president of the Texas Cotton Improvement Association. Both mea
bad attended the Business Advtaory CoupciJ meeting at Houston, at
Which the marketing and" exporta

Itr, and Colonel George F. Moore,

'ter an iniroduction by Colonel
Moore, Secretary Roper spoke to
the entire corps over the kMd-|
speaker system. In his speech,
which was undosbltedly the begt
one that haa even been given in
the mesa hall, Mr. Roper told the

were before them and of their
duties to their country. -
After having dinner at the heme

Officers of College
Station Nominated;
Election for Nov* 28
Dr. J. H. Binney was nominated
for mayor of College Station laat
Friday night at a meeting held by
the citixena of the newly incor
porated town of College Station in
the Chemistry lecture room. The
meeting was held for the purpose
of nominating a mayor and also
to determine wbo should act as
Aldermen.
The race for the candidacy of
mayor was clone with L. P. Gab
bard running second. After the
nomination of mayor, the body
nominated an Alderman at large,
that is, a man who would represent
the choice of all sections of College
Station. Mr. Gabbard was nom
inated and won the position.
The meeting body then split up
into groups representing the four
different sections of College Sta
tion and voted on the Alderman
from their section. In the Collage
Park area, G. J. Samuelson, in
structor in the chemistry depart
ment wss elected. Oakwood is to
be represented by J. W. Wilcox,
professor of education. In the
North area the vote was in favor
of A. Mitchell, and in the last
tion, the campus, L. G. Jones was
given the nod. Mr. Hopper wai
nominated for the position of Mar
shall of College Station.
These nominations do not limit
the voters’ choice to only one can
didate, as it was stated at the
meeting that to enter another man
ia the race for any position, all
that was necessary was to have
five per cent of those who voted
ia the last election to sign a peti
tion in their candidate's favor and
his name would be included on the
ballot. It was also stated that one
hundred people voted in the last
election and that five people would
constitute the required five per
cent.
The official election will be held
oh the 28th of this month.

Practice in Astronomy Offered by
Physics Instructor is Popular
BY E. A SHIELDS ,
This year, for the first time in
the history of Texaa A. A M ,
students have been given a chance
to practice astronomy.
Dr. E. F. Weeks of the Physics
Department is directly responsible
for this. At the first of this year
a course was offered in astronomy,
but was cancelled because of lack
of interest. However, Dr. Weeks
thought there should be more ifa-
tereat than that in astronomy. He
put two telescopes on the roof of
the Physka Building, and made an
announcement in the Battalion
that anyone interested ia astrono
my could come over to the Physics
Building on Wednesday night at
7:30 and use the telescopes. There
was a good turn-out and it «
decided to eontinue the meetings
through October. Sim* then, how
ever, there has been so much in
terest shown that the meetings will
be continued through November,
and possibly December if the wea
ther permits.
The meetings last about an hour.
Dr. Weeks helps the students lo
cate objects and points out many
interesting facta. They look at
planets, moons, stars, constella
tions, nebula, and the like. Many
interesting things can b« observed,
and on the whole, tha meetings
are very interesting.'
These gatherings ant open to
all studente, and even outsiders.

to come over on Wednesday night
