A Decision Is Made
SUCH IS THE decree of the officials of the college
-the president, commandant and the executive
committee. The move was one of careful and sincel•e
consideration and on that was not hastily enacted.
The college officials have good and honest reasons
to back their decisions.
It was recognized that there were good quali-
ties in the "Fish Day" and this fact was not over-
looked in the consideration, It was also recognized
that there were extremely objectionable qualities
to the custom, qualities that brought discredit and
a bad name to the college and which gave it a
"black eye" in the minds of the public of the state
of Texas. A. & M. is an institution supported by the
taxpayers of the state; public opinion is the guide
that the college must follow.
As was the original purpose and idea behind
"Fish Day", it was the day that marked the turning
point in the life of the freshman at A, & M,; it was
the day in which he dropped his title of "Fish" and
became "one of the boys." The practice was to throw
an all day party in which the whole battery, troop
or company more or less "let its hair down". It
was the day in the year when the upperclassmen
got a chance to really know the freshmen as men.
These qualities wire recognized as worthy of .all
the tradition attached.
If this had been as far as the custom had been
carried, there would have been issued no complaint.
But as is the nature of unthinking youth the bad
qualities of the practice grew with each year. Drink-
ing became excessive at the parties; fighting and
water-throwing in rile halls increased past the
danger point; kidnapping on nights before disturb-
ed boys other than those concerned. These were the
practices deemed objectionable.
With time the objectionable practices increased
until the original purpose ryas lost'in the chaos.
At such times t}re public is disturbed and ex-
tremely sensitive to events; they will no longer
tolerate such outrages in a public institution; the
same attitude can. be observed with reference to
strikes as can be observed in pending legislation.
A. & iti7. at present is very much "on the spot"
in the present set-up of national defense. It cannot
affol•d adverse publicity, and the executives of the
college have definitely decided that all steps will
be taken to prevent such adverse publicity,
Student executives were called upon, in the
interest of fairness, to suggest an alternative move
ol• substitute for the p1atl adopted. There were no
ideas available. Organization commanders declined
to accept responsibility for the actions of their or-
ganization. They left the college officials no other
choice.
AS AGGIES we have a great many privleges and
traditions that are shared by no other school in the
Nation or• the world.
One of these great privileges, that is truly
democratic, is one that few of us ever think of;
though we see it every day. I have in mind the
public bulletin board in the east entrance of the
Academic Building. On this board we place our
notices, of what we have lost or found, what we
wish to buy or sell, that we want a place for our
date to stay, that we have space to carl•y someone
to Denton, or we want a 1•ide to Dallas. It is truly
a great privilege but it conies to my notice that
some don't consider the rest of the corps.
A few days ago I placed a notice on the board
to the effect that I want a ride to Davenport or
vicinity. I came back the next day to see if anyone
had left their name on it. I looked all aver the
board but I couldn't find my notice anywhere. After
long searching I found it on the back of one of
the notices. I can't complain too much fol• it was
a notice to the effect that someone had found an
article that I am sure was very dear to someone.
But I just wondered as I made a new notice if that
fellow thought as he did that, that he was 1•emoving
my only chance to make a trip over Easter that
I can only make once during the long session, be-
cause the trip is too long to hitch-hike except at
Christmas and too expensive otherwise.
Yes, fellows let's take advantage of our every
opportunity, Let's use the bulletin board but let's
not misuse it. Don't sell out someone's chance to
sell a text book, to make some extra money typing,
to buy a pair of boots cheap, or a fellow's chance
to see his mother aver Easter. Aggies let's not
sell all that for half a half sheet of paper. LET'S
BE CONSIDERATE OF OUR AGGIE BROTHERS.
Martin Hughes, ' 43
Quotable Quotes
"ALL OVER THE LAND professors and other old
women are talking about the present generation of
the young as soft and lazy, mediocre and fat. May-
be the young are soft. It is also true that al] gen-
erations of the young have in their times been de-
scribed as degenerate by the elders about them. In
the history of the world there has not been a gen-
eration in which the old were prepared to admit
that the young were as strong as they were when
they were young. It is the eternal excuse for stiff
joints in the presence of the supple. It is the anxient
vanity of memory over manpower. The young cer-
tainly have their faults. They may not be as smart,
brave, energetic, strong as their elders who want to
be defended by them would have them be. But the
old folks were young once also and, being young, not
free from faults. The young have always, as the
old folks reported it, been soft and the old folks,
as the young folks hoped the young would believe,
have always been wise. That's the rule, but America
need not be frightened now if our orled people will
be as wise as' our youhg will be strong. We have
better reason to count on young strength than old
wisdom." The Raleigh, N. C., News and Observer
thumps the critics of youth.
"The highest tribute society pays to colleges
is the tribute of expecting a positive contl•ibution
from the benefiiar•ies of the college responsibility,
Of him to whom much is given, much is expected,
and society expects college women to accept re-
sponsibility." Miss Mildred RlcAfee, president of
Wellesley College, reminds graduate women of
their- duties to the community.

