FIRST DEVOTIONAL SERVICE
HELD AT THE Y. M. C. A.
The first devotional service of the
session wns held Sunday evening at the
Y. M. C. A. These services are the
students' services as are the joint meet-
ings of the Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. This
gives the student an opportunity to tell
briefly some of his problems and what
the Y. M. C. A. means to him. Every
man can take part if he desires. The
first meeting of this nature eclipsed
those of recent years in that time was
all occupied by the members who re-
sponded readily. Each individual spoke
voluntarily and no instance was used
by the chairman to get any one to talk.
A number of the men were freshmen
who made some encouraging statements
for the work of the Y.M.C.A. A quar-
tet was given by Messrs. Hooton, Gil-
lett, Simons, and Seale.' The following
men spoke briefly: Baggett, Hamil-
ton, Betts, Donaldson, Seale, Hooton,
Matthews, Hardt, McDaniel, Slack, Lee,
Harbour, Jobson, Callcott, Waldrop,
Bode, Bro. Booth, Prof. Burton, and
Dr. Bishop.
SAMPLE OF THE NEW
SCIENCE EQUIPMENT
An elaborate new.chemistry desk for
the Science Building has arrived and
has been assembled in the present chem-
istry class room where it is on exhibi-
tion It is a beautiful and well made-
up piece of furniture, aside from any
utilitarian aspect. It is eight feet long,
between four and five feet in width
and three feet high. It will accommo-
date four students working at one time,
has a soapstone sink for each pair of
students and each has the use of a pow-
erful hood to eliminate all obnoxious
fumes. The chairs are mounted on the
sides and fold under the projecting edge
when not in use, thus giving full and
unobstructed use of all aisle space and
eliminating confjision and congestion.
It was designed entirely by Dr. McGhee
and shows the result of much fore-
thought and experience in laboratory
requirements. *
Dr. C# M. Bishop, Dr. John C. Gran-
bery, and Prof. H. L. Gray attended
the Methodist annual conference of
West Texas at Uvalde, in the interest
of Southwestern University.
Will appreciate your
patronage. Phone
your order to 115.

Ther Smoke of the Active!
There's one fashion that never changes—the re-
freshing, wholesome, youthful, spirited fashion of
"rolling your own" for a lively smoke with good old
"Bull" Durham.
In no other way can you get a cigarette so fresh and fra-
grant, so full of vigor, energy and action. The man who "rolls
his own" with "Bull" Durham has the taste of a connoisseur.
genuine
Bull Durham
SMOKING TOBACCO
"Bull" Durham sets it apart
The wonderful ^ildness of
from all other tobaccos, and its unique mellow-sweet
flavor gives distinctive eiyoyment to a cigarette.
"Bull" Durham is made of "bright" Virginia-North
Carolina leaf—the choicest that grows. It is smooth,
rich, most satisfying — and mild.
Start "rolling your own" with
"Bull" Durham novo, and you'll
put yourself on the one right road
to genuine smoking satisfaction.

ZETA TAU ALPHAS ENTERTAIN
■Mm
Zeta Tau Alpha entertained very for-
mally last Monday evening, October .'iO,
with a six o'clock dinner and open house
at Mrs. Ed Chreitzberg's. After the
quests arrived they were invited into
the dining room, which was beautifully
decorated in flowers and ferns. On the
backs of the chairs large pink maline
bows were tied, and pink candles burn-
ed brightly upon the table. As each
guest took her place she found a cor-
sage bouquet of pink carnations.
Throughout the dinner Zeta songs
were stuig. The menu was as follows:
Oyster cocktail.
Deviled crabs Stuffed potatoes
Wafers
Turkey Dressing Creamed peas I
Sweet potatoes Cranberry ice
Fruit salad
Ripe olives Crackers I
French kisses
Coffee
After the dinner they wore at home
to the young men. Victrola music and
conversation furnished the entertain-
ment. Those present at the dinner
were Misses Heslip, Stone, Rarcus, Gra- I
ham, Smith, Wyatt, Irwin, Marries, Ivy I
Bryan, Lena Mae Nelms, K nolle, Fran- i
cis Gillett, Helen Gillett, Davis, Har-1

Dr. John R. Allen, emeritus profes-
sor of philosophy at 8. U. and now ed-
itor of the Williamson County Sun, vis-
ited in Dallas for the past two weeks
and while theTe was invited to fill the
pulpit of the University Methodist
church, Rev. A. Frank Smith, pastor.
The '•■'Campus" gives a very glowing
account of his sermon, characterizing it
as impressive and inspirntional. Some
of the strongest sermons that we have
heard from the pulpit anil chapel dur-
ing our college course have been by Dr.
Allen, and we are sure that S. M. U.
students indeed enjoyed an intellectual
feast.
NEW RULES WOMAN'S SELF-
GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION
(Published by request.)
The new amendments which have
be.en 'added this year to the Co1 .stitu-
tion of the Woman's Self-Government
Association have appeared ambiguous
to some of the students of the Univer-
sity, and so to those who do not under-
stand the new rulings perhaps the fol-
lowing interpretation will bring enlight-
enment:
Regarding the rules wliich apply to
both men and women of the University
a few changes have been made, being
far more lenient than those of last year.
The old three-minute" rule has been
abolished. Young ladies are not to talk
ten young men in the hnlls of the Uni-
versity, but they will be allowed to talk
to them on the campus for a reasonable
length of time. This last phrase may
not be interpreted to mean a morning
session or an aftetrnoon session on the
campus immediately in front of the
University.
Last year the young ladies were not
permitted to walk with the young men,
but it was 'generally interpreted that
walking three feet from a young lady
was not walking with her This has
been materially changed in a new
amendment in which young ladies are
now permitted to walk from the Uni-
versity with the young men, provided
the young men leave immediately upon
reaching the Woman's Building. No
such walking or talking with young
men will be permitted after 6 p. m.
DOGGONE IT.
(A ditty in four staves and a busted
hoop, subtitle "011 the absence of inspi-
ration. '')
I am feeling poetic today,
I should like to write a lay,
Here's a sheet, fresh and clean,
Now I search in my bean,
And I find I've nothing to say.
I've an empty place under my hat,
There's nothing above my cravat.
I have howled for the muse,
But she seems to refuse,
Now where can the huzzy bo at?
And the meter just flows from my pen;
And the rhyme seems to fit itself in.
Oh dodgast it, the sound
Is quite easily found
But the sense is confoundedly thin!
Oh I hanker and yearn to write verse,
Something cute, laconic anil terse;
But my bloomin' think-tank
Ts an absolute blank.
Go away. Let me sit here and curse,
A SONNET
The night has came,
The mopn is bright,
A few little dames
Sat pining in the light. :
They no dates have,
How sad their plight
Now what?
A date next Sunday night.
