So some of the cadets can get the valu able experience of living in a house. Why did I come to college ? No one will ever know. A. & M. LIVESTOCK. (Continued from Page 1) at the El Paso expositions last spring. One heifer being shown was the junior champion at the exposition in Fort Worth last spring.

Mackey, associate professor of animal husbandry will coach these students. WHY— Some one is always asking why this and why that . . well here is an attempt to answer a few of those very pertinent whys. Why must ev ery one go reg? The seniors are the only ones on the campus allowed to wear leather so the rest are forced to go reg to cover up their leather necks; and army officers are gentle men, so you must become accustomed to covering up that manly growth of hair on arms and chest for no “gentle man” wears them, of course you know “she” does not. Why are “fish” the goats for every one ? They haven’t been here long enough to get used to the shower baths. Why can’t sleeping be done in class ? Because the iron cots are sup posed to be better for that purpose. Why, do we have a hospital? To frighten bad boys from eating green apples. What’s alive about Bryan ? The ca dets are when they first get there. What is genetics ? A study of the ancestrage of the mess hall beef, also known as geology. Where are the Brazos County coal mines ? At the laundry. Where is the laundry? There isn’t any. What is English ? Stuff put on billiard balls in the Y basement. What is military science ? The proper manner to use the knife and fork. Are girls foolish? Only about a uniform. Why do cadets go wrong ? Because their instructors went right. Now girls were made for loving And if you miss your share, Some one will take it for you Nor ask you when or where. For love is a passing fancy Believe it or not it’s so. It can’t be saved like money When it comes right then it must go. As to finding an ideal flapper Why they all think they are that. And so will you for a moment, But will you when she’s fat? So meet ’em, love ’em and leave ’em Even marry them if they’re rich, For love ... is only hearts racing, And slow ones are pushed in the ditch. True love sounds great as: an idea, You may say long marriages prove it. But it’s only convenient habit Of souls too tired to remove it. We have one deity to honor, Omnipotent, wise, and just. Why worship a slip of a girlie For sake of animal lust? j* ♦j* *»■<■ ■►k 4* *** & ’■** EAT A BURGER AT * DAD COLE’S * When You Are Hungry * l* Between Leggett and Bat- i* Roost Halls »$* >> ♦j* :*]iimiiiiiii[]iiiiiiiiiiiiE]iiiiiiiiHiiuiiiiiiiiiiiic3iiiiiiiiiiii«iiiiiiiiii<; I $ 4.50 O.
