By FRANK CUSHING
At long last an end to the “So
You Know A&M?” contest is in
sight. The pictures carried in the
Battalion this week will be the
last ones featured in the campus
knowledge quiz. The winners will
be determined from the points ac
cumulated by the contestants with
their right answers. Monday’s pa
per will contain the winner’s names
and the story of how well they
knew A&M.
The early field of many has been
narrowed down slowly during the
past six weeks of the contest. At
the present time there are five
individuals whos^o sepres merit re
ceiving first i>rike.
| “So Ypu Know A&M?” had been
a constant source of wonder to
the members of the Battalion staff.
The contest-|iardeno<l individuals
oh the paper! can’t understand the
reason for the number of faith
ful followers 1 that the quiz has ac
quired and retained.
What started out and promised
to be a small affa r with only a
few pictures used has turned out
to be quite different. The original
number of entries was amazing in
itself. The stamina demonstrated
by the contestants in running
down and identifyiiig weird look
ing objects about the campus has
been little less than astounding.
Nearly all concerned with the
contest thought that the difficult
part would be to keep enough peo
ple interested. At least three indi
viduals interested enough in jthe

Miss Huffman, who is from,

The other five nominees were

was desired. Few staff members
thought that such would be the
ejase.
; After the field of entries began
to grow, the opinion changed. It
Was then known that it would be
difficult to choose three from the
ihaoy. The “clinkers”—pictures of
almost unidentifiable objects—were
thus born. The first one, a close-
up of . the fountain, was thought to
fee a fine photo to clear the field.
The interested Aggies who want
ed the offered prizes were grossly
Underestimated by that belief.

HOY’8 DOG BITES WOMAN
: WICHITA FALLS—tP)—It was
“turnabout is fair play” for a boy
iund a woman here today.
; William Barney, 0, was bitten
iby a dog owned by Mrs. Verna
jHUckabee while the boy was play-
ling near her home. She rushed
,William two blocks to his home,
where his dog bit her on the leg.
Neithar bite was serious.
un-daunted. One letter of disgust
was received, and printed by the
Batt. However, even the writer of
the letter had arrived through logic
and guess at the solution.
Then the heighth of poultry-
patterhed-pictures was taken.
Everyone involved in running the
contest from C. C. Munroe bn
down shuddered at the thought of
printing the photo. Some individ
uals offered the theory that the
Batt staff in mass would be at
tacked by irate contestants who
would consider the picture any
thing but Hoyle.
Finally enough courage was
summoned by the staff and the
picture was printed in an incen-
spicuolus spot in the Batt’s last
page. The object of this “clinker”
was an exhaust pipe on an engine
used in construction work at tho
Htudcht Memorial Center.
Tho worry and anxiety over this
photo was in vain however. Only
u few of tho entries were tripped
up by it—tho majority ’ weren’t
even slowed down.
NeVer-thc-less, the contest will
be closed this week. The clinkers
will jioon be a thing of the past.
To the relief of both the Battalion
and the contestants “So You
Know A&M?” is drawing to a long
awaited close.
