2 THE BATTALION You’ll like PA- and how! OPEN a tidy red tin of Prince Albert and give your olfactory nerve a treat. Never have you met an aroma that had so much come-and-get-it. Some fragrance, Fellows. And that’s just a starter. Load up and light up. ... Cool as final exams. Sweet as passing. Mild as cafe au lait — mild, but with that rich, full- bodied flavor that bangs your smoke-gong right on the nose on every fire-up. You’ll like this long- burning Prince Albert in the bowl of a pipe. And howl One of the first things you notice about P. A. is that it never bites your tongue or parches your throat, no matter how wide you open the smoke-throttle. It is one tobacco that never wears out its welcome. You can stoke and smoke to your heart’s content, with P. A. for packing. Get some Prince Albert now and get going! P. A. is sold every- where in tidy red tins, pound and half-pound tin humidor s, and pound cry stat - glass humidors with sponge- moistener top. And always with every bit of bite and parch re moved by the Prince Albert process. Fringe albert —the national joy smokel © 1927, R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, Winston-Salem, N. C. SOPHOMORE CLASS ELECTS OFFICERS Connover Proves to be Active in Class Affairs as Well as Athletics The Sophomore Class held its first meeting of the year Wednesday after dinner. A fairly representative crowd was present in the chapel for a short business meeting. Officers were cho sen during a short but lively and in teresting election. Brooks Conover, Dallas, was elected President; T. W. Mills, Groesbeck, elected Vice-Presi dent; J. E. Brown, Alvord, elected Sec.-Treas.; F. E. Kavanaugh, Port Arthur, was elected class historian. Conover belongs to “C” Troop Cav alry, Mills to “A” Company Infantry, Brown to Company B Signal Corps, and Kavanaugh to Air Corps. All of the officers are well known; three of them being varsity football men. With capable leaders the sophomore class is looking forward to a splendid record for this year. AUTOMOBILES BANNED AT MANY INSTITUTIONS New York, Oct. 26 (New Student Service.)—With rush week at an end, student automobiles in many colleges are taking their cars home, and by deans’ orders leaving them there. As a topic for discussion in college press and, evidently in chapel and fraternity house, the ever growing stringency of anti-automobile rules, designed to remove at least one obstacle in the way of serious study. University of Oklahoma, DePauw, University of Illinois, Princeton, Wesleyan, Ursinus, Dartmouth and Michigan are among the drive-at-the- risk-of-expulsion institutions. Ex ceptions are made in some cases where cars are needed for business pur poses. Princeton, with perhaps the sever est rules, grants the use of automo biles to disabled students only. These favored drivers are forbidden, how ever, from permitting other students to use their automobiles or to ride with them. It was these rules that resulted in the resignation of the student council last year. Son: “Say Pop, what are spec tacles?” Pop: “Spectacles, my son, are glasses which people look through.” Son: “If you looked through the window would you call it a spectacle?” Pop: “It all depends on what you saw.” WEEK’S NEWS As announced in last week’s “Bat,” the A. and M.

STEER BRINGS $1 LB. AT K. C. SHOW Kansas City, Nov. 18.—“Bonnie Anxiety 10th,” champion purebred steer owned by the Texas A. & M. College brought $1 a pound on the hoof when sold at auction Friday at the American Royal Livestock and Horse Show here. Our noted friend and football cap tain, Mr. Joel Hunt of Waco, seems to be quite in the limelight in society circles of late. After the game Thurs day, the Dallas Club presented the team with a hugh fruit cake, and he was given the honor of cutting the first slice. After leading the Thanks giving Grand March, he proceeded to Temple Friday, and was called upon to address the Bell County A. and M. Club at its monthly banquet. He paid great tribute to Coach Bible, and urg ed that the right kind of young men be encouraged to come to Aggieland in order that future athletics here will have the best of material for sel ections. We have solved the mystery of the airplane that was conspicuous here on Thanksgiving day, and have found that the staff of the Dallas News used one for the quick transportation of pictures of the Texas-A. and M. game to Dallas. The pictures were made at the game by one of the pa per’s photographers and the exposed (Continued on Page 6)
