in school has an equal chance with
the largest to have the honor of edit
ing a special edition of the Battalion.
Company D, Infantry, won that hon
or last year. Battery B won the two
previous years. Both organizajtiofris
are out for another win but there is
splendid opposition from other com
panies.
If every man works with his top
kick he can help put his company on
top. Send your girl, sister ,or mother
a birthday present that will last. Or
if she has no birthday soon, send a
subscription to the “Bat” as an early
Christmas present. But remember to
subscribe now, as this is the last week
of the contest.

Why build more dormitories ? 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.

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?
