THE BATTALION
New Band Uniform
Given Approval
By Junior Class
Approval of a new uniform of
slacks for all members of the band
to be worn by that organization
next year when appearing- in con
certs, on the football field, and when
making trips in a body, was given by
the members of the junior class in a
meeting yesterday. The change which
would involve the use of a so called
Senior’s privilege, necessitated the ap
proval of this year’s junior class as
they would be seniors next year, and
have the power of deciding the issue.
The uniform will consist of slacks
of the style worn on the campus now
with a narrow white strip down the
seam on the leg, a white leather Sam
Browne belt, with one or two shoul
der straps, and possibly a white leath
er detachable chin strap. This uniform
will make the band’s appearance con
siderably improved, but was approved
by the class only with the understand
ing that the slacks would not be worn
by underclassmen except when ap
pearing with the band in a body.

Much Improvement
The academic editorial hour glass
has almost run dry, and the time has
come for another set of senior pub
lications executives to give way to a
new group rising from the ranks of
the present junior class. With the
publication of The Longhorn this week,
the last of the seniors,’ work on stu
dent publications was completed.
The Texas Aggie Countryman sen
ior editor and business manager were
the first to give way, their positions
being taken over by junior just before
the last issue which appeared in April.
Now the new editors of The Longhorn.
The Battalion and The Technoscope
have been selected and already are
busy on plans for next year’s publi
cations.
The past two years have seen rapid
advances in student publications, the
climax being reached with the forma
tion of the Student Publications Board
several weeks ago. First, The Texas
Aggie Countryman made its appear
ance in the early part of 1930, and
was followed very shortly by the first
edition of The Technoscope. Last fall

ed its lead and appeared this week
with several distinctly new ideas and
features.
Under the student publications coun
cil plan henceforth all will be operat
ed on a group business plan. Editors
will be selected as formerly, but the
business or advertising managers will
be named by the council business man
ager, J. E. Angell, formerly with the
Denton Record-Chronicle, who holds
this position.
Following an annual custom next
week’s Battalion will be published un

FAST TRACK/
\ TRACK man will tell you that records are broken when
t\ the track is fast. Think of this setting—a cool evening,
the stands overflowing, the whole spectacle brilliantly lighted
with G-E floodlights, and a fast track — a record simply
couldn’t stand the “gaff.”
Nighttime, when people naturally turn to diversion, is the
logical time for a track meet. Lack of support will be a thing
of the past. And just watch the athletic fund grow.
G-E floodlighting projectors, largely the development of
college-trained men, are easily adapted to any occasion whether
football, track, tennis, commencement, receptions, or plays.
Efficient G-E illumination promotes athletics and builds
school spirit.

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO
(Taken from the “Twenty-five
Years Ago” Column of The Bryan
Eagle and originally printed by that
paper on May 18, 1906.)
The Battalion, published at A & M
College, reports that the board of di
rectors of that institution have ev-
pressed themselves as being in favor
of making an appropriation for the
purchase of a pipe organ to be in
stalled where students and campus
residents may enjoy it. However, as a
sum of money sufficient to purchase
such an instrument is not available at
this time and it would be necessary
for faculty members and students to
provide additional money if the in
strument is to be purchased in the
near future,
