The Hour Glass
'hi- Hands of time run

By J. Harrington
. I pi on«y surprised! Walked
the office today and found
i.. fresh sheet of paper In
typewriter and everything set
!)io to start to work. Perhaps
;.s a gentle hint to get my
,ii in on time, l appreciate
i: |)I< H thoughtfuliutfts.
Faii, and tlli? leaves all turning
dftcii brown, puts an air of
io:ut'V feeling forth. We some-
iin^s .fail to notice, in the hurry
i modern living, the beauty that
punounds us at this season of
tti. year. Take a took around
ind see if the falling leaves and
he general atmosphere of the
"ampua don't bring back memo-
ir, <ii bygone days. The beauty
[of some scene you had almost
v>r£ott.en, and you really hadn't
■nean t to do so. •
NtfMfcER 10
Thesp
1 seem to have started a train
:>t thought that runs back to the
• V • ti
[time when college was only some-
thing to dream, about. High
IMiool Freshman jtays, . when I
J '* I!
(thought I knew ever'&lMng; fooJ>
Ihull' games when I ivanned the
[bench only to have to move over
Jam! let a first stringer just conv-
ling out ;)f the game have my nice

come tumbling one over the

A doff of the fedora and a
I hearty welcome home to the con-
[querorst The players put on an-
[other nice show for the fans out
in the Big Bend country and
frame- home with the big end of
I the score. They've hit their stride
now and we sort of like to think
; that our school spirit has had
I something to., do with U19 boys'
new string of lady" luck's smiles.
A feeling of true Thanksgiving
comes overt*1 us at this time of the
: year when the leaves start the
V>
change of costume. But how
many of us really stop to think
of the many things we have to
be thankful for? Do you remem-
ber 'way back in the grade
schools when the teacher would
have us make a list of the things^ (
we were thankful for and we Vmied by *Sammie Ruth Johnson
chewed our pencils frantically
trying to think of nice compli-
ments we could pay her? We
'Ihtyi't at the time realize the se-
riousness of life and the many
gifts and privileges that have
been granted us. Stop just a
moment; don't you think that
you could make up quite a list
of nice things to be thankful for?
iVa'are sometTmes prone to fpr-
g«^ momentarily, the many,
many things for which we can
express gratitude.
We find, since extending our
congratulations earlier W the
column, that our best wishes
have, been ignored; E.T.S.T.C. de-
feated the Rams 27-0.

Our sincerest sympathy is ex-
tended to C. A. Greenwaldt,
w k**se father passed away this
past week.
Helen McClanahan and your
correspondent were selected to
represent Tn W. C. at a social
function .given by North 'Texas
Agricultural College. Gofch, I
don't know how to thank you
guys afifl gals for elect-lug inebut
through this medium I want to
say "Thanks a Million and you'r^L
all grand guys!"
Now thnt mid-semester's are
over, we 'fcnn see just where we're
lacking so let's notch the old belt
"P another one and tell the
whole world that there's going
1(1 he a different story next time
with better words and much
sweeter n^ujlc ami wje can do It!
' WHAT WE SHOULD BE
THANKFUL FOR
thanksgiving is the occasion
for the reaping of our crops.
Our teachers and text books arc
our siiii and rain, our heads are
our fields. Mid-semester exams
are harvest time. The crops^'are
in; harvest is "over; and ,110V. is
the time toN^tfldice. J
On .^nuyrirs^p'nK - w«.. iiktr' to
reviywSUie things we have most
enjawP. First, was the joy of
comimg back in September, re-
newing old friendships and mak-
ing new„ ones. Then came Rush
Week and Freshman initiation.
The T. W. C. broadcast spon-
sored wby ''Dub" ' tiling has
brought pleasure to all of UB.
"Willie," our mascot, now roams
the campus at will. The Hallow-
een Carnival with tooting horns,
varied eats, catchy shows, *an-l
the queen's coronation was much
fun. We have appreciated our
grand football team which has
played spectacular games (most
of which we had to miss^'-but
you can bet that • we were all
inhere in spirit).
But now,', It's off with the old
ahd 011 with the new. The first,
nine weeks are gone. King Foot-
ball and Queen Hockey are ex-
iled; hats off to their majesties,
Boys and Girls Basket Ball—
may their rule be as pleasant
us the one just terminated. And
at the Thanksgiving season, the
climax of the exents of the fall
season, we offe^ thanks, peace
and good will.

T., W. C. Students Choose
i Favorite Motion Picture Stars
By Jasper Mallicote
Theatre-goers of Texas Wesley-
an College, presumably not uA-
like any other group of persons,
have marry different choices for
their cinema idols, or in other
words, favorite motion picture
sters. It seems thftt every person
oti the stage or screen, no matter
how insignificant in one person's
estimation, has several ardent
fans, in considering this, how
eyer, it seems no*more than nat-
ural, that personalities differ and
complexes vary as they do, es-
pecially 011 such a subject.
From the forty-seven men HTu-
dents interviewed, it was found
that only five liked Mae West,
one of the five admitting that
she was Ills favorite actress.
About thirty of the forty-s^ven
votes were divided between Sylvia
Sidney, Joanette MacDonald, and
Kay Frances for the first lady
of the films. Sally Fillers and
Joan Crawford were leading in
the second group. Seven votes
were cast for Great Gn.rbo as th»
favorite actress. Among other
favorites mentioned were Joan
Blondell, Helen Hayes, Ginger
Rogers, Marie Dressier, and Alli-
T011 Skipwprth.
It might be iv^terd in passing
the strikingly difA"R*nt_Jypes of
screen personali(Q£/ who win the
favoritism of different individ-
uals.
Some fifty-five*members of the
feminine social regime of T.
expressed preferences. Women as
a rule, It seenis, still go for the
HE-MAN type. The four leading
actors named were: Clark Gable,
19 votes: Robert Taylor, It
votes; George' Raft,"- 11" votes;*
and Warner Ba/ter, 7 votes.
However, by way of explanation,
it might be stated that some of
the women students preferred
two actors; they listed their first
and second choices. Among other
favorites named were Lionel and
John Barrymore, Victor McLag-
len, George Brent, Robert Mont-
gomery, William Powell, Jack
Oakie, Joel McCrea, and Fred As-
taire.
