There seems to be one desirable tradition that is becominff weaker and weaker each yeffr, and it is one that should be held as hiffh, if not hiffber, than any other tradition we hare. This reference Is made to the eastern that the corps has, or oi had. of speaking to fellow students when passing them on the campus, reward less of class, organisation, or whether or not one has ever seen the other before. It is a distinction that A, and M has had above most other Southern schools and this tradition in the past has promoted a closer association and feeling toward fellow students at A and M. Same of us try to offer the excuse that we’re thinking aboat our work when we’re going to and from classes, but' ian’t friendship and assoeistion worth something? It seems that a student could forget his sic worries long enough to pass a friendly salutation to those and the good feeling and friendliness that comes from this ty will probably warrant the few grade points (if any) that are it think it over and revive this tradition which was once so ft t > - firmer * pul-Colo i 7 the cc | Wayi Bee IDLE RUMOR When Uncle Sam's pay day com es around many of us get avari cious and we avaricious joke of the year to tell about the pay day, last Thursday.

He then en tered Kelly Field and left m Oc tober to return to Sherman, where he worked in a cotton mil until the fall of 1928. His work there car ried him into experimental lines and his ambition at that time was; to receive an education in textile MflMAlfalf. But for some reason his mind was changed and he enrolled in civil engineering at A aad M Col lege as a freshman in 1928. He remainad in school for two years and resigned to ngeept a position with the War Department Engi neers of the Gnhreston Office. In this capacity ha worked on the Guadalape River Survey from June, 11*HO until August 1931. He returned to school and that year waa made first sergeant of Bat tery -A”.

PRIVILEGES AGAIN M It seem* that the seniors arc going to be forced into appeolbtg to an oracle for a method of impressing upon the minds of the under classman that there is such a thing as a senior privilege in existence around A and M this year. The majority of the underclassmen profess a £amt recollection of having heard the phrase “senior privileges” mentioned when they are broached on the subject but none of them art quite sure just where or under what circumstances they were forced to listed to a discussion of so trivial and insignificant a topic. And the aeaiors are showing a wdtingness to look calmly on while everyone from freshmen to and including juniors usurp the special concessions that are supposed to represent the reward of three years of conacien- tious endaavor. Mention previously has been made of the various offenses bu| one that merits the attention of all concerned is the disregard of the sgnior section (n the Assembly Hall. All underclasamen are supposed to |now that th^ center section from the first row hack to the columns down stairs n reserved for seniors and campus residents and .hat the first two rov^s in the center balcony are for seniors only.
