BetUr methods and equipment for handling the postal activities of the college and those connected with It are as badly needed as more classroom space and accomodations. The service rendered by the student post office especially is far below what it should be but up to the present nothing of s constructive nature has been done to remedy the situation. Mail is put in the boxes at any convenient time of the day or night, the perchase of stamps necessitates s walk scrota the campus, and to mail a let Ur means another hike to one of the three pasting locations. A central post office located at some convenient place on the cam pus and incorporating the federal, faculty, and dtudent exchanges into one would be a wise and useful addition U the A and M building prog ram and would correct a long etadured evil of student life. Let’s Give ’Em Hell! By JAMES CRENSHAW Editor. College News Service Dispatches from Washington indicate that President Roosevelt’s program from now on is not going U have as easy sledding as it did at first. Some congressmen, it seems, are bent on a program of tinker ing and inUrference, if not actual harassment, which can only delay • dMHBlt MMfdHlh ' . ‘ . • IJ 1 It it reported that this group of legislative pinheads particularly resents the fact that President Roosevelt has among his principal advisers a number of persons who are probably better able to give advice in their respective fields than anyone else. Because these ad viser* happen to be or have been college profeasors, their proposals are belittled aad ridiculed as “mere theories’* by these massive inUl lects whom we have elected U pass judgment on them. Boob politicians, who have never studied anything but the game of political expediency—who cannot stuck any problem honestly and impartially, because they must twist every move to their own miserable, personally political ends—these men apparently are afraid of brains, so they cover up their confusion by calling the president’s program “theoretical.’’ Apparently it is only s minority which is attempting to pick the president's program to pieces, but it is s dangeitms minority and can delay the machinery of recovery to the point of despair. The presi dent has shown himself willing to accept any reasonable compromise, but is there any reason why he or the people shduid be forced to wait (and pay) for the forces of hot air and technical;procedure to exhaust Another senior who re-visited his freshman year was Jack C. Barron who is getting to be quiU promi nent in this column. Last Saturday night Barron, who is in the Engi neer upit, was visiting in the In fantry when an “airing-out” party for the freshmen was in progress. Apparently Jack was mistaken for a freshman, for several husky Infantry sophomores chased Jack for the tall woods with Sam Browne belts—and buckeU of waUr. Sam Barron belts you guys wouldn't like it either. Decorator I'ndecorated—or some other such rot is our idea of a sug gested headline for this paragraph. Anyway Jack Estes, Cavalry sen ior, still thinks what happened to him last Friday night was a night mare. As it happened Estes was one of those working in the Mess Hall on the decorations for the Cotton Bali when other decorators conceived the idea of undressing Jack. And so they carried out this idea, hanging his trousers up with the other decorations and rushing him outside where he stood half nude trying to force a re-entree. At this time the Engineers’ banquet for thtir dance dates was in full progreta, and to Jack’s dynamic embarassment. the banquet broke up at Ihis time placidg him under the surveillance of the femmes leaving the Mess Hall.
