no short backstops or ditches next

of his opponents wild blows. The
varsity games will be played on these

annually by large universities to
promising candidates who desire grad
uate work is being made by a com
mittee on scholarship recently ap
pointed by President Hubbard.
Tempting awards from many col

A plea for additional dormitory fa
cilities and higher salary schedules is
being made before the Legislature by
L. H. Hubbard, president of the Col
lege of Industrial Arts. The board of
control failed to recommend any dor
mitories for C. I. A. for the next bi
ennium.
President Hubbard says: “If C. I.
A. is to continue its organization as
a residential college—and all colleges
for women should be organized on
such a basis—it is essential that more
dormitories be added to the C. I. A.
system.”
The campus now provides accom
modations for 600 students, the rest
reside in houses near the college.

John Tarleton seems to have about
as brainy a group of students as can
be found anywhere in a school of its
size, that is according to the grades
that went out from there for mid
term. Their honor roll requirement is
grades of “B” or better in every sub
ject. There were sixty-three students
who made the necessary grades to
entitle them to a place on the honor
roll.

Mr. Sullivan is finishing the Gym.
by degrees. The degree that is being
worked on at present is the building
of showers and lockers for the Phys
ical Training students.
The space under the seats in the
north end of the gym. will be filled
in with showers and over a thousand
lockers so that the fish taking P. T.
next year will be able to change into
their gym. suits there instead of in
their rooms.
All of the P. T.’s will be required
to have a gym. suit of some sort and
that “some sort” will leave room for
lots of individuality and original con
ceptions as to just what constitutes
a gym. suit.
It might be interesting to the cadets
to know that if this were C. I. A.
the Gym. class would be called a
course in “Aesthetic Dancing,” and
the so called suits would be “Cos
tumes?”

In carrying out the intensive pro
gram of repairing started last sum
mer the college will begin work on
the dormitories about the 1st of
March. The work is to consist of re
pairs to the heating and water sys
tems and painting the pipes and ra
diators. All screens and windows will
be repaired and the exterior of the
windows will be painted. Alpha and
Beta halls will be painted both inside
and out. These halls have long been
in need of repair and it will be a
great treat for the Sons of Rest to
have their palaces put in good shape
once more.
This work will cost somewhere be
tween six and eight thousand dollars
by the time all repairs are finished
that they are figuring on. Some work
is done every year but this is to be a
more complete job than they have
tried to make of the others.
Possibly some of the cadets have
been wondering what it is all about
and at last we know. It is a new pow
er line to take care of the increased
output from the power plant. The new
line is No. 2 bare wire which will re
place the old No. 8 wire. The line is ,
strung on 35 ft. poles. It will extend
from the power plant to the Consoli
dated School and to the I. & G. N.
Depot. The production of the power
plant has been increased in the last
year or two and the little wire has
been unsafe to use. This new wire will
take care of all development for the
next twenty years.
The line is being put up at a cost
to the college of about $5,000.00. The
material alone will cost a little over
$3,000.00. This is another good move
and maybe the college will keep up
the good work and our system will
soon approach somewhere within the
bounds of perfection.

Texas Tech is going strong for a col-
leg’e as young as it is. The 1500 stu
dents has been registered and a few
more are still expected to register.
This puts Tech up on a basis with the
best of the colleges in the state.
A fraternity bathing society con
test has been banned at S. M. U. by
Dr. Selecman. It seems that the main
objection was that the organization
was an outlaw fraternity.

M)r. “Tommie” Mayo, well known
librarian, has been granted a leave
of absence and will study at Columbia
University next year. He will take
his doctors degree.

The Battalion’s attention has been

nett, of Fort Worth, former Lieut.

Kizer, last Thursday evening. “Luck

permanent improvements on Kyle
Field; and other general routine mat
ters of the college. The outcome of
the meeting was not public at the

DEBATING TEAM TO MAKE
DEBUT.
(Continued from Page 1)
debated in public with the Kansas
Aggies on March 17th.
Anyone interested is invited to at
tend this debate Saturday night.
The first Sunday afternoon pro
gram, sponsored by the new Y cabinet,
was a pleasing success. A very large
crowd of cadets and campus people
turned out and found the “Y” put-
ing on a work of real value. The song
service attracted many, but Prexy’s
talk received the most attention, a
very short talk, but so full of mean
ing that the students appreciate, and
chapel speakers overlook, that every
one enjoyed it. The show “The Man
Nobody Knows,” was very good for
its type, and was very interesting.
The program for next week will be
reports of the A. and M. delegates to
the National Y. M. C. A.-Y. W. C. A.
convention held this year in Milwau
kee, the regular song service, and
show, “The Heart of Lincoln. The
cooperation of the students was ap
preciated by the “Y” cabinet, and the
encouragement will lead them to more
constructive work, that will be a so
lution to the many sore spots of the
campus life today.
