Barrett, president of the T. C. U. student body, and D. W. Carlton, representing the Fort Worth Kiwanis Club and Chamber of Commerce, came to A & M last week to arrange with representatives of the A & M student body and officials of the col lege final details of the visit of the T.

U. students and Fort Worth fans to Aggieland. “Nothing that we can do wil be left undone to make the visit to A & M of the Texas Christian University students and supporters from Fort Worth as pleasant as possible,” Pres ident T. O. Walton, told Mr. Barrett and Mr. Carlton. “The hospitality of T. C. U. and Fort Worth to A & M in the past remains very pleasantly in our minds and we hope that we may be able to return that hospitality, at least in part, on the visit here in Oct ober. Officials of the college and members of the A & M cadet corps are looking forward with great en thusiasm to the coming game and the visit of the T. C.

E. McQuil- len, secretary of the Association of Former Students. Owing to the general financial con dition of the country the demand for student loans far exceeded those of former years and many applicants were turned away before the time for registration when the funds of the association were exhausted, McQuillen said.

It was proposed that future culprits appearing before the court be allowed to bring some senior to act as a sort of defense attorney, and the right to bring witnesses to testify in their be half be permitted. A second proposed change bears di rectly on the court form. It was pro posed that a general court martial form be adopted with the technicali ties not applicable to student cases omitted. Another suggested change will give the defendant the right to ask that some certain member of the court be excused from duty with the court in order that any personal prejudices may be avoided. It was asked that summons to the court would be mailed the defendant several days in advance of his trial in order to give him time in which to organize a defense. The summons will also bear the charge for which the de fendant is to be tried. No definite changes have been de cided on by the court members and a special session of the court will be held next Tuesday night to definitely decide on the changes that are to be made. The whole scheme back of the move to alter senior court proceedings is to give the accused person every possible chance to prove his innocence, Bortle added. Request Students Cash Less Checks Because there are from 2,000 to 4,- 000 student checks passing through the Fiscal Department, W. A. Holz- man, comptroller of accounts, suggests that members of the student body to cut down on the number of checks that they write. The Fiscal Department is operating strictly to accommodate the students and with the enormous amount of checks that they have to handle, often times the entire force has to stay up until twelve and one o’clock at night, balancing the books. The state appro priates a comparatively small fee to take care of this and there are no pro fits made in the banking business of the Department. During the first four days of regis tration more than $825,000.00 was handled in the department. Each check requires approximately one min ute to be handled properly and with 2,000 coming in every day, it would re quire the full time of five men for seven hours to take care of only the student checks. “Try to make one check cover the whole day,” Mr. Holz- mann asked. There’s no expedient to which a man wil not go to avoid the labor of thinking.—Thomas A. Edison, in ventor. There Shall Be No Regrets BY CURTIS VINSON Warm beat the hearts of all thy sons, Oh Aggieland of Texas, None but the true thy banner bear, None but the staunch thy emblems wear, In war, in peace, where duty leads. High flames thy spirit in their deeds. (Chorus) In war or peace, staunch hearts we plight, Staunch hearts unwav’ring in the right, Thousands before us, Thousands to follow. Saber or plow, to the fight! To win or to lose, whatever besets. May there be none who forgets, Courage our ensign, Valor our guidon, And there shall be no regrets. Strong is the tie that makes as one Ole Army’s Texas Aggies, In fellowship, in pride of corps. In glories won by hosts of yore, Unbroken ranks to face the fight, Hail Aggies! Hail Maroon and White! ‘THERE SHALL BE NO REGRETS” TO BE TRIP SLOGAN THIRTY MEMBERS OF SQUAD, AND SMALL BAND SUP PORTERS GO FOUNDER EX-STUDENT LOAN FUND IS DEAD W. C. HOGG, ORIGINAL DONOR, DIES The recent death of Will C. Hogg, Houston millionaire and friend of ed ucation, recalled the fact that he made initial donation of $2,500 more than ten years ago that started the loan fund of the Association of Former Students of the A & M Col lege of Texas. Although an alumnus of the Uni versity of Texas and a donor of many gifts to his alma mater, most of which were made in the name of the Hogg family, Mr. Hogg by no means limited his interest in education to that institution. Yale, Harvard and other institutions were recipients of his gifts. He was especially inter ested in aiding students financially unable to make their own way through college and his gift of $2,500 for loan fund of the Association of Former Students of A & M was in spired by that interest. The loan fund has now reached a total of $55,000 and has been for years of great benefit to many stu dents in loans to enable them to complete their college work, E. E. McQuillen, secretary of the Associa tion of Former Students, has point ed out. Faculty Guests At Reception Monday An informal reception and dance given in honor of the new faculty members and their wives in the Y. M. C. A. lobby Monday night was the first of several social events planned by the faculty reception committee for the college year. The chapel of the Y. M. C. A. was converted into a reception room for the occasion, and refreshments were served here during intermissions in the dance held in the lobby proper. The Aggieland furnished the music for the occasion. Juniors Name Fix Glass President George Fix, Dallas, was elected president and Nelson Rees, also of Dallas, vice-president of the junior class at the initial meeting of the col lege year in the Assembly Hall Sat urday.

Drafting- Rooms Placed in Ross Crowded conditions in the drafting rooms of the college department of architecture have resulted in the re moval of some of the drawing rooms of that department to Ross Hall which at the present time is not occupied, an nouncements from Ernest Langford, professor of architecture, discloses.

By Frank W. Thomas Jr., Battalion Sports Editor Bearing not only the cause of Ag gieland but that of the Southwest Conference as well, thirty members of Coach Matty Bell’s Texas Aggie grid team, backed by about 300 sup porters, members of the band, a small group of students and fans of the Southwest, will entrain Thursday aft ernoon at one o’clock for Lincoln where they will engage the Nebraska Cornhuskers of Dana X. Bible in an intersectional clash in the Cornhusk- er Stadium. Flaunting banners bearing the slogan, “There Shall Be No Regrets”, and with the tune of the song by that name ringing in their ears while in hearts engraved as in stone will be the salf-same slogan, the little band of gridsters and rooters will go to Lincoln with full determination to uphold the honor of A & M and of the Southwest in their battle with the Big Six Conference eleven. To put it in the words of Captain Bull Floyd, who will lead the Aggie gridsters in the contest: “We are not going- to Lincoln to give Nebras ka a hard fight, but to win the game.” Such will be the determination of every member of the Maroon and White eleven as he leaves for the game and such has been their deter mination throughout the training grind which has led up to the inter sectional clash. The game will mark the renewal of an old feud between Matty Bell, head coach of the Aggies, and Dana X. Bible, former Aggie mentor who now is tutoring the Cornhuskers. In the old days Bell was coach of the T. C. U. Horned Frogs and his teams re peatedly repelled the attacks of A & M elevens which were rated far stronger than his. In the five years that the feud flourished in the South west Conference Bible scored only one victory over Bell, while the present Aggie mentor sent his teams to two (Continued on page 7) Argentina purchases one half the 25,000 windmills which are manufac tured annually in this country.
