Shoe Theft
On Campus
Stuns Brown
jl> day morning on the
Tnpus of this college occurred an
Hiv.nl theft. By chance it was
by Wfjiyne Brown, a
Lb"' reporter for the Rambler.
|e fo'lowing is the story as told
Brown:
|!Al approximately 9:35' a. m.
pdnesday morning I walked out
my first journalism class just in
ie to witness a sinister mystery,
•o girls were sitting on the front
rch of the Administration Build-
dangling their feet over
archway which leads into the
seiiient. From inside the base-
st the feet were the only visible
irts of the girls.
"Suddenly a man darted out of
e shadows. He grabbed one pair
the shoes and neatly pulled
|em off. Then he quickly tickled
. feet of the surprised victim,
darted back into a dark door-
y and disappeared.
{•'Being an up-and-coming news-
erman, I naturally recognized
as a good story.
{"Several questions were pertin-
it. First, who was this sly thief?
who was the girl? Third,
|l,at became of the thief and the
3? Fourth, was the gir.' em-
Itrrassed by having to walk a-
iund barefoot?
"But surely, reader, you would
:,t expect me to know how to get
he answers to these baffling ques-
jons after only onp Jesson in jour-
■nlism?"

for thought" by Col. Julien

jon, Thursday when he addressed
student body of TWC and
sts in the formal opening as-
hiil.ty of the year.
Stating that a person is as
)ung as his hope and old as his
■•pair," Colonel I-Iyer gave as
i first point, "youth is a state of
nd." This is a quotation by a
nous suldier, which hangs fram-
above the desk of General Doug-
is A. MacArthur.
IIis : rVrtiid emphasis was upon
flip as he quoted the poet, Hob-
it W. Service, "It's later than
on think." "det all you can
t'orn the time you have," he urg-
d the students.
Hubert Browning was quoted
Ihiid "Be yourself;* imperial,
lain and true." Colonel" Hyer
rged veterans *n the college to
Digi-i their "service selves" and
etui ii to their tru^,selves.
TiYr ?f»i^ker took his last quota-
ion front the Bible, reading a
i i i> from the Boole of Isaiah. He
mpliasized the phrase, "he mak-
th a «",od." This last quotation
as designed to show that man
nds__ to place physical well-being
hove the spiritual part of life,
nd only after becoming warm and
ell-fed does he think of his soul.
Colonel Ilyer was graduated

Happy days for seniors-will soon
arrive, because it has been an-
nounced that senior rings are on
tli* ir way and should arrive by
October 1.
.Norma Thurston, senior class
secretary, states that the time to
order rings has not yet expired.

may do so by.paying a $5 deposit
to her. If less than four rings are
ordered in one lot., however, the
deposit will increase $1.

medium and heavy weights from

Major Activities

It ce,me as a blinding, flash at
the New Student - Old Student
Wedding Texas Wesleyan life is
being recorded this year in color
movies.
The revelation was precipitated
by high-powfifis# lighting equip-
ment' which Photographer Roy
Hyde must use in order to make
successful color movies. Same
tears were shed by both students
and faculty.
Weddings are like that.
Joking aside, the TW adminis-
tration ventured forth into a new
field this year by going into color
films. The entire school year will
be depicted for use in student, soli-
citation. It is probable, too, that
this film, or another especia ly
made for that purpose, will be
shown in churches in this area.
Already recorded are the regis-
tation jam, freshman convocation,
all-college picnic and the "wed-
ding." The color film hs 16 nun,

Don't forget that Hoy Hyde's Studio, 2311 ,East Kosedale

TWC Collection
Of Art Is Shown
BV LIRI, TREUTER
Cross Timbers ,Gallery's initial
general exhibition on the 1947 Art
Department calendar presents 22
works from TW's permanent col-
lection of^ gifts, purchases, and
loans.
Gallery hours are 8 a. m. to 6 p.
m. Monday through Friday. Visi-
tors may view the present show
through October 15.
Reviewed from a survey analy-
sis, this exhibit is indicative of rap-
idly moving trends in art toward
universality of expression, which
expounds a psychological approach
above the literary intellectual. Dr.
Marion Souchon of New Orleans,
outstanding self-taught artist and
former surgeon, is represented by
his oil, "Neighbors," a delightful,
naive rendering of bold color and
free composition.
Of unusual technique interest is
a ceramic painting, "Wman irf
Hat" by Etienne Ret. Another
ceramic work is a Caladon glazed
wheel-turned bowl by Robert Will-
(Turn to Page 4)
The $5000 endowment honors
the late Mrs. Hogsett, who served
15 years on the TWC board of
trustees and on the executive com-
mittee of the board. Mrs. Hogs-
ett was founder and teacher of
the Couples Class.
Over $1000 Raised
Interest from the fund, $1000 of
which has been paid, will be used
each year to provide a scholar-
ship for some student interested
in Christian education. It was
amphasized by David W.. Ashley,
chairman of the fund committee,
that the student need ,NOT be a
ministerial student.
Yesterday's formal ceremony was
held during the Sunday School
hour at First Methodist.
Mr. Ashley said the scholarship
fund was being raised through In-
dividual contributions and class
activities. He pointed out that the
project is not limited to the Sun-
day School class. Other friends of
Mrs. Hogsett are contributing.

Knowledge at Premium;
Book Supply Dwindles
In anticipation of the overflow-
ing enrollment this fall, many
changes and additions have been
made on one of the most popular
spots on the campus, the Ram
Trading, Post.
According to Mr. Hurd Wren,
manager of the Trading Post, 90
per cent, of the required textbooks
have been in stock. The first ship-
ment from the publishing house
has been practically exhausted,
and another shipment has been or-
dered.
Approximately 50 pbr cent of
the books.;Sold went to veterans.
GI students are required to sign
a receipt acknowledging that they
have bought textbooks, and they
will be paid by the government.
This causes the book lines to
move rather slowly, so please have
patience and be cooperative in or-
der that everyone will bo able to
obtain their books in the shortest
time possible, pleaded Mr. Wren.
According to Mr. Wren, provis-
ions are being made to serve light
lunches to students. aS soon as the
necessary equipment can be in-
stalled.
