THE BATTALION
3
UNIFORM CHANGES
Official announcement has been
made of the changes in uniform for
the coming year. The foremost change
is the substitution of leather leggins
for the olive drab canvas leggins
reinforced with leather. However,
until the present supply of the latter
is exhausted both will be worn, not
withstanding the fact that students
will be required to have at least 1 pr.
of regulation leather leggins to be
worn uniformly on special occasions
that will arise from time to time.
Freshmen should by all means
read uniform regulations thoroughly
before attempting to buy any sec
ond-hand clothes. Proper warning
has been issued so that it will be
their own misfortune if they do not
obtain the proper articles of uniform.
Students will not be permitted to
wear light-colored serge shirts; these
must be olive drab, and must com
ply with regulations in color and
quality. Head gear must be worn to
and from the classroom.
Most tailors are willing to coop
erate with the college authorities m
matters concerning the sale of regula
tion equipment. They will be glad
to inform the students what is and
what is not prescribed as regulation.
For the benefit of the students it
would be wise for each to exercise
his own judgment and to listen to
the merchant’s advice.
FOUNDATION FOR NEW
LIBRARY COMPLETED
One of the most modern and bet
ter equipped libraries in the South
west will be the pride of A. and M.
College this coming year. Every ef
fort of mind has been put forth to
model it, in such a manner, as to
make it suitable to the taste of those
funny individuals who are seekers
of knowledge and truth. A collection
of pictures has been obtained in New
York by Mr. Mayo to ornament the
interior besides some special furni
ture and drapery.
It is indeed a fact to be regretted
that Governor Moody could not agree
with the Legislature on passing suf
ficient appropriations for the Col
lege. The library gets only $5,000 a
year to buy books, periodicals, fix
tures, etc., an amount very limited
if we take into consideration the
new books that are needed in the
library.
The new library is being built
through an appropriation of $225,000
besides $25,000 for fixtures. It will
have a capacity for 300,000 volumes,
which is five or six times greater
than the amount in the present ii-
brary; and from four to five per
sons can be given accomodation at a
time. Mr. Orth, an ex-student of
this institution, is engineer for the
college and Mr. Mayo with the co
operation of Mr. Vosper, Mr. Fin
ney and Mr. Norton, all three of the
Architectural Department will design
the ornamentation.

My Dearest Who:
To all the darlings in C. I. A.
Well, Babies, I’m sending you my
picture to give you an inspiration
of an ideal and a GOOD LOOKING
MAN. First I will give you some idea
or a slight description about my
self. I am a color sergeant (not a
colored sergeant). I’m in the field
artillery, a junior and a pretty dog
gone good-looking babe. I sure would
like to write to a pretty honey. If
you are anyone want to write to a
hot papa, just address it to:
Color Sergeant Frank A. Shep-
ardson, Field Artillery Battalion
D. O. L.—A. W. O. L., College
Station, Texas, U. S. A.
Box 555
Note: This letter was mailed to
the author’s corresponding address
at C. I. A. The failure of the ad
dressee to claim it, the epistle was
forwarded to the dead letter office
at Chicago. It was returned to the
author, who now awaits the congrat
ulations and praise of his fellow-
men and will take great pride in
displaying it to anyone interested.
Incidentally, there was a picture of
this illustrous gentleman included in
the message. Because of the outstand
ing grammatical and rhetorical er
rors apparent in it, we suggest that
he take a course in English under
Mr. Morgan.
