ATHLETICS: Mar. 25, ’26. “One
of the chief athletic events of the
season will be street-car sprinting.
The contestant runs ahead of the
street-car for a block; if he wins,
the conductor lets him on; if he
loses he gets run over. . . .Another
event might be the drugstore re-
lay. The student must get a coke
at the corner drug-store between
the time the bell rings and class
starts,

PUBLICITY: Mar. 25. “The

Apr. 6. “Letter Men Are Hon-
ored. Letters will be presented to
the boys who helped to make the
University Junior College basket-
ball team a success. The follow-
ing will be granted the privilege of
wearing the college letter after
public presentation: Capt. Clyde
Lightfoot, Mgr. Elmer Schram,
Fernando Uribe, Tom Dickson,
Frank Engle, Julius Conrads, Ed-
ward Hall, Leroy Haverlah.
“The committee appointed to de-
sign the letters was composed of
Helen Upshulte, Martha King and
Vivian Waters. It was considered
very apt that the committee should
consist of girls, as they will prob-
ably wear the boys’ sweaters in
Ae future.”
Election of El Alamo favorites
Friday and Saturday, March 19
and 20, resulted in the choice of
Dudley Gowland for most popular
boy; John T. Luter for most rep-
resentative boy; Lou Stovall for
most popular girl; and Maxine
Wood for most representative girl.
Favorites were chosen by a sys-
tem of ten cent poll tax; the pur-
chase of the tax enabling one to
vote in the election. Voting was
carried on during two days, Fri-
day and Saturday, March 19 and
20; and votes were counted by
Dean Albert assisted by Miss
Maxine Wood, editor of El Alamo.
Winners in this contest will have
their pictures in the favorite sec-
ion of the annual along with the
.ctures of the king and queen of
he Adda Dabba Carnival. Money
o pay for the cost of the favorite
.ection was obtained from the sale
-f the poll taxes. Payment of the
poll tax also enabled the purch-
ser to attend the last showing of
inior College’s state play, “The
1 in the Coffin”.
Miss Wood stated after the elec-
tion, “I’m glad so many people
had their hand in the election, and
t’m also glad that I have enough
noney now to pay for the favorite
.ection.”
Today marks the eleventh birth-
day of the JUNIOR RANGER.
On March 25, 1926, at the Univer-
' sity Junior College-then conduc-
ted in the form of night classes at
Tech—appeared a twelve-inch, two
column mimeographed publication
with eight pages and high ambi-
tions.
Two weeks later the JUNIOR
RANGER made its second appear-
ance, this time linotyped, with
three columns, blue ink, and a bona
fide staff duly elected by the stu-
dent body.
These and subsequent crusading
RANGERS are now yellowed cur-
iosities from which, through the
courtesy of their present guardian
Dr. Baskin, the following oddsa
and endsa are extracted in cele-
bration of the nearest we can come
to joining the current rash of cen-
tennials.
Regular Sunday evening pro-
gram of Junior College’s Musical
Club over KMAC at 6:00 o’clock
will be arranged this week by Miss
Julia Helen Shireman, member of
the club. Her plans as announced
Tuesday were tentative.
On last week’s program Martha
Steinmetz played Chopin’s “Pre-
lude in E Minor”; Archie Heap
sang “Old Man River”; Albert
Prucha played “Goodnight My
Love”; George Oge played on his
saxophone, “I’m Getting Temper-
amental Over You”; Lou Stovall
sang “Dedicated To You”; Doris
Yeargan accompanied the vocal
numbers on the piano.
Phi Theta Kappa vocabulary con-
test will be held this morning dur-
ing regular student meeting time
in Room 2.
One hundred words will be of-
fered to all contestants with five
synonyms for each word from
which the one correct one is to
be chosen.
Two prizes are offered to the
winners of this contest: a five
dollar prize for first place, a two-
fifty prize for second place.
All students of Junior College
are urped to participate in this
contest in order to prove their
ability at word defination and in
order to improve their own vocab-
ularies.
On Wednesday of this week the
extempore speaker orators of the
Junior College journeyed to Kerr-
ville to compete in the first half
of the District Speech Meet. There
■ were three speakers entered in
■ girls’ extempore and in boys’ and
girls’ oration.
Virginia Gooch who entered the
. extempore is well known to all the
college as last year’s second place
winner in the state.
' spoke of “Women in National Af-
fairs.”
Mona Maud Hall who entered
the girl’s oration is an ex-Brack-
' enridge debater, having been on
the girls’ team last year.
Bert Thompson entered the boys’
oration speaking on “The Inde-
pendence of the Working Man.”
The second half of the District
Meet will be held in San Antonio
on April 2 when teams from four
colleges meet to debate the wage-
our legislation question.
With this date drawing closer
he debaters are filling all their
spare time with practice debates.
Last week they met Schreiner and
Seguin Lutheran College. This
week an attempt is being made to
go to Austin and San Marcos.
The teams have been named as
Kathleen Jones and Adele Schultze,
and John Luter and Ed Notzen
ith Wilson Walthall as alternate.