A s the World Turns...
BY DR. AL B. NELSON
MEXICO AND THE UNITED STATES have signed
a treaty for the reciprocal use of air fields by the
military planes of the two nations. With the agree-
ments already made between Canada and the United
States planes of the three nations may now move
freely between the north pole and
the Canal Zone in the interest of
continental defense, This particular
agreement is of tremendous im-
portance to the proper defense of
the Panama Canal and also as evi-
`' dente of understanding and coopera-
`'' tion between the two nations.
Worth the Praise
AN ORGANIZATION well worth all the praise
and attention it can be given is Aggieland's own
musical group, the Singing Cadets. They came into
their pwn Monday night with a Town Hall appear-
ance. This appearance is the formal recognition of
thei- +~'rnt.°wlleffoit that is long past overdue.
'~) The Singing Cadets make no claim to being a
polished musical group nor does it intend itself to
be classed as a collection of trained concert voices.
As pel• purpose the Singing Cadets al•e a group of
boys who sing because they enjoy singing, who
work for the love of working, and who mix pleasure
with their work as no other organization can do.
For spirit, pep, zip, zest and snap there is no
musical olganizatioll in the country that can hold
a candle to them: For precision and punch they
cannot be touched. The club is a success because
they can make the audience live and breathe the
9nusfc they sing. Such is the test of true music.
To J. J. Woolket who has inspired and pro-
moted the organization since its beginning, The
Battalion proposes a toast to a job well done.
Town Hall's program Monday night reproduces
the old legend of the search for the "Holy Grail".
Town Hall, as did the knights of old, found its talent
at home.
In the 10-year period 1931-40, graduate students
in American colleges and universities produced
nearly 27,000 theses as candidates for doctorate de-
grees. .
William E. Jackson, son of the attorney gene-
ral, recently won a $100 award at Yale university
for "superiority in English composition and decla-
mation."
~ z. There is growing indication that
many of the present strikes are be-
ing engineered and timed with the
'deliberate purpose to sabotage the
Nelson defense effort of the government.
The tactics follow closely the pattern followed in
Russia, Italy, Germany and France previous to t?e
overthrow of the constituted governments in those
nations.
Workers who refuse to strike are being beaten,
intimidated and threatened in violation of the law.
Al•med resistance is made to officals of the law
who attempt to protect laborers in their right to
work, the property of employers and of their em-
ployees who desire to continue working, is de-
stroyed by mobs of men engaged in what they call
peaceful picketing.
In contrast with this selfish or treasonable
activity (all depending upon the motive) a million
or more young men are giving up their business or
employment and accepting the draft at twenty-one
dollars per month. It might be a good idea to draft
every striker and put him to work for the same
sum, board and room plus twenty-one dollars per
month.
In Texas, violence and intimidation is now pro-
hibited by law in all labor disputes, This is the only
reasonable attitude to take and should result in
orderly progress of defense work in this state,
A collection of some 500 land and marine shells
from all parts of the world is the latest gift to

zoology.

campaigning to stop students from throwing pinon
shells on the classroom floors,

ferent weight classifications fight
t out for the college crown. Some
1200 screaming cadets were pres-
mt at the semi-final ma~ches
Phursday night that saw some of
the best fights of the current
season come off.
Most of that crowd, however,
tame out to gee the Henderson-
Sibley .bout, which was designed to
~e the feature match of the even-
ing. Instead they were a bit disap-
pointed in that the gridiron stars
aid not come out and slug it out.
Henderson won the bout with ease
as Sibley attempted an "Arturo
3odoy" style, which is crouching
rs close to the mat as possible.
Phis makes the fifth sport event
in which Henderson has been suc-
:essful. All that is left now is the
pingpong championship.
Riordan of C Cavalry and Dun-
phy of Hdq. Cavalry will open the
proceedings in the 119 Ib. at 7:45.
Other Class A championship fights
that follow include: 129 lb.-High-',

bel (C Coast); 139 ]b class-Reid~i

F.A.) versus Drake (E Coast);
159 Ib. class-Taylor (3rd Hdq.
F.A.) taking on Jacobs (E Coastl;
169 lb. class-Taylor (E F.A.)
putting up gloveswith Blankenship
(G Infantry); and 179 lb class-
Ramage (K Infantry) fighting it
out with Andrews (C Coast).

and 3rd Hdq. Field Artillery ad-
vanced into the quarter-finals as

grinding them out in feature length
movies.
"The World In Flames" states
in its preface that it shoos the
struggle of a free people against
an overwhelming destructive force.
To do this it turns at a fast clip
through newsreel shots of diplo-
matic, political, and military ev-
ents for each year from 1929 to
1940. It creates a sinister impres-
sion of doom, always leading ap
to men marching, men fighting,
men striking. It shows the steps
along the road to war. This is a
documentary propaganda film with
many musty newsreel shots which
will bring .back memories of old
things which we can scarcely re-
member.
