Student Elections
Announcement by the Senior Election Committee of April 26 as
the date of the annual general student election calls to mind that
those students who plan to be candidates or who plan to support
friends as candidates in the coming election have very little time
in which to give notice of their candidacies in the prescribed form and
in getting their campaigns underway.
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.

Freddie Marshall Shaw, Aggie
mound ace, started the affair and
although only three safeties were
registered off his delivery in four
innings, two of them accounted
for scores in the first. 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.
