Assistant Circulation Manager Unhealthy Conditions Thrice-breathed air is not very healthy for respirstional uses. The Assembly Hall is no modern show-house, but it serves the purpose well as far as vision of the stage and seating arrangement go. However, there is more to a show-house than merely furnishing the audience with a place to sit and something to look at. It must be provided aith certain necessary conveniences for the audience. Air is one of these necessary conveniences; where-ever one is, he must breathe. Large sums are spent by professional show-houses on air- conditioning. Provision for the circulation of clean, breathable air in a crowded room wherein hundreds of people must sit together for two or three hours at s time is no easy matter, but it is vitally necas- aary for the health of every individual who attends the show. .When sticky, foul air, tainted with tobacco smoke and cold germs, must be endured while watching a show, disease is easily transferred from one to many. The sir we breathe goes far into our bodies and contacts directly with our blood stream. The easiest source of infec tion is through the air we breath. To keep healthy, we must breath clean air. The Assembly Hall, at night, makes an ideal show house, for the j, windows are opened wide and the air is kept circulating freely. But the day shows, which necessitate the closing of the paintbd windows in order to make the h<tase dark enough for the presentation of the pictures, are stifling with their foul sir. Of course, there have been j attempts to suppress smoking in these shows, but there are always a certain per-cent of every group that refuse to cooperate. It is not for the students of A anti M to rondemn the sponsors of these day shows, because they give several free shows, for which the students should be, and are, very grateful. The reason for this item is not to berate, but to bring about some realization of tht conditions existing. -H Looks like old times to see fal lows as “KRAEPPER" NEAL, ‘BLACK JACK” JOHNSON, and IKE LOWENSTEIN strolling over .he campus—also looks like soi good news for the BLUE GOOSE. We’re wondering what “DUTCH” DILLINGHAM Is going to do now that “DUKE” SUGAREFF has taken the matrimonial bow. Who were the sweet young things that gave NEWT GILLILAND the moniker of “NOOKSY”—Speaking of Newts reminds us of the petition that the Consolidated School Girls got up to keep Newt Heilacher as their teacher when It looked like some other part-time student would begin coaching the Consoli dated girls—looks like “NOOK8IE” to me, tsk, tsk,—we're told that young “ROSEBUD” LILLEK- STERN developed into a three- year football letlerman up at Bay lor Belton last week-end, and cap tain of the team too, until "ON- SKI” McLEOD put the innocent ung things wise te such a wise guy. Here’s a grin for “Hotwater” Keeling—wonder why John “GOS- UN” OTTS and LITTLE WILLIE STOCKTON, of the Serenaders, yes, have to give such uncompri- mising promises to the mothers of their dates to take them to church each Sunday night? Aggie Football coaching stock - ►eems to be riding the tide after the announcement that CAL HUB BARD and MANNING SMITH will be the assistant-coaches to HOMER NORTON—and with RAY MURRAY retained as assistant coach in football, basketball and track, things even look brighter— speaking of basketbab—we're bet ting our last nickel that JOE MER- KA and his elongated mates bring home our first flag during our four years as an “AGGIE”—this boy MERKA certainly has been drawing the space in outside pap ers—one even said he was the .’hampion dominoe and checker player—imagine the “F” Company ooys* embarassment. Who was the C E student that made the crack yesterday morn ing that he was going to build a wire fence around the M E build ing to keep the chickens from get ting out—FATHER LUSE said he knew some E E ’s who would like to do the same thing—and I know some M E’s who weren’t opposed to the idea. Saw the one and only real snoop^ er last night, LEWIS GROSS—if he stays in school, you lads of the lowly doings had better look twice before any breaks are made— Another ’34 man back in school, CY “HAIRY” WILSON—JACK ROBERTS is the donor of the moniker. Congrratulatipns The Battalion wishes to extend congratulations to Jacob Metager, who was married to Miss Margaret Allen, of Dallas, ea New Year’s Day. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Allen, 4423 Dickason Avehue, and is a graduate of North Dallas High School. Metzger is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Dave Metzger, Holmes Street Road, Dallas. He is s student in Market ing and Finance and a mem ber of “A" Troop Cavalry. The couple were married in Rockwall, Texas.

BEN BOW Dentist Office over First State Bank Phone: 275 or 636 Bryan please remember that some of us are still so old-fashioned and “coun try” that we really enjoy it—your loud shouts of disapproval quite ef fectively interfere with our good time. You see . . we only ask for a little consideration . . . . s little thought or two in our direction. We would reeliy like to react toward films the way you do (because we love being sociable, and your expec tations are probably the'expressions of an artistic temperament), but somehow we just haven’t the capacity for it. Brown (pardon these intermittent allusions) suggested “construc tive” criticism! Well, suppose we have the M Y’' committee give two presentations of each film .... you attend one .... rave and rant . . . . shout, cuss and storm .... with no fear of our arailing . 1 . . Quietly and slowly, are’ll file into the other—happy as children in the thought that no peltering peanuts will come to knot the tender dermis of our effeminate skulls.
