f 1 'S. ' v By I. Maqine This little article i» probably m> imairinattvc that only thoM who <fream will enjoy it to the fuUeet extent. For the past three years the most consistent topic of {conversation, or in plain words “bull sessions,*’ has been the dreamers' idea of paradise, that is, the bodily moving of T.S.C.W, to a spot ihomewhera within a distance of five miles (or cleoer) to A* A M. I have to say three years because that is the length of time yours truly has attended here, but in all probability the idea has been circulating for many years. Just to get an idea of some of the happening^, good and bad, let's attempt to muster our dreams and see what won Id happen. One thing is certain,* that is the sprucing up of the corps, there would no longer be the “devil may care** atti tude about the uniform. There would be a run on the cleaning aryd pressing business. No, I have nothing.to do with that “racket”! But pants would be pressed and surely all Ot us can see the advantage in that respect. The trim shirts and .other such clothing would be thrown away. In general th** clothing business would see prosperity. There would be built a large dance hall, it would have to be large to take care of the crowd. The fact that more people would attend the dances would please the senior class. Per haps they could make money on all of their dances. The number of things that would be changed, materially, can be readily seen, hut right now let’s get Into the more in teresting changes that would take place. * The moon,* ah! that beautiful sphere would not waste its beams during IM week, only to be worked overtime on the weekends. The dull and uninteresting campus at night, would rise up to glorious heights and be forever* supreiqc * in the sky. Love stories would be told, new ones and old, the night would be filled with the sweetest of whispers, the braese* would carry the perfume of a thousand flow ers. and lovers would he brought together for ages, at least it would seem like ages after some of the hurried • trips that have beea accomplished by the ca4ats4 Gills at home would be forgotten, boys at home would be no longer important; four years of friendship to look forward to. Who, I ask, would neglect his or her duties to be sent holm* from such s paradise? It would be the mark of a moroa to leave such bliss for the dullness that other schools wopld offer. The oil saying that “an Aggie would leave two days ( early on a corps trip to Hell” wonld be buried and for gotten. for who would leave on weekends? Where would he go to find anything to match the pick of a thousand charms not five miles away? This idea would probably please the administrative officers of the college (the leaving on week- cads, I mean.) Instead of coming back from a weekend, one of those [ special weekends, ifful mooning around the.rocyn for hburs. even days, thtokhic about the marvelous time, one cpald look forward to th? next date without having «b think 1 of the expense, the cutting of classes, to be with the O. A.'O. T\ ,• > t* T ■ - * i i M: in I i . APRIL, 1931 rSi* ; J I ■ - . Pv you There would be no more unnecessary explaining to letfars.

Can pidtare knyone doing jaueh an outlandish thing? Why thht is jug about as much out of the question as this article itjMtf. - The intramural games would be played with new ivim vigor, for who would refuse a chance to “shine” Urfore wd of lovely ladies? There would be no more beghiag the bogy's to enter the sports, and the intramural depart- t woidd reach the height of importance. Maybe they get some decent equipment. How’s that for a plug.
