Keeping up with its program of de-
velopment, St. Edward’s University
has made some additions this yeai' both
in the courses that are being offered
and in the laboratories.
A fighting, hard-hitting highly in-
spired St. Edward’s university football
team, coached by Jack Meagher, tram-
pled the Rice Institute Owls in a most
heartless fashion beneath a 31-0 score
on Oct. 6 at Houston.
If sufficient material is forthcoming
the St. Edward’s band will be organ-
ized in the near future, Professor Ru-
dolph, the director of music at St. Ed-
ward’s, has announced.
St. Edward’s University debaters
who will face the representatives of
the university of Sydney, Australia, in
San Antonio on Oct. 31, were selected
in a try-out held last Thursday.
venience and protection of the small
minority who stayed at home last sum-
mer.
A new buddy team is developing be-
tween Luck and “Ferocious” Starkie.
The flash calls Starkie “J. C.” and the
Galveston lad uses the unadulterated
“Haskell.”

DUMB DATA
Joint installation of officers has been
decided upon by the two Austin coun-
cils of the Knights of Columbus-
Capital City Council 1017, and St. Ed-
ward’s Council 2559.
Outplaying the Texas Tech Mata-
dors by piling up twenty first downs
to three for Tech, St. Edward’s never-
theless lost to the home team in a
game played at Lubbock last Saturday.
The score was 13-6.
Moving pictures to be shown at St.
Edward’s this year will be the best
that have ever been shown here ac-
cording to Fathei- Leo Heiser who is
in charge of the programs this year .
An oil well is now being drilled on
St. Edward’s property about three-
quarters of a mile southeast of the
main building of the university.
Basket ball men were called out on
Oct. 3 by Coach Thorny O’Connor.
Plans for the Homecoming Day on
Nov. 10, are moving- rapidly forward
under the direction of Elmore Borchers,
new secretary and treasurer of the As-
sociation of Former Students.
John Finn, ’30, is living in Dallas
with his mother, and has taken ove^
the management of his late father’s
business affairs. Most of his atten-
tion is devoted to running the most
modern wholesale Barber Supply house
in Dallas.

Norris: “I feel like punching you in
the nose again.”
Leyendecker: “What do you mean,
‘again?’ ”
Norris: “Well, I felt like that once
before.”
And up in Alton, Okla., is Gordon
Sweeney, that diminutive but vqry pop-
ular student from Fort Worth in ’26,
’27, and ’28. Gordon is married and
manager of the Swift company plant
in Alton.
A letter from New York recently
gave us the whereabouts of Newton
C. Wall, who graduated from the
Academy here in 1923. The missive,
written on board the S. S. W. C. Teagle,
informs us that Wall is in the employ 1*
of the Standard Shipping company ofl*
New York. To indicate that he is still
a loyal St. Edward’s man, we quote the
closing remarks of his letter: “Hoping
that St. Edward’s develops into the
foremost Catholic institution of the
country and that she has a successful
season on the gridiron, I remain,
“Yours very truly,
“NEWTON C. WALL.”

At the University of Edinburgh, in
Scotland, students are fined for cut-
ting classes. Each year the fines are
used to buy a Christmas present for
the president.

In formation from Michigan says
that Al Sarafiny, ’29, made his profes-
sional football debut this year with the
famous Green Bay Packers. Al is
playing right tackle and is probably
making a great success of the pro game
as he did when he starred in the Texas
conference years ago under the tute-
lage of Jack Meagher, ’25.

And while in Encinal, it must be
noted that Sidney James, student here
in 1929, was married in July to Miss
Kate Jordan, also of Encinal. Sidney
is now engaged in ranching.
It was proved at the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology that it is
cheaper to be a blond than a red-head
or brunette. This report is based on
poundage, blondes usually weighing
several pounds less than their darker
sisters.
A word to the wise is sufficient.
In the midst of the many activ-
ities that claim our interest we
are apt to overlook our purpose
in coming to college.
In just about two more weeks
the first examinations will be
upon us. Those who have real-
ized that there is a time for play
and a time for work, and who
have worked and played wisely
have nothing to fear. Those,
however, who have allowed their
dates, their picture shows, and
their dances to take the time of
their studies will have to do an
“about face” before it gets any
later. Because they have given
themselves too much to pleasure,
they must now give themselves
entirely to study.
There will be some, of course,
who will put off their studying
until two days before examina-
tions. Others have tried this
method and have found that it is
too late to think of repairing the
roof after it has started raining.
The wise student may profit
through the sad experience of
others; the unwise one must
learn for himself—and be placed
on probation.

From the
Northern part of
Indiana comes
the news that
Mattie Hosinski,
’32, is working
for the General-
Tire company im
South Bend. Ho-
sinski spent
eight years at St. Edward’s, 1924-1932,
finishing both Academy and College
work here. He plans to visit his Alma
Mater in January.

