students. Membership in the Ex-stu
dents association carries with it a
subscription to the Texas Aggie, and
is also a means whereby tickets to the
various athletic contests may be ob
tained. Out of last years senior class
86 per cent pledged themselves to
membership in the alumnae organiza
tion.

Many of the students will probably
be interested in the announcemjent
made Monday that Mr. Marshall Bul
lock had purchased stock in the T.
K. Lawrence store in Bryan, and
would be with the Lawrence store
now. Mr. Bullock has been with Wil
son Bradley for several years, and
has made many friends among the
college boys. He hopes to see his
friends in his new location.

THE MOVIES IN THE COLLEGE.
Cambridge, Mass.—Not to be out
done by Columbia University, where
a film school is contemplated, Har
vard is going on with her series of
lectures in the business school on the
Motion Picture Industry.
On March 15 Will Hays ex-politi-
cian, now president of the Motion Pic
ture Products and Distributors of
America—in the headlines, “film
czar”—discussed problems and poli
cies of the film industry at Harvard’s
Business School.
The topic of censorship was, of
course, touched upon by the Lecturer,
Mr. Hays. “There has become pre
valent a certain type of book and
play that deals in theme and situa
tion with certain topics which in pre
vious years were discussed only in
whispers,” he said.
“We are determined that this pre
valent type of book and play should
not become the prevalent type of mo
tion pictures, and to prevent this set
up ‘the formula’ ”
The “formula,” it was disclosed, was
this: Whenever a questionable book
is offered a company it is referred to
Mr. Hays’ organization, which repre
sents 85 per cent of the producing ele
ment. If the subject matter is de
creed “inadvisable” all member com
panies are notified, in order that-they
may have an, opportunity to “avoid”
picturization of the play.
When harder quizzes are given,
Pro. Faires will give them. Ask the
man who bones one.
He didn’t hear the bell;
The engine went to Halifax,—
Oh, I know where you thought Wil
lie went, but he didn’t.
Because he was on the other track.
“Oh Muse! I know it’s useless to be
sure
To call on you to aid me lure
The flights of pretty fancy to my pen
Or some instructive thought for men.
But if you will so condescend
And my trite lines your powers lend
I’ll write and write and write and
write
From morn to night, in candle light.
Of what? Don’t ask! ’Tis you should
know
The subject and the thought, so blow
The seeds of truth and verse my way.
And I’ll proceed to paw and bray.
Two thousand men both strong and
bold
Marched down to fight: for what? not
gold
A principal of honor, or so ’twas call
ed
Forsooth they sure were riled and
galled.
In neat array they marched to death
On into line, squads right and left
With shining faces neatly shaven
On which the sternest purpose gra
ven
To win or die. Each hero knew
That win he must or ever rue
Defeat beneath a flowered grave.
The battle starts and to the brave
The largest share. For they were first
Now teeth are gnashed and weapons
cursed
For sturdy blades are bent or broke
The battle thickens, heroes choke
The noise is deafening. Sloppy sounds
Of strangling. Don’t give ground
The leaders shout. A moments doubt
Then all is over. They’ve put to route
Old Sbisa’s hash. The battles won
And meal-hounds do what’s left un
done
Stay in and chew and cut and stab
And reach and clutch and cuss and
grab
For if you’re strong the end will be
That doubtful thing called victory.

STUDENT OPINION *

Last Sunday in chapel (I had not
been to chapel for some time) I no
ticed an odd condition. All the boys
on the lower floor of Guion Hall kept
their uniforms fastened and at least
faced the front while the speaker was
talking. Not so in all of the balconies,
both rear and sides. Up there, the
majority of the boys shed their blous
es entirely or flapped them open,
showing those conspicuous white
shirts. Surely there is a cooler breeze
in the balconies than on the ground
floor. That is not all. They sat in scat
tered twos and groups all over the
seating space. They slouched indolent
ly in their seats, reading a newspaper
openly on the front row or else took
as comfortable a position as possible
and composed themselves for a quiet
nap.
In simple respect, for common de
cency, for modest politeness, that is
no way to regard the speaker. It would
be a good plan if the organizations
occupying the balconies were seated
in definite groups along several front
rows along both the sides and back
of the balconies. Then the boys should
simply have the self consciousness to
keep their clothes on the same as
those on the lower floor now do.
“Some feat” remarked the skipper
as “Suitcase” Tibbals leaped on the
Toonerville.
