Begin Here Today
By Travis' Fetter
HflJIIIIIIMI IIIID
Three weeks ago Lulgi Pirandello
.foremost dramatist of Italy If not all
Europe arrived In New York on the
steamer Rex. But the slgnor's peace
of mind had been so disturbed on the
way over by the Increasing tension
growing from the Italo-Ethloplan sit
uatlon that before the Atlantic cross-
ing had been made Pirandello had de-
cided to go back. And that was the
reason reporters and ladles' culture
clubs in the United States got no
more than a brief hail and farewell
in place of lengthy interviews and
more lengthy and boring literary teas
and after-luncheon addresses. The
Italian writer said he believed that
in a time of stress a man should be
in his native land. And I have the
assurance of Mrs. Wright that the
estimable Pirandello is one of II
Duce's favorites.
I might here acknowledge the fact
that the wrath of the entire member-
ship of Daniel Baker's cultured Intel-
legentsla was brought down upon me
for having stated last week that only
three people have read the current
copy of the Atlantic Monthly in the
library. From Freshman up to and
including faculty members they as-
sured me with no small amount of
indignant wounded pride that the
Boston magazine has been their con-
stant companion and that they would
rather miss dinner or even a chapel
program than to fall to read their
Atlantic Monthly every day. To them
I submit abject apology and also a
bint of questioning as to just how
they go about circumventing the
checking routine so strictly observed
In the library.
And this paragraph no doubt will
cause a deluge where last week there
was only a heavy mist.
O. O. Mclntyre points out in rather
a whimsical manner that one of our
most popular English words contains
one vowel and ceven consonants. Yes
vn. rmint them firive UD? It is
"strength."
Book reviews last winter gently and
somewhat fondly criticized Christo-
pher Morley for subsidizing his liter-
ary style which everyone loves who
has so much aa seen the cover of his
books with his last book "Hasta La
Vista." This book was written fol-
lowing a leisurely trip to Peru on one
of the Grace Line steamers. In view
of the fact that the volume Is dedicat-
ed to an official of the Grace Line and
considering the rather numerous times
that seafaring firm Is called by name
in the book many of the more clever
critics arrived at the astonishing con-
clusion that perhaps the Philadelphia
essayist might have been engaged as
a press agent to slide Into vernacu-
lar. But bow neatly It Is done!
Passing through the Panama Canal
Mr. Morley (I am Inclined to speak of
him aa father Morley or reverend
Morley for to my mind his is the
sunreme modern English literature)
happened upon a news stand in Colon
on which was a matrazlne titled "Tod-
amcrlca; La Revista para la Gente
que piensa." It was the May 1934
Issue and as It was August at the
tune he saw It conclusion wob drawn
that tho magazine had been unfortu-
nate In so limiting Its appeal to those
who think. On the voyage back to
New York a few weeks later the
magazine was still awaiting Its cus-
tomer Morley reports.
This la an anniversary of sorts. One
year ago I definitely swore off writing
weekly column. It must be that I
had grown terribly peeved at not be-
ing syndicated or maybe I lost my
copy of Joe Miller's joke book. How
often are our best resolutions neglect-
ed at the most desirable times.
Two verses of appreciation:
I owe my dear to thee
All that I can ever be.
I owe my dear to me
AU that I will never be.
For your delight there are in the
Daniel Baker library two volumes of
Father Brown's lovably eccentric ad-
ventures in modest crime detection
by shall I even repeat bis name O.
NOVEMBER 2 SET FOR HOMECOMING DATE
Arrangement of
Program in Charge
of Former Students
Rev. Ben H. Moore pastor of the
First Presbyterian Church and pres-
ident of the Daniel Baker Ex-Students
Association announced in chapel on
Tuesday morning that Saturday No-
vember 2 has been definitely set as
the date for the 1935 Homecoming
program. At the first meeting held
by the ex-students three weeks ago it
was tentatively planned for this date
but there was some doubt as to whe-
ther the football game wjth Trinity
could be changed from Friday night
to the following afternoon. This has
been arranged and the entire Home-
coming program will be planned for
Saturday.
The ex-students have begun making
their preparations early this fall for
the 1935 Homecoming and it is be-
lieved by students and faculty that
the event this fall will be greater
than any other In history.
Students are urged to aid the ex-
students In securing the largest at-
tendance ever had for a homecoming
by co-operating In contacting all men
and women In this section of the state
who have ever attended Daniel "Baker.
Frances Hlse and Peggy Charnqulst
have been announced as student rep-
resentatives for the Ex-Students Asso-
ciation and names and addresses of
former Daniel Baker students can be
reported to them or to Rev. Moore
who teaches several classes in science
each week.
A list of speakers musical enter-
tainments and plans for the "barbe-
cue banquet" will be announced later
as details for the program arc worked
out more thoroughly. Students and
faculty members are urged to lend
every effort in co-operation with those
planning the program to make it the
most successful ever seen on the Dan-
iel Baker campus.

