the college concert Itand went to
Honey Grove Monday night to
participate in the first of a ser-
; ies of programs in dedication of
the new $110,000 high school build-

nell on "The Place of Education
in American Democracy," Graham
directed the itand in a varied musi-
cal program.
Because several members of the
college faculty were once connect-
ed with the Honey lirove school
system. Dr. McConnell said that j
there is a close feeling between j
the college and that school. First ■
superintendent of the Honey Grove
high school, Dr. McConnell said,
was Dr. J. S. Kendall, who later
became president of this college.
P. E. McDonald, present regis-!
tear of the college who has been |
on the faculty .10 years, was super-
intendent of the school from 1904- j
1909, and Mrs. Pearl McCracken,j

tional House of Representatives. |
Local Airmen Fall Out' Early
To Get in Flying Time, Study
Shades of Omar Khayyam and old Kmg Tilt! in the best tradition
of the Rulmiyat. Alva Montgomery reads from his book of verse for
co-ed Edith McElheny under a tree in the campus "wilderness," all
equipped with a jug of wine and a loaf of bread.
The two are giving an imaginary workout to the latest acquisi-
tion of the Teachers College museum, a wine jug that saw service long
before Omar and his rhymes, way back in the days of King Tut. The
ornate wine container was taken from the tomb of King Tut in Egypt,
and although the evil spell of the tomb is legend throughout the world,
college museum workers profess to be optimistic about its influence.
Pretty brunette Miss McElheny, president "f the college Press
Club, smiles encouragingly at Montgomery, International Relations
prcxy and student assistant in the museum, as he agrees with Omar
enthusiastically that with the verse, the wine jug, the bread, and a
"Thou" in the shapely Miss McElheny "Ob, Wilderness were Para-
disc enow!"

Halloween to Bring
Large Turnover—
In Spooks and Pennies
Spare spooks and extra pennies

ticipate in the annual Halloween
carnival held in Harriss gym and

Water Water Nowhere;
How the Boys Did Shriek,
As Chilton Goes Dry
"Water, water nowhere and how
;the boys did shriek." Such was
[the cry f the boyj. in Chilton
hall when they rolled out of bed
last Monday morning to find them-
selves waterless because the city
was having trouble with one of
the pumps that supplies the I toy's
dormitory.
One student managed by some
method to get a coke bottle full
of water from the pipes, then
guarded it with his life, and man-
aged to shave, but most of the
Chiltonites went to school with
fuxsy faces.
Some of the residents of the
dorm rushed in, lathered their
faces with the trickle of water
that came from the near-empty
pipes, and then had no water to
wash soao off. Frightened fresh-
worried over rumors that a
Imcket brigade was to be formed
to the nearest water supply. The
rumor died later in the morning
when water once more was to be
had.
At breakfast, water in the glass-
es contained tiny air bubbles,
and students accused waiters of
the old drug store trick of giving
them carbonated water.
At noon the potatoes were cooked
at Marquis hall and carried by
shuttle service to the boy's dorm.
The climax of the situation came
when it was discovered that one
resident, a graduate science stu-
dent, had applied his technical
knowledge to obtain a bath. He
simply went to the laundry room
in the basement of the dorm,
turned on the water in one of the
laundry tubs, and gravity did the
reat.
Recommendation
Is Made for ROTC
Unit on Campus
A recommendation that a sen-
ior ROT'' unit be established at
North Texas State Teachers Col-
lege will tie mad*' to the War De-
partment, Colonel E. A. Keyes of
Fort Sam Houston said Tuesday,
following his inspection visit to
the college in connection with its
application for such a unit.
There is nothing which would
make impossible the functioning
of such a unit at the college, Colo-
nel Keyes said at the close of his
inspection of the college plant.
Recently North Texas was en-
couraged by Colonel Keyes to Die
its application for a senior ROTC
unit after inquiry had been made
as to whether the War Department
considered the establishment of
such units at additional colleges
this year. First inquiry had al-
ready been made by President W.
J. McConnell enrly in the summer,
when word was received that no
other units were then contem-
plated.

