Assembly Hall
Prices Advance
To Twenty Cents
New Federal Tax Causes
Price Increase; Must Be
Paid by All Pass-Holders
Admission prices at the Assem
bly Hall advanced yesterday from
15 to 20 cents for week-day shows
and 25 cents for Saturday night
shows because of the new federal
defense tax that went into effect
yesterday, M. L. Cashion of the
YMCA announced.
The new federal tax includes all
admissions from 10 cents upward
with the government receiving
ten percent of the admission price.
The price on the YMCA privilege
card will remain the same as in
past years. The YMCA will absorb
the new tax on the privilege cards.
All pass holders will be required
to pay the tax when entering the
theater.
Town Hall Reserve
Tickets Available
Today in Y Lobby
Sale of Town Hall reserved seat
tickets will continue through to
day, Fred Smitham, manager, an
nounced today. First day’s sales
were brisk but some choice seats
are still available, Smitham said.
Representatives of Town Hall
will be in the lobby of the “Y”
all dy Thursday and all faculty
members and students who wish
to purchase the regular $4.00 sea
son ticket entitling them to a re
served seat for all performances
are asked to come early.
Members of the Town Hall staff
will start a new campaign to sell
student tickets tonight, visiting the
dormitories in a last drive to sell
out the available seats in Guion
Hall. With 10 outstanding numb
ers on the program, interest in
Town Hall is at a Jiigh point and
Smitham said present ticket sales
indicated but few seats would be
available for single admissions.
Students are urged to purchase the
season tickets at $2.00 which will
afford them the outstanding pro
grams for only twenty cents each,
Smitham concluded.
First Meeting Set
For Marketing And
Finance Club Tonight
The Marketing and Finance Club
will meet tonight in the “Y” parlor
for the first official meeting of
the year. All sophomores, juniors,
and seniors majoring in Marketing
and Finance are eligible to join
the club. A speaker has been ar
ranged for the program.
The club met Tuesday night
for the election of officers. Turney
Leonard was elected president;
Harrison Bancroft, vice-president;
Don Pinson, secretary and treas
urer; and Lee Rogers, student rep
resentative.
Puerto Rico Club
Organizes for Year
The Puerto Rico A. & M. Club
held its first meeting of the year
Tuesday night. Julio E. Trigo was

vice president; and Russel T. Cook,
secretary-treasurer at the meet
ing.
Although only 17 boys are here
at A. & M. this year as compar
ed with 28 who were here last
year, the club has an enthusias
tic membership. The draft and the
fact that several Puerto Ricans
were offered jobs were the causes
for the drop in club membership,
Cook said. Plans are in the offing
to form an ex-Aggie club in Puerto
Rico.
Colorado County

Dust-Chasing Crew
Organizes-From Now
On They Are “18-23"s
Have you ever heard of the “18
23” club? It is the latest creation
in the Aggie club line. It is truly
a legitimate organization with all
intentions to the good and every
thing on the level.
The membership is composed
solely of student janitors employ
ed the Building and College Utili
ties Department as office, dormi
tory or N.Y.A. janitors.
C. K. Jones was elected as pres
ident of the club. Charles Bode was
made vice president; Bert Hall,
secretary; and W. F. Breihan, re
porter. E. N. Holmgreen and W.
R. Horsley are the faculty advis
ors of the group.
As the goal of the club it is hop
ed to create a feeling of fellowship
and cooperation among the stu
dents on the janitor force and if
possible to sponsor social events
for the 180 student janitors.
The name “18-23” was chosen
because that represents the range
of salaries which club members re
ceive for their various duties.
Thumbers Cards
May be Obtained
From Payne or Y
The YMCA has announced that
the Aggie thumbers cards are now
available at either the Y desk or
at A1 Payne’s office. These cards
have been the source of many com
pliments to the school and create
a great deal of good feeling be
tween Aggie hitch-hikers and mo
torists.
The cards give the Aggie’s name,
his home and school address, and
his organization. They express
thanks for the ride, invite the mo
torist to visit him in his home or
at A. & M., and give the Aggie
hitch-hiker’s philosophy. This
philosophy states, “Realizing that
the person who favors me by giv
ing me a ‘lift’ is doing so at his
own risk and that his consideratioh
in helping a student is the mark
of a true sportsman, it is my pleas
ure to show him every courtesy
and render any service possible. It
is an opportunity for me to up
hold the true Aggie Spirit.”
CLUBS NOTICE
All requests for allocations
from the Student Activities
fund should be filed with the
Student Activities Office, 126
Administration Building by
October 10. Application
blanks are now available for
making your requests.

Team Leaves for Alamo Stadium Game
By Mike Mann
Senior Sports Assistant
Those Fighting Texas Aggies will be given a typical Aggie send-
off by the “Twelfth Man” tonight at 11 o’clock at the Missouri Pacific
railroad station. The occasion is the departure of the football team for
San Antonio where they meet the Texas A. & I. Javelinas Saturday
night in Alamo Stadium.
Head Yell Leader Skeen Staley states that the sendoff will begin
promptly at 11 o’clock, and aftei-f
the yell practice is over the team
will go to bed and their cars will
be pulled out sometime after mid
night. Staley will be assisted by
J. O. Alexander, “Big Foot” Nagle,
and “Chuck” Chalmers.
The entire Aggie Band will be at
the station to provide the very nec
essary music for the occasion. The
band will follow the team to San
Antonio by special train early Sat
Virday morning.
The special train will leave at
o:30 a.m. Saturday carrying the.
band and those students who do
not have to attend classes Satur
day morning, and will arrive in San
Antonio a 11 a.m. Upon arrival the
band will parade up Houston street
to the Gunter Hotel where they
will broadcast a short concert over
a local radio station. After the
broadcast a yell practice will
be held in front of the Gunter Ho
tel for all Aggies who are in San
Antonio at the time and who wish
to attend. The yell practice will
begin at approximately 12:15 p.m.
Skeen Staley has requested
that all Aggies who wish to
participate in the yell practice
meet the yell leaders and the
band at the Gunter instead of
going to the station and follow
ing the band downtown.
This is the first trip of the sea

Red Nichols Orchestra Comes
Here As First Big-Name Band
Red Nichols and his famous or
chestra will play for a corps dance
after the Town Hall program in
Sbisa Hall, October 10, Alden Ca
they, social secretary of the sen
ior class announced yesterday.
This will mark the first time
that a big-name dance orchestra
has appeared at Aggieland during
the fall semester for a corps dance
and promises the A. & M. social
season a good start, Cathey said.
Nichols and his orchestra will
be here the week-end that the foot,
ball team plays NYU in New York
so that everyone will be able to
attend the dance.
Ranked by George Simon, music
critic for Metronome, as the “sur
prise sensation of 1941,” Nichols
is considered as tops where im
mortals of jazz are concerned.
Downbeat, favorite among music
ian 1 ’ newspapers, states that Nich
ols climbed to fame ten years ago
with more than able assistance of
his celebrated “Five Pennies.”
Perhaps his attribute is the in
genious arrangement of danceable
tune — a type of music that is
fresh and distinctive.
Saturday night, October 11, a
juke box prom similar to those
held during summer school will be
held in the annex of Sbisa Hall.
The Town Hall program will be
given in Guion Hall and all student
tickets sold for the season will be
good for the performance.
