C. Daria in the 86th district court at Bryan last Saturday on the mandamus proceedings filed in September by Bryan citisens to compel the admission of women students to the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas. Sev-< era! weeks ago the court ruled that each member of the Board of Di rectors of Texas A and M College must be served with notice of the proceedings; in order to carry out the ruling it was neesaasry to de lay the date of hearing until Oc tober 21, however, this second post ponement leaves the trial sche duled for the last day of the month. **In an interview with Colonel C. | C. Todd, a graduate of Texas A and M in the class of 1897 and a former commandant of the Col lege who is attorney for the plam- tives in-the case, it was revealed that the chief issue of the case rests on constitutional isterperta- tion and that the citisens nrho signed the petition demanding ad mission of their daughters to A apd M College are seeking what they consider their rights under the constitution of the State of Texas. Colonel Todd stated that Texas A and M College and the negro college at Prairie View were found ed prior to the adoption of the state constitution and the subse quent establishment of • state University. However, when provis ions were aiadc for Texas Univer sity it was decided that A and M College should be regarded as a branch of that institution and that its purpose should be the teach iag of the agricultural and me chanical arts to the industrial classes. The plaintivee will pro bably build their case around the contention that worngp are a part of the industrial class.
