their chief, L. L. Sweat “The force
is not the best trained or qual

hut you will find that they are as
agreeable and as much for the
college student as any member of
the faculty.'?
Sweat, * brunette good-looking
man, makes his headquarters in
the Administration Building next
door to the Housing Office. Though
this office is the best place to find
the cqmpua police, they also may
be contacted as they make their
rounds. The rounds are frequent in
the day-time, and at least hour);

A watchman's clock is used to
prove that the rounds are made.

griping about the telephone situation at
How Golden Is
Much grumbling and
' Little Aggieland” has sifted into the Freshman Battalion office in th^
Student Center during the last few days.
For the thirteen hundred and fourteen freshmen at the Annex
d ' r i' f \ * . r .1 t
as well as the wives and families of the veterans, there are only two
pay stations available for use during the hours that the Student Center
i i open. Of these two pay {stations, the door of one is completely tom
Ibose and the latch on the pther is broken so that little or no privacy
is possible from the noisy lounge.
More times than once students have received urgent calls from
home or other places, only to find a long dine waiting to use the
telephones. Saturday and Sunday afternoon also finds long
Students waiting to call prom or their girls back home.
Something be done about this intolerable situation ? The company
has the franchise for this area can certainly afford to go
expense for something that would in due time make them much more
rtioney.
Not only do the students have inadequate telephone service, but
i Iso the members of the faculty and the administration of the annex.
In checking with Dean of Students, W. G. Breazeale, it has been found
that only five outside lines! are available for these people. After five
O’clock, the lines are connected directly from the main switch board
i peo!
pnes with telephone servic4.
If it is -impossible for the company to which these instruments
Iclong to install more phones, it would be beneficial for them to at
least repair the booths thait are in the Student Center so that better
use of the facilities already at hand may be made.

Don’t Tell A Pig By Its Covering...
I I I: J I i
According to philosophers, you can’t tell a book by ita cover. Some
now information recently sltyws us that we also must not tell a pig by i,,™- ^ universal
the dirty stories we hear sjbout him
Dr. Henry Stewart, bead of animal breeding and swine research
^t North Carolina State College in Raleigh, says, “pigs have become
associated with filth only because we don’t give them a chance to get
siway from It.”
“With the temperature ho\*ering around 95 degrees on hot summer
days, pigs just naturally sdoot for the nearest waterhole. Since these
ften times aren’t provided, the normally clean-conscious pigs swallow
eir vanity and collapse into the closest mud wallow."
And surprmingty enough the porker is the smartest animal on the
nn. Our plump, four-footed friends have outsmarted even chiuv-
lanzees, brightest members of the ape family in intelligence teats.
Pigs, contrary to layman's belief, don’t have gluttonous appetitee.
Tfoo many farmers fail to feed their pigs enough, not realizing that
these animals require plenty of food because they grow proportionately
faster than any other compion animal.
A kind of-physiologic* 1 fear is created in the animals by this
actipn, giving them the impjression' that there isn’t going to be enough
food to go around. When sblf-feeders are provided and leas competition
is present, swine never shofw any indication of ravenous appetite.
We are glad to know that the poor mistreated poricer has been
beared of his malevolent reputation. Prejudice against the pig should
now be a thing of the past.

Our Course was ideally plot

found everywhere. At any rate,
there were too many to remember.
