$35,000 Borrowed
From Ex-Students
A total of $35,000 was loaned to 235
A & M students by the Ex-Students
Association at the beginning of school
this year, according to E. 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.

PROPOSE CHANGES IN
SENIOR COURT METHOD
Proposed changes in the routine of
the future senior court were discussed
in the first meeting of the court Tues
day afternoon in the Military Science
Building, announcement by Cadet
Colonel Frank Bortle discloses.
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!

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

George Fix, Dallas, was elected

Dallas, vice-president of the junior
class at the initial meeting of the col
lege year in the Assembly Hall Sat
urday. Another Dallas boy, Francis
McGinnis, was chosen secretary and
treasurer, while Alfred Saenger,
Beaumoibfe, was elected class histor
ian.
Members of the student welfare
committee chosen to represent the
junior class were Luther Bell, Har
lingen; August Moser, Dallas and
Robert Gregory, Fort Worth.
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.
The second floor of the hall will be
converted into drawing rooms for the
senior and freshman architects. Grad
uate students will have several study
rooms on the same floor, and the Ar
chitectural Club will remove its quar
ters to this new location.
INCREASE EXTENSION STAFF
A new phase of service to Texas
farmers is being introduced this year
by the Extension Service, A & M Col
lege of Texas, through the addition to
the staff of Roy W. Snyder, of Ames,
la., as meat specialist, effective Oct.
1. Mr. Snyder is a graduate of Iowa
State College and has held the posi
tion of meat specialist in hte Iowa
Extension Service for the last eight
years.
In announcing the appointment of
Mr. Snyder, Director O. B. Martin of
the Texas Extension Service explained
that through the new line of work
more help will be given farmers and
members of their families in putting
quality products on the market at bet
ter prices.
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
