If it was the girl’s first time in a beauty contest, it was certainly the boys’ first time in a judge’s capacity. However, they showed all the signs of liking their job. A. & M. boys on the Cotton Ball committee who made the se lection included Percy Bennett, Ray Stephenson, Harry Forbes, Wesley Seay, Johnny Rice, Bob Stone, and Byron Bing. Others in the party included Tilden Easley of the Agronomy Department, Mrs. L. L. Fouraker, director of the Cotton Pageant, Mrs. J. S. Mog- ford, and Bob Nisbet. When the A. & M. group first arrived on the campus, introduc tions were made, and the boys and girls mingled together in the reception room of the junior dorm itory, Brackenridge Hall, getting acquainted. Then the boys clear ed a space in the room, found themselves a vantage spot for their judging, and had the girls “per form.” Each girl paraded before this set of critical eyes, flashed her best personality smile, and took her seat to await the all-important decision of the judges. When it had been announced and the win ner congratulated and photograph ed, Mrs, Fouraker took the girls to a corner and held a session about clothes and plans in general. That being all the business, the girls returned to their studies and the boys started home. Election— (Continued from page 1) In the semester preceding the elec tion he must have passed at least three-fifths of a normal semester’s work.” Qualifications of each candidate for the editorship will be judged by the Student Publications Board prior to his being declared eligible to make the race. As is traditional, the two junior yell-leaders, Clarence J. “Foots” Bland and Ernest R. “Buster” Keeton, are expected to run for chief yell-leader. Last year both a junior and a senior representative to the Stu dent Publications Board were elected; but this was not a regu lar procedure, being necessitated by the death of Jack Puckett, who had served as junior representa tive. Customarily the junior repre sentative (who this year is Paul Haines) becomes the senior rep resentative the following year. Adjustable to any angle, a new copy holder for typists is equipped with an electric light to illuminate the copy and is shielded to save users from eye strain. First Baseman Jimmy Foxx, of the Boston Americans, has made 35 or more home runs every sea son for the last seven years. UT Co-ed Recovers Swiped Megaphone From The Daily Texan Head yell-leader Jimmy Graves was rather surprised when, stand ing in front of S.R.D., Jane Gid- ley, freshman student from Lytle, walked up to him and asked, “Want something, Jimmy?” That “something” turned out to be the megaphone that an Aggie freshman had stolen from Jimmy after the Thanksgiving day game at College Station. Miss Gidley saw the opportunity to get back the stolen megaphone when she attended the Coast Ar tillery Ball at A. & M. last week end. Sunday morning Miss Gidley was sitting in Bizzell Hall listening to a few Aggies brag about a fish’s feat of stealing the mega phone from Graves. To further Miss Gidley’s morti fication (she being a loyal Texas rooter), the Aggies brought the ’phone from hiding and handed it to her for close inspection. As she sat looking at the orange and white colored ’phone, she “sud denly had an urge to depart with it.” She reached Aggieland Inn with the megaphone under her arm before three “fish” overtook her and managed to take it from her grasp back to Bizzell Hall. After a short interval, some up perclassmen brought the ’phone and their deepest apologies to Miss Gidley. They told her that it was all a mistake and that it was “a fish who didn’t know any better” who had perpetrated the dastardly deed. So would Miss Gidley kindly convey the megaphone back to Jimmy Graves and give him their deepest apologies and regrets? And that’s how the U. of T. re covered its missing megaphone. R. Y. Court— (Continued from page 1) king’s guard, composed of ten jun iors, will then resume positions on each side of the aisle and with drawn sabers will present an arch of swords for the Queen to walk under. Upon arriving at the base of the throne, the Queen will kneel, and the King will descend from the throne and place the crown on her head. They both will then ascend to the throne together and be seated. A floor show for the amusement of the court immedi ately follows the Coronation of the Queen. The floor show will be followed by the Grand March and the Queen’s Ball. At 1:30 Friday afternoon the R. V.’s will have their traditional drill which will be reviewed by the sponsors Col. George F. Moore, Lt. Col. R. L. Christian, Lt. Col. O. E. Beezley, Major H. M. Wood ward, Major L. S. Stickney, Major CITY COUNCIL ACTS ON PHONE, UTIUTIES ISSUES Southwest Telephone Co. Awarded Franchise At a recent meeting of the City Council of College Station, sever al important issues, which have been held pending for some three or four weeks, were passed upon. The telephone franchise, present ed by the Southwest Telephone Company sometime ago, was ac cepted by the Council. The com pany expects to have all of its new equipment installed by June 15, 1940. The date of expiration of the franchise was set as Jan uary 1, 1955. The Council also voted to ap prove the purchase of the College Park Utilities, a topic which has been under discussion for several weeks. At the first of last month, the Council reached an agreement with the Oakwood Realty Company and the Southside Development Company regarding the purchase of the Oakwood System by the City of College Station. The city desires these utilities in order that they may be brought under the direct control and man agement of the city authorities. The system includes lights, water, sewage lines, and a sewage dis posal plant. For the time being, at least, the rates on lights and water will remain as they are, how ever, it is the belief of the Council that the rates will not be raised, and, if anything, probably lower ed. A future source of income will be derived from the management of these utilities, but it means a present indebtedness. Other issues which were approv ed by the Council at the meeting were the contract with the City of Bryan for the sale of water within the limits of College Station and the setting aside of $300 for road maintenance in College Station. W. R. Irvin, Major R. E. Hill, and Captain B. S. Shute. After the drill the Queen will go through the memorial ceremony of plac ing a wreath on the statue of Law rence Sullivan Ross for whom the honorary military organization was named in 1891. From 3 till 5 p. m. there will be a tea dance in honor of the Princess at Mrs. Parker’s Tea Room in Bryan. The Captain’s Ball will take place Friday night following the dinner given in his honor from 7 till 9 oclock. “Dan” Sharp is R. V. captain. Al Kavelin and his orchestra, who is now playing at the Baker Hotel’s Mural Room in Dallas, will play for both the Queen and Captain’s Ball. He will play for the Corps Dance Saturday night to which everyone is invited. A. & M. Opens Net Season With Win Over Colorado U.

Our Eas ter candies are just what you want to give . . . and just what most everyone wants to get! Choose from our assortments. CANADY’S Pharmacy Bryan In response to a recent editorial by one of Aggieland’s recently en rolled students, “Frog” Watson, the “Frogs” of the graduating class of 194314 will hold their first class meeting tonight in the chapel of the Y. M. C. A. build ing. The meeting will begin at seven o’clock, and will be held for the purpose of organization, elec tion of class officers and discus sion of plans for future activities of the class. According to the open letter in spiring the organization, the aim of the Frogs is, “To promote en terprises such as plays, beauty contests, dances (where the sen iors would be our guests) and many other things which would increase and build to our school spirits.” After class officers are elected, various committees will be ap pointed to work out the activities upon which the class will decide. It is thought that the meetings of the “Frogs” will greatly aid them in making friendships and in orienting themselves on the cam pus. M-IUL ASNUAVMA IIAU Directed by G«orfl« B.
