Bull-Ring Mathematician
Offers Annex Campusology
By ALLEN PENGELLY
The notorious bull-ring, famous
to many Annex Cadets, is a won
derful source for campusology in
formation. By simply walking a-
round the given area, much valu
able data can be mentally com
puted and later set down upon pa
per so that It may be preserved
for generations to come. The fol
lowing is just a small portion of
what may be learned while on a
tour of extra duty.
It takes five minutes to make
one eomplete circle around the
ring. Walking in the prescribed
military manner, a cadet takes

At CORNELL and Colleges

the country CHESTERFIELD is
the largest-selling cigarette
FRANCHOT TONE
Famous Cornell Alumnus, says:
“Every time I open a pack of milder
CHESTERFIELDS I know that every one will
leaVe a clean, fresh taste in my mouth. No
other cigarette does that for me. That's
why Chesterfield is MY cigarette."

one hundred twenty steps, each
thirty Inchee long, every sixty
seconds. Therefore In one rev
olution he takes six hundred
steps, and walks a total of eigh
teen thousand Inches, one thous
and five hundred feet or five
hundred yards.
The minimum time for a tour of
duty is one hour while the aver
age tour is two hours in length. A
cadet with one hour on the bull
ring walks approximately three
miles. Now if you happen to be
an average cadet, you will Walk
six miles or approximately ’the
distance from the Annex to Bryan.
Keep the above statistics in
mind when you are tempted to vi
olate any of the college rules
which involve “only two hours on
the ring.”
More Information can be sub
tracted from the hike n on “the
last mile.” For Instance, did
you know that there are twenty
windows in the Annex phapel;
ten large windows with thirty-
two panes plus the twelve more
in the two doors make a grand
total of four hundred seventy-
two panes In the entire Chapel.
Add to all the figures that have
been presented the fact that there
are forty-eight cedar posts lining
the driveway in front of the ad
ministration building and you will
have a rough idea of all the cam-
pusolog.’ facts that can be com
puted from one hour tour of duty
on one of A&M’s oldest traditions,
the bull-ring. j.
