NUMBER 4
EL TORO
By BROOKS
We are all glad that the elec-
tions are over and we can settle
down to something a lot more in-
teresting. The absence of mud-
slinging in the last election was
very commendable.
El Toro was anything but proud
of the last edition of the Star but
he promises to make up for the
absence of features in last week’s
issue by doubling up in the future.
We have noticed a lot of new
friendships blooming about the
hill. What could be better than
a real true friend. (Girl friends in-
cluded.)
El Toro noticed that the water
fountain in the Science building
hadn’t been running for a long
time, so we will have to make in-
vestigation and see if something
can’t be done, and done quick. It
was a real treat to watch the ex-
pressions on the faces of the would-
be drinkers as they would turn the
faucet to drink and have nothing
happen, not even a gurgle.
This new pep organization
should do a lot toward promot-
ing school spirit. We believe that
the organization is going to be a
howling success. Yell leader Pear-
son is working like a trojan on
the proposition.
One fellow suggested to El Toro
that a good way to stimulate school
pep was to pass a rule that every-
one had to eat Grapenuts for
breakfast with sugar and cream
smeared over them.
We find that it is mighty easy
to drift off into a lot of hooey in
a column of this type, which re-
minds us of a little poem we read
lately about a Mr. Hooey who got
in the way of a Choowey choowey
and the choowey choowey ran over
Hooey-Gooey Gooey. Isn’t that
hooey?
The college and the CWA are
making it possible for a lot of peo-
ple to go to school. Students are
glad of the opportunity to make
part of their way, and the college
with the CWA are providing many
jobs that mean the salvation of a
large percentage of this student
body. We admire the person who
wants to work for what he gets.
Mr. Jackson kept us well in-
formed on the progress of the
World Series games. Mr. Jackson
seems to be a real enthusiast of
the game. He would yell from his
library office across to the Star of-
fice every time his wife would
phone in the score, or the major
happenings.
The student body seemed to ap-
preciate the program that was giv-
en in chapel last Thursday by the
Academy Fine Arts department.
We believe that it would be no
trouble at all to get the students
to attend chapel if they knew that
a first class program was to be
given.
El Toro has not received any
scorching letters from ex-editors,
but he has been keeping his guard
up in case anything should arrive.
It seems to be an old custom.
We still don’t receive enough
letters for the Open Forum. There
. are lots of things that could be
discussed and we are giving you a
chance to present your views to
the entire student body.
There is a girl on the hill who
says she has the “jitters” and is
always sleepy. El Toro suggested
that she sleep more and bring a
pillow to the first two classes each
morning. She agreed.
The business manager and El
Toro are looking for someone to
send us to the National Collegiate
Press meeting in Chicago but no
offers have been made up to date.
The loan from the PWA is a
boom to the college. The college
can use a dormitory and such a
structure will be beneficial in in-
creasing the enrollment and stand-
ing of the college.
The yelling at the Schreiner
game was the best we have seen
in many moons. The students in

Lumberjacks Boasting Improved
Aggregation For First
Encounter
Although given a setback in
their game with the Schreiner
Mountaineers last Saturday night,
Coach Strahan’s Bobcats have their
teeth set for their first Lone Star
Conference battle with the Stephen
F. Austin Lumberjacks next Fri-
day night on Birdwell field in Nac-
ogdoches.
The Cats are. due to get into
their stride by the time this ern
counter takes place and have their
hearts set to fight out a victory
after two defeats.
According to news from the
Lumberjack camp the Axemen have
a very formidable club to put on
the field, although the line has
some very noticeable weak spots.
The Jacks’ pride and joy seems to
be a sophomore pigskin toter in
the person of Turner Mills who is
a triple threat back with lots of
possibilities. The Axemen follow-
ers believe this scintillating sopho
more is the best passer in the Con
ference which is a warning sig-
nal for the Felines to polish up
on their pass defense.
The Cats, though, are likely to
take to the air themselves in an
effort to brighten up their offen-
sive threat which up to now has
been anything but outstanding.
Hansell Mangum is a good passer
and there are some good receivers
on the ends and in the backfield.
Coach Strahan’s shifting of line-
men to the backfield might uncov-

