WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?
By Gerald Smith
We have a very important game coming up. On the very
eve of this game the entire student body seems to grow stale.
We can't even yell loud enough to be heard. Last Monday night
we people who have a heritage of pep and spirit could not even
give a yell every one knows.
Whats' the matter? Are we losing that good old Spirit?
Are we going to permit our men who work so hard to enter a
game without our moral support ? If so we are a bunch of culls.
We can't let the men down without losing something worth
more than gold or silver. Come on Seniors Juniors. Come on
Sophomores and Freshmen lets back our Jackets be at Pep
Rally every night and yell. Don't let the twelfth man dre.
IS THIS IT?
A blood-soaked vice-crazed and debauched "Little Caesar"
holds at bay a city of multitudes situated on Lake Michigan; he
"thumbs his nose" at the Federal Government in the meanwhile
perpetuating his butchery. A dormant body of politicians steep-
ed deep in personal desire for riches undertakes to run the most
powerful nation on the face of the earth while that nations citi-
zens themselves interested in the speeds at which their high-
powered cars will travel kindly shake a speculative head with
the implied attitude that they are too busy for such tribles.
Money has become the god of millions it has covered their
eyes with a film that were it removable all would not seek to
remove. It has filched its way into the church it has placed its
tarnishing talons upon some of the tongues of God's Own annoint-
ed prophets until they no longer have the unanimous respect of
the populace. Banks are failing business shutting doors while
its owners sit at home and listen to a radio report of the World
Series. In short God's prophesy is being fulfilled.
The world at the present rate will not last long. It is not
being destroyed by flames either. Graft has slowly taken its toll
and will continue to until the end humanity will NEVER learn.
DID YOU STOP TO THINK?
No doubt you have noticed the "H" on the front page of this
"rag." It represents a little endeavor upon the part of the staff
of this paper but still it could have been accomplished without the
aid of one of the best Linotype men in Texas P. H. Charnquist.
It is one thing to lay out an attractive front page decoration such
as this but it is highly another to set such devices up on the
machine. All to say when seemingly little things and creations as
this appears in these columns remember that they represent time
and work upon the part of both the editor and the compositor.
We thank you gentlemen.
Having had or taken an off period
in our exhausting school work we
have had time to find out the meaning
of the word at the top of the column.
The authority we used was brief and
to the point but unfortunately the
meaning of the definition has escaped
us at this time. If we get time away
from the strenuous work of keeping
up with Coach Cheaney in his class
we will try it again.
One of the main things this week
is the fact we are to have a football
game with Daniel Baker. Not being
the sport writer for this journal we
will not attempt to prognosticate the
eventual outcome of the struggle. Suf-
fice it to say that we are not at all
confident of the outcome of the game
and either way it goes will not sur-
prise us.
Naturally we have a yen to win
and hope we do by fair means not by
means of the referee or other officials.
We won last year but this is not last
year and the game is yet to be play-
ed. Be present at the game in the
cheering section and put the twelfth
man on the field.
And our friend the beaming editor
of the official organ of this institution
of higher learning is having troubles
of his own. He and his co-workers
are having a deficiency disease called
lack of "Reddlmuny." It is in connec-
tion with the publishing of the paper
not personally tho that worries them
too. Bear with them and receive the
reward of your virtuous act.
Now for the important part of this
spasm. In our last contribution of
this sort we appended a apragraph
that read quite nicely. It said that
this column was for the use of the
at Brownwood Texas
mail matter.
$1.50
students of Howard Payne in any way
they saw fit. except the way of aboli-
tion. In other words if there are
questions bothering you write it in to
the Jacket and address this column
and your woes will be disposed of with
ease and celerity.
If the girl you love does not return
your affections and you want to know
why tell it to the nomologist and all
will be explained. If you are busting
a course or two it is probably because
the teacher does not like you but to
be on the safe side let this master
mind solve the question. Seymor K.
Q. Gumshu will be called into consul-
tation if necessary.
