MAKE LOANS
McQuillen Secretary of Organization

Well-known to all of the old men
-and part of those of the class of
’33 is the A. and M. Ex-Students
Association, accepting additions to
the loan fund, distributing it without
favoritism to those whose funds are
insufficient, and collecting these
loans with a small additional sum
as interest year in and year out,
until we find them helping the edu
cational cause in general and indi
vidual learning in particular nearly
$100,000.00 during the 1928-29 ses
sions.
This amount is kept as a perman
ent loan fund with additions being
made to it through periodical dona
tions by individuals, largely former
students, by A. and M. Clubs, by A.
and M. Mothers Clubs, and by indus
trial and manufacturing concerns,
who with a far-sighted view of in
vestment, have adopted various
schemes for assisting the Former
Students with substantial financial
aid. Two of the assisting companies
have the plan of giving $100.00 to
The Fund every time that particular
company employs a Texas A. & M.
man one company has loaned the
Ex-Students Association $25,000.00,
the interest on which will be sent to
that company annually, as paid by

sub-loaners, until the $25,000.00 is
repaid—the original $25,000.00 is then
a permanent fixture in the Fund.
The available financial aid was thus
increased some $5,523.00 from 13
separate sources of one or other of
the above kind during the 1927-28
and the 1928-29 sessions.
The knowledge and appreciation of
the Fund is shown by the fact that
at the beginning of every new term,
the entire lot available is swept up
with eager hands: sometimes it is
hardly large enough to supply the
demand.
More capable and influential men
than W. W. Sterling, President; A.
K. Short, Vice-President; E. E. Mc
Quillen, Eexecutive Secretary; and
L. B. Locke, Assistant Secretary,
could not be acquired should a change
be wanted: a chat with any of them
will prove their good fellowship,
and a check on the financial growth
and status will convince you of their
capabilities for their respective jobs:
Loan total for 1928-29 ses
sion $ 94,481.93
* Number of loans for IP months pre
ceding the 1928-29 session 1,412.00
Average for 12 months previous to
1928-29 (according to audi
tor) 1,059.00
Number of loans for 1928-29
sessions 1,113
Increase in no. of loans 5.1%
*Fiscal year changed during this
period to April 1st., and due to this
the total for year preceding 1928-
29 could not be accurately deter
mined.
Those who have work with the
College and are accommodated by
the Ex-Students aid are relieved from
all the trouble of money transferring
through an arrangement whereby
their wages go direct from the fiscal
department of the College to the
Executive Secretary of the Ex-Stu-
dents Association.
The Ex-Students Association is
maintained through membership of
Ex-Students and the excess profits
of the Campus Cleaners. Only a few
inconsiderates will have tailoring
done elsewhere when the individuals,
themselves, have a loan from the
Association.

fees and eligibility blanks .must be
turned into the intramural office
not later than one week before the
first game is played.
For the first time an adequate
number of sophomores have been ap
proved for Sophomore try-outs,
eighty having been signed. This is
the largest number ever to try out
and this one fact points to a very;
successful season. The department’s
managers have been chosen and
their names are repeated for the
benefit of the organization managers
and intramural players: Paul Dresser
is senior manager and V. O. Fritze
and ‘’Loggie” Lodsdon, Junior man
agers.
Tennis competition will begin Octo
ber 14th and Speedball October 21..
Managers are requested to begin
getting up teams in these sports now.
Speedballs may be checked out at
the Intramural office at any time.