President of SOS
Society for Year
Girls In the home economics depart-
ment have this week organized the
S. O. S. club which last year was one
of the most active and valuable of
the campus societies. A full diversi-
fied program of entertainment and
educational. functions. Miss McFar-
land head of the domestic science de-
partment Is sponsoring the club for
the second year of its organization.
Officers for the 193S-36 school year
are: Aleene Fitzgerald president;
Frankie Palmer vice president; Edna
Merle Smith reporter. Membership
in the club has been limited to twenty-five
girls. Pledges for completing
the membership will be selected in the
near future the officers have an-
nounced and the bids will be made
public at an early date. The an-
nouncement stated that those wishing
to join who are not accepted immedi
ately will be placed on the waiting
list
. The general program of the club for
the year is composed of a three-point
plan. This outline includes (1) educa-
tional activities; (2) social functions;
(3) other activities fitting to an ex-
clusively selected group of students
it has been stated. The highlight of
the social activities sponsored by the
organization will be the presentation
of a banquet to be held later In the
year. Plans for this affair have not
been completed but are being consid-
ered. Parties and picnics are also on
the social calendar of the S. O. S. club
for the year-
One of the outstanding features of
the organization last year which is to
be continued through the current
school term Is the appearance every
month of a guest speaker. Interest-
ing talks were delivered before the
group last year in which several dis-
tinguished speakers presented instruc-
tive and entertaining ideas pertinent
to the purposes of the club.

ganization have not been announced
but will be decided upon and made
public within a few days.

all the class members a spin over the

the most popular diversion of the day.
Charles Fowler was In the company
with his Inquiring camera and is re-
ported to have gotten some master-
pieces In the way of impromptu snap-
shots. Refreshments of sandwiches olives
pickles potato chips and other thirst-
invoking 'edibles were served between

Footlight Players
Select Committees
in Meeting Tuesday
At their regular meeting Tuesday
night the Footlight Players under
the able leadership of David Parks
their president began work in earnest.
Martha Logan read the constitution
which has been overhauled and work-
ed over from top to bottom and is
almost a complete document by this
time.
S. A. McHorse chairman of the
reading committee and his cohorts
reported on plays which may prove
to be material for various performan-
ces of the club.
Semester dues of fifty cents were
decided upon.. Would-be members are
urged to pay these dues before the
fifth of November or else they will
be refused admittance to the club.
Into the constitution was inserted a

KANGAROOS ARE
ALREADY PICKED
T. C. CHAMPIONS
The chamionship of the Texas Con-
ference will not be awarded until De-
cember however many people are
ready to wrap the thing up put an
Austin College label on it and save
it for the occasion.
The Kangaroos did not get what
they were looking for last week a
victory over Howard Payne but the
scoreless tie in Brownwood probably
will serve the purpose. With two vic-
tories and that deadlock the Kan-
garoos are believed to be past their
toughest opponents having to face
only Abilene Christian Southwestern
and Trinity.

