Our Last Edition
With the completion of this issue of the Battalion, the
staff of this publication will have concluded its year’s work
under the present editorship in the student newspaper field.
Last week saw the circulation of our last comic magazine.
It has been the aim of this year’s staff to cbver all of the
news of the campus and present it in such a way as to be the
most desirable to the student body as a whole* and we feel
that we have done our best, even though the judgement as to
how well our task has been fulfilled lies within your hands.
Editorially, our ideas and beliefs might have been opposite to
many, but we have tried to look at the issues that have come
up during the year as unbiased as we might aiid have tried
to draw the conclusion which we thought-rifht and just,
whether it be the popular opinion or not. To thoge that might
have been offended during the year, and there have been
some, we hope that you have given the things on which our
conclusions differed as much thought as we hgve. We hope
there will be no prejudice or hard feelings hart>ored from the
expressions of that we thought just.
In our comic magazine we haven’t deviated-from the aim
that we sat before us at the starting of the school year in
our first edition. It was our aim to make the. magazine as
humorous as possible without falling below the line of moral
decency. To that end we have based ourfjregr’i work.
A new staff will take over the reins after this issue goes
to press—a staff whose publication should etcel ours and
one to wh^m we feel proud to turn our duties over. To this
staff our best wishes for a good publication and a good year,
and to the corps our appreciation in making oyir publication
a success.
bring nationally famous entertainers to the campus—an ac
count of which appears in this issue.
If this petition is successful as a movement, it will ini*
tiate one of the most commendable steps that the Corps has
taken in a long while. That Aggieland is somewhat lacking in
good entertainment has been evident for a number of years—
is proved by the difficulty with which the average science-
saturated cadet faces the social world on graduation.
The college is in full sympathy with this scheme, but it
s primarily a student movement. The only obstacle which
can prevent success of the movement will be student indif
ference. And, at that, only a thousand or twelve bundled sig
natures will be necessary on the petition. This will mean a
student fund of a thousand dollars or so (as each signer
guarantees to pay one dollar extra on matriculatidn next
fall). Student contributions would be supplemented by a sum
somewhat in excess of a thousand, made up from ticket sales
among the faculty and in Bryan. Students should note that
signers of the petition will be getting for one dollar what
will cost three dollars to non-student ticket holders, and five
or six dollars to people who buy separate admissions.
If the Corps accepts the idea, it is positive that (iuch en
tertainers as Will Durant, Herbie Kay, and Cab Calloway
will be obtained. Such an array of events—there *9 be at
least five—ought to be worth any student’s dollar, however
hard they are to get.
It will be a shame if the idea has to be abandoned, es
pecially when such programs are traditional at other Texas
colleges.
The movement is noble in purpose—we hope It will be
permanent in actuality.

PILL KEELING. A and M. we
imagine has received the following
note:
Dear Mr. Keeling:
Please refrain from mentioning
my name in connection with jacks
in College Sta-
of etne of the homes bordering the drill field.
‘ ^"‘Stdmeone standing on the sidewalk running directly in
ffbnt of the Law and Puryear Halls discharged a 30-30 Army
rtfle-'ni the way of celebration and the load from the rifle, I
after passing through a limb on a small tree ik front of the
hbrrtfe of Dr. Reeves, passed completely through his home and
at fe distance of only two feet above the bed in which the
occupants sleep. There is no doubt as to the fatality that
might have ; happened to the person or persons that might
have been so unfortunate to be in the path of such a powerful
bullet. J;
Buck a tragedy as might have occurred would have taken
.all of the glory out of the victory, and left an emptiness in
the family to netfer be fulfilled. It seems unnecessary to
dwell on a subject that is so obviously apparent.
• ...In order to prevent such a tragedy, there are other
means from which probably more enjoyment could be obtain
ed and no one’s life would be endangered. Why not resort to
that type next time the urge for a celebration is felt.
The place where the rifle waa fired was traced by means
of a ballistics expert and a transit instrument.

Student Welfare Committee
One of the outstanding student committees, and also one
that receives leas recognition from the student body than
any of the others, is the Student Welfare Committee. This
committee, which is composed of students selected from each
class, professors, dean of the college, and two ex-officio
members; has probably done more for the college students
this year than any other one group with student representa
tion.
This committee is open for any suggestion that might
affect the student body in any way, and from the accom
plishments already made through their efforts, we feel that
an expression of gratitude should be paid that group.
Probably the gn atest thing done by the committee this
year was that pertaining to the matter of entertainment for
the students over the week-end. The
night show on Saturday night, a Sunday
also for the reduction of the admission to the
twenty-five cents to fifteen cents were first
this committee. There are very few
general student welfare that haven’t had
with this committee.
There are numerous other small things
brought to the eyes of the college officials such as obtaining
a place for the hats in the Mess Hall and too many others to
.Li-
