As I sit here with the bells
of the evening tolling in my
ears and I do mean the bell
it is about the best feeling yet
experienced as editor of this
publication.
Baker made her first confer
ence win of the season and in
reality all Baker students feel
that it is just more than a win
for the cagers squad it is a win
for the Baker student body.
The students of Daniel Baker
have just been experiencing a
tlump in morale activity and in
many other ways but we all
know that is a thing of the
past. Come ahead students let's
nave more of that good Baker
spirit at the Southwestern game
Tuesday night. Let this spirit
penetrate every corner of the
campus. It will be the tonic this
old hunch needs. Let's make it
100 per cent for the Baker
squad from here on. What you
say???
A lot of the faculty was there
too last Tuesday President
Hart Mr. Blair Mr. Freeland
and Reverend Bailey were right
there supplying that back
ground we spoke of several
weeks ago. Daniel Baker has a
lot to be proud of now let's
make it more.

Merger Proposed
For Daniel Baker
A proposal has been made for
the merging of Daniel Baker Col-
lege Brownwood with Trinity
University Waxahachle and Aus-
tin College Sherman Into one
large educational Institution pro-
vided the site of the newly formed
school Is Brownwood.
Dr. Thomas H Hart president
of Daniel Baker College which is
an i n d e p e n dent Presbyterian
school said Dr. E. B. Tucker pres-
ident of Austin College visited
Brownwood last week to discuss
the proposed merger.
Daniel Baker would Join with
the other two schools only upon
the condition that Brownwood be
selected as the sight for the new
school. The conditions to be met
by the town selected include do-
nation ot $1000000 for new build-
ings $1000000 for an endowment
fund and 100 acres for the campus.
Doubt was expressed that Brown-
wood could make such an offer.
Other places Included In propos-
als for location of the merged
school Include Oak Cliff Dallas
Brownwood Corpus Chrlstl Sher-
man and Waxahachle.
If the location question simmers
down to the point where a city the
size of Brownwood would have a
chance the Daniel Baker Board
will submit a definite proposition
to the locating committee.
Enrollment ot the two schools
total around 1000 and they have
endowments totalling around $1-
000000 with physical properties
worth $700000. Mr. Pat Hooks of
Itasca heads the locating committee.
Recent Change
Made In Chapel
"The student representatives
themselves have advocated the
recent change made In the chapel
programs." So spoke Reverend
Bailey student advisor when
questioned about the recent elim-
ination of chapel on Tuesdays
Thursdays and Saturdays. Begin-
ning Monday morning February
10 1941 an entirely new schedule
was Introduced Into the clrrlculm
ot Daniel Baker. Formerly classes
started at 8:30 a. m. on Monday
mornings and chapel was not held
on that day then the following
days In the week classes started
at 8:00 a. m. and chapel was held
from 10:00 until 10:30. Under the
new schedule classes start prompt-
ly each day at 8:00 a. m but
chapel Is not held on Tuesdays
Thursdays and Saturdays on
these days classes are dismissed
at 12:00 M. Instead of 12:30 p. m.
as on the remaining days.
The tentative schedule for chap
el programs for the weeks re-
maining in the spring semester Is:
on Mondays the students may
make all announcements hold all
club meetings present any busi-
ness to be passsd on by the stud
ent body as a whole and present
any programs that they wish to;
on Wednesdays with the excep-
tion of this week the regular re-
ligious program for the students
wll be held; and on Fridays the
programs will be made up of out-
side talent sslscted by the college
faculty and any civic speaker or
