ability and vision. As history’s first
great merchant prince, he built up
trade between France and the; Le

But G>eur wanted more than
mere wealth.. He wanted to raise

(To Be Continued)
Why? Becausi
helped guard
Building the night of Friday, No
vember 21, and tjhe Academic
Building the 1 night of Sunday,
Nov. 23. I might suggest that had
they been elsewhere besides Young-1
blood’s or in a muchly coveted :
“sack” dreafeing jup schemes to |
cause dissension ajihong the stu-1
dent body, or bettei’ still, had they!
gotten out and guarded a little of!
the campus themselves, they might!
have known the truth about when !
and Whole the campus was guard-j
ed.
For tljicir information, all dur-1
iiigj the [ holiday preparations, the j
campus was not only guarded but!
it wis covered with a network of
walkie-talkies, issued by the Mili
tary Department, to ketap everyone j
posted should any: trouble occur;
on any part of th(- campus. May
1 suggest that next year the dis-1
appointed three themselves lose
a few nights’ sleep guarding and
share a bit of the fglory.”
Second, it to happened that it-j
was the Senior Class—pot the ad-
the University included. Why be
so narrow-minded about so trivial
a subject as Whether abbreviation
for “4() Aries” is TU or Tii ? ,,
In closing let; ’me remind Mr.
Wells that he cum go to Austin,
with a chip on hik shoulder if he
likes, sjt won’t tike very long’for
someohe to trim jhiim down to size.
