Let's take inventory. ; j [ ; 't | j / 0 We confidently beleive that A and M is one of the best colleges in the United States. We claim that it takes a real mpn, and a gentleman to make a success here.. We know that the eyes of the world appraise our graduates in a favorable manner. J ■ Our excellent military rating oar beautiful campus our wonderful academic status. These things and more, we pour smugly in to our thought bucket every day, and then drench cursives from head to foot with egotistic splashes. * Oh, but can we use a dinner fork correctly? Can we speak confi dently and fluently to our elders? Can we express,ourselves clearly to our brother Aggies? Though confident of our prowess as a group, are we sure of ourselves as individuals? Though we make “A’s" in our course, can are interpret our knowledge to everyday life ? • Yea, let us take inventory! We are proud of ourselves as a group, but as single personalities most of os art mental Otherwise, we should have had the courage toi do away with baa ing in all its forms a long time ago. If not, wo should move of our own volition, instead of looking from left to right to see whst the rest of our brothers are doing. Deviying, are should ram s steel rod doam the rubber tube of our stringy spines. Do you use the library? What for to read the funnypapars? Do you study your engineering journals?

E. McQuiUon, Secretary, Ex-Students Association Campos. V.f; 1F Dear Mr. McQuillen: With a bunch of boys bade on the campus, I am reminded of the numerous times visitors from Washington, D. C. and from over the country have remarked about the rather unusual custom of students giving a -howdy- or a nod to strainers they meet on the campus. Visitors like H. I have wondered if it is a part of the suggestions to now students. It ought to be, I think. Yours truly, M. R. Bentley Extension Agricultural Engineer Campus Little Theatre dramatically iz of the Campus Little Students and faculty members who feel will do well to enlist themselves as members of Theatre Club. Providing opportunity for dramatic practice for all interested, one or more abort plays, selected from the best of modem American drama, are enacted at each meeting of the club (every alternate Tuesday). At Home time during the year, one play—possibly two—will! be presented in the Assembly Hall for the entertainment of the entire student body. Included in the program for this year are plays of both the serious and comedy type, and effort being made to croee portion the whole of modern drama. Interested persons are urged to present themselves to Professors C. O. Spriggs or J. Q. Hayes for furthor information. j ! SHCOOL SCOOPS When Texas goes to Sooth Bend te play Notre Dame Sat, Oct. 8, a special train will carry fans and ex-students of Texas and Rice who will also take in the World’s Fair as well as the Rice-Purdue game at Lafayette, Ind.

Its advantages so com pletely overshadow its disadvantages, that we feel compensated for any educational loss we sustain while here. But this confident belief should in no wise permit us to loaf through college unthii&iagiy. The academic advantages are all here opportunities smiling at our open (or closed?) door. The cultural advantages are here also. So far, however, few of us hart had the good sense to know it Jimmie Cantrell and Steve Math ews of East Texas, two stodents who have taken an interest in the affairs of the government sad age majoring in this subject, will write a series of articles to appear ia The Daily Texan. These hoys have spent several dollar* ia collecting data for this sense and anyone in terested in government affaire will benefit from having read their work. . A Fighting Team We’ve get a team that'll never salt. ' That game Saturday waa a bone-crushing, muscle-snappiag, bull dog tussle. Feet digging hard into the ground lightning runs to the left, right, and front, always ending in a solid knot of struggling ma roon and blue, abort, million-pound thrusts at the line, compacting its participants together in a firm hard ball squeezing them so that finally color squirts in every direction. Punts drives yells two human machines smacking at each other with every ounce of pow er available. Nerve* red satin drive, drive, drive charge grit, grit, grit. Ia the second quarter we saw men come from behind in the fourth quarter w* saw men come from behind. And then we saw them make the most soul-stirring attempt to climb ahead that any Aggie was over privileged to witness. We heard the Coach between the halves. Calm, confident, and re assuring. No blustering. No badgering. Calm and sensible. We heard mistakes described in the most stimulating way possible, and without harsh criticism. We beard his voice gradually take on fire; we heard It leap and jab; until finally every loyal nerve under that maroon satin was leaping at ita bounds strung, and aching with honest enthusiasm to grind every blue-suited man in the dust. Yet that Coach was calm he knew they were going te fight He let them go. And they exploded from tho dressing room like shots, from a cannon. The Coach was right They did fight They ground themselves ag ainst a veritable emc.ry wheel gritted their teeth and came back for more. They battered their bodies to pulp. Butted and remated dug .and dug, and du£ Men take off your hats! Saturday’s game was a firs that by bow ought to have cooked every bit of your indifference to smoke . and lighted your Aggie spirit into'a flagrant, eternal thing, that frill never flicker as long as you walk this earth. Spirit Aggieland’s flaming and loyal spirit lives on and on in the hearts of all its sons: ' The Editor received a letter that had traveled some distance this week; part of it should interest the readers.

For me, this year's idea has ‘been: an ago of grant aad rapid production ot goeda, by powerfsl new machines, needs an economic Mt-up different from tho baeiasae arrangement that werked pretty well ia sa age of small aad alow production by erode eld machines. 1 To pot it another way: Up to hbout 1920, our problem waa to produce enough goods. • Along about 1920, that problem W*s solved. You enigneers solved ' It by Inventions. We can now produce, with tho litsst' —duaory, plenty of goods. Since 19-0 the problem has been te get the goods into the hands of those who need them, as fast Ss they are produced. This means changes, not in machinery nay ttiors,' but iS the economic system. To put it a third way: From the beginning, tp to about 1920, waa the Age ot Scarcity. We couldn’t produce enough to go around. Com petition was the natural though ci-uel and wasteful, way of de termining who would get this in- adeqsute product and who would gn without.