The question under discussion this
week more than any other deals with
the pep meetings. Far be it from us
to say derogatory things about the
student body but the pep meetings
lack many things. Chief amongst
which happens to be attendance. The
students may be present in body but
their spirit are elsewhere. There is
nothing wrong with the cheer leaders
or the yells so it must be with the
students. Why not yell for a change.
It is a proven fact that we have not
awakened the echoes against the
mountains this year for the first time
in history. Something must be done
about the situation.
When first we heard of the permanent
wave
We hoped that it might haste
The dawn of the day when a woman
could have
Also a permanent waist.
In this day of automobiles and air-
planes we very seldom hear of Mary's
lamb following her to school any
more at sixty per. Utah Humbug.
B. S. U COUNCIL
HOLDS REGULAR
SESSION THURS
The B. S. U. Council met last Thurs-
day evening In regular session. After
a brtef devotional a business meeting
was held.
The questions about the time and
the preacher for the annual college
revival were discussed but no definite
action was taken.
The State B. S. U. convention in
Belton October 30th to November 1st
was brought to the attention of the
body. A good program has been plan-
ned with outstanding Baptist leaders
taking part. Also entertainment for
the convention will be provided by
Belton College.
Before adjournment it was voted to
place the Baptist Student's Magazine
in the library.

; jiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii'iiiiiriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!
Uppc.s h".ve you ever witnessed
anything so blinding as the celestial
liehts of outstanding Freshmen on
this campus? Absolutely some Fresh-
men are just too upstanding to de-
serve a whipping. In fact they arc
sons of mothers and fathers just like
you and I why should they conde-
scend to enter into the idle pasttimes
of the Uppers? No there is abso-
lutely nothing that can compare with
even the most insignificant Freshman;
not even a woman can equal their de-
gree of I-know-it-all-ness. In truth a
Freshman can make himself the most
outstanding and yet the most insig-
nificant figure on the campus. Don't
ask how that is his own personal
accomplishment. Nothing is more
comical than an over-ambitious Fresh-
man. The college could not get along
without Freshmen for Freshmen add
a little cheer and amusement to the
sterner realities of study. There must
always be a little of the ridiculous
with the sublime you know and the
Freshmen are it the latter. Chapel
speakers even pray upon the ignor-
ance of the Slime; upon the dormant
egotism that resides in that otherwise
oidinary body. They realize that the
best and easiest way in which to get
a big hand is to make some crack at
the Upper or boast about the Slimes.
Freshmen fall hard for this stuff for
they are just out of high school. You
know Uppers all one has to do to win
the applause of a dog is to pat it on
the head and praise it a little. We
just wonder if Freshmen ever saw it
thus.
Another weakness of Freshmen is
that they will invariably write home
and tell their folks just how much of
an influence they exert at their new
college (get that their part.) If a
Freshmen is made to wash off the
paint on the campus he tells of it
in this way when writing home
'deer Pa Gee Pa I'm giitln' to be
quite a noise hear at old H. P. C.
The Uppers think so much of me that
they let me help clean up this hear
Fine Arts building. I don't know what
fine arts means but" and so on into
the middle of the night. Poor crea-
tures they should be pitied rather
than ridiculed.
Whenever you see a human creature
that so closely resembles that famous
animal with the long ears who loudly
brays his common weaknesses of ego-
tism to the secret amusement of the
Upper; or whenever you see this same
creature exert all humanly possible in-
fluence towards answering every ques-
tion incidently seasoning it with his
most bountiful wit and opinions you
must know that he is one of two
things: He is either a dumb Fresh-
man or a ministerial student hunting
a good grade.
Of course by the time they reach
the normal stage of college existence
they have merged themselves into the
thinking class of the campus the
Uppers. By that time they are serene
of countenance pious of disposition;
in fact they are so pious that they
don't even care about making their
inferiors new slimes come out to pep
meetings. We leave it up to you to
decide which is the worst.
Incidently the reason the Uppers
have failed to come out to pep rallies
Was because they were not reared
right as Slimes.

Debate Outlook
Bright According
To Debate Club
It seems that "The Art of Persua-
sion Beautiful and Just" for the com-
ing year of 1931-32 will be as ade-
quately and enthusiastically developed
as in any of the past years of forensic
history at Howard Payne at least so
far as the work of the Dbating club
organized by Mrs. Whitney with
Brooke D. Smith as president can
forecast.
