THE BATTALION
■TUESDAY, MARCH 19, 1940.
Cotton Ball—
(Continued from page 1)
vous under such careful scrutiny
by a group of Aggies, but the boys
themselves were not so composed,
either. 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

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.

king’s guard, composed of ten jun

each side of the aisle and with
drawn sabers will present an arch

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.

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.

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.
