National Honor Societies
One of the most apparent mistakes made when thinking of national
honor societies at Texas A and M is that of associating them with na
tional social fraternities. 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

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.’'

Aimee Sample McPherson, famous

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.

/# Why murt the graduates of this institution allow graduates of in
ferior schools to step higher than they merely because of ; the member-
ship in a national honor society of which tile employer recognizes be
cause of the by-laws of the society? 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.

Former Students’ Association
A. ' ■
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.
