—
The pitiful conditions . of the
West Side made a poignant im-
pression on the J. C. students. It
didn’t turn out to be a trip for
fun, but everyone was stirred by
the sights.

The Senators gained a second
victory over the Cowboys as Jay-
segate Evelyn Thomas arose and
announced the Senate 14 to 6 foot
sprawl victory almost before a
single squelchei' could regain hi

The German Club will enter-
tain with a picnic at Koehler
Park this Tuesday at 5 P. M.
The assessment of 15c can (and
must) be paid to Edward Huth-
macher.
The units are excellent examples
of simplicity and compactness. The
Hoot asked all the questions
about the dancing doll and dash-
ing brunette of the campus and
left the crowd so breathless that
he had to answer them himself.
When he gave the Pie Rose to
Amsie^ she blushed and assured
him she thought he was talking
about someone else.

Further announcements by Dr.
Gardiner concerned traditions. For
instance, you better drop smok-
ing in the building, and you’d
better not drop courses anywhere
but in the office. (Threats)
Billy Brown encouraged suckers
to attend the meeting of the ad-
vertising staff of the lone-ly Ran-
ger. He also stated that the
RANGER had come within five
cents of floating last week, which
is pretty good in case you didn’t
get the drift.
JAYSEGATES AND COWBOYS OMITTED
It was simply a matter of min-
utes that brought Amsie to the
floor for the third time. But it
was a little matter of twenty dol-
lars and forty cents minus the
payoff on the dance returns that
fairly floored the crowd as Dolly
took a bow at the third all-import-
ant Student Meet.
You know how you feel when you
come out of a freak show? How
ashamed you are for staring at
other peoples’ deformities and how
glad you are to have two whole
arms, legs, and eyes? Well, the
trip to the “West Side” that Dr.
Gardiner’s sociology and psycho-
logy classes took Wednesday
morning left me with somewhat
of the same feeling.
It was curiosity that prompted
most of the students to come to
school at fifteen minutes to eight
for the tour. We didn’t know
what we would see, but whatever
it was, we were for it. We came
away with a consuming thank-
fulness that we live in a house
with windows and hot and cold
water.
Lonnie Koehl announced con-
grats were in order for the newest
Pie-Face of the campus — Linn
Maurer. Time passed quickly,
and after Margaret Biome said
that EL ALAMO pictures may be
taken at Stauffer’s this week and
next, kids shoved out of Room 2
for another week.
The Senate will have its first
social for ALL Freshmen to-
morrow night (Saturday) at
Woodlawn Recreation Center at
8 P. M.
All Freshmen are invited.
Earl Fetzer’s challenge for an-
other footbrawl game this Sun-
day was accepted—but quick!
Dr. Gardiner menaced the
Freshmen with news of English
and Psychology tests to be held
for their sole benefit on Monday
and Tuesday at 1 o’clock while
Sophs sat back with a smug “aw-
don’t-worry, kid, it isn’t so bad”
expressions.
In case you’re interested in Jay-
see, here’s the list of committees
appointed by George Judson, Stu-
dent Ass’n president, to be active
for the next six weeks:
Social Committee:
Chairman: Dolly Anna Stein
Assistants: Craig Dickey, Linn
Maurer.
Finance Committee:
Chairman: Lonnie Koehl
Assistants: Stanley Hauser,
Sammy Vaughn.
Rules Committee:
Chairman: Johnny Leigh
Assistants: Margaret Biome,
Alex Enloe.
Grounds Committee:
Chairman: Eddie Huthmacher
Assistants: Betty Etz, Kent
Whitaker.
Publicity Committee:
Chairman: Colegate Villaret
Assistants: Amsie Jeanne Remy,
Charles Herndon.
Omission of Jaysegates and
and Independents was conspicuous.
Their names were left out entire-
ly, which could give the RANGER
only one conclusion: It was not
deemed necessary for them to be
. represented in school government.
floors and walls are concrete; two
stoves are the only furnishings.
The feature calculated to have
the most profound effect on the
tenants is the bathroom, seldom
found in the district. Mr. Brewer
said the Mexicans usually used
the bath tub to keep dirty clothes
in.
From the decency of the pro-
ject houses, the students went to
the squalor of the transported
Mexican hovels. When the
government took over the land
for the housing units, the home-
less Mexicans moved to the fields
behind Our Lady of the Lake Col-
lege. There they erected crude
shacks of rusted tin sheets and,
sometimes, luxurious planks. Their
entire house consists of one room,
barely the size of a dining room.
Eight or ten people often live in
the same hut.
A notable thing in the midst of
the filth was the number of dogs.
Almost every house boasted a fine,
healthy-looking cur. Too, each
shanty had its vines and flowers.
A profusion of queen’s crown and
morning glories blessed many a
pathetic lean-to.

