IN MEMOKIAM
With the firing of the final forty-eight gun salute, a day of raourn-
* ing for the death of Ex-President Calvin Coolidge was closed. Typical
of the esteem held for a national executive the 4ntire nation observed
this day as a final memorial to a great national figure.
Qalyin Coolidge was president of the United States during its era
of greatest power and fame and . will be remembered as one of the
nation’s greatest leaders. '

STUDENT VANDALISM
4 seems that “Prexy’s Moon” is doom. d to remain unlit for some
time to come and it is altogether possible that it might even be rele
gated; to the ranks of the has-beens and become only a memory. Such
Would be a sad happening The economic conditions have made h im
possible for the college authorities to replace the light each time it is
destroyed to appease the vandalistic nature of some member of the
student bogy. For years ‘‘Prexy’s Moon” has been what might be called
* tradition, not only among the A and M men but among the citixenry
of the statg m general, and there are many w Ko would dislike to see
its passing. Thp college sponsors a rifle team that would be more than
glad to make use of the sharp-shooting abilities of any member of the
corps and a man who can hit “Prexy’s Moon” fhrni a dormitory win
dow ghould prove to be a valuable asset to that team, but shooting on
tbe rifle squad would bring honor and glory* to tlie school and perhaps
the individual, while destroying college property* has a greater appeal
only to the element that is responsible for the incessant destruction of
“Prexy’s Moon.
