those portions of the ballots that
seem to interest them personally.
This explains why so many of the
totals shown in the tabulation ac
companying this story fall far below
the total number of ballots cast.
A careful study of the returns re
veals much material for thought to
the cadet who is determined to pick
his girl according to A & M specifi
cations—if there be such an indivi
dual. He must select a girl that is
economical — naturally. She must
not smoke, drink, or swear—one in
a family to do these things is enough.
Above everything else, she must have
a sense of humor.
She should be a church member, but
this attribute does not seem to be as
essential as some others. The re
markable fact about this section of
the poll is not that so many prefer
red their ideal girl to be a church
member but that so many considered
the question rather immaterial. A-
bout 350 didn’t care, while 55 show
ed a preference for the ladies who at
tend no church.

desired the domestic lass. The ath
letic type pushed the kitchen maid
strongly, however, coming to the
stretch with 433 votes. A great many
of the lads have a dream of a ‘honey’
who can breeze in from the play
ground and yet have a hot, tasty din
ner on the table within a very few
minutes.
The figures show that 942 Aggies
think that her wealth should not be
a consideration, but the story would
remain untold of it stopped here.
Some of the 226 who demanded that
her wealth be taken into consideration
did so with that strong affirmative,
“Not only ‘yes’, but ‘Hell yes.”
The Widow sisters, Sod and Grass,
had rather tough sledding throughout
the entire balloting, with the real
variety having a slight edge over the
divorcee. The widow was consider
ed objectionable by 676, while 806
ruled out the divorcee. To the sup
port of these harried women, however,
came 464 who had no qualms about
marrying a wodow and 384 who would
be content with a divorcee. The re
sults thus show that many boys pre
fer a fidow to a divorcee, but it was
remarkable to note, during the pro
cess of counting, how many cadets
turned their thumbs down upon the
widow but welcomed the divorcee.
The art and brillance of the cadet
corps as a whole seemed to be turn
ed upon the “miscellaneous” column,
where the individual was allowed
to add traits he considered essential
in his gal. These ranged from the
highly comical to the deeply serious.
Some of these have been reproduced
below.

Rifle Team Victor
In First Match
With a clean slate at the end of
the first two week’s firing, when they
defeated decisively Georgia Tech, Kan
sas State, Mississippi A&M, Wash
ington State University, Oregon Ag
gies, and the Ohio State University,
Lieutenant Nachman’s sharpshooters
served notice that they were out to
repeat last year’s feat, and bring home
another national championship to Ag
gieland.
At the end of the first week’s fir
ing the best individual score was turn
ed in by W. H. Myers, team captain,
of Valley View, who had a 382 out
of a possible 400. The second week
honors went to J. S. Porcher, El Paso,
with a 375 out of a possible 400.
The second week’s competition,
which is the one just past, the team
fired matches with the U. S. Military
Academy, New York Stock Exchange,
a professional team, Lehigh Univer
sity, Washington State University, Da
vidson college, Carnegie Institute of
Cornell, Indiana University, Louisiana
State University and the Eighth Corps
area match. A special match with the
University of Wichita, a team compos
ed of women only, was also fired. The
results fo these matches will not be
available until the end of the present
week.
The team last year won the national
title with a safe lead and though sev
eral members were lost by graduation
and failure to return to school, this
year’s combination, thus far, appears
to be much stronger than the one of
last year, Lieutenant Nachman said.
sweet girl....Must be a damn good cook
....She may drink to be sociable, but
itive reaction to and a desire for be
ing loved....The right one....In other
words, an angel (the boy marking this
ballot probably didn’t know that now-
where can we find a reference con
cerning a female angel)....In other
words, SOMETHING THAT
DOESN’T EXIST....”
One lad, in an effort to put over
the apperance of his ideal girl, pasted
a picture of Clara Bow on his ballot.
The general attitude of the Aggies
towards this mythical, all-Aggieland
selection of the ideal girl, however,
seems to be summed up in one boy’s
remark that “If the young lady clicks
with you, why bother about her quali
fications.”

Unusual Light Effects
Realistic lighting effects, due to the
different methods of illumination us
ed, and decorations of a modernistic
design, are among the preparations
now being made for the E. E. dance to
be held in the Mess Hall Annex March
6, J. W. Mims, chairman of the dance
committee, reports.
This is the first attempt of the elec
trical engineers to decorate their an

ground for the unique designs will be
used, and some thrilling electrical nov

dances.
Music for the occasion will be fur
