knows that his job must be retained and because the employer is ever in the
background. But it is a different proposition with the colleg’e student. He
must manag’e the fascinating game of being both the workman and the fore
man. There is no traditional overseer, with the whip that would goad the
lagging one onward. And it is this quality of college work that makes it
differ from the secondary, schools, where ample guidance is furnished the
person who knows not the ways of governing his own affairs. If the college
man would note his brother, the industrial worker, and place his work on a
substantial basis, such as the 48-hour working week, he would have no fears
concerning the ultimate success of his college work.—Sul Ross Skyline.

PILFERERS AND FILCHING
Sometimes we wonder just what kind of so-called men we have in this
college. Our first thoughts are that we have a large group of boys, some of
the finest in the land, collected here for the purpose of preparing themselves
to be men who can go out and mix and mingle with the race and file of life,
and men who can make a name for themselves and win the respect of their
fellow countrymen.
We are thankful that by far the majority are here for that purpose and
are actually preparing themselves, but occasionally something turns up that
makes things dark for the whole group. Such things, as I am about to men
tion, really are not articles for publication and hardly should be brought to
the attention of the whole group but it sometimes does good to let us know
just a few of the things that are taking place around us. The individual or
individuals will suffer thrice fold for their acts without the punishment of
those with higher ideals and it is my only hope that those guilty of such acts
will realize just what they have done.
In the Daily Bulletin the other morning, the following notice was brought
to our attention: “Will the man who removed money from my desk please
return same as this was a collection for a floral wreath from the Cavalry for
Eddins, who died recently.” Men, this notice speaks for itself. Surely no
one would have taken it if they had known what it was to be used for, but the
principle is the same no matter what the purpose might have been. Let us
cooperate and cull from our number those very few that continue to indulge
in such practices as these.

FRIENDS
Friends to an Aggie means real friends. When a man has befriended an
Aggie, that man has made a friend that will stick with him thru thick and
thin, not a friend that will quit him when he needs him most. As a rule an
Aggie is easy to make friends with, being ready to start a conversation with
any one he comes into contact with; therefore he has :iiany friends, seme turn
out good, others not so good, but when a man does something to gain the un
dying friendship of an Aggie, that man has made a friend. Recently I came
into contact with a friend, this friend was the manager of one of the largest,
most beautiful, best equipped, and best handled hotels in a Texas city. Upon
talking with him I found him to be a friend of Aggieland, he has a warm spot
in his heart for our school, in fact he has visited here just once yet he saw
one of our needs, a radio, he did not hesitate long, only long enough to wire
to his city and order one. Why did he do this, why does he treat our men so
warm when they visit his hotel, to gain more business from the cadets?
Perhaps, but I doubt it, he does this because he is a friend to A. & M. A.
& M. has won him, he is interested in our welfare, our pleasure, and when
he does this he has made a friend of all A. & M. men. His name, well whats
in a name? Just visit the Adolphus Hotel when in Dallas and you will meet
him, and experience the same feeling of satisfaction that I did when I first
met him and had dealings with him. This man is a friend of ours, treat him
as such.

him, slight resistance at first, enough
resistance to make the goal seem
worthy of attainment, and then she
slid up against him, rested her head
beneath his chin and flattened her
nose against his rough coat. Oh the
warm presence of her, the intoxicat
ing closeness, the perfume of her
dark hair was intoxicating him, it
was indeed a Pyrean spring and he
buried his face in her ebon locks for
a monment content.
He kissed her little pink ear, he
kissed her smooth neck, and then like
a swan on a lake of milk he pressed
his face against her voluptuous
shoulder.
So close they stood, they seemed
scarcely to breathe, time seemed to
stop a moment.... now their breath
ing quickens. As she leaned back and
looked up at him his very soul seem
ed to be on fire with desire, he kissed
her white neck again and again and
now she as fervidly returned his
kisses, they seemed like two molten
streams of metal pouring together,
like two throbbing waves clasped in a
twisting embrace.
With a sigh she settled limply
against him and. . ..
And right here was where another
took the book away from him and now
he’ll always wonder!!!!!

College, it has been suggested, is an institution wherein the student is
employer and employee at the same time. In contrast, the college goer daily
sees the industrial worker wend his way to his task, because that worker
realizes that there are a certain set number of laborious hours before him.
The industrial world is ever on a formal basis of working time. The manual
laborer, in all probability, endures those stipulated hours of labor because he
