THE BATTALION
T. C. U.-S. M. U. ISSUE
COMBINATION PAPER
A copy of the Skiff-Campus has
been received by The Battalion from
T. C. U. This paper was a joint
edition of the official publications ox
T. C. U. and S. M. U. just before the
'jl hanksg'iving game. It was the first
paper of its kind that has been seen
in uoiiege publication circles. The
purpose of the paper was to “bring -
aoout a closer friendship between the
two student bodies and put sports
manship on the high plane which it
belongs.” We are glad to receive
such uncommon exchanges and are
sure that the publication deserves
more credit than it will get, which
cannot be any too much at all. If
this has brought about any greater
feeling of friendship between the two
schools then their efforts have not
been in vain. They are to be com
mended on their splendid paper.
Y. M. C. A. STARTS MEMBERSHIP
DRIVE
With the purpose of organizing the
local branch of the Y. M. C. A. as
required by the National Y. M. C. A.
Constitution, Mr. M. L. Cushion, Sec
retary of the local branch has started
a membership drive this last week.
The National Constitution states that
'the Y. Cabinet should be elected by
members of the local organization.
Up to this time there has been no
active membership so the Cabinet was
appointed to serve the necessity. It
is the object of Mr. Cashion to orga
nize an active membership so the Y
can function as it should; not only to
help students but for students to help
themselves and others. Membership
cards will be issued to all active mem
bers. These cards will be recognized
throughout the country and Y privi
leges will be allowed the holder.
A SQUARE DEAL FOR A. & M.
ON TIME
Is not the A. & M. College- located
in Brazos County, a legal and Con
stitutional “JOINT HEIR” to the
University of Texas ?
Do*es not the Constitution of Texas
specify in Section 13 of Article 7 that
the A. & M. College is a Constitu
tional branch of the University ?
There is not a doubt in my mind
but what our forefathers who wrote
the Constitution of Texas meant what
they said when they wrote Section 13
of Article 7 in which they stated that
the A. & M. College, located in the
County of Brazos “IS HEREBY
MADE AND CONSTITUTED A
BRANCH OF THE UNIVERSITY
OF TEXAS,” etc.
If this interpretation of Section 13
is correct, if the A. & M. is designat
ed in our State Constitution as a
“JOINT HEIR” with the University,
then it appears to me that the A. &
M. College is legally and constitu
tionally entitled to one-half of the
University lands located in West
Texas and entitled to one-half of the
$7,000,000.00 derived from leases, oil
royalties, etc., that is now held in the
University fund.
I AM INFORMED THAT THE A.
& M. COLLEGE HAS NEVER RE
CEIVED ONE DOLLAR OF IT.
The A. & M. is turning out scores
of graduates who are real “HE” men;
men of calibre; men of real value to
Texas as Farm Demonstrating
Agents, City Managers, Engineers,
etc.
I doff my hat to the A. & M. Col
lege—We are with you.
All that I am asking is for a
“SQUARE DEAL” for the A. & M.
College, as intended by our forefath
ers, the grand old men who wrote the
Constitution of Texas, as outlined in
Section 13 of article 7 of our Con
stitution.

“I beat the Austrians because they
did not know the value of five
minutes,” said Napoleon. Beat them,
yes—but he did not kill them all off.
Their descendants are with us in
multitudes—the men and women who
are never quite on time for appoint
ments, who have to run for every
train, who are perfectly willing for
someone else to open up the office in
the morning.
Another celebrity, Lord Nelson,
said: “I owe all my success in life to
having been a quarter of an hour be
fore my time.”
Lord Nelson retained his advant
age.
Time is money. That is an estab
lished truism, hoary with the dignity
of whiskers—but it is a truism, never
theless. One person’s time may be
worth more than that of another. J.
P. Morgan figured his time was worth
$1,000 an hour, and begrudged every
waste of minutes; his callers, to con
tinue in his grace, had to give him I
his money’s worth of entertainment, I
information or ideas. Henry Ford’s!
time probably is worth more thanj
that.
The one who is chronically late or |
who is careless with his time is build
ing for himself a bad reputation. He, I
on the other hand, who respects the f
second-hand of the clock, who is |
punctual by habit, and who conserves
the fleeting moments is sure to be I
popular in business or society. He is
assuring himself freedom from re
current embarrassment and apology.
And he is laying one of the sure
foundations for a life of happiness |
and success.—Ex.
Mr. Boggs is a member of the
House of Representatives from the
39th and 40th Legislature at San

on this problem and is trying to get
justice meted out as it should be.
