TEXAS, OCTOBKR 24, Corps Will Parade In Austin . Before Thanksgiving Grid Game <• n Letters From Mayor and Chief of Police at Austin Persuade Seniors to Make Second Corps Trip to University. A Meood Corps Trip, for this ymr, to he mod* to Austin for th* Thnnksffirinff feme between A mod )( and Texas University, was una nimously favored by tha Senior Clase in s meetin* held Friday af ternoon in the Aeeembly Hall. , Previously, when official trip- have been made to Austin, the Corps has been hampered in its parading by an excess of traffic, however such difficulty this year will not be sustained, according to word received from Austin city officials. « Writing to Dr. Walton, President of th* College. Mayor Tom Miller, and General W. W. Sterling, of the Austin Chamber of Commsrce. made assurance that Congress Avenue would be cleared for th* cadet review. On casting their final vota, the seniors, Friday, were unanimous in an agreement to accept th* in vitation. In a diacunjion, before th* voting, some objection was made by a few students in light of the possibility that a large number of cadets might be financially able to make only one trip, and thus, in choosing Austin over Dallas, or Dallas over Austin, would allay the effectiveness of both parades by their absence. This idea was short Uvod, however, as other students convinced the objectors that the holiday season of Thanksgiving would encourage th* majority of students to leave the campus any way. Mayor Miller was especially en thusiastic iu his invitation to the Corps: / / “I believe it has been four yesun now since the City of Austin, and its visitors on that day, have had the pleasure of viewing this splen did parade, und I am frank to say that I believe that aext to th* game itself, the parade adds mors to the gaety of this gala day than every thing else.” WED BY u K-DET KAPERS By BILL BRADFORD Editor* How: Sin** BUI Bradford writ#* tfci# column, hta umm ao*or nppror* koto t but m Incident which happened la B*y*a the Sunday before tact dwerro* mention While beraobeeb ridtas with Mh* Lu cille Vtek.

Washington,—A plea to the gov ernment to wipe the smear of de pression and drought from the ns tioh’s schools was exp^-ted to net 326,000,000 in federal aid for edu rational rehabilitation purposes. In conference with Federal Re lief Administrutor Harry L. Hop kins and Secretary of the Interior Ickes, spokesmen of the National Council of State School Superin tendents and Commissioners of Education set the relief figure necessary to keep distressed schools open during the 1934-35 school year at 125,000,000 The federal money would vir tually put American education “on ita feet” and would dispel the un savory picture of closed schools and curtailed activity.
