0nly Ten Days ’Til Christmas
^ ~ f j * ■ ; 1/ ^ ^
The date the calendar reads December the ninth. This makes
you think, "Oaly ten more days till the Christmas Holiday*.” Every
one erill be gled to gil away and everyone is planning whet he will do

CAMPU/ COMMENT
THE YELL LEADER WRITES
it
\ Daqnnber 8, 1981
TO THE EDITOR OF THE BATTALTON:— /
Is there any chance of me getting a little space in some future issue
of the Battalion? J V
1 would likte to thank the corpe for their supiwrt to the yell staff
during the past football season. \
There is ao way to, express these thanks except through the
Battalion and I might say that I hs.e had several letters from ex
studenU who s«med t# think that the corps sounded better this year
than in many a year. , • > pv
It certainly made me feel good to receive congratulations from
such men as "Besument” Buck, “Preacher” Durst, “Dudch” Hohn,
and "Red” Thompson. They all said that our yelling at the Texas
game was better than *at of nny cadet corps they had heard, banriag
none. • ! „ ►
1 also received seteral letters concerning the formation at the
Teas game. All letters were complimentary and it seems that every
one liked it fine. I am sorry that the Seniors did not get to make the
"T” in the stands but the reason they failed to do this was because
the studenU sold their student tickets and the holders of these tickets
had the right to sit in their seat*. The Seniors spent their time, while
the corps was bn the field, moving people to the side lines and having
a place vacant for the corpe when they came to the standa.
. '• I’m sorry that I did and said things during the nt-ason that did
not strike the fancy of some of you. Remember, please, that smart
people make mistakes sometime so what the hell do you expect of
me? Remember that ninety-nine per cent of the pencils sold at A and
M have erasers on them. I think they are to erase mistakts. I can’t
•rose mine but plans# accept my apologies and I am indeed sorry for
my mistakes. . . i
Many of the boy* on the campus hated to cooperate with the ytO
staff because they figured that I belonged to a certain secret organisa
tion on the campus. May I correct this notion ;<rf theta? Every
year when the Junior YeQ Leaders are officially made yen leader*
they have to premia# the Senior Yell Lseder that they will not joto
theel organisation*. I made promise to "Hop" Reynolds #«««<
"Freddie" Buford. I hews held by my promise and will st aB times
keep holding to R. I made Tommie and George promise the same to
me aad Pinkie made the promise at the same thmo I did, ao I may
truthfully my that none of the yeU staff belong to the so-called frater-
nities. But to certain men both in and out of those organisations may
I thank you personally for your seif this past year. You have your
own ideas aad whether yoe •ere or eot" I want to continue to bo
your friend.
Remember. 01’ Army, that basket hall season is starting and than
baseball and track. If you support these sporte as in the past years
I think every one concerned will bo mtisfiod but remember We loot
several U>ket ball gamee last year by free shots which were given
the visiting team on account of the booing of the cor* toward the
actions of the officials. At Rases last your we had reason to do this
hut remember the referee has us by the “ring-yang” so let’* wait
until after the game to mas him. After the gun is fired ho can’t do
anything. Help Coach Raid and the he*ket ball team by remembering
this—won’t you?
Remember also, 01’ Army, that you have aa election for Chief
Yell Leader for next year. I don’t know who you intend to have fill
tAis place next year hut remember that there happens to be a Httle
work attached to the job aad be sure yen got a man who will do his
best. I might say right here for you to elect a man "who will do as
I my, not ons who will do as I did."
May I recommend that you pnt a man in the place who has had
some expe rience on the staff ’cause the experience he receives is neces
sary and I don’t believe a man who has not had this experience can
handle the job like it should be bandied
To the lucky boys who didn’t go on the "December first corps
trip” I wish a big year and to the luckier boy* who did make the
one way tnp home I wish you Happy Xmas Holidays and lot’s of—
wall let’s say-good eats.
To you all, I thank you for the support this year. I consider it
the greatest honor to be yell leader for a bunch such as we have
here this year. I hope I can ceme back in future years to see you
and be accepted ns friend to sack one of you underclassmen. And to
the Seniors, let’s finish this year out by seeing more winning teams.
Give your support »nd see that the others give their support—the
teams will do the rest.
y Thanks, fellows,
J. U. PARKER.

Time Drawing Near For Close of
Battalion Short Story Competition
Cadets are always bemoaning the
feet that they are hard up for
ready cash and yet when a sum
of money amounting to anywhere
from five to twenty dollars is as
much as thrown at them, they
haven’t the energy to raise their
heads from their moronic mire aad
seise it The students ef this col
lege have always characterised
themselves as being ready with a
good story at any time aad to hear
some of the effluence of bull in
any room after call-to-qdarters
would erase any doubt concerning

above are. to go as prises for the
best short stones turned in to the

appear difficult to satisfy both ef
your natures at once, spin a story
and win the cash, but then an
apology is due you, for you are
only college studenU and cannot
be expected te spell the big words
necessary for a story of this kind,

lewdness, etc.

Seniors Conduct !
i Night School For
Farm Communities
For the benefit of the Brasos
County farmers and also to obtain
practical experience, the Sseniors
in Agricultural Education, taking
training to be tehchqrs in Voca
tional Education next year, are
holding night schopla in Prospect,
Swetaaa, Reliance, and Steep Hol
low Communities past night each
week. Round table discussion is
held under the supervision of these
men en ell questions, which occur
to the farmers, and the experience
of other farmers is 4>*wn out by
the Seniors as well As additional
information supplied by the Sen-
iote to reach the desired decision
required by the farmer*. This is
the third year that school* of this
sort have been held a«d they have
proven quite successful end are
grewin*; in attendance-
The I common problems being
dealt with in theqe school* this
year have to do with crops to be
substituted for cotton because of
the cotton acreage law and also
the underi*ability of cotton because
of the low selling price, and also
the producing of a living at home.
Having arrived at a solution of
the substitution, the problem of
how to raise those crops ia consid
ered. This process is not only bene
ficial to the farmers of the county,
but is also e source of practical
knowledge to the studenta which
will prove useful when teaching
Vocational K ducat ion in- future
years.
Tulane’s "Tidal Wave,” as it may
rightfully be called atfer rolling
over LI grid teams of the South in

Southern Californig’s Trojan’s New
Year's Day.
Both teams boast players of all-
American ability with California
holding n slight edge. But the
