Service Means More--
Of course, service means more than just waiting on you
at the counter and giving you what you want wrapped
up in a package.
Our service to the Aggies and to the campus of A. & M.
begins when we make our plans to stock our store. We
carry only the best merchandise, because through it we
can offer you greater savings. Quality items will wear
longer, give better service, and because of these values
will be of greater economy.
We invite you to use the facilities of our store—to effect
the savings that we can give you through the combina
tion of higher quality merchandise priced right.

AUTUMN SUNSET
Owen D. Baker
The bright sun shone,
Its scarlet gleam
Lighted the world
In a golden sheen.
The autumn leaves
With many tints,
Of colder days
Gave proving hints.
In hollow trees
And rotting stumps.
Lay treasurers rare
Of summer hunts;
Made by squirrels
In shaded ways;
Filling larders
For winter days.
The mirror surface
Of a woodland pond,
Broken by the bending
Of a green fern frond.
The pheasant’s cry,
A clear sharp call:
As he struts his colors
For coming fall.
All these splendors
And many more,
Eemind us that Autumn
Has done her chore.

Intramurals
By R. L. Weatherly
Last Wednesday and Thursday
afternoons W. L. Penberthy called
a meeting of all Company Captains
and Company athletic officers to
discuss intramurals for the coming
semester.
On Wednesday afternoon Major
Davis was on hand to make a talk
at the meeting. He said, “A man
can think better when he is in a
good physical condition.” He added
that he would back the intramural
program to make it a success.
The different sports that the
members chose to play this semes
ter are tennis, track, swimming,
horseshoes, volleyball, and soft
ball. All sports, with the excep
tion of softball, will be played be
tween four and five in the after
noons. Track meets and swimming
meets were chosen to be played on
week-ends to enable the students
more time for these respective
meets.
It was voted that there would be
only one class of sport. In other
words the freshmen and upper
classmen will compete with each
other. In the past it had been the
rule for upperclassmen to compete
with only upperclassmen. It was
also learned that the Companies
could choose five of the six sports
above in which to participate.
In regard to equipment it was
learned that the Companies would
buy bats and balls, but horseshoes
will be issued at the intramural of
fice with the deposit of two dol
lars.
Competition in horseshoes will
begin next week it was learned
from Penberthy who, incidentally,
will supervise the intramural sports
this semester.
Handball was discussed at the
meeting also, but because there is
no enthusiasm among the students
it was decided not to be a regular
sport. But there will be a tourna
ment sometime during this semes
ter for this particular sport.
WHY?
Why did a Naval Officer pass
through the hallway in the dorm
where the Ship’s store is located
and say “Stay along the bulkhead
or you will block the gangway?”
The statement received little res
ponse because of the fact that
there were only soldiers on line.
A new G. I. to the Campus turned
around quizically and remarked
“Is he kidding?”
Why was the gripe box remov
ed immediately after the order for
Competitive sports on Saturday
afternoons? It couldn’t be that
someone was under the misappre
hension that the box might be
filled by nightfall. We would
never do a nasty thing like that—
would we?
Why did a certain section have
the right file to do a right flank
while the left file flanked to the
left? Could it be that there is a
new command, or is it possible
that someone is not on the BALL?
Dr. Schuichi Kusaka, a Japan
ese who has joined the Smith col
lege faculty as a physics instruc
tor, was recommended for the post
by a Chinese member of the de
partment,- Miss Chien Shiung Wu.

been gathering for years, and our
entire library. Among the books
that we valued particularly was
a treatise on the violin by Mozart’s
father. This was given to my
husband by the director of the
Salsburg Festival after he had
played there under the baton of
Bruno Walter.
In that apartment I had many
beautiful old chairs which had
been in my family for genera
tions. They were lovely but very
fragile. One of our dearest
friends had the unfortunate facul
ty of breaking one whenever he
came to call. Finally we had to
ask him to have one specially made
for himself, mounted on a steel
frame!
In our American apartment
