IN M BATHTUB
Living almost la Brady and not hav-
ing a mode of conveyance the Medita-
tor has been wet most of thin week
consequently he has done some brain
expending.
The one thing that Is most import-
ant this week is the announcement
that the Collegian may go into the
hands of the receivers unless some of
the businesses of this fair city jar
loose with a rew ads. it taxes money
to do things and though you may
doubt it the Collegian is a thing. The
students of the college should support
the advertisers of the Collegian.
The Meditator has never believed
in peace never believed that peace
could possibly prevail for any great
length of time. In fact a dispute up-
roar commotion tumult general hos-
tility and war are brewing in and
around the Collegian office. This
aforementioned workshop is a place
of business and not of pleasure. If
you are going to do nothing please
don't do it in the Collegian office. The
Meditator wishes to inform all that
he will do all the smoking and curs-
ing that is to be. done in said office.
Please comply!
The Meditator Is more or less a
neurotic if a thing is brought to his
attention many times he is surely to
become nervous and to dwell on the
problem to no little degree and then
comes the day when he must expound
or explode. The expounding or (ex-
pectorating) stage has arrived the
disorder of the Collegian office Medi-
tator warns you if he explodes 'twill
be no pretty sight.
Upon counting the ballots of the
questionnaire recently Issued it is
noted that the most popular column
Is "Just Snoopin' Around"; second
"Don't You Think So?"; third "Casts
and Forecasts"; fourth "Not Hole
Nonsense" (a professor voted for this
one wonder why?); fifth "Ye Opln-
ttor" (and again a professor selects);
sixth "It Takes All Kinds"; seventh
"Meditatin' in the Bath Tub" at last
the editor scores; what's this some-
thing else say how many columns
arc there in this paper anyway? Any-
how "Exchange" is slotted in number
tight and you could knock me over
with a brick there is "Tantalizing

lar one bright voter said that she
took enough exams without doing one

The question: What would you have

rom the business manager. His col
umn: "It Takes All Kinds" though it
ranked sixth place as being the beat
was the only one requested to be omit-
ted. There were Beven neighs. The

Pans Varsity for
A. C. C. Game Sat.
Playing about the sorriest brand of
football of the season the Billies dop-
ed to cosily smash the A. C. C. Wild-
cats did well to get off with a 6-8 tie
last Friday night in Abilene. The Bil-
lies started off like a house afire but
this show of energy soon blew off to
lands of the unknown and from then
on it was a show of Wildcats. From
tho first quarter on the Billies were
never able to make a first down; had
it not been for the brilliant punting
of Reeves Hickman and "Skipper"
Howard the Billies would have prob-
ably lost the game.
Hickman's punt deep into the Wild-
cat tcrtitory early in the second quar-
ter paved the way for the only Billle
counter. A. C. C. on their own twenty
yard line attempted to punt on the
third down but Roach the scrapping
Billle center broke through and block-
ed the kick. He scooped up the loose
ball and raced ten yards for the coun-
ter. The try for extra point failed.
The half ended with the score 6-0 in
favor of the Billies.
The Wildcats came back in the sec-
ond half and tore mto the Billies with
such fury that in spite of the numer-
ous chances to score they failed hope
lessly in every departmnt especially
the blocking and inttereference a
great deal more hlnderfearance was
run than interference.
On the opening play of the fourth
quarter Anderson weaved his way
through tackle for the only counter
for the Cats. Their try for extra
point was wide. And so another game
goes by.
Roach Snodgruss unci Morris were
easily the outstanding stars for the
Billies. Snodgruss chalked up three
of the four first downs the home club
made.

Howard Payne
Apsinner
of Conference
Joe Bailey Chcaney and McAdoo
Keaton along with the Yellow Jackets
of Howard Payne College gained un-
disputed right to the Texas Confer-
ence championship Inst Friday after-
noon when the McMurry Indians tommy-hawked
the Southwestern Pirates
off the gridiron with a very decisive
score. Those seeing the game say
that McMurry should have won by a
much larger score than 13-0.
Tho Jackets have only one more
conference gomo this season that be-
ing with Southwestern In Brownwood
Thanksgiving. Howard Payne are
designating this day as Home Coming
Day. Many exes are expected to at-
tend the program as well as the game.
In the past seven years tho Jackets
have undisputed rights to five Texas
Conference championships; they tied
Simmons University for another
Simmons refused to play Howard
Payne to break the tie; the other year
left of the seven found the Jackets
in the runner-up slot for the cham-
pionship. Yep all comcrB have to hand
It to the boye over there. They have
what it takes coaches spirit finan-
cial support student body support and
ample material to select teams from.
As long as the Billies could not win
we the sports department of the Col-
legian are glad to say that the Jack-
ets are the champs. However we
would certainly appreciate a post sea-
son game with the Payne boys.
Football has been played for 4000
years. Chinese Emperors played In
the youthful days.

