Published Weekly by the Students of the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas. VOL. XXVIII BRYAN, TEXAS, MARCH 19, 1930. NO. 2d MOORE ELECTED BY JUNIOR CLASS TO EDIT LONGHORN Editor, Business Manager, and Art Editor Elected at Class Meet ing Monday. Edwin M. Moore, Houston, was elected editor-in-chief and T. K. Wa- terson, Smithville, business manager of the 1931 Longhorn at a meeting of the Junior class in the Assembly Hall Monday afternoon. James L. Keith, Beaumont, was chosen art editor. Both Moore and Watterson were unanimous choices of the class, get ting their positions without opposi tion. Moore is a color-sergeant on the Infantry Regimental Staff and Watterson, master sergeant on the Composite Regimental Staff. They were junior assistants on the Long horn staff during the past year and were recommended with Keith by members of the 1930 staff. Eugene Strieker, Waco, has been chosen by Moore as assistant editor of the 1931 annual, and is the only member of the new staff who has been appointed. It is likely that the sports editor will be the only other member selected before the opening of school next year. 46 GRADE POINTS WINS SCHOLASTIC HONORS FOR BUSHNELL FIRST TERM R. W.
