought of meeting me.
I buckled on my “armor,” and with your advice as my shield I made
my debut.
x o&cerday I tried the library formula. It worked fine. After spending
a few off periods in its chambers, I can already feel an air of culture about
me. I am thrilled to death over the possibilities. I know that my views are
broader and at the last minute I have been saved for my School. However,
I didn’t find magizines that had any funny stories in them. I think that a
few periodicals like the “College Cutups” “False Stories” and “Bedtime
Stories” would be very helpful to the average student—and just think of
the cultural odor that they would lend.
P. S. I am in favor of more articles by Mr. “X.” He is doing a great
thing for our school. It is a shame that we don’t have more men like him.
Student uplift is a noble thing and a few hours of cultural reading won’t
injure anyone. Also I think that it was a beautiful thing for him to suggest
our he]ping to shorten the long evenings of the dateless girls of our
community.

Since reading Mr. “X” article, reply to “College Life at A. & M.,” in
the last week’s Battalion a new light has come into my life. A great day
hhs dawned for me. Whereas last week I was uncultured and batting a
perfect zero socially—ftoday I find myself the most sought after person on
the campus.
I read the article with a great deal of zest—immediately dashed over
td’ the library—finding it closed I followed the other suggestion that was
offered. With the aid of the Bryan central I was able to get in touch with , , „ ,
