The average per capita cost of these
luncheons, based on an average of 74.5
is approximately 43.8c per mean, a loss
to the Dining Hall thus far of some
8.3c on each ticket sold. In order to avoid
further loss, the price of tickets will
have to be raised or the attendance
boosted to an average of approximately
100. The only other alternative, it seems,
is to discontinue the meetings.
Our next (and last???) luncheon will
be held Thursday, November 9; at that
time we shall have to decide whether to
try a “drive” for larger attendance or
merely discontinue the luncheon. So come
Thursday, if you can, and bring along
a solution, if you have one.

that an even larger number of
people will be on the campus than
would normally attend the football
game.
To provide conveniences for the
weekend’s many visitors, a plan
ning board consisting of Colonel
Ashburn and a group of college
officials have made plans to ac
commodate the crowd. Special
tables will be set for visitors at
11:00 o’clock and 1:00 o’clock in

the name of J. S. Byrnes, has
volunteered to come up and give
us a poetry reading,” Mr. Rosser
said. “I told him to come ahead,
but that I would not be responsible
for any uncouth noises that might
be made by our studio audience of
professional hecklers.”
On last Friday’s program, the
telephone in the studio was left

master of ceremonies and tele

is worth listening to.”

NYA Warns Against
Magazine Racketeers
A warning to the public to be
on guard against petty racketeer
ing by magazine sales persons who
allege in their sales talk they are
competing in a contest sponsored
by the N. Y. A. or are competing
for an N. Y. A. scholarship was
issued today by the National Youth
Administration.
Several employees of Federal
agencies in Washington have re
ported to the National Youth Ad
ministration they were approached
by salesgirls and asked *to buy
magazine subscriptions to help
the N. Y. A. provide scholarships
for needy students.
Similar representations by a
magazine sales crew in Pennsyl
vania made necessary issuance of
a notice by State N. Y. A. officials
that the National Youth Adminis
tration is sponsoring no magazine
subscription contest nor sales con
test of any kind.
National Youth Administration
officials characterized the misrep
resentations of magazine sales per
sons as a possible attempt by petty
racketeers to cash in on the “Job
Creation Contest” sponsored by
the N. Y. A. in Illinois which re
ceived national attention.
The instances of misrepresenta
tion which have come to the atten
tion of the National Youth Admin
istration are being investigated and
will be turned over to the proper
authorities for action.
Letter From Italy
Asks Baylor’s Aid
Dean E. N. Jones of Baylor Uni
versity revealed today a letter re
ceived from Venice, Italy, asking
for information on teaching pro
cedure in the Baylor school of bus
iness.
The information will be used in
the first annual meeting for the
development of technical-industri
al teaching in Italy and the first
exhibition of didactic motion pic
tures, the letter said.
“We are given to understand,”
one paragraph read, “that you dis
play a large action in preparing
'young people who intend devoting
themselves to economics activities
and to the organization of the pro
duction. We should like therefore
to get a wider knowledge of your
teaching activities.”

he explained, is used by radie men
to describe “any bum program in
volving more than two people.”

A. & M. Dames Club
Is Now Federated
Several years ago the number
of married students at A. & M.
became so great that their wives
decided to organize a club.
This club is designed to be a
friendly get-together to give the
ladies a chance to meet and know
each other. Usually a short pro
gram is presented. They bring their
sewing and after the program dis
cuss such things as new recipes
and beauty aids. That the ladies
positively do not gossip about their
husbands, it is reported!
The club is now federated and
as part of a national organization
is known as the Dames Club.
