FISCAL DEPARTMENT ABOUT TO
REVOKE CHECK PRIVILEGE
Over 1,500 Checks Given Daily
Through Department
There is very little possibility that
many of the students know the ser
vice the Fiscal Department is render
ing day after day to the boys here.
Their money is handled without
charge and it is comparatively easy
to get any kind of accomodation on
checks, not that they are lax about
their rules but that they realize the
necessity of the students in using
checks. They might be taking chances,
as it sometimes proves but they are
willing to trust the boys and handle
any amount of checks for them.
The first two weeks of school there
were over 2000 checks given each day
and now there are still about 1500
checks a day coming in. This is a
’‘matter of great concern to the De
partment because, due to a limited
budget, they are only allowed two
men to handle the checking system
and it requires at least three men to
^handle that many checks. Of course
it is very convenient and sometimes
necessary for the student to give a
check of small denomination but by
giving a check for enough to run him
a week instead of a small check each
day or two he can help the Fiscal
Department and lessen their labors.
He will also be able to keep a more
accurate check on his account and not
overcheck and be the cause of some
twenty-five notices sent out each day
for overchecking. This is a source
of constant worry to the boys and to
the Department because it takes their
time in showing the boy where his
account has really been overdrawn,
due either to carelessness on his part
or possibly to an error on the part of
the employees, and it also hinders the
Cashier from rendering the service to
the people who are having to wait
while that business is being straight
ened out.
The Fiscal Department reserves the
right, and has received orders to do
so, to limit checking privileges as it
sees fit. The possibilities are that the
privilege will be limited to one check
a week for each student unless the
checks stop coming in so fast. In a
way this will work a hardship on
some of the boys but it must be done
in order to protect the Department.
Mr. Holzmann, Comptroller of Ac
counts, has expressed the hope that
these regulations will not have to be
enforced but a decided change must
immediately take place if checking
privileges are to continue.

Railroad Fares Announced to College
Station
The University Club of Fort Worth
is arranging plans for a special train
to be run to Aggieland on Thanksgiv
ing day to see the annual clash be
tween the Texas Aggies and the
Longhorns. It is expected that sev
eral hundred fans will make the trip
to College Station including ex-stu
dents of the two schools and football
fans of the city.
The train will leave Fort Worth
over the Missouri Pacific lines at 7:30
a. m. Thanksgiving Day, arriving at
College Station an hour and a half be
fore the game, which begins at 2:30
p. m. This will give visitors ample
time to orient themselves and pre
pare for the game. The return trip
: will start at 6 p. m. and arrive at
Ft. Worth at 11:30 p. m.
Robert Watson, division passenger
agent for the Missouri Pacific, an
nounced that the round trip ticket for
chair cars will be $5.20. For Pull
mans the round trip fare will be $7.65
-and the Pullman charge one way will
be $1.50.
The ticket selling for $7.65 is also
good on trains leaving College Station
before midnight on Saturday after the
game on Thursday. This will give
fans an opportunity to remain for all
of the dances to be held in College
Station during the holidays.
ANOTHER SAY BO!
Say Bo didja
Get all shined up
For that Corps Trip
And didja sally forth
To Cow Town to
Show the fair city
What distinguished cadets
Came from Aggieland to
Grace the streets of
Fort Worth for the parade
Didja do your bit to
Display the results of
Your training received as
A Cadet at A. & M.
Then having proved your ability
Didja go over
To the Texas Hotel lobby
And proudly wait to
Meet that sweet thing
With an air of importance
And in the meantime
Have a curious bystander
Come up to you and
Ask you if you were
The Commandant of A and M ?
Didja ?
Lt. Carl Mitchell of Monty’s
Mounted did!
He was as one spellbound by the
magic of her loveliness. The tender
charm of her utterly enthralled him,
causing time to pass unheeded as his
eyes feasted upon her beauty. A
silence rested upon him as he toyed
with tender, half-dreamed thoughts
of her and his whole being thrilled to
her nearness. He was completely
captivated, happy in an abject wor
ship of her winsome grace. Her com
pleteness dazed him, dregged his sen
ses with the heaviness of desire for
her. He was as a man in a dream.
He didn’t even know when she took
his watch.
