Sometimes the fund can be used to' get an artide of Uniform or book for a needy student who could not get it otherwise. Tim Admin- istratorn ef tw fund will at all times appreciate suggestion* from students as to’how the fund maybe used for maximum benefit to stu dents or to a student in greatest need. All the money the students give will be designated to this fund. The faculty members will add other money to the fund. Of course the fund is small when it comes to help a student body as large as the one at A and M, but by wf se use pf these funds much constructive work can be done during the year. We would not embarrass the students in any way givAig to this fund. Contribution will be entirely voluntary. The College Comraunity Chest will appreciate any response given by the students. If the sta dents should give five cents each, that would mean $160. We do not be lieve it will hurt or embarrass any student ta give that tnudh.

With their uniforma immaculate, th«*in instruments shined, and their formations effortlessly smooth the cadet musicians have proved themselves a splendid advertisement for A and M.< The < olor of re views, parades, and lunch' formations is to be greatly intensified with the appearance of this unit. Thus we seek to commend, and to compliment! Praise is not our sole idea, however. This standard of performance is a challenge to the whole corps. If every company, if every troop, and if every battery were as well aware of the importance of a good appearance, as is this band, we feel sure that the military stock of this institution would skyrocket to one hundred per cent improvement Better Food! That the improvement of meas hall diahes over last year's standard has escaped any individual, we are reluctant to believe. Meats and salada are undenmbly better! With the acquisition of a better corps of cooks, and with the installation of new .equipment, “bullneck” and “rabbit” have received unprecedented popularity. Although maintenance fees were raised this year, the correspond ing rise in food prices more than offsets the additional student expense, and subsistence authorities are thus deserving of our good favor. Students may encourage the accentuation * of this improvement by a simple, but sufficient, move. They may help us to provide more money for mess hall use by refraining from the practice of “caiyyiog out mesa hall property.
