Well children unaccustomed ns I
nm to public nppearancea on the grid-
iron ever since my participation in
the Brand-Bronco melee Tuesday aft-
ernoon I have' been about as stiff as
grandpa's old long handles hanging
out in zero weather on wash day.
Nevertheless I managed to "loosen-
up" enough to get your eighth paper
ready for publication.
Although the 13. I. has included a
few lines this year concerning mem-
bers of the B. S. U. delegation it
never has reached the point YET that
your editor has resorted to the Minis-
terial Council in 'a vain attempt to
protect his character. (Refer to Town
Hall News).
We've heard that some people burn
the midnight oil while others consume
it. After P. J. appeared this week
we surmise that the authors had to
burn midnight oil to find all -those
. . . words with which to describe the
BI editor. THAT'S AN ODDITY.
Tho column is usually the result of
consumed . . . oil.
And have you noticed the change
that has taken place in Female Judg-
ment recently? Even a staff mem-
ber didn't recognize the column when
it made its weekly debut in the Brand
office this week.
Congratulations to SLIME CRAW-
LEY because he can really take it.
It's just n shamo that all freshmen
aren't like him.
The B. I. has heard that BEEZER
GLENN is just crazy to renew the
high school romance with BETTY
BOOP.
Something new DALTON and
HAMMOND beifttf' invited to a dance
at .tho state hospital. Surely TIPPEN
and RALPH didn't ask them.
A bouquet of mistletoe to MAH-
LER and PINGLETON for courting
those McMurry freshmen. But after
all someone has to teach them.
And we wonder whose tie that the
McMurry freshman SLIME HARDIN
was wearing. She said that it be-
longed to a short black headed cornet
player in the Cowboy band.
Apologies to Female Judgment
but ... the bus driver for the B. S.
U. convention delegates reports that
"preachers and preacherettcs Bure
know how to court." . . . Maybe that
accounts for the fact that going the I
bus on which Miss CARPENTER rode
was not the least bit crowded . . . and
returning: She changed busses but the
crowd had also changed. . . . MAR-
THA RIGNEY had a good time on the
trip. . . . DOW and TAGGART hud an
excellent place to stay in Lubbock
and dates were furnished. . . . DEXTER-RIDDLE
needed someone late
Saturday night to take one of his
double dates off his hands so that he
could make the midnight show . . .
and he did. . . . DICKSON also made
the midnight show with ? ? ? 7
And may the B. I. warn JIMMY
MOORE and DOT DOSIER against
trusting REV. DOW too far. ... He
won't sign the license unless you pay
him.
After a trip such ns the B. S. U.
delegates made the B. I. feels that
its gossip for this year should move
on to greener and better pastures next
week. The group made enough dirt
that by the time it all leaks out they
won't need any more publicity
"If 'Chewing Tobacco! PRESTON
Loud Mouth' ROBINSON and BABE
ALEXANDER would change their
way of acting they would be better
liked by everyone . . . and they might
even have a date every now and then."
An ELIGIBLE.
INEZ HOWARD slime from Ham-
lin is going to be classified with the
conceited gang if she" doesn't drop
those high school ways and start
speaking to someone on the campus.
We wonder why little BAGGETT
confines his efforts to extreme bru
nettes
And that ladles and gentlemen

Rader Lee Carry
Life Of Romance
To Dramatic End
Take Lover Roles In Player's
Stage Production On
November 18
By Sarah Cox
In the "Three Cornered Moon" to
be presented' by the H.-S. U. Players
on November 18 Ann Rader and
Avery Leo carry their love life even
to the stage. It is romance in the
most dramatic fashion ever witnessed
by the theater-goers of H.-S. U.
Avery had leading roles in two pro.
vious productions "Ghosts" and
"Night of January 16" and this year
he is cast as a dreamy moody novel-
ist which is very different from any
other role. Ann's role is a double in
which she has one laughing one min-
ute and the next she has you crying.
Freshman Karl Bonneaux makes
his first debut to the H.-S. U. audi-
ences. We remember him in tho Abi-
lene High School tournament play
"The Princess Marries the Page" and
now ho takes the part of Ed who is a
young college boy who is full of viva-
ciousness and collegiate spunk.
Jeanette Patterson takes the part
of Mrs. Pimplegard and is the very
irresponsible mother of a largo fam-
ily. We have seen her in the "Night
of January 10." She has won our
admiration through her frivolity and
nonchalance on the stage as well as
off.
Our fun-loving Hibbard Polk takes
tho role of the persuasive Englishman
who raves and tears his hair all
through tho play.

Prexy Visits Hardin
President J. D. Sandefer went to
Dallas yesterday morning to visit

pital. Dr. Sandefer will board a train this

the Emporia State Hornets.

blandly what "pinch hitting" meant.
Sandefer by this time in the audience
explained he was "taking Mr. Cald-
well's place."
"Your American slang." Gipsy a
British subject shook his head then
told hip audience "since the piano is
really to supply the program tonight
I'm just pinch-hitting for the piano a
moment."
"Music" he said "is for the chil-
dren of God. To be used in his praise."
Gipsy Smith arrived here Thursday
for a. few days' visit in the home of
Mr. and Mrs Young who traveled

portant undertakings on the campus

BITTER BLOODY BATTLE
Ferguson Faithful Forces Fight Furiously
Warl Bloody war in Ferguson hall!
All the boys residing therein are
united against the common enemy and
fighting shoulder to shoulder. Walls
tremble windows rattle and pictures
topple from the rusty nails on which
they are hung as if to terrific earth-
quake were in progress.
Boys with grim faces wield their
weapons whether a broom pillow or
house-shoe each with the force of ten
men Above the blows and thuds can
be heard blood-curdling yells of "Down
with 'em I Remember last night I
Kill 'em!"

aae out-numbered 30 to one but they
fight on just as their heroic Texas

They are fighting for their homes

The walls become smeared with
enemy blood as the weapons amash
them against the plaster. But the in-
vaders are also drawing blood. When
one of the elusive invaders strikes
some hapless hall boy utters a long
agontcing scream.
Suddenly there is a triumphant cry

by tho entire membership of the Cow
girls and Cowboy band are rolling
