INGENIOUS AT THAT!
The picture below shows Bobby Car
michael, U. of North Carolina soph
omore, and the so nof the vice presi
dent of Liggett & Myers. He pre
sented 200 copies to his friends as a
Christmas card.
The caption reads, “Bobby Car
michael yesterday went crazy work
ing on an idea for a Christmas card.
His last words were: “Merry Christ
mas and Happy New Year!” You see
him as he appeared in a padded cell
at Bellevue, to which he was rushed
and in which he was photographed.”
Last year, Carmichael sent burlap bags
full of ticker tape on which were print
ed the words, “Good News.”
KING OF GOLF TAKES TO AIR
Bobby Jones, former Georgia Tech
student, is now telling the golf bugs
every Wednesday eveninghow he did
it. Some Tom Thumb course in Cin
cinnati is advertising “Come here on
Wednesdays and let Bobby teach you.”
A WORLD’S RECORD
University of Pittsburgh debaters
recently engaged in four contests in
one day. The same team, too. The
idea was to give the team more variety
in the type of audiences it faced.
SOME SMOKE
Not long ago, New York University
was sued by a man who claimed the
smoke from the university chimneys
turned his white poodle dog black in
five minutes. That he had some jus
tification comes from the supporting
statement of the editor of the New
Yorker, who says he has had Cream
of Wheat turn to Grape Nuts in four
minutes in the same district.
IS IT POSSIBLE?
Every college has its freak, wheth
er it be in low. cost of living, scholar
ship, athletics, or something else. Yale
University has one that ranks wi T
the best. He spends three and one-half
hours going to and from the univers
ity each day, works eight hours every
day, and still finds enough time to at
tend classes, study, and pass his wotk
with the school avei’age, in addition
to getting a few hours sleep now and
then. What a lad!
When we make a chaos of the home,
as we do by divorce, we do the same
thing eventually to the government.—
Rev. T. L. Graham.
CO-ED BETRAYS HIDING PLACE
A> cherished bell clapper, used to
peal forth the token of victory for the
Oklahoma Aggies over their neighbor
ing rival, (_ klahoma University, was
mysteriously spirited away, supposed
ly by O. U. s'udents. Some time
later, a university ;o-ed had a date
with one of the Aggie boys. Her con
versation unconsciously revealed the
hiding place of the bell clapper. A
juick search was made by Aggie stu
dents with no results. But dire threats
of terrible punishment to a captured
university student brought his col
leagues on a run with the desired
clapper. And now, the object ot all the
excitement will repose in a ecure
hiding place, known to a select few, to
be brought out only on very special
occasions.
From The Ubyssey, U. of British
Columbia, Vancouver, comes this en
joyable sketch:—
The Editor sat is his cane bottom
chair,
Ran all his fingers through all of his
hair,
And wildly implored in a voice of dis-
pair
For copy.
Printers and ’phone were both sizzling
hot
“That blankable copy has got to be
got!
We want it right. What we want is
a lot
More copy!”
But still, the reporters all fervently
swore
That they’d got all the news in the
country and more,
The Editor raved as he traversed the
floor
“More copy!”
The issue is out. Now we hear people
tell
Of a maniac held in a lone padded
cell.
The poor ex-editor only can yell,
“More copy!”
PAGE MR. CAPONE
We notice with interest and amuse
ment a news item relating that ex
criminals are to teach their arts at
the University of Chicago. This should
bring out a novel course of study, what
with a different night life to pursue,
exams on the rifle range and probably
only a third degree upon graduation.
QUOTH THE RAVEN!
Little known to college folks is the
fact that Edgar Allen Poe was a
student at the University of Virginia
in 1826. On Monday, January 19, many
visitors were present for his 122 anni
versary. The room in which Poe lived
is kept as nearly intact as possible.
A&M Debaters Defeat
Washburn Team
Taking the affirmative in the ques
tion, “Resolved, that the Nations
Should Adopt the Policy of Free
Trade”, the A&M debate team de
feated Washburn college of Topeka,
Kansas, Wednesday night in the phy
sics lecture room.
W. O. Alexander, Bryan, and H. A.
Lang, Dallas, represented the local
society. Charles H. Stevens, and R. B.
McEntire were contestants for the
Kansas institution.
Vice President Curtic, who cele
brated his 71st birthday Jan. 25, has
spent more than half of his life in
Congress.

Ask Increase in ROTC
Appropriation At A&M
A questionnaire has recently been
sent to all graduates of the 1925
ROTC class in an effort to show the
War Department that graduates of
A&M retain their commission in
the Officers Reserve Corps to a larger
extent than those of many other simi
lar institutions, a report from Major
J. E. Sloan, indicates.
According to the military depart
ment, government appropriations for
the advance course are proving insuf
ficient to meet the demand, and there
is danger of curtailment in the num
ber that can be enrolled for this
course in the future.
Dean F. C. Bolton and Major Sloan
were instrumental in conducting the
investigation.
HARD-BOILED PROFS POPULAR
BATON ROUGE, LA.—An article
in the Reveille, undergraduate news
paper of the Lousiana State Univer
sity, declares that all the types of
instructors on the campus, the most
hated, and at the same time the most
popular in the end, is the so-called
“Hard-boiled prof.”
Y M C A SECRETARY
Harry Bone, one of the internation
al student secretaries of the Y M C
A, will be at A & M for two weeks,
beginning February 16. Mr. Bone is
a student leader, and will meet with
various groups to discuss current
student problems.
