that they would take it up with
their commanding officer and the
Aggies were eager to present it to
the commandant.
Further discussion brought out
several other pertinent factors
causing disagreement. The sailors
said that something should be done
to make the naval detachment feel
a part of A. & M. In order to do
this the Aggies proposed that the
sailors attend yell practices and
elect a yell leader to lead the sail
ors in the Aggie yells at the foot
ball games. It was finally decid
ed that there should be a yell lead
er from the navy and one from the
marines.
Aggies have complained about
the sailor practice of upstreaming.
The sailors countered with the
statement that they were not given
liberty until one o’clock Saturday
and thus would always be at the
end of a hitch-hiking line. It was
proposed that two lines be formed
at every corner, one for Aggies
and one for sailors, each line tak
ing the rides alternately. Both
sides thought that this arrangement
would be the fairest possible un
der the circumstances.
It was a general feeling among
those present at the meeting that
something needed to be done to
acquaint the Aggies and sailors.
The men ' representing the corps
offered to give a dance honoring
the sailors as soon as possible. In
return the sailors said that they
would trye to give a dance honor
ing the Aggies.
The general conclusion drawn
from the meeting was that the
two groups should participate in
more social activities together. The
navy wholeheartedly approved of
this and said that they would go
as far as naval regulations would
permit.
Members of the senior class rep
resenting the Aggies were: Andy
Jones, head yell leader; H. Q.
Sibley, senior yell elader; Jack
Palmer, executive officer on 2nd
regimental staff; Paul Olschner,
commander of the 2nd regiment,
and Calvin Brumley, corps execu
tive officer.
Naval personnel composing the
sailor committee were E. M. Perry,
J. M. Gouger, A. H. Way, J. C.
Mount, C. O. Garner, and W. T.
Judd, the six company commanders.
Another meeting between the two
groups was arranged for next Tues
day night in the Ward Room of
Dormtiory 12.

dealer in College Station, and he appreciates your cooperation.
He wants to help you, too, by giving you the best trades
possible.
MEN, to get highest prices for books, sell now before you
leave because as in the past, there won’t be as much sale for
used books later, as freshmen will buy during Freshmen Week.

BOOKS — LAMPS — HATS — DRAWING SUPPLIES

LISTEN, MEN! Some of you are planning to sell your instruments. We will make minor repairs FREE so that
you can get more for them. If you sell them to a freshman, be sure they are in good repair so that the new
man will not be handicapped.
If some of you Aggies get in a tight for cash on the way home or even before
you leave for home, remember the Loupot Loan Fund (limit to loan, $5 as long as
there is money in the Fund). If on the road and in need, wire me collect.