The board of education was lit-
erally sat upon last Saturday when
an over-capacity crowd of young
psychologists tripled-up in a bus
and struck out for Terrell. Boards
were placed lietween seats across
the aisle- it being thought more
proper to shift around on them
than to relax on the floor of the
bu*.
Dr. Merl Bonne,y, of the educa-
tion department, "chaperoned" be-
tween 50 ami 90 students from
psychology clauses and the Psy-
chology Club on an annual trip to
the State Insane Asylum, where
an open-discussion clinic was held
in the psycopathic hospital there.
Actual ( ases
Thus the casus that are rather
abstractly studied in the school-
room are brought before the
group in far from alwtract form
examples of different forms of in-
sanity were set iiefore the class,
and everybody was allowed to
question and converse with each
patient as he desired. Then a diag-
nosis from the questioner* was
asked for.
Being told that a person is men-
tally maladjusted and being able
to say in what respect* and why
after talking to him are two dif-
ferent things. Some of the men who
came in refused to talk at all, and
others were unusually garrulous
and incoherent, declaring fantastic
things to be true.
Case History
However, there ta a reason for
being User*; dMW it
a ease history for every one, show-
ing a gradual mental decay over
the years, the original cause lieing
buried back in childhood or early
adolescence.
Students quixxed victims of
schizophrenia, or dementia praecox
patients as they are more often
called, but in most instances with
little success. Two of the boy* re-
fused to move when brought be-
fore the group, and only blinked at
the light when asked a question.
There were two paretics the be-
ginning paralytic stage of syphilis
who fancied themselves mistreat
ed, bearing the burdens of the
world, and in constant communica-
tion with ti e spirits who control
the universe.
Ten Spirits
One of them declared that the
voices supposedly coming out of
the radio were really he ten spir
its of creation speaking to him and
directing Mm. Another had had H9
boats, and the government had
blown them up; likewise, the lot
where his home was had been de-
stroyed by bomb* sent by the gov-
ernment.
Everytime this man huiit a boat,
he told the class, someone would
fly over in a plane, lower a funnel
from the plane to his l oat, and
drop a bomb down through the fun-
nel so it would hit in the exact
center of his craft.
Aa Epileptic
An epileptic came in, not to be
questioned but to exhibit the
1 Qti'ittiOTi « nv
mographia. The lightest touch on
his skin anywhere left very defi-
nite, red impressions which re-
mained for twveral minutes. Such a
thing is not restricted to psyco-
pathic cases it is found occasion-
ally in normal individuals. Some-
one suggested that, It would be

Students Find Job
Not as Simple
As Auto Driving
By EDITH McELHENY
Whtle the majority of Teachers
College students are just stretch-
ing out of bed, to the insistence
of KDNT's "Yawn Patrol." there
is a group of "Dawn Patrolmen"
at the Denton Municipal airport
already up and meeting the sun
halfway.
First sight that greets old Sol
in the morning is that of the
"wings" of the student pilot*—
two neat little cub sport trainers,
tlfi-horsopower motor*, with an
average cruising speed of 8! miles
an hour. Canary yellow dual-con-
trolled ships, they're rolled out of
their shining 00 by «!l) foot sheet
metal hangar, tuned-up, and purr-
ing overhead by 7:30, an instruc-
tor and a pupil in each plane.
Difficult Matter
Learning to use one's wings ia
not us simple as mastering the art
of pushing down the clutch on
Dad's first Model A, or yanking
the cord on on outboard motor.
Ask some of the 20 fledglings in
the Civil Pilot Training Unit, and
let them tell you what it takes.
There is no "busting" a final in
this course- for, "no paaa um test,
no fly um ship."
Ground school consists of hour
class recitations, where meteorol-
ogy probes into the mysteries of
the weather; systems of pilotage
are studied, dead reckoning and
use of radio aids, navigation, in-
struments, nnd map reading in
navigation; and Civil Air Regu-
lations, aircraft engines, flight
maneuvers, aerodynamics, instru-
ment maintenance, and parachutes,
in aircraft operation are care-
fully explained.
Midnight Oil
An hour a day of such subjects
means many hours of night prep-
aration, for, again, there is that
government-given final that must
be pasucd in order to obtain a pri-
vate license.
Almost as soon as the Teachers
College birdmen began their
ground training, they were ini-
tiated into the thrill of actual fly-
ing, going up and feeling the con-
trols and manipulating the stick
and rudder.
First Solo
There have been two weeks of
such experiences for the trainees,
