THE BATTALION 7 TORO (Continued from Page 6) And when he fails to get one risks life and limb climbing up the window sills to break in the glass allow ing the air to get in and give the fire a chance. On the other hand we have that individual, the helpless man who goes about wringing his hands or carrying an empty bucket, getting in everybody’s way and won dering if the building is insured. He gets tripped up by the hose and knocked about in general. And cer tainly we can’t leave out the man who saw it start or who turned in the alarm. “How he just felt”—and so on condemning his soul to hell with a vivid account of his actions upon discovering the fire. About forty of this type are present so no one believes them. Another interesting group is that which gathers in little bunches across the street or remains in the cars and runs down everyone present, taking very little interest in the fire, but putting out much gossip. That is the women. The world at its worse. The women as they are. How ever the men don’t have time to no tice them but must bravely get cin ders down their necks or water in their shoes by battling the flames and making sure nothing gets out of the burning building in good con dition. But you can bet that the feminine group is talking up the “They says” in a big manner. ❖ * * Flag pole climbing was at its heights the other day, and it turned out to be not so high. It seems as if, —but the less said the better. I really didn’t know that anything was wrong with A. and M. until I saw the flag. I must start keeping up with the way the school is. “We want it the way it used to be” has anything to do with light wine and beer I’m for it, otherwise I couldn’t sympathize with the movement the prohibitionists are probably back of it. s{c * Shaw says that “Nature abhoring a vacuum applies to the human head.” So now you know. I’m afraid that Nature abhors and abhors and abhors. Let us pray for a dry Thanks giving and a wet Christmas. Debating- (Continued from Page 1) gaining strength and one can easily foretell that their accomplishments in the coming season will greatly ex ceed. Two years ago a triangular con tract was carried into effect with T. C. U. and S. M. U. Besides the teams from these two institutions, our team has debated during these two years with the Kansas Aggies, California University, Arkansas Uni versity, Louisiana State University, Trinity University, and Howard Pay ne College. The dates for the dif ferent matches to be held this com ing season have not been set yet but our team is sure to debate with T. C. U., S. M. U., Howard Payne College, Oklahoma University and . ...Er.... (I am choking) C. I. A. This last one will be held in Den ton and the Cadets are sure to miss something by not hearing it. Two of the questions to be debated are: first, Resolved that in a democracy the cabinet form of government is preferable to the Presidential form; second, Resolved that a jury com posed of 5 or 7 scientifically trained men should be substituted for the present jury system. Our team may debate either side of each question. The team this year is composed of Leslie, Talbot, Moore, Pearson, Clut ter, Carnahan and Jones. With the exception of Leslie and Tabbot the rest of the members have not had any experience here, but promise to be good material. This makes Leslie’s third year and therefore many hopes are based on him, while Tabbot, who has had one year ex perience, will help him. Mr. Spriggs is vitally interested and would like to see more students try for a place in the team. LETTER FROM DALLAS POLICE Col. Chas. J. Nelson, A. and M. College of Texas, College Station, Texas.