Coggin Pledges Do
Strange Things at
Initiation Dinner
Pledges of the Coggin Society were
entertained with a Hallowe'en dinner
at Mrs. Hunters across the street
from the campus last Thursday even-
ing. During the course of the evening
various forms of the official initiation
rites of the society were administered
to the pledges. Features of these
events were those by Rita Young who
had to explain to all present some of
the secret charms she holds for mem-
bers of the opposite sex; Alice Earl
Anderson and Elizabeth Waters who
sang "Down By the Old Mill Stream"
with illuminating motions accompany-
ing; and Dorothy Nell Griffin who
did some quaint antics supposedly
characteristic of those people suffer-
ing from dementia praecox.
During this week the Coggin pledg-
es are undergoing various other forms
of initiation vividly conspicuous to all
who frequent the campus. Following
the week of Initiation the pledges will
become respectable members of this
venerable honorary society for co-eds.
Those who attended the dinner hon-
oring the pledges last week were the
following members and pledges:

Play San Marcos
Bobcats Tonight
Playing the final non-conference
football game of the year Coach Gene
Taylor's Hill Billle squad is In San
Marcos today where they will do bat-
tle with Joe Bailey Cheaney's San
Marcos Bobcats. Brownwood fans are
expecting the Billies to stand about on
an even basis in the scramble tonight
and none of the gamblers Is giving
heavy odds one way or the other.
Cheaney's club played here earlier
in the season being defeated by How-
ard Payne in a bard fought game. The
Jackets had a decided advantage in
that game however as the Bobcats
had been unable to practice outdoors
for a week previous to the game be-
cause of wet weather and many who
saw that game and had later follow-
ed the San Marcos club through the
season believe that they were not dis-
playing their full strength against the
Yellow Jackets.
The Billle squad 1b still rather crip-
pled up following the two hard games
in northeast Texas against Austin
College and T. W. C and supporters
of the Daniel Baker team are expect-
ing a hard battle from the beginning.
Taylor of course is in rather a pessi-
mistic mood concerning his chances
but in spite of that fans may rest
assured that the game will be no kind
of set-up for the Southwest Teachers.
In the past few weeks in addition to
losing to Howard Payne and another
of the state teachers college teams
Schreiner Institute soundly trounced
the San Marcos squad. The Bobcats
have defeated Southwestern 13-0. This
last game tends to place the odds be-
tween them and the Billies about even
according to the previous game sta-
tistics which are so temptingly easy
to conjure for the benefit of fans.
Following tho San Marcos game
the Billies teturn to Brownwood for
the Homecoming game with Trinity

Columbia Faculty
Is Retiring From
the Fourth Estate
New York. The Columbia Specta-
tor long ranked with The Daily Car-
dinal of the University of Wisconsin
and the Cornell Daily Sun as a leader
of American collegiate journalism
will have to rely on 100 per cent stu-
dent financial support in the future.
The Columbia Board of trustees has
just voted to discontinue its subsidy
an "activities fee" giving students ad-
mission to athletic contests and entit-
ling them to receive copies of student
publications without cost.
The new financial set-up which ap-
plies as well to the Columbia Jester
humorous publication and The Stu-
dent Review monthly literary maga-
zine will go into effect at the end of
the academic year 1937-38.
The persistently radical and critical
attitude of the Spectator during the
past four years did not. Influence the
trustees according to Dean Herbert B.
Hawkes who said the arrangement
was designed merely to vest both re-
sponsibility and control of publica
tions a the student body. When It
was pointed out that the continued ex-
istence of the newspaper and maga-
zines will depend on success In obtain
tng student subscriptions Dean
Hawkes replied that the subscription
method was In vogue In nearly ail
American schools and bad been sue
cessf ully used at Columbia some years
ago.
