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.

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. They’ve “been through the pull” and know what they’re talking about. , 0S‘° ,0 ON cswts. THt-r never j*Y NERVES ... AND, BOY, HOW GOOD THEY TASTE!
