C, March 29. The rucus raised by the General Alumni Association of what we have so long and affectionately-called the "A. & M." college in an effort to change the name, or popular ' 'nickname,'! of that institution, has been claiming much attention here. Editor Clarence Poe (credited with gubernatorial aspirations) and President Alexander of the State farmers organization, resent - the dropping of the word "Mechanical, which the recent act of the legislature struck out and substituted "Engineering," and now bth-. ers are joining them in a protest over the evidently organized effort to drop both " agriculturre " and "engineering" by calling the insti-' tution -"-State College," only. - ' Governor Bickett is called upon to grant a hearing of the pro- testants at an early date, when it is proposed also, to hold a confer ence to take some effective ; action to head off the abbreviated (and it is claimed meaningless) "State College" crowd' of alleged "city alumnae," which appear to believe they have special if not exclusive privileges concerning all matters affecting this institution, their crit ics claim. - Travis Maxwell to Leave?

I if - IV ' - Several others are here who have already been signed on their records and others will come within a few days. Baseball in Raleigh has never been a paying business, the club' nearly always coming out behind financially at the close of the season. But the "fans" are usu ally willing to go down into their jeans and extract the dough nec essary to make up the deficit and thereby retain the $1,000 franchise and keep the park open for amusement during the long summer af ternoons, which is quite right and proper.
