Brother Shields requested that the brothers buy as many Jimmies Joys records as possible, reminding them they had sworn to aid each other. Brother Howell urged the brothers to strengthen themselves as he was leav- ing this year. Brother Esquivel was present, but looked disgusted, and on his suggestion the meeting was adjourned. Lambda Chi Alpha Meeting opened with " Down on the Farm. " Several of the boys wept during the song, but were soon happy again. Brother Smalley announced that he was now a three-letter man, having been made a present by Coach Stewart. A freshman was sent to get Brother MuUally, who was out swilling the hogs. The Committee to invite the Rusticusses to join the chapter reported that the Rusticusses had refused. Brother Steiner moved that a team be sent to the Fat Stock Show in Ft. Worth to enter the stock-judging contest. Meeting adjourned to put the cows out to pasture. Phi Gamma Delta Meeting opened with the national song " I ' m a Fiji, Who Are You? " Brother Mather requested to know who was going to take Dorothy to the dance. Brother Dix said he thought some other fraternity man should take her. Brother Kidd jumped up and said the dance was being given to get in good with the other fraternities, not to get in bad. After argument it was decided that Brother Mather be not allowed to attend either, so Dorothy ' s feelings would not be hurt. Brother Creighton requested that the brothers quit calling him a Dee-boy just because he wore knickers. The first sergeant blew his whistle and the battalion fell into formation, and roll call was had. Colonel Robertson then arrived and presented corporal ' s chevrons to Brother Holman. Company captains were instructed to com- mand better attendance in the men, and it was announced that Brother Stark had purchased several French .75s so that a battalion of artillery could be formed. After stationing guards for the night, meeting adjourned for open manoeuvres in the yard. Delta Theta Phi Meeting failed to open for a long while, but finally Brother Chamberlin arrived from the Chi Omega house. Brother Chamberlin announced that his election to Chancellors made him easily the outstanding member of the law school, and he didn ' t care if Professor Bobbitt did say that about him. Brother Voyles remarked on the growing social prestige of the chapter, he having been invited to the Alpha Phi tea. Brother Holland urged all the brothers to emulate, if possible, his honorable record in the law school. Brother Chamberlin again took the floor to advise the brothers on how to get along next year without him, but broke into sobs when he thought of what the loss ' .vould mean to Hildy and Green, and was still sobbing when the meeting adjourned. Sigma Nu Meeting opened of course. Brother Wilson asked that Brother Peteet keep out of his corn, as he had a party arranged for the week end. Brother Peteet denied the accusation, and reminded Brother Wilson that he had himself carried a lot of it over to the Zeta house. Brother Funkhouser advised the brothers to take more interest in athletics, he being the only athlete in the chapter. Brother Little said that he had a Zeta sister and through her could prob- at > ly arrange some dates with Zetas for the boys, which would lie a big social up. Some of the brothers said they ' ll rather not get the " up " that way, but most of them seemed satisfied and the chapter gave a vote of thanks to Brother Little. Brother Ta > lor said he didn ' t see any use of meeting any longer, so the meeting was adjourned. Delta Kappa Epsilon Several of the brothers were wandering around in the dining room which resulted in a mc ' cting. Brother Wright pulled the chair from beneath the president. Brother Foster retaliated by kicking him on the shin. Brother Shearer got sore at Brother Moursund and swung at his jaw but hit Brother Reinhard, who countered with a left jab to the stomach. By this time the fighting was genera and the meeting was net resumed as several of the brothers had gone outside to have it out.