California’s favorite son, Winterbot-
tom, invaded new territory over the
past week-end. From all reports,
Houston folks tired of his movie col-
ony “hooey” sooner than the boys
around school. Of course the fellows
on the campus have no choice in the
matter.
Down the broad and wide open
spaces of Texas we find Watty James,
’29. Watty, with his
brothers Curley and
Byrnie, is operating
a ranch near Encinal.
He tends to the act-
ual management of
the ranch while Cur-
ley remains a mejh
ber of the St. Edward’s faculty affiT*
Byrnie spends his time as a member
of the New York Giants’ baseball team.

Dick Dobbins, ’28, who came here
from Eureka Springs, Ark., is now
head of the science department at Mar-
mion is a new school conducted by the
Benedictine Fathers and has an enroll-
ment of about 300 students. Dobbins
who won the physics medal at St. Ed-
ward’s is married and plans on organ-
izing at St. Edward’s club of the for-
mer students in and around Chicago.

Reggie Bourke, ’30, is practicing law
in Yoakum, Texas, and is said to be
building up a
large clientile.
Reggie studied
law at the Uni-
versity of Texas
after finishing
here, and passed
the Texas Bar
e x a m i nation
with one of the
highest averages
of his group.

Robert Reinarts, ’28, became the
proud father of a young son on Sept.
18. Bob was quite a chemistry “shark”
at St. Edward’s and is now connected
with a Chemical Supply house in Chi-
cago.
St. Edward’s has passed the
crisis. For a number of years
our University has been, ath-
letically, no more than mediocre.
Our teams have lost consistently
more games than they have won.
A long series of unsuccessful
years had created, inevitably, a
•complex of “defeatism” on the
campus. The students, accus-
tomed to defeats, shrugged their
shoulders and accepted them
more or less philosophically.
Theirs was not the “don’t care”
attitude, however. On the con-
trary, they cared much more
than they showed, for all the
world loves a winner and defeat
is distasteful to the best of losers.
But St. Edward’s has passed
the crisis. Something had to be
done; the series of defeats
couldn’t continue indefinitely.
Under the able tutelage of
Coaches Chevigny and Pierce the
team has shaken off its accus-
tomed losing streak and has
brought to St. Edward’s the long
talked of “new deal.”
What does this change mean to
us students at St. Edward’s ?
It means that we must adapt
ourselves to a new atmosphere.
If the sudden change finds us un-
prepared it will probably be too
much for us. A winning team
will do the University a world of
good, but a superiority complex
•among the students will offset
that good.
Let’s not overlook, in our en-
thusiasm, our real purpose in
coming to school. Athletics have
an important place, but they are
not intended to take the place of
our studies. Let’s adapt ourselves
to success and be thankful rather
than boastful. We must me mod-
erate in victory as we were philo-
sophical in defeat.

EXAMINATIONS

The proper means of loafing will be
the object of attainment in a new
course of instruction offered this fall
at Butler university, Indianapolis.
* * *
“Nut Culture” is one of the courses
offered at Oklahoma A. and M. col-
lege. In order to prevent any ambi-
guity the catalog adds, “study of pe-
cans, walnuts, etc., not maniacs.”
* * *
In a questionnaire sent out from
S.M.U. it was discovered that dancing
on the campus is rare in the South,
but it is the rule rather than the ex-
ception in northern schools. Only
eighteen of the sixty-seven schools
which answered reported the use of
the honor system in examinations.

Duke university authorities have
granted fraternities the privilege of
serving the foaming 3.2 beverage in
their houses and have also given them
the power of making their own rules
and regulations regarding the con-
sumption of harder beverages.
(Editor’s Note: The Echo will appreciate and will print all interesting news items about ex-
students that are sent into the office. Only through the co-operation of live Former students can
this column be kept alive and interesting.)
Bert Riviere, student here from 1904
to 1907, is now president of the First
National Bank of Liberty, in Liberty,
Texas. Bert is quite a golfer, but at
present is under the care of a physi-
cian and unable to play as much as
usual. His brother Tink, who was here
from 1916 to 1919, and who was for-
merly a big league ball pitcher is now
representing an insurance company and
handling a beer distributing agency.
Joe, the younger brother, is studying
for the priesthood . . . also a baseball
enthusiast.

Three years of Sunday school at-

students at Colorado university who
are caught drinking. The Colorado
School of Mines has a ruling which
prevents sophomores paddling the

“I use my head.”

It is evident that all Freshmen are
dumb, but here’s one we can’t figure
out. Freshman Weissler was so inter-
ested in his work that he forgot to
go home last week.