Pep Squad In Final I
Ml of Year
Between the halves of the Daniel
Baker-McMurry game the pep squad
performed probably for the last time
as an organization since that was the
last home game scheduled; and so far
nothing has been said about the pep
squad going to the games at other
schools. But this is no indication that
that bunch of girls who have support-
ed the team so enthusiastically thru
thick and thin will not be the same
loyal group in civilian clothes that
they are in the blue and white. When
you see a loyal rooter at the coming
games forget her dignity and cheer
rnadly for the Baker team think of
the hours she has probbaly spent in
drill under the untiring leadership of
Maurine Charnquist and follow her
lead in yelling for those Billies. Power
to you team.
Miss Canon Gives
Boobs to Library
This Week
Miss Frances E. Canon teacher of
Latin in the Brownwood High School
donated the first books of the current
Book Week call. The books are:
"Talks to Teachers on Psychology"
(and to students on some of life's
Ideals) by William James; "The
Method of the Recitation" by Mc-
Murry. The librarian and the faculty wish
to thank Miss Canon for the donation.
There is a list of books recorded in
this Collegian that the library Is in
much need of. If you happen to have
any of them if you feel in the mood
to buy one of them the school would
be very thankful. Though we have
a splendid library we do need more
modern books and magazines. Please
help!
World Faces Long
Era of Prosperity
Rev . Louis Entzminger of San An-
tonio citing from the sixth chapter
of Revelations stated that the world
is facing a long era of prosperity.
The wave of prosperity is typified
by the Rider of the White Horse as
described in that book the pastor
said adding: "I wouldn't be surprised
If the change came as early as next
Spring."
World Dictator Seen
The "Rider" said Reverend Entz-
minger will be a world dictator and
not unlike Mussolini Hitler or Roose-
velt. "Look at our Inventions. Are they
not bringing our world closer togeth-
er? Certainly! The airplanes carry-
ing thousands can fly to Jerusalem In
a day. And Palestine will be the cen-
ter of the world."
Righteousness Due
The period of tribulation and judg-
ment will follow a three and a half
year period of prosperity during
which the devil will reign on earth
In a welter of bloodshed and strife
according to the pastor. Christ will
then set up a reign of righteousness.
"There will be no more graft then
because mayors and commissioners
and tax collectors all will be glorified
saints" the Reverend declared.
Reverend Entzminger is the pastor
of the Tabernacle Batplst Church of
San Antonto.

classroom and the film theater have

tures coming out of Hollywood can

Dr. Ralph Winn
Starts a Move to
Improve Curricula
New York City Nov. 2. .ACP) A
nation-wide campaign for revision of
the present day educational system
has been launched here by Dr. Ralph
B. Winn of the College of the City of
New York philosophy department.
In a statement which contained a
burning denunciation of educational
institutions in the United States Dr.
Winn outlined the changes he would
make In their curricula.
Claiming that education has not
made any progress for so long that
It has become "irrational and obsoles-
cent" Dr. Winn proceeded to decry
the fact that nobody seems to be mak-
ing a "sincere and serious" study of
educational problems with the Intent
of suggesting really valid changes
will make of education a "useful and
pleasurable activity" not a mere for-
mality of collecting credits and points.
He asked a curriculum that "pre-
pares us for life by revealing its
deeper significance and value; that
gives us a better understanding of
self society and the world." He claim-
ed that one of the purposes of higher
education should be "the building of
leaders in every branch of human en-
deavor." He asserted that the present sys
tem of education is not fulfilling any
of Its purposes nor is it yielding any
worthwhile return; that "a little Job
in a department store or at a gaso-
line station" is not an adequate of
sufficient compensation for the addi-
tional time devoted to learning."
Dr. Winn believes that the admin
istration the faculty and the students
of schools should meet In friendly dis
cussion to work out a satisfactory
program which would fulfill all the
requirements he gave and remove all
the vices he cited.
He wants to eliminate cramming
and the waste of time and to substi
tute therefor a program that will de
velop the mind character and taste.
He wants to eliminate quantity in
education and the educated and to
have Instead quality In both. Educa
tional institutions are he claimed
"capable of great contributions to
science the arts and humanity" If
they make proper use of the "facili-
ties they possess for study and re-
search." The time has come for action he
said In his statement; the time for
promises Is gone. The time has come
he intimated for politics and business
to be removed from education and for
truth and learning to take their pla-
Dr. Winn received prominence last
semester when he conducted an extra-
academic class of students to prove
that learning under a state of hyp-
nosis was more permanent and satis-
factory than learning under ordinary
conditions as the Instructor was bet-
ter able to hold the undivided atten-
tion of his pupils.

elected president of the Brownwood
Klwanls Club.
BAD MANNERS
Among the magazines coming to
my desk is Scholastic national high
school weekly which Mtcums .to me to
talk straight from the shoulder to the
students.
Not long since It contained an ex-
cellent little sermon on good manners
which unfortunately we often regard
as a matter of secondary importance.
In the real sense of the term how-
ever good manners are the very foun-
dation stone of character because by
the phrase we do not mean merely
the social graces certain drawing
room gestures but true consideration
tolerance kindness and intelligent
comprehension of the rights of others
which always distinguish the real gen-
tleman and lady.
There can be no denying the fact
that bad manners have marked the
period from which we are now emerg-
ing. Both home and school seem to
have failed us here since social affairs
in the Immediate past have sometimes
been notable for flagrant misdemean-
ors; young rowdies of both sexes have
broken up furniture In homes and the
clubs behaving while under the influ
ence of too many cocktails in a man
ner which would never have been tol
erated In decent society 20 years ago.
And children are by no means the
only culprits. Middle-aged men and
women have not set them any too
good an example in this respect for
the ribald elders sometimes behave as
if they had been reared in a Bowery
saloon.
I believe we do not always realize
how our social conduct can carry over
into our public attitudes. We've only
to look at motorists who hog the high-
way and give no thought to other
drivers to know this Is true. For such
rudeness Is undoubtedly the outgrowth
of bad manners at home or else bad
manners at home are the result of this
general invlcillty on city streets.
Probably a good many of our
crimes both petty and great have
their origin In the discourtesy of the
small boy and girl. At any rate the
fundamental of good citizenship and
the first maxim of good manners are
tho same consideration for the rights
of others.
