though. Sugar is "saw-dust,” salt

Many Interesting Tales
Tales concerning these Aggie
food terms are as many as there are
Aggies to tell them but the best
ones are usually based on the sum
mer R. 0. T. C. camps. In all cases
these camps are majority-populated
by Texas Aggies and, as a result,
students from the nation’s other
land grant colleges are more or less
subject to close adherence to what
ever Aggie traditions the cadets
may decide to carry over at camp.
The result being: During the
first few days of each camp session
the out-of-staters are hard-put to
learning the Aggie food terms and
sometimes it’s as long as a week
before one of them gets a full meal.
The rule is that unless the food is
asked for by its correct moniker it
isn’t passed and many’s the time
that a non-Aggie has left his place
at the table, walked a few feet, got
the food he wanted, returned to his
place, and then helped himself.
Naturally, the rule doesn’t hold in
either of the two mess halls—
guests are accorded all courtesies
that a military training makes for.
Some More Statistics
Four hundred and sixty-six per
sons are employed in the two mess
halls; 246 of them being part-time
student employees who are thus en
abled to earn part of their college
expenses. The waiters are all stu
dents and they are so timed and
coordinated that they reach the
tables with hot food a few seconds
before the cadets. Only three min
utes is required to set the food on
the stable for the entire student
body and each waiter serves 24 stu
dents family style.
Wherever possible college grown
and college produced food com
modities are used. During the nine
months of the past long session
$116,000 was spent for dairy pro
ducts produced at A. & M.
Whatever your kitchen bill is for
a nine-month period, it probably
isn’t $766,269.05, but that’s what it
cost to feed the corps last year.
The cost of the food is amazingly
low and the quality is good enough
to satisfy the corps the year round
—and that’s saying plenty. Aggies
pay 23 cents a meal, which amounts
to 69 cents a day for food.
Here’s the menu for Friday, Oc
tober 18:
Breakfast: orange, dry cereal,
link sausage and fried eggs, hot
biscuits and butter, coffee, and
milk.
Dinner: roast beef, mashed pota
toes, candied carrots, clover club
salad, bread and butter, chocolate
pie, and iced tea.
Supper: fried fillet of sole, oven
lyonnaise potatoes, green peas, cel
ery and olives, hot rolls and butter,
tropical gold cake, coffee and milk.
The two chefs, one at each mess
hall, are experts in their field and
both are European trained. With
their corps of assistants, they are
Charles Greissen, trained in the re
sorts of Switzerland and chef of the
historic and legendary Sbisa Hall,
and Gaston Flaune, chef of the new
half-million-dollar Duncan Hall.
The cooking takes about 12 hours
a day—it’s eaten in 60 minutes!
The corps marches into the mess
hall, eats and is gone in 20 minutes.

A & M vs TU—

more resolutely attacked the prob
lem of an equitable adjustment
and not until 1930 did they suc
ceed.
President Walton, who had made
an extensive research into the ques
tion was able to throw much light
on the hotly debated subject and
with the splendid cooperation of all
concerned a final, equitable ad
justment was agreed upon by the
two Boards.
The two Boards requested the
Texas State Legislature to amend
the constitution, Article 7, section
13 to read as follows. “Quote: The
Board of Regents of the University
of Texas and The Board of Dir
ectors of the Agricultural and
Mechanical College of Texas shall
expend the Available University
Fund for the construction of build
ings on the campuses of the re
spective institutions, and for ex
tensions of their campuses and the
equipment of buildings thereof.”
This in itself should be sufficient
proof to those contradicting the
fact that A. & M. is not a branch
of the University. In this same
amendment the State Legislature
specifies that A. & M. shall expend
one-third of the permanent Uni
versity fund, except income from
surface leases of the land granted
them by this state.
It is quite apparent that A. & M.
is not a branch of the University
and the only connections. whatso
ever we have with them is to share
in the expenditure on a one-third
basis of the financial recipients re
ceived from their land grant en
dowment.

W illkie-Roose velt
Campaign Discussed
At Round Table Meet
A discussion of the Willkie-
Roosevelt campaign was discussed
at a meeting of the Round Table
Club last Thursday night. The
meeting was in the form of a gener
al group discussion with every
one participating.
The club discussed the following
points in addition to many others:
(1) If Roosevelt is elected, will he
not continue to run every election
year and so become a virtual dicta
tor? (2) Will Willkie do anything
about the national debt if he is
elected? (3) Was not Roosevelt’s
attempt to pack the supreme court
an indication that he may attempt
to assume a dictatorship. (4) Is
big business not backing Willkie
because it expects monetary re
wards.
The next meeting of the Round
Table Club will take the form of
a panel-type discussion with five
or six interested members sitting
in front of the room and discussing
the issue.
