Hr c Battalion Makes Arrangements for Tea To Be Served Daniels, LaRoche , Editor Pat Daniels and Sports Editor Clarence LaRoche of The Daily Texan will not naffer because of minainir their after-supper tea, it was announced today by The Battalion. V Arran*ementn have been made to sene tea to' the two Texas stu dents when they come here to cover the I/onsthont-Afnrie basktfaall game Saturday night Cliff Hotard, supervisor of subsistence, has agr" .] to serve tea and trimmin’s to the two journal-*— ista between halves. Commenting on the arrange ments, “Jeep” Oates, Battalion sports editor, said, “It really hart Cuebell and me way down deep in side to consider tea-nippers having to go without their beverage while they’re over here in the wilder ness. So we got it arranged for them. I think I’ll serve the ten my self." The two men will attend the game in the hope that one of then will write the story for The Bat talion In accordance with a bet between Daniels and R. L. Doan, Battalion editor. They have agreed that if A. A M. wins, either Doss or Oaten will write the story for both papers. and if Texas wins, either Daniels or LaRoche mill write the yarn. Daniels recently said. The sol- ! . r t* y editor is going to give the other Boy Scouts a great shock by allowing a white man to fwrita the story of the game. With the bas ketball team basking us up, the Texan readers have nothing to fear, from the kid^H Igjita.* ' This,” replied Dots, “is about Urn biggest bond of junk to come out of Daniels' warped brain to date. We don’t eiixnt to be forced to allow him to write the story. In spite of the loss of Holland and Dwyer ffom our squa^'I expect the Aggie team to come through with a wbi."

Of the answers, S4.4 per cant favored the high school student, 3S.4 per cent the college graduate. Of the remaining answers, 14J per cent said it depended on the man and (or) the experience; 9.7 per cent indicated that an experienced man war hotter at ffcwt, the college man better later; and 24 per cant showed that the college man gets the breaks, regardless of merit "Don't know" came from 4J per cent. Thus O'third of the nation’s fam ilies believe that a college man is better upon graduation than a high whool man with four years of ex porience.