Several problems were confront-
ing the baseball supporters of J.
C. Tuesday. No definite decision
had been made at that time as
to whether the team would play
baseball or softball.
The 16 player list which has to be
turned over to softball league au-
thorities at the beginning of the
season, and which cannot be chang-
ed, with the scholastic require-
ments at school might make it
difficult to finish the season with
a full roster. Furthermore, if the
team played baseball in the acad-
emic league, there is an age limit
which would disqualify many of
the J. C. players. A fifteen dol-
lar entrance fee in the softball
league and expenses in the acade-
mic union are also against
see’s joining, according to
Hurry.
“My recommendation is
Junior College play baseball
independent team with members of
the academic league and whatever
other teams we can secure games
with,” Mr. Hurry said. “If we do
this, then we will have no age re-
quirements, nor will we have an
entrance fee to pay. We can
change our players if scholastic
conditions warrant, letter team
members just as we do in basket-
ball, and we will not have to cope
with the many unfavorable league
requirements,” he added.

INGER
SAN ANTONIO JUNIOR COLLEGE; PUBLICATION
Today the RANGER rounds out
eleven years of existence at Junior
College'. On exactly this day ele-
ven years, March 25, 1926, the
JUNIOR RANGER first subpect-
ed itself to the careful perusal and
cutting criticism that has been its
lot since then.
This early-day standard bearer
differed in several respects from
the RANGER of 1937. In the
first place, it was mimeographed.
Second, it had eight pages. Third,
four of the eight pages contained
two columns, the other four con-
tained one pagewide column.
This situation was remedied in
the second edition, which appeared
on April 6. This issue was an
eight page, three column wide
newspaper. Instead of being mim-
eographed like the first edition,
this one was printed, printed in
blue ink. Probably the reason for
the improvement in typography
may be traced to the fact that the
student body had evinced its sup-
port of the fledgling sheet by el-
ecting a staff.
This first staff consisted of
eight offices, all elected by the
students. Editor-in-chief was Thea
Goldschmidt; associate editor,
Clyde Lightfoot; business mana-
ger, Joe Serna; feature writer,
Dorothy Owens; art editor, Cath-
erine Owens; joke editor, Juanima
Wells; Reporters, Vibian Waters
and Monty Hawthorne; circulation
manager, Dick McMahan.
The next issue which is still pre-
served by Doctor Baskin is the
fourth number. Except in content
this paper resembled the April 6
issue, being printed in the same
shade of blue ink. Comparison of
the two papers would reveal, how-
ever, that the second was showing
signs of sensationalism, as it had
several large headlines on the
front page and scattered through-
out the other pages.
When the RANGER was born
he name of the college was the
Texas University Junior College,
as it was a branch of Texas U.
The students attended classes at
school at night seemed to dictate
the RANGER’S editorial policy,
for the paper was filled with pleas-
ant suggestions that beginning
with September, 1926, Junior Col-
