THE WHITE HOUSE
After a few silent weeks we
will again come on the air and
■*; 1 broadcast a few events of the
White House. In case some of
' ' you have been disappointed "at, our
* non-appearance, I will apologize
i "by stating that the "White House
. Loafers" have been too busy with
their calculus, English and other
problems qf like nature to submit
a column to the J-Tac. 1
We had an addition to our large
and! happy family a short while
' , ago. "Pedro" Burks is now grac-
^ ing our table with, his handsome
I$.tin face. We have discovered
f- i only one weakness in Pedro's ehar-
r acter since he came into our midst
and that is his inability to resist
the ladies. He would be an ideal
; scholar if they would only* let him
i alone.
- Stomper, the "mighty mogul,"
■ 1 • (apologies to Mr. Ferguson) re-
, turned a few days ago. We are
: . < ■ ■, indeed glad to have him back,
v Stortiper, as most of you know, has.
been at hpme for over two months
pn acount of an attack of illness.
We have that through the menus
Qf our good hostess, he will soon
• be in condition to "do his stuff'
.. ' in track.
;y Speaking of track .reminds me
, of the fact that one of our mem-
bers brought ft medal back from
> Fort Worth last week. ' Fitzgerald
< , « won second place.in the pole vault.
Incidentally, this was the only
; ,. place won by any Junjor college ni
, the state.
"Freshmen," our pride and our
hopes for future years, is in a pit:
iful condition at present. If any
of his friends should see him about
the campus now they,, would hardly
• ' recognize i him with his enormous
jaws. Yes, he has the mumps,
but he is doing nicely and expects
to be put again in a few days.
"Rosy"—it grieves me to speak
' of this—is in a sad state of being
now. Something has—come -over
the boy. He sits with that
thoughtful and faraway look in his
eyes. After diagnosing his case,
- . . I have decided'^ that the cause of
' •; his peculiar actions is a good case
of the S. A., although he is a shave-
tail in the band, we cannot help
respecting him for the many good
, qualities he has. Maybe there's
' . , hope for him yet.

Jesse ('■ Day and son, Volney Day
and Mrs.' Sheppard,, all of East-'
land, had dinner with us Monday.
Volney had been to. Tyler Commer-
cial College taking a business
course the last year. He spent
enough money to complete ' his
course here, not knowing the ad-
vantages that this school has to
offer* in business administration.
He-plans to come here next year.
WEST POINT'S ANNUAL
HUNDREDTH NIGHT SHOW
Hundredth Night derives its nan^e
from the fact that the day on which
it occurs is generally the hundredth
day of June, which month marks a
great mile-stone in the life of every
cadet. For with the first of June
comes West Point's fascinating June

those women who smoke are not
of the better status , of society. I
go: not care to defend smoking in
either sex but. I do believe there
are two sides to the question.
I have had occasion to observe
women/in almost every kind of
civic organization ahd their lead-
ers smoke cigarettes. At a recent
.national gathering of one of Am-
, erica's most prominent college fra
tern|ties, I saw the very elite of
that gathering smoking. The
women who are doing things in
the world, those whom the world
patterns after, have ,a_ great ma-
jority in the smokers class. City
people of today respect women
who smoke on about the sanje
plane as the men who smoke. And
the greater majority of our popu-
ctren should not smoke; men who
intend to rear children should not
smoke.. That should be as fair to
one as to the other. Then those
who violate this rule are the ones
who are held responsible, and the
other class, does" not worry. If
this be true, who should smoke?
The author says women today,
pattern after the boys and men
who smoke. . Well, they are her
every day companions, and> they
have always, thought themselves •
her superior; if they are the ex-
amples she would be a very dumb
follower to quit at that stage. It
is purely human nature to delight
in following the, leader, and wom-
an should be complimented in not
being./outdone by her constant
companion and guide. Reformers
today admit that either men will
stop smoking or women will in-
crease the use.
Let's have a democratic society
where all enjoy those things fit for
any part of, it. If I smoke, then
my husband or wife may do the
same. If I smoke, my boy or girl
most probably will do likewise, or
else they fail to follow, their God-
given example.
But my dear easayest, 'many qf
society's elite today smoke, and
the death rate is diminishing.
Facts are facts, ahd tolerant peo-
ple admit them.
I've done so much and thought
so much for a student publication;
I've cussed so much and perjured
my soul so much because of a stu-
dent publication'; I've eaten so lit-
tle and slept so little because I'm
on thei staff of a student publica-
tion; I've fussed and fummed and
fretted so much all because of' a
student publication, that I'd just
be mighty all-fired gol-darned
smart if I could write anything
for the Annual.

For anything in the line
of Groceries, We have it
Week, bringing with it cessation of
academic work for all classes and
graduation of the first elaas; In ad-
dition, it means First Camp (last sum-
mer encampment) for the second
class; two and a half months' fur-
lough for the third classmen; and so-
cial recognition by the upperelasses
for the plebes.
The Hundredth Night Show, either
a revue or a straight musical epmedy,
is always written and staged entirely
by the cadet's themselves. The lyrics
and music, the arrangement of dances
and choruses, the construction and
painting of scenery, the designing of
costumes, all are done by cadets. The
regular cadet orchestra is used for all
music.
Two performances, afternoon and
evening, are given in the cadet gym-
nasium, the only place available for
containing the two thousand cadets
and visitors who annually witness the
show. Hundredth Night , is probably
the most brilliant cadet social function
of the year. ^
The play is conducted under,/ the
auspices of the Dialoctic Society,
which traces its origins almost to the
foundation of the. Military Academy
itself. It is the outgrowth of two old
debating and philosophical societies.
In the last quarter of the past century,
the society turned its attention, to, pro-
viding lighter form of amusement for
its members. Today the, Dialoctic
Society includes the whole Corps of
.Cadets, and, in addition to staging the
annual Hundredth Night plays, it pro-
vides for* the various Sunday evening
enttrtainments during summer eamp. !

WOMEN WHO SMOKE AND
WHY
lation lives' in the city. The rest
of us follow the lead of the city.
Women have the same authority
to smoke as men and -they have
demonstrated it to a finished de-
gree. Is this 3 land of special
rights to some and unequal rights
tp all? Jyst how much worse is
it for a woman tp smoke than a
man ? You will search many days
to show any more ilf effect^ among
women than among men.
