Good advice, too, and some to 1 which I expect to cloitely adhere throughout this article; because, if ever an Aggie needs an “easy out,” it’a when he is discussing our sistev school. T. S. Q. W. Believe it or not, the number <>f Aggies who have never been to S% C. W. is nearly as great as the number that have been there; and, I am sorry to say, at the present time I am-on • of the former group. But not for long—because, if the tales and legends that I have heard of Denton land are even partly true, then we luckle*« Aggies who have never been there * have yet to live life in the fallestL Frankly, I was not aware that there Were three thousand beautiful girls in the entire world, yet one Aggie would have me believe that there are that many oa the T.

I have become thorough ly saturated with the idea that Der> ton is a “wonnerful” place—and not because of any Chamber of Commerce improvements, either, but strictly be- . cause the T. S. C. Wiles are so much * in evidence. Like a few hundred other Aggies who have never been to Den- land, I’m darn curious! I have two friends who are equally as curious. - If the powers-that-be can’t bring T. C. W\ to the Brasos bottoms, we thro- are going to take our curiosity Den- Wmward and pay the gals a visit. We have heard, of course, the tale of the cat and the bloody effects curiosity had on it, but—if we haven’t* been wholly misled—an Aggie at Denton should fare considerably-better than the proverbial cat. At the preoent time there are nearly six thousand ' cadets enrolled at A. A M . and ut least half of -this number have visited Denton at one time or another. Thrvt , thousand Aggies CANT be wrong— T.
