IXB BA1HALI0N $ BRUTUS HAD HIS CAESAR! Rumor has is that Anthony threw himself on a rusty sword when his letters to Cleopatra were read to less loving ears and Brutus did not stab Caesar but that he died of mortifi cation after his second wife gave his love letters to his first wife to the press. The following excerpt from a North Texas newspaper is from an bid Aggie to his father and thence to the eager public. It is a good example of the kind of letters that men pay money to get back, but alas, some men will not sell! Moral: As Aesop said some time ago; “Beware lest thy private thoughts be made public and make of thy self an ass.” The iteresting part of the letter follows;..“... .As Chairman of the Senior Invitation committee, I have to take care of an order of some 3,000 invitations, worth $.50 each, by April 1st; as Managing Editor of the Battalion I must write the ma jority of the editorials and part of the news and feature stories for that gdorious sheet, read copy, and do numerous other incidental tasks, As Royal Utopian Scribe of the Royal and Ancient Order of One Button- eers I must write a constitution and history of that glorious order; as editor-in-chief of the special F Co. Battalion, to be published in the mid dle of April, I have numerous little duties to perform, as editor of tlie Library Page, I must needs uphold the standard of the campus Literati from week to week; as Secretary of the Fortnightly Club, I send out no tices and solicit speakers for our meetings, as a member of the Cam pus Players I must spend some time on plays, both in production and writing; as a member of the Student Publications board I have numerous meetings to attend, and should like to go to Denton the first week-end of next month to the Intercollegiate Press meet. Now, on the side, I have a few courses to worry about, some classes to attend and some studying to do, a few theses to write, along\ with,' such incidental writing as may come up from time to time.” By way of editorial comment, the editor of the above North Texas newspaper, makes the following re marks;.. “And to think that a boy has to do all of that in college now adays to get one little A. B. degree! Times have certainly changed, and it seems to the Boss mat the rewards should be increased commensurate with the effort required. The Boss feels that at least two more degrees should be given this young hopeful, and we suggest E. Z. Y. and A. S. S.” BRICK WORK STARTED ON CHEM. BUILDING (Continued from Page 1) be undertaken as soon as possible, Dr. Hedges added. The bill for the appropriation of funds for the construction of the main part of the new structure will come up before the legislature next month at the special session of that body. Although $300,000 was re quested for this work, the State Boax-d of control saw fit to change this figure to $200,000, and that last is the amount now to be asked. The “emergency” building now under construction will be used for the laboratories only, and unless the appropriation is granted and work begun immediately, offices of the Chemistry Department will have to be located elsewhere when the old edifice is demolished. The wing is being financed by grouping of sev eral available college funds. Part of the new library building to be raised this summer will rest on the site of the old chemistry building, it has been announced, and when the deed is accomplished, an old and tried and true landmark will have passed forever from the campus of Aggieland—an old land mark that has been viewed with awe, respect and hate alike by gen eration after generation of “Fish BBBM—BMBE8S Delicious and Refreshing pA\mE A\m whoa/ HOLD EVERYTHING.
