^ i not !t.o bo denied: briefly, It says that
.Business Manager { Hire's cheering ai the football Kames
"ain't what it used to be," At the
Assistant Business Manager j .j.(,x(1K Kajj)e( the choerln#, or yelling,
if you plea hp, was par super par. It
is safe to say that it played a major
part in the win over the Longhorns.
In the other games, however, the stu-
dent boily has fallen down. The liar-
goyU* says it would behoove liiee to
do ii bit more yelling and less cheer-
ing, and if the student body can't
come through, then printed slips
should be diirtributwl through the
stands in order that the crowds can
show their
team. .So it's, up
yellbiK section tomorrow might mean
tlie difference between winning ami
losing a conference cleinip'onsblp.
i * *
While 'we're oil the subject, an
anonymous note ha* reached us with
an earnest request for some new
yells. It says: "Say, these cheers
that wi
on an ant I quo atuiospiiere. How
ami so*'|,l(f1,U sntile new ones?" It's a great
idea if someone will write the yells.

5 NEW BOOKS DONATED

One of the best stories of the week
Is Kleanor ThonieH's. She says that
during the past week, (he burglars
have been worse than she has ever
seen them before. There Is one
urottnd her house every night and
sometimes three on Sundays. She also
claims that her room lias nine win-
dows that the prowlers have tried
to get in. Those nine windows have
saved her—the would-be robbers are
so engrossed in tfrying to decide
which window to come through, they
lose time and allow the police, to
make a hurry call. All of Which Is to
K'bauor's distress. She says she'll
catch one of them herself.

I the stags astray,
; tricks. At least we have statements |
; to that effect from Carmen Lewis,!
Margaret. McCarthy, and Vannah Gir-
j ardey. The Jokesters called the thrree
girls and told them Miss Stratford
wanted to see them the next morn-
ing at eight o'clock. They reported
hut Miss Stratford was not at. hand.
Baffled, they went off down the clois-
ter a, to be greeted by a number of
girls who wanted to thank the trio
for securing them dates with Bert
Mueller. The Jokers had called about
eight Freshman girls, saying "This
Is Vannah Glrardey. Bert Mueller
wants a date with you. Will you give
It. to him?" As a result, Mr. Mueller
had dates with half a doien girls or
so that he didn't even know. The
recipients of the Joke plan revenge.
They shut the door on hybrid styles
Quantity production of equipment has long
been practiced by the telephone industry.
Telephone designers years ago shut the door
on many hybrid styles—seeking first to work
out instruments which could best transmit the
voice, then making these few types in great
quantities.
This standardization made possible concen-
trated study of manufacturing processes, and
steady improvement of them. For example, the
production of 15,000,000 switchboard lamps a
year, all of one type, led to the development
of a highly special machine which does in a
few minutes what once took an hour.
'Manufacturing engineers, with their early
start in applying these ideas, have been able to
develop methods which in many cases have be-
come industrial models. The opportunity is there/
