Interest shown in the senior election for valedictorian this week indicates that for the first time in several years students have become aware of the fact that they have the power of expressing their wishes through the medium of the ballot, and it is to be hoped that weeks which remain before the day of the general election will be replete with politics, that there will be numerous candidates for the offices in question and that students will make their choices wisely. But whatever the good features which were evident in the vale dictorian election, it was also very noticeable that even after four years spent under the supposedly broadening and enlightening influ ence of a college, students will not break away from the traditional “hat-cord” election. Such a condition is deplorable even in elections which pertain to freshman and sophomore classes only, but in affairs of student-wide importance they are even more so and show that after all there are many students who learn nothing more in college than mathematical formulas and data printed in books. In the coming election, let us keep in mind that he who is best equipped, most broad-minded and fairest dealing should be the logical choice—regardless of the color of his hat-cord or the design of his organization insignia. Aggies Oppose Disarmament And Prohibition But Uphold R 0 T C That the student body at A and M is anything but pacific in its views and is dissatisfied with the results obtained by the Eighteenth Amendment are the outstanding features shown in the results of the ballot carried by The Battalion some time ago. The ballot also showed that students voting did not desire the abolishment of the R. 0. T. C. although they were very much opposed to the Eighteenth Amendment. Because of a typographical error in the first clause of the ballot, the initial question no doubt was slight ly confusing to the voters although their response showed them over whelmingly opposed to disarma ment to any extent on the part of the United States, as is indicated by the replies to the second ques tion of the first clause where 762 voted against the United States’ taking the lead in world disarma ment as opposed to 219 who favor ed our taking the lead. 170, 75% 33, 100% 30. 2. Do you favor the United States taking the lead in world disarma ment? Yes—219, No—762. 3. As measures to bring about world peace, do you believe past conferences in which the United States has taken part have been to any extent successful? Yes—303, No—669. 4. Do you favor compulsory R. O. T. C.? Yes—483, No—518. 5. Do you favor abolishment of the R. O. T. C.? Yes—42. No.— 942. 6. Do you believe that military training in educational institutions tends to increase the incentive for war? Yes—51, No.—930. 7. Have you had military train ing? Yes—867. No—111. PROHIBITION 1. Do you believe it possible to enforce prohibition? Yes—186, No —774. 2. Do you favor (a) repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment? 162; (b) ranking player of the Aggies fell before the onslaught of Jake Hess, outstanding Rice player, 6-0, 6-0. Hess then teamed with Connelly to defeat Cunningham and Emery in a doubles match 6-0, 6-0. Robert son lost to Holden of Rice, and Emery to Carter. Connelly and Carter won from Williams and Robertson 6-1, 6-1. Williams took the measure of Allen, 2-6, 6-4, 7-5, for the team’s only victory. Cunningham is the only letter man on the team as G. S. Williams, Fort Worth, was ineligible last year. A. M. Emery, Dallas, is a squad man and J. W. Robertson a freshman numeral man. The next encounter for the Ag gies will be on the newly complet ed courts at Kyle Field Saturday afternoon with S M U furnishing the opposition. W restling-Boxing Finals Promising Many Good Fights Many tough matches were held in wrestling Tuesday and Thurs day afternoons as part of the semi final bouts were fought. Boxing semi-finals are to be held Wednes day afternoon, and the finals to be held Saturday night, April 9. In the 115-pound wrestling class, W. B. Hinkly, Company A Engi neers and R. D. Valle, Battery F, Artillery, won their respective semi-final bouts and will wrestle in the finals. These men are light but their speed is due to make this a very closely fought match. H. D. Pool, A Cavalry and George Naggai, B Engineers are scheduled to do the twisting in the 125-pound class. Pool, last year’s champion, won his semi-final match Tuesday in one of the fastest bouts of the eve ning, pinning his opponent in less that one minute. Due to the large number of men out for the 135-, 145-, and 160-pound classes, these semi-final matches have not been determined to date. Probably the most evenly match ed and most promising bout in wrestling will be in the 175-pound class when T. E. Sargeant, Battery F, Artillery, tangles with J. E. Cas well, B Coast Artillery in the final i75-pound bout. Both these men have proven fast and powerful in their previous matches and should give a very close match. representative on the Publications Board.

He was re lieved by “Bob” Scheer, Marshall righthander, in the fifth. Scheer’s entry proved to be the undoing of the Aggies, as the Frogs found his slants to their liking and be fore the side could be retired the lead had been increased to six runs. Scheer made his exit after that memorable inning to be followed by “Bugga” Moon, fire-ball tosser from Holland. Moon, who is a soph omore, held the opponents well in hand except for one inning when the visitors pushed across a lone tally. One redeeming fact could be found among the weaknesses of the team Saturday afternoon is that while the hitting was well below par, fielding for the day very close ly approached that of perfect. “Mitch” Mitchell handled the short- field post in a remarkably smooth manner as did George Carpenter Four Payments All fees with the exception of the maintenance fee are payable at the beginning of the term.
