10 THE BATTALION WEEK’S NEWS IN REVIEW (Continued from Page 1) cause the coast is clear and there is no need for further worry on your part. The complete figures on regis tration will be ready in another week and the total number of men leaving and the number of new arrivals will be given out. * * * At a meeting of the Senior Class last week it was decided that the class would not put on a senior class play this year as has been the custom of some classes in the past years. Reasons given for dispensing- with the class play were that with an en tertainment program such as is being sponsored by the Y. M. C. A. this year to compete with the home talent play would not prove worth the efforts to make it possible. A news item from Galesburg, 111. states that any student who marries j while attending Lombarg College, ! will be automatically dropped from the College at once, the faculty there decided last week. The action taken was on account of two recent elope ments of students there. J. H. Tilden, president, said it was deemed advis able to stop student marriages for such interferred with education. * * * Enjoying the generousness of their mothers, the Fort Worth A. & M. Club Sunday afternoon held a picnic in the College Camp grounds. The Fort Worth Mothers’ Club has started the custom of sending a box to their sons every year and this picnic was held at the camp grounds. Innumer able delicatessens were included on their impromptu menu, and a large time v/as had by all. * * * Representatives of the General Electric Company, including Mr. W. O. Bursch of Lynn, Mass., M. M. BRYAN NURSERY & FLORAL CO. FLOWERS FOR VALENTINE DAY X BRYAN Tate & Newsome, Student Representatives Over the Him ©f Grand Canyon He ‘Threw This ‘Ten and It Struck Unharmed on the Jagged Tpcks a Half SMile Teiovs Non-breakable Pen Barrel? Dr. F. C. Morse oi the National Park- to-Park Highway Association was unconvinced. So recently to test the new Parker Duolold barrel, he stood on the rim of Grand Canyon and threw this pen into the rock-lined chasm. When the pen was recovered amid the jagged rocks a half mile below the canyon’s edge, it was scratched a bit, but quite unbroken. When the cap was removed the point was as good as ever—a point guaranteed for 25 years, not only for mechanical perfection but for wear! You cannot get Duofold quality in any pen save that stamped “Geo. S. Parker.” Look carefully for this. Any good pen counter would like you to try this classic. Boring and Mr. Means of Schenectady N. Y., E. D. DePraydo of Houston and Mr. W. B. Clayton of Dallas, were on the campus the first of the week for the purpose of selecting seniors of the Electrical and Mechani cal engineering departments to work for the G. E. Company after their graduation A complete list of the men selected could not be obtained in time for this issue. * * * i For the purpose of gathering I information from which they may offer constructive plans for the Ed- 1 gar B.

The new secretary is twenty nine years old, is a Texan, having been born in Palestine. He is the son of J. E. McQuillen, now of Galveston. The Association of Former Students has a membership of approximately 2500 and nearly every large city in the state has a strong A. & M. club, the major ones being Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, Fort Worth, Waco, Beaumont, Temple, Galveston and El Paso. Clubs also flourish in many of the northern and eastern cities, The New York Texas A. & M. Club being the most prominent. No changes in the policy were announced with the election of Mr. McQuillen. “The work will be pushed along the same lines as heretofore” the new secretary said. Mr.. McQuillen will also assume the editorship of the Texas Aggie, offi cial organ of the association. HANDBALL TOURNAMENT ON MARCH 1st. (Continued from page 8.) end of the first term, the 2nd Battal ion played its best game of the season tying the Composite team 0-0 last Saturday. As usual, the 2nd’s line held, but (also as usual) the opposing team found that their passes were effective, and the Composite made all of its gains in that manner. Both teams were in a position to score several times. Glover, 2nd’s half-pint quarter, saved the day with several nice tackles at the safety position. Mc- Fatridge played well at guard, Cape was the most aggessive man on either team. Decker, 2nd’s fish center, was in practically every tackle; his defensive work has been the feature of every game he has played. Fish Fischer made some nice gains off tackle and end. Fish Rogers starred in the line for the Composite while Morris and Watkins showed up well the back- fie’d. Fontaine went out with a broken ankle. In the near future there will be a list published of all the men taking part in any Intra-Mural line and just how many points he has credited to his name. It will be remembered that the man getting the highest number of points will be awarded a medal at the end of the year; this medal is well worth any ones time working for. STUDENT OPINION (Continued from Page 2) that it is. Shall we never grow up? Some who read this will call it a gripe within itself—a gripe about gripes—but I just wanted to express my own reaction toward that part of what is going - on around me. I’ve read the editorials, the student opinions, and I’ve heard the round table discussions. I’d like to ask a few questions and have them answered in the columns of this paper. What do we really gain by griping? Is it a means of abtaining satisfaction and happiness ? What do we think, per sonally, of the boy who can always find fault and who can never see the good points of anything? What are the qualities found in the griper ?
