THE BATTALION

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.

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.

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.

and peasant for two hundred years.
Critics of the leading American
cities pronounce it as the superior
entertainment of years in music,
wit, humor and the humaneness that
John Gay originally put into the
