whole that the deadline for petitions
for the office of president of the
student association has been set as
Friday, October 8, at 12 noon. Thus
far, it was revealed, four seniors—
George Pierce, O. L. "Ox" Colley,
Franklin Navarro, and Lloyd Davis
—have filed for the position.
Haker Appears
Norvil Baker, senior cheerleader,
appeared before c o u n c i 1 and in-
formed it that the annual "Slime
Parade" and pep rally would be held
before the Tulane game, Friday, Oc-
tober 10, instead of October 4 as
originally planned. This change, it
was explained, was due to a con-
flict caused by the freshman game
with Lamar Junior College tonight.
Baker also informed the group that
it will be possible, if the student
body so desires, to utilize a thirty
minute period on the air Friday for
a broadcast pep rally. There was
no discussion of the broadcast pro-
posal.
Plans and arrangements for the
forthcoming all-school picnic were
discussed and harangued at length.
Responsibility for devising a scheme
of drawing dinner dates was dele-
gated to a committee composed of
Nell Poole, Carolyn Khapp, and
Ann Tuck.
Edward Acton, directing again
this year, announced that, in order1
to bring the group up to a necessary;
minimum of thirty so that several
performances could be undertaken,
several more students should be
added into each division, soprano,
alto, tenor and bass. Any new mem-
bers from all classes will be wel-
comed at the meeting in Autry
; House Wednesday night at 7:30.

7—Parker's 14 K Gold Point
is utterly different, finer-tex-
tured and much less brittle
than ordinary 14 K Gold.
2—It is tipped with oil-smooth
Osmiridium, developed under
the direction of Dr. Robert
Pickus, chief Parker metallur-
gist, former instructor of met-
allurgy at Yale University.
3—Parker's One-Hand Sac-
less Filler — a basically better
principle and the easiest of all
to operate — makes room for
about a third more ink than the
average of three well-known
sac-type pens, and substantially
more than any one of them.
4—Parker's patented Tele-
vision barrel lets you SEE
when your pen needs refilling.
5— Parker's smart laminated
styling—streamlined Pearl and
Jet RINGS—as shimmering as
velvet—is wholly exclusive.