Thursday evening's program feat-
ured the first women's debate of the
season on the question "Resolved
That the States should maintain a
system of higher education for neg-
roes in Che South." Misses Luclle Nee-
ly and Onita Tucker upheld the affir-
mative side of the question with the
Misses Jessie Tatom and Shirley Cun-
ningham representing the negative.
Larry Schurman acted as chairman
with Glen Raley Brooke Smith and
Clyde Goodnight serving as judges.
The club which was organized at
the first of the school term has as its
purpose the fostering of forensic ac-
tivities in Howard Payne and is mo-
tivated by a growing interest on the
part of its membership toward this
aim. All students who have a desire
to engage in forensic work this year
are invited to line up with the Debat-
ing club Thursday evening October 8.
Min. Council
Meets Tuesday
The Ministerial Council met Tues-
day evening and after the reading of
the minutes of the previous meeting
Mrs. G. S. Whitney head of the Ex-
pression department spoke concern-
ing some plays that she was going to
sponsor. The Council voted its appro-
val of this work and pledged co-operation
with this department.
A parllmentary law drill was then
engaged in. A. A. Brian led the drill
and the regular form of a business
meeting of the church was carried out.
THEY ADVERTISE
A hen is not supposed to have
Much common sense or tact
Yet every time she lays an egg
She cackles forth the fact.
A rooster hasn't got a lot of
Intellect to show
But none the less most roosters have
Enough good sense to crow.
The busy litle bees they buzz
Bulls bellow and cows moo
The watch-dog barks the gander
quacks
And doves and pigeons coo.
The peacock spreads his tail
and
squawks.
Pigs squeal and robbins sing
And even serpents know enough
To hiss before they sting.
But man the greater masterpiece
That nature could devise
Will often stoy and hesitate
Before he'll advertise.
HOW TO BECOME POPULAR AT
A FRATERNITY HOUSE
(For Freshmen)
Kick about the meals. Tell about
the swell dinners you had at prep
school.
Refuse to learn the fraternity songs
and chapter roll. Say it takes time
from your studies.
Start a bull session every study
hour.
Get into heated arguments with the
president on the management of the
house.
Refuse to do any work around the
house. Explain you came to college
for culture.
Make repeated requests for redec-
oration o fstudy room.
Air your opinions on how the house
should have been built.
Buy a loud alarm clock set it for
4:30 every morning but sleep thru.
Never buy cigarets razor blades or
writing paper. Bum them from the
upperclassmen.
Tell the football men they oueht to
be out for more activities. Lehigh
tsurr.
The purpose of an education is to
help find the truth in order that we
may do the right. Dr. Boyd Edwards.

A POEM ON BONES
Which Are You
The bones in the body
Are two hundred or more;
But for sorting out people
We need only four.
Wish-Bone People:
They hope for they long for
They wish for and sigh;
They want things to come but
Aren't willing to try.
Funny-Bone People:
They laugh grin and giggle
Smile twinkle the eye;
If work is a joke sure
They'll give it a try.
Jaw-Bone People:
They scold jaw and splutter
They froth rave and cry;
They're long on talk but
They're short on try.
Back-Bone People:
They sti ike from the shoulder
They never say die;
They're winners in life for
They know how to try.

Mildred Cramer
Will Assist In
Cheer-Leading
A precedent extending from as far
back as the oldest student on the cam-
pus can remember has been broken
with the selection of a girl as assist-
ant cheer leader. Mildred Creamer
freshman from San Saba has the hon-
or of being the first girl to hold this
position certainly fiom as far back as
1921 and possibly in the history of
the school.
Miss Creamer was cheer leader in
San Saba High school before she
came to Howard Payne and excited
much favorable comment from her as-
sociates there. Since she has been
here she has entered into the spirit of
things and become one of the leaders
of the freshmen girls. Her election
to this office is proof that her work
has been acceptable even in the short
time she has been on the campus.
