We admire them and we hope that we will not be disappointed this year. They have a great opportunity now, and a wealth of raw mater ial with » hich to work, and there should be no regrets when the proofs are read. SOUTHWEST JOURNALISM CONGRESS MEET For the betterment of journalism in the southwest, both in college work and in the profession later on, the journalism congress meets an nually at some selected school or university to spread its principles among representative students. The conference itself is only three years old, but last year at its second meeting, held at C. I. A., there was an attendance of approximately two hundred. This year the meet will be at Texas Chris tian University and delegates from Oklahoma and Louisiana will be pres ent. This extends the field of the congress as only Texas schools have been represented before. The ideals upon which this congress is built are those desiring to fos ter a clearer coordination and to provide by this a clearer conception of what the southwest hopes for in better journalism. These ideals are those which should be foremost in any institution or study today, and especially so in the newspaper world where the stated purpose is serving the public truthfully, swiftly, and without prejudice. —Lasso.

OVER THE EXCHANGE STORE A CHANGE We have been mightily enheartened by the apparent change of atti tude shown by the Corps toward campus problems. Last year this attitude was best described as a tolerant indifference toward almost everything, but something has happened beyond our ken, and now even debates are attended by fair-sized crowds. We are not sure that attending debates makes for any great cultural gain, but at any rate it tends to show that the Corps can be interested in problems other than those of the gastran- omical variety, and this is something. Then too, there was the hat versus cap ballot—casting of some weeks ago, which was a great success in that most of us voted, and all of us talked about the question. We talked about it too, and were duely rebuked by several letters, some of which we printed, and some of which were not worthy of printing. It may be the intoxication of Spring, and the madness produced by March winds, but it looks as though something is really happening. THE SENIOR RING Keeping in mind the idea of standardization of the ring as well as the usual considerations of quality and price, the ring committee of the Junior class has after several weeks of careful investigation and delibera tion awarded the contract for the manufacture of the senior ring for 1931. Further efforts toward standardization and placing the ring on the footing it should have must be made by members of the class, for the work of the committee has been accomplished. That the committee func tioned unusually well is evidenced by the fact that every company making a bid complimented members- of the committee upon their business like way of handling the matter. Members of the class are now urged to keep faith with the committee, their representatives, by placing their orders for rings with no one but the company authorized to handle the sale. In no other way can sale of the rings be restricted to members of the class and in no other way can the ring hold any measure of standardization. THE FISH BAT It is about time for the Freshmen lo bestir themselves and bring out their annual paper. Fish journalists are in demand and this is a chance for any blushing genius of the class of ’33 who has been hiding his literary light under a bushel to spring into the limelight. The sophs are particu larly obnoxious this year, and the lampooning of these sophisticated persons should provide interesting sport for those who will be sophomores next year. The special editions of the Bat are always awaited with pleasure by Aggieland, and the Fish Bat is usually the best of these. Last year it was very good and there is no reason why it should not be bigger and better this spring. The Fish are held to such extremely narrow limits here that, when they do get a chance to express themselves, they do it well, and we, who usually scorn, are forced to applaud and praise. **********>< *****4********************-****++*+******** UNIFORM TAILOR SHOP TAILOR-MADE SHIRTS, BREECHES, BLOUSES AND SLACKS Mendl & Hornak, Props. -¥■ -¥■ -¥■ -¥■ -¥■ -¥• -4 -¥■ -¥- -4 -¥■ * * *->c-fc-fc *-k * * * * *+-k *+-fc-k * * * * * * * * * * * * * *-k * * *-k-k-k-k+*-k * * * *-► * *** ■ *** *** *5* *+* *1* *§* *** ^ ^ *+* *1* *♦* *+* *** *V* *'+* %■* **■* *v* *** V* ^ *•* N* *** V* *+* *** ^ '*♦* N* *** ^ ^ *♦'* *+* *** JCPENNEY CO Aywon Shaving Needs "Aywon” shaving needs are noted for their fine qualities.
