This alone is responsible for the resentment that is met when the subject of honor! societies is brought up bofore those who condemn sny action of the collqge to make it possible for the inroad or the establishment of these national chapters at A and M. National Honor Societies are not in any jway connected with na tional social fraternities. Honor societies do 'have Greek letters but there isn’t any semblance of a social fraternity or any of the things that might be a part of a fraternity of tha social order in the entire charter of the honor societies. The only |pal difference I**tween the present Scholarship Honor Society of the college and the national hon or aocieties is that of the scope ia which they are known. In the State of Texas and other neighboring states possibly, the name of Texas A and M College stands aldne as a recommendation and a compliment to the man who is a graduate of this institution But beyond the boundaries of Texas and, with the exception of the few states who know the ability usually fodnd in a graduate of Texas •Assistant Circulation Manager Assistant Circulation Manager Aadiatant Circulation Manager 8 ' eMad Leutenint Cc«. frering that the cadet colonel was unable to eat without assistance, has made it his mealtime duty to leave his assigned table to join the select ^roup on the staff table.

Itt Aimee McPherson Is Refused Permission To Speak At U of W Since every student will concede that we need a new auditorium for the presentation of movias and plays, why cannot we. the students, make the first move toward securing that auditorium? By starting a fund for the purpose of constructing a student assembly hall, we can undoubtedly convince the ex-students that we are genuinely interested, and thereby enlist their aid in the undertaking. Benefit shows are too touchy |o be authorised with- given for all purposes, so why not give them for our auditorium fund? ou t due eoneideration.’' SEATTLE.

Aimee Sample McPherson, famous woman evangelist, was scheduled to sd dress rk-ently on the Univer sity of Wash mgton campus, “are '•auditorium tax’ weakly shows' ; rogram during the dance, consisting of songs, stunts, and dsnees. This is the first time S C W ha* given an entectaitiment of this sort at A and M and marks the beginning of a new era of friendliness be tween the two schools.' Having more in common than any other two colleges in the state, A and M and S C W represent the largest boys' s'ktol and the largest g els’ school in the South. Probably never before hare a grown of entertainers from mother college gone miles to offer a short pro gram during a dance. A typical example of the respect each school has for the other, this C otton Hall wi'l be a step in the history of each school. S f W should feci hmo'-ei in being allowed to entertain at the Cotton Ball, one of the affairs of the year, and students should realize that other colleges have recognized the talent and originality in the entertainments offered by this college. ~S C W LASSO Discussion of the subject is fine for bringing it to the student*' A and M. merely saying that you are a Texaa A and M graduate moans attention, but now is the time for action if we are ever to get out of very little to the one whom you might be trying to make known your j our present antiquated structure.

This is very unfair to those who spend four years in obtaining a technical course, of which there are very few in this country equivalent (o. and Chen be denied their right ful place because they haven’t had a charted to become a memU-r of a national honor society. It is apparent that the officials of the col lege are taking a step backward for the college when they vote dawn sock a me .fare, and are doing the graduates of this institution a great injustice which should lie corrected when they do so. «-There aie many advantages of natiortal hon >r «ocietic< other than the benefit given the graduates. A national honor society would ‘ tend to increase the academic standing of each individual student from tha effort they would make to become eligible for membership in the society. This alone is great enough reason for the establishment of such chapters here, and would help greatly in the elimination of rngny of the harmful practices now present on the cahupus. For those who are afraid that national honor societies might be an inroad for social fraternities, should be Able to see that no yeUup of any social order could possibly exist • when student opposition to * such organisations is great enough to extinguish any effort made in 'that direction. Advantages to be had by the college and its students are so great that it seems impossible that any group of men so vitally interested in the progress of Texas A and M College as th* Hoard of Directors could possibly vote such a movement down. ‘ This movement has already received the backing and indorsement of the Student Welfare Committee, which consists of 14 faculty mefn bers, one senior from each Battalion, a representative from the junior, sophomore, ami freshman classes, and the Cadet Colonel and Editor of The Battalion as ex-officio members. Varidus ex-student Clubs have gp- proved the same plan. As students of A and M who have the interest of the College and welfare of its students at heart as much as anyone who ever attende this great institution, we only ask that you give this question or move ment your unprejudiced attention, and then *e won't doubt as to the outcome of the movement. This was Vice President David Thompson’s explanation for his re fusal to allop plans for the meet ing to go ahead. He said he had not been notified in time that the evangelist was to speak to con sider the Bustier carefully.

' ■ An ex-atudents association is to ita school what a father ia to his family—•something that struggles in an unheralded way to carry-out a much more important duty than it is given credit for. The purpose aad aims of the A and M Former Students Aaaociation bear out ita ite- portaace: to help A and M students by forming loan funds; and to help A and M by keeping alive the friendships and contacts of college days. We should be especially proud of our Former'BttoMate Associa tion—it is a body of men that is known throughout the country for ita school loyalty and spirit, and for the lasting friendship of its member*. The meeting of the Alumni Workers Conference held her* last week was a demonstration of the work being carried on by graduates of our southern colleges. One of the two type* of ex-students attendod —the typ^ that quietly goes about the business of improving his alma mater. The other type—represented by the street-corner loafer who flunked out bis sophomore year—stayed at home where he would have more attentive listeners to hear his gripes. Let us respect the advice of those that were here last week. Not only does their advice deserve respect—we need it.
