Even after all the reports that have
come out the Dallas Club was the
first to get to use the new mess hall.
The Dallas Mothers Club gave the
Dallas boys a “feed” Sunday night
that was equal to any ever set before
anyone in the mess hall before. There
were ten or twelve of the mothers
here to see that the boys got enough
to eat and from all reports no one
went hungry. They brought part of
the food with them and the rest was
prepared at the mess hall. About one
hundred twenty boys took part in the
feast. A few extemporaneous speech
es were made by some of the boys.
Dr. Walton made a speech expressing
his appreciation for the cooperation
of the club at various times.
Things like that are what makes
the school days seem brighter and
helps to take the monotony out of the
routine which we have to go through
with at times. It is good to know that
at last the mess hall is ready for use
after so long a time and that it was
dedicated, although informally, in
such a fitting manner.
J. D. King-, of Ennis, and a fresh
man in the institution has been chos
en to represent A. and M. in the Na
tional Inter-Collegiate Oratorical con
test. The elimination contest for Tex
as probably will be held in April.
Winners in the elimination contests
will participate in the national con
test to be held in Los Angeles, Calif.,
where $5,000 will be awarded to the
winners.
This is A. and M.’s first entry in
such contests and it is only natural
! that the representative chosen should
be one who will have a chance to de
velop along those lines.

In ancient days Mohammed said:
“If the mountain won’t come to Mo
hammed, then Mohammed will go to
the mountain.” Now they are applying
that to radio. If it is inconvenient to
bring the concert to the studio, then
the studio is taken to the concert.
It is quite unusual for one person
to possess three handsome Steinway
pianos but such is the good fortune
of Dr. S. E. Asbury, campus resident
and lover of arts and music. Last
week there was broadcast from his
home a musical program by remote
control of WTAW. The program in-
i eluded several piano trios and duets.
| Those taking part were Mrs. Albert
| Goodman, Mr. Thomas Mayo, and his
mother, Mesdames E. L. Harter, A.
J. Weaver, L. G. Jones, and T. W.

TWO HOUR LECTURES
Student assent has been given to
the proposal to do away with lectures

Independent.
Instead of coming to classes for
lectures the students will attend to
i study. The usual 60 minute period
