The state press is a wonderful
thing. Articles like the above are kept
Out of it through some mysterious
means, and by like mysterious means
the press manages to get absurd and
untrue reports on its wires. Two
weeks ago the A. P. carried a story
telling of the resignation of a third
of tile Freshman class of A. and M.
due to hazing, and last week the Unit
ed Pf'ess gave out the information
that bathing was forbidden for several
days here due to the shortage of
wawr. They were both good news
stories, even to the commandant and
president.

was held for Col. Mayo was very good
and met with his approval. Col. Mayo
inspected all the various divisions,
equipment, and material. He also vis
ited Several practice classes on Tues
day and was very well pleased with
them.

OPPORTUNITY FOR SUMMER
WORK.
Anyone interested in social work
and has not definitely decided on any
certain work this summer should see
Mir. Cashion at the Y about joining
a summer service group in New York
City, carrying out the program of the
Y. M. C. A. activities in that city.
The work will be the supervision of
athletics, teaching, social study, and
other similar occupations that will re
quire only a part of his time. All his
expenses, except railroad fare will be
paid. This will make a very desirable
trip for someone, but whoever desires
to take advantage of this offer should
act immediately, as only twenty col
lege students from the whole country
will be selected, the allotment of the
Southwest being only four.
BAPTIST BANQUET.
The Annual Baptist Banquet will be
held in the new banquet room of the
mess hall Friday evening at 7 o’clock.
All Baptist students and campus peo
ple are invited and urged to attend.
Pity the poor pickpocket—he isn’t
doing business until he gets his hand
in!
Sweet young thing: “And why do
they call the Aggies ‘Farmers’?”
Bright Cadet: “B'ecause they all
sow wild oats.”
