No one knows, but as graduates of A. and M these men will take with them the greatest of all symbols—the Senior ring of the College. Think what this ring means to an ex-aggie! It means a welcome anywhere, it means friends anywhere, it means a standard to be upheld, it means several years of work, and it means more, much more, than the actual price of the ring. Yet, for some reason or other, the value and honor of the Senior ring has been cheapened by someone who is evidentally not nterested in our high stand ards. I am speaking of the minature Senior rings. Merely by being a good friend of an A. and M. Senior, or by other methods, a girl can get and wear an exact duplicate of the Senior ring, but this ring will by no means mean the same to her that an A. and M. ring should. She shows it off and is proud of it. She should be! Think what an A. and M. ring stands for. Is is right for our one mark of distinction to be so treated? I think not. Seniors, lets hear from you. I believe that the minature rings could be taken off the market if some action were taken, and if anyone agreed with this idea, let him speak up. A SENIOR AND WE REPEAT! U/' # There is one long established custom of dance etiquette once in vogue on the campus that seems, as is the habit of all old customs, to have fallen into the discard. And that is the custom that a fish should not tag a Senior. It seems the rightful due of a Senior that he should enjoy the immunity of promiscuous tagging at the hands of the first year students. To one who is able to distinguish a fish from an upperclassman, it was quite obvious that the fish had no compunction whatsoever when it came to tagging Seniors at the dances given at the College between terms. Before a student has become a Senior it is hard to realize just how much one expects to benefit by the privileges that the Seniors are supposed (stress the word) to enjoy. Nothing but harm to the classes of the future can re sult in the general extension of privileges to all students. Let the men who, although it may be the result of thoughtlessness, occupy the Senior sections at the basketball games and at the picture show, and the freshmen who tag the Seniors at the dances think well of what it means to themselves before they act with such inconsideration. ANOTHER RECORD BROKEN Starting at the four mile post south of Navasota, two sturdy youths of the architectural department wishing to establish history dashed forth in the fury of the night, January 27th, at exactly the hour of eight. Time after time, they were tempted to stop in search of sleeping quarters to rest their tired limbs which had labored over a drafting table the entire preceding day. Likewise, the same number of times, they were encouraged to con tinue their march by virtue of the fact that there were two blossoming young roses anxiously awaiting their arrival. The story is like a play—they continued walking and often times J waded through the deep black gumbo [ '• : which is so characteristic of the cour-'e between Navasota and Hemp stead. n.c 3:55 A. M., F. R. Carpenter of Marshall and F. F. Dexter of Houston walked into Hempstead, a distance of eighteen miles, in seven hours and fifty-five minutes, to break an old record and to bring the steeple chase to a close.
