THIS SUMMER
Aggies let’s talk Aggieland! Another year has passed. In
a few days many of us will be off for home, for summer camp, or
for various other vacations. But wherever we are, let us not for
get that the future of our college rests upon the advertising that
we as students give it. Being a state institution A & M will not
do any public advertising. So it is up to us.
It is reasonable to suppose that we are all interested in a
better college. We can get it by encouraging men of the right
calibre to enroll.
We bow to no one. Our faculty is the best that can be found.
We have more buildings and equipment than any other school in
the state. We have a beautiful campus. As a place for training
the individual, A & M offers those things which should lure all
red blooded Texans. You know the kind we want for students.
Let’s have them. Aggies let’s talk Aggieland!
Carnivals and Amusements
the city has had any authority in the matter of Sunday moving
picture shows. Until the recent Sunday movie bill was passed
by the Legislature and signed by Governor Sterling, a state law
expressly prohibited Sunday movies and the city had no authority
in the matter. The recent prosecution in Bryan for operating a
moving picture show on Sunday was done by county officials, op
erating under a state law.
Bryan is an orderly city, by comparison with many in this and
other states. The citizenry and the officials of the city have long-
realized the responsibility that was theirs, in making Bryan an
orderly city, for the very reason that Texas A & M College was
located at its door step and Allen Academy was situated within the
limits of the city. The homes of residents of Bryan always have
been open to the members of the two student bodies and the men
and women of Bryan have always showed a keen interest in the
welfare of these young men from the moral as well as the physical
angle.
The facts in the case scarcely warrant the effusion of the
editor of The Battalion.
CAMPUS COMMENT
The following letter has been received by us from the city
of Bryan:
Editor The Battalion,
College Station, Texas.
Dear Sir:
Our attention has just been invited to an editorial in your issue
of May 20, 1931, with reference to the carnival that showed in
this vicinity the previous week.
We are glad indeed to have this criticism, because it is our

Loss of Captain Bernard Schriever,
San Antonio, when the gol% season
opens next spring will be keenly felt.
He was runner up for medalist hon
ors in the Conference meet in which
the Aggies finished a close second to
S. M. U., Perry Keith, letterman this
season, will be the only “T” man re
turning for next yearls club. G. L.
Christian and Charlie Malone, mem
bers of this season’s squad, will also
be back. As yet no captain has been
announced.
The team this season defeated Rice
and tied Texas. They were charged
with one loss to S. M. U. before the
Conference meet, but were conceded
an even chance at Dallas. However, the
Mustangs again nosed them out in
the Conference tilt and took the title
by a margin of ten points.

Hear the difference
Taste the hiffehejvce :
Various comment caused last week by our remarks on the
carnival have brought replies from several people from the city.
Their principle statement is that the officials of the city of Bryan
did not have any thing to do with the allowing of the show to ex
hibit in the county, but state that they refused them permission to
put their tents in the city. Hence they set up in a pasture ajoining
the northern part of the city, which by the way is still in the same
county as the A. & M. College. Maybe we should have been a bit
more general in our statement of accusation and included others,
which it seems allowed the tramps of the show world to appear
here.
We are glad to learn that the city also does not have any thing
to do with the allowing of Sunday amusements in it’s own limits,
but we feel a bit skeptical as to the effort they have made in ex
cusing or approving any such plan.
It is natural that schools and colleges for men would be fre
quented with the problem of amusements, especially more so than
a co-educational institution, and we are very grateful to any effort
made by any one to provide something to break the humdrum mo
notony of attending classes, but we do also think that there should
be some restrictions as to the nature of the amusements. As vaca
tion days are here we are forgeting the incident, and will try to
get enough recreation from other resources during the summer
to last us through the next year without any low minded would-be
vaudeville performances, such as “Paris Nights.”
A STATEMENT NOT WARANTED
(Editor’s Note—The following statement was published in The Bryan Daily
Eagle Saturday, May 23. Preceeding it was published the editorial by The
Battalion of last week in regard to carnivals.)
The above editorial, headed “What Price Virtue,” appeared in
The Battalion, Texas A & M College student publication of May 20,
and while the writer may be correct in his assumption that a more
or less vulgar show was part of the entertainment offered at the
carnival in question, he is not correct in assuming that city author
ities had anything to do with the carnival, that is was located
within the city limits or that city authorities have anything to
do with the operation of moving picture theaters on Sunday.
The carnival owners sought permission to show within the
city limits but were refused. They pitched their tents north of
the city limits on the Hearne road. The job of policing the car
nival then became the duty of county officials and if the show in
question was so bad and with such baneful effects on spectators
it is surprising that the writer of the editorial did not lodge com
plaint with the county attorney and insist that action be taken
to protect the morals of the community.
The writer of the editorial was also wrong in assuming that
Like an oasis in the dusty desert of dried
tobacco, the new Camel Humidor Pack
brings you the delight of fine quality
cigarettes in factory-fresh, mild con
dition.
Now, wherever you go, you can always
be sure of getting a fresh, throat-easy
cigarette when you demand Camels.
It’s easy to tell the difference. Your
sense of touch detects it as you roll a
cigarette between your fingers. Dry to
bacco is stiff and crumbly. Camels are
full bodied and pliant.
Even your ear can tell-the difference.
For a dried-out cigarette crackles when
you roll it.
But the real test is taste and taste is
causing a great nation-wide switch of
men and women alike to Camels in the
scientific new Humidor Pack. As you
draw in that fragrant, mild, cool smoke,
redolent with the joy of choicest Turk
ish and mellow Domestic tobacco, only
then do you realize the full importance
of this new Humidor Pack.
For scorched or dried tobacco is brash
and tasteless and its smoke is unkindly
hot to the tongue and throat.
If you are already a Camel smoker
you have noticed the improvement in
this your favorite cigarette.
If you don’t smoke Camels, try them
for just one day to see how much you’re
missing. After you’ve known the mild
ness and delight of a really fresh ciga
rette, switch back if you can.