DOCTOR WHARTON
WILL SPEAK AT
THORS. ASSEMBLY
The College, as well as the
YWCA and YMCA is very fortu-
nate in securing Dr. Lawrence H.
Wharton, pastor of the University
Presbyterian Church of Austin, to
speak at the assembly hour Thurs-
day, October 11.
Dr. Wharton is well noted and
very much in demand among stu-
dent bodies. His talk will open
a series of talks on the meaning
of Christianity which are to be
given in the weekly meetings of
the YWCA. The general meetings
of the Y’s will include local and
out-of-town speakers.
It is hoped that every one will
find it possible to hear Dr. Whar-
ton as he is a favorite of both
under-graduate and graduate stu-
dents.
COUNCIL PLANS
TO STUDY PARL.
PROCEDURE
The Inter-Club Council met last
week with the five literary clubs
and the Cora Lay club represented.
At the suggestion of Miss Cora
Lay it was decided that the five
literary societies and the Cora Lay
club have a meeting once a week
to engage in the practice of par-
liamentary rales. The members
decided to invite Dr. Arnold to
speak to the clubs each week on
parliamentary procedure.
Monday, October 15 is the date
for the first meeting which is to
be held in the assembly hall.
Members of all of the different
clubs on the hill are invited; how-
ever, any student in college will be
welcome.

Mr. Cleo Long, member of the
College Quartet last year, now
working in Yoakum for the Humble
Oil Company, was a visitor on the

PEP RALLY
An all college pep rally is
scheduled for Wed. night in the
aud. at 7:30 sharp. It is ur-
gent that the student body at-
tend in mass so as to give the
fighting Bobcats a noisy send-
off to Nacogdoches where they
meet the Stephen F. Austin
Lumberjacks in the Cats’ first
Lone Star Conference battle.
Head yell-leader Pearson has
things in store for the pepsters
so be sure and get in on the

be on hand one hundred percent
without the persuasion of upper-
classmen.

FIRST COLLEGE
THEATRE PLAY
The second Y.M.C.A. meeting
held Tuesday morning at ten
o’clock was opened by the new
president, Ralph Swift, with the
singing of “Come Thou Almighty
King” and “Holy, Holy, Holy”
by the group. These were fol-
lowed with a scripture reading
by David Votaw and a prayer by
Brooks Holt.
Mr. Tanner took charge of the
business session, explaining the
Y. M. C. A., its purposes, and or-
ganization. He told of its inter-
national scope as well as its func-
tions among college'groups. The
business session was concluded
when 50 cents per member was
voted on as the students part, of
the financial support and the sign-
ing of application cards.
Another interesting announce-
ment was that Dr. Wharton
would speak in assembly Thurs-
day through the influence of the
Y.
The program consisted of two
short talks on “Why Go To Col-
lege,” delivered by John
Saunders and Thomas Yoa-
kum, respectively. Both talks
were helpful, as well as interest-
ing; for we were informed of
ways to enrich our lives and
minds, how from different facts
and contacts our personalities
could be developed to a higher
extent materially, socially, intel-
lectually, and spiritually.
According to latest reports from
Registrar L. H. Kidd, the total
registration up to date for the
fall term has ceached the large
number of 930 which is an all
time enrollment for the fall term.
The former record was 914. Some
students are still drifting in but
the total will not be greatly in-
creased until the split semester
period when a large number of
students are expected to join the
college ranks.
“Aren’t We All,” by Frederick
Lonsdale is the play selected by
Director Monroe Lippman for the
opening of the season’s dramatic
events. This is an English comedy
written in three acts and has been
very successful both in England
and in America, having stayed for
long runs both in the Globe Thea-
ter, London, and the Gaiety Thea-
ter, New York. During the show-
ing in London, Herbert Marshall
was featured in the starring role
as was Leslie Howard during the
New York run. The play has also
been lauded with much success on
the amateur stage as well as the
professional stage.
Tryouts for “Aren’t We All”
started Monday and will, in all
probability, continue throughout
the week. Several promising ac-
tors have tried out but no selec-
tions have been made for the cast
at this time. Anyone wishing to
try out for the cast or for work
on the set is invited to meet in
the college auditorium at three p.
m. daily. Eligibility for member-
ship into the College Players can
be gained only by assisting with
a College Theatre production. New
members are selected both from