opposition by the Cowboys pres-
ent. Stanley Hauser remarked,
as he declined the nomination for
Sgt.-at-arms, “I’m not a Senator
—and, as this is a Senate election,
I want to withdraw my name.”
Even Senator Jack Tiner
confused. He uttered, “This
first iSenate Meeting that ever
had visitors.”
It was obvious that the Senators
had heard of the coming election.
There was a surprising lack of
enthusiasm on the part of the
Adda Dabbas and Cowboys. The
Jaysegates remained loyal to the
Senators.
Without a doubt, the Most Hon-
orable Senators still bore the scars
of last year’s (Fall) Sophomore
Class election. At that time the
Adda Dabbas and the Cowboys
took five of the main offices, leav-
ing the positions of Reporter and
Parliamentarian for the Senators
and Cheeses to divide. Evidently
they remembered the ancient ad-
age: Revenge Is Sweet.
The Senate managed brilliantly
to maneuver the first class elec-
tions of the year by electing Sen-
ators to most of the positions of
the Sophomore Class.
Those elected were:
President ----, Ed. Huthmacher
Vice-President____Linn Maurer
Secretary ------- Betsy Johns
Treasurer ___ Charles Herndon
Sgt.-at-arms---Kent Whitaker
Parliamentarian __ Geo. Judson
When the nominations for Trea-
surer were open, a Senator moved
that Craig Dickey, a Cowboy, be
elected by acclamation. Sammy
Vaughn and two Cowboy friends
objected to the proposal. After
four other names were voted upon,
Charles Herndon emerged victor-
ous. Right here the Cowboys lost
a golden chance to break the mon-
opoly of the Senators. And yet
the Cowboys are complaining now
about the “greedy Senators who
railroaded the whole election.”
There was quite a bit of verbal
Mr. R. H. Brewer, principal of
Lanier High School, acted as
guide for the tour that began at
the Alazan Courts out Brazos St.
There we saw the new low-rent
houses being constructed by the
government. About 900 have been
built, and already there are more
than 1200 applicants for the units.
The Mexicans must be earning
five or six times the amount of
rent which ranges from $6.6'5
month for a three room house to
$8.55 for one with five rooms.

Annual pictures will be taken
starting Monday, October 7,

for two proofs. Have YOUR
picture taken NOW.
The re-organization meeting of
the Phi Mu Sigma took place in
Room 2 with Panalee Thomson
presiding and Mrs. .Schadt direct-
ing. Henry Wyneken was elected
president and the offices of vice-
president, secretary, treasurer,
and reporter were filled in order:
John Leigh, Panalee Thomson,
Ray Garza, and Jack Tiner.
Though everyone probably had
no other intention, the club decid-
ed to learn through seeing. As a
body (group) they will go through
hospitals, laboratories,..and insane
asylums on any convenient after-
noon when visitors are allowed at
such institutions.
A committee was appointed to
draw up a constitution that would
assure the ligitimacy and perpe-
tually of the organization. Mrs.
Schadt volunteered to assist
(which means that she will prob-
ably do most of the work). Also
appointed were Ray Garza, Pana-
lee Thomson, Julian Moss, and
John Leigh.

selves charter members and set

so that makes two of us. But
since it takes more than two to
make a crowd, just how would
you account for the keen bunch
of kids that Huckleberry Ducked
into the first Student Ass’n dance
of the year? Of course, if you
count dates, that means two other
kids, and two plus two is four.
But maybe we didn’t bring dates
so we can subtract two more kids,
which leaves two, and that’s where
I came in, and I guess I’d better
see Mr. Tulloch about a Math
course, and Miss Brewer about
writing sentences.
Now if you must be technical,
is was at nine, not two, that
I came in. Mr. T. was there, but
not looking very mathematical,
and so were a coupla hundred

favorites, and so were the coupla

yes, future doctors.
