AGGIES TO BATTLE LONGHORNS THURSDAY
CADETS WILL NOT PARADE DURING AUSTIN CORPS TRIP
Tonight’s Traditional Bonfire
Will Reveal Loyal Aggie Spirit
Aggie's Hopes, Fears, and
Dreams To Be Bared
At CereaMMiy
By Tea Brow*
One of the moot indelible tradi
tions of the Araiea is their bon
fire each year before their mnerb
on Texas U in football.
' Just at the approach of dusk
,the taro-story heap of lumber, col
lected by freshmen weeks in ad-
vance. is touched off As its flam
es lick upward into the rathering
gloom, cadets group around it to
attend the elaborate "bull session'’
concerning the coming football
battle with our ancient riral, Texas
U. During it is bared the Aggies’
hopes, fears, and dreams about
football. The coach is there to tell
us all our chances—to reassure us
that our army will march however
badly whipped, that although it
has been torn end its personnel
sore in body, every heart will fight
until the final pistol, no muscle
shall be idle for lack of spirit to
command H. Several members >pf
the faculty are there watching—
perhaps envying, perhaps wonder
ing. Wondering what irresponsible,
hog-wild young hearts can betray
the quality of loyalty so shame
lessly and sincerely. Several ex
students are there to recapture a
moment or two of a carefree, hap
py past—maybe a few throats
grow lumpy when "Farmers Fight”
rolls up to heaven with the smoke
and flame of the fire, but there is
no shame.
This year the bonfire will be
held tonight. There will be nothing

Colonel Mitchell was especially
leclarative of his disappointment

n Austin would be a fine thing,”
he asserted, “and I regret deeply
hat it must be withheld.” ^
Pointing out that his office, on

tudents to leave early Wednes-

hat such permission being final,

ugard the senior approval of Sun-

tudents had already been granted
cave Wednesday prohibited a pa-
ade, because a sufficient number
if cadets would not, of their own
ree will, have reported in Austin,”
le emphasised.
Colonel Mitchell stressed the
point that a parade staged by only