Using powerful running plays
that tore the Bobcat line to shreds,
the Schreiner Mountaineers from
Kerrville outclassed the local lads
20 to 7.
Employing a shift that kept the
Bobcats guessing, the Schreiner
gridders broke through the line
into a broken field for substantial
gains. In the first few minutes
of play, Lowe, flashy Schreiner
back, broke through the Bobcat
line, outsmarted the secondary and
behind some excellent blocking,
raced 38 yards to the initial score
for the Mountaineers. Reed con-
verted and the score went to 7 to 0.
With Reed, Devine and Lowe al-
ternating at carrying the ball, the
lads from the mountain continued
to chalk up one first down after
another, until scoring position was
reached then the crashing Schrein-
er backs managed to go over for
another score. Reed failed to con-
vert on the second try.
The Bobcat score came as a re-
sult of some nice passing on the
part of Mangum and some good re-
ceiving on the part of Horton.
Horton snagged one of Mangum’s
long passes and was knocked out
of bounds on the Schreiner two-
yard line. Horton then bucked it
over for the touchdown and Carnes
kicked goal. Score, Schreiner 13,
Bobcats 7.
Mangum’s fumble of a Schrein-
er punt led to the last of the
scoring. A Mountaineer recover-
ed the fumble on the Bobcats’ 20-
yard line from where Schreiner
scored just before the final gun.
Some fine punting by Horton
kept the Mountaineers back in
their own territory during much
of the game. The fast charging
Bobcat line was down under the

GIRLS DORMITORY
PWA Grants $125,000 to SWTTC
Through Help of Ex-
Student
According to a statement by
Pres. Evans Tuesday the College
has been granted a loan of $125,-
000 from the PWA. for the erec-
tion of a dormitory building for
girls.
The building was known
in Washington as PWA No. 8421.
The application has been on file
in Fort Worth or in Washington
since January of the present year.
The difficulty in getting final ap-
proval has been due to the large
amount of detail requiring special
approval. Each application must
be examined and approved by the
Legal, Engineering, and Finance
divisions. With desks full of ap-
plications with many details for
study and with Federal employees
shifting back and forth, and en-
joying the usual vacations, delay
becomes part of the game.
Lyndon B. Johnson, former stu-
dent and secretary of Con-
gressman R. M. Kleberg, rendered
the college very valuable assistance
in securing prompt approval of fi-
nance divisions and prompt award.
The student body will recall at the
time of his graduation, June 1930,
Lyndon B. Johnson was an efficient
employee and a student of marked
ability. Architect Wyatt C. Hed-
rick of Fort Worth worked regu-
larly for several weeks to push

Mack Rogers’ Orchestra Are
Music Makers
Displaying his unusual ability
to sage a dance that college stu-
dents like, Mack Rogers did him-
self up gloriously Monday night
at the college gym where the Jef-
fersonian Literary Society spon-
sored one of the most successful
dances ever held here.
Varying his rhythms from tan-
talizing fast ones to slow, dreamy
walzts, Mack and his boys played
to perfection as only his orchestra
can play.
No little amount of credit
should go to Mack’s two vocalists,
Paul White and Sibyl Hopkins.
Miss Hopkins’ renditions of sever-
al of the currently popular tune
hits met with much favorable com-
ment. Miss Hopkins has been
with Rogers’ orchestra only four
weeks, having just completed a
seven months’ tour over RKO unit
with a road show featuring the
orchestra of Slats Randell. The
ability of Paul White to please the
dancers with his singing was nev-
er questioned and his efforts were
also receilved with much favorable
comments.

Coach J. M. Roady’s Southwest
Texas Teachers college freshmen
team and the Victoria Junior
college Pirates fought to a dead-
lock Saturday night,, 19 to 19, at
Victoria.
A pile driving line and the be-
wildering speed .of the Pirate’s
backfield gave them their three
touchdowns in the first three
quarters. The sweeping end runs
of Garner and Stover accounted
for most of the gains.
The defensive work of Arthur
Winkelman, guard, was especial-
ly noteworthy for the Fish.
With the score 19 to 0 at the
end of the third quarter the
Freshmen cut loose their passing
offense and promtly chalked up
three touchdowns of their own.
Joe Reeder did most of the pass-
ing .with Slater receiving two of
his heaves for touchdowns. Slater
ran 40 yards for a touchdown
after snaring one of the passes.
A pass, Joe Reeder to Speckles,
end, made the other touchdown.
The consistent gains of Bobby
Holloway on cutbacks over the
tackles and ends coupled wtih
Joe Reeder’s passing kept the
Victoria bunch buffaloed once the
Freshmen got started.
The Freshmen were penalized
125 yards; Victoria 20. Pirate

ter members are Roy Worley, pres-
ident; Davis Cox, vice-president;

ber with the emblem of the club
on the jacket.
