Athletic Director.
At last definite action has been taken
Bpon the matter of an athletic director.
Whether the measure will bo accepted by
the faculty is a question that can only
be decided when the authorities have
reached their conclusions. Yet the Brand
feels that it is necessary that something
more be said in regard to the matter so
that it will be clear to all.
As the resolution tha passed was un-
derstood it was in no means meant that;
a separate member should be added to
the faculty to take caTo of the position.
That seems to be the impression of many
but even though that might be a very de-
sired thing every student cannot fail to
recognize the impossibility of such a
move on the part of the college. The fi-
nancial status will not permit such a Step
and in the eyes of most of those discussing
the question that phase is given no. con-
sideration whatever.
Placing the athletic funds in the hands
of one of the .coaches Would do away
with many of the inconveniences that ac
crue as a result of the .different things
that come up concerning equipment: The
coaches instead of having to get a permit'
from the bursar would be at liberty1 to
make the few repairs that are necessary
to all equipment without having to go
through the trouble of seeing others. Be-
ing responsible for the athletic fund they
would assuredly use common sense in re-
gard to money matters.
Publicity is one of the things.lhat is
necessary .if Simmons athletics are to be
placed upon the basis that they should
occupy. The officials now in charge
though they beperfectly Willing cannot
give all thetime thatis necessary is neces-
sary toward giving each contest sufficient
publicity. Crowds are necessary to keep
any team going and unless the crowds are
obtained athletics will always be 'a lia-
bility instead of an asset. Putteing the
entire matter in the hands of those di-
rectly interested should cause more zeal
being thrown Into the work.
The HomeGoing.
Directly following this edition of the
Brand a large part of the students will
be' practically ready for the departure for
their homes. The usual result Js that a
number of the students drpp out of .school
at the conclusion of the fall term their
places to be filled by students that might
have completed the various high schools
throughout the country.
Every old student sincerely hopes that
none of the listlessness toward returning
to Simmons after the holidays will exist
among those students' going home. The
friendships made should at least act as
something of a drawing card toward the
return of everyone for it is the firm be-
lief of all those who have gone through
with college life that the friendships made
there are the best and most lasting if
they are' the least bit cherished.
Cherished they should be for in the
eyes of. the Brand there is nothing great-
er than a real live friendship that is spon-
sored and cherished by the possessor.
Without friends life can hardly be worth-
while after all and unless we can have
gained something then there is practical-
ly no use of existing in any form.
f. I. P. 4. Entries.
Now that the Holidays have practically
arrived the Brand editor would suggest
te those who might have inclinations to-
ward the entering of manuscripts into
the' T t P. A. try-outs "which are to be
held early in March that they do their
utmost in preparation on these articles
dwtag the time preceding the re-opening
ef. aebeol. The t. L P. A. is probably
the beat ohance that the Simmons student
awe ef showing his real literary ability
MmI te those who have that talent whether
1m b Freshman Senior or any of the
diw tlu; he can have no better op-.
peHwnWy than through the medium of the
X. I. A. contests.

Ijahi aid k is ainsarsty hoped
that it does not. Spend your holidays in
honest hard work on something that will
be entered in these tryouts. Practically
three weeks will be open to the student
that he might devote tfr this endeavor and
that is all that one could wish for the
first draft of article essay or short story.
Time is necessary for the final copy and
that can be' attended to during the spare
hours later. But get busy. Write a story
in essay a poem anything to show that
you are really anxious for Simmons to
make somo kind of a showing In the. T.
I. P. A. contests to be held sometime in
fpril at Baylor University.
Merry Christmas.
The Christmas Holidays have again
come to us. Students are everywhere busy
in the final preparation -for the departure
to their various homes. To all students
the Brand extends its best wishes. May
the New Year bring greater and richer
blessings.. And with it all let us return
to make of the old school a bigger brighter
and better Simmons.
Friendliness.
Sometime ago the Brand ran an article
dealing with the friendliness that has been
'so marked this year between Simmons and
A. C. C. As time lias passed that spirit
of good-will has continued to flourish and
it is the sincerest hope of the Brand man-
agement that it should do so.
There seems to be no earthly reason
why it should not. The two schools are
existing for the same purpose and in
many cases have exactly the same friends.
To work against each other is to work
against the friendship of some of both
schools' most loyal supporters. Instead
of doing good the little petty malices can
only do evil in that they divide the back-
ers of each school.
Why cannot the spirit be forwarded?
What legal excuse has any student of ei-
ther school to keep it from being accom-
plished? To us there seems none and
it also seems much better that the two
colleges should begin to work in unison
and show more of 'that good feeling of fel-
lowship that every college is due another
and is' dUe to' receive from another.
' KOLLEGE KOHHENTS.
When Patrick Henry said "We must all
hang together or.assuredly we must all
hang separately" he was -referring to the
thirteen colonies but it applies to Baylor
College girls as well. United Statements.
Why do they try to lay everything like
that off on Patrick. True Pat was a fairly
decent fellow and reached a plane of
prestige somewhat above that of the ort
dinary student but why should every quo-
tation of American History be laid at the
door of the orator. Pat was only me out
oi several wxiu iwu t v....D ......
period. To go a little further it seems
to K .K. that It was altogether unlike Pat
... . n..il.tM lilm tfint nnntpri. Ilia
thoughts ran more to the "Gimme liberty'
or gimme death" type and K. K. does not
believe that he coud have thougbt of such
a statement as that which applies to the
Baylor girls. Probably he would have said
the "gimme liberty" part had. he seen
them but' not being an eye witness to their
various actions while they are in attend-
ance at Baylor College K. K. is not able
to vouch for that altogether. He might
have said such on a similar occasion. Then
again he might not. You never can tell.
The Baylor writer probably does nqt have
a very clear memory concerning such ex-
tremely minor details of American His-
tory or she would not have committed her-
self by placing the blame for the- quoted
statement upori an innocent party. One
Ben Franklin was hanging out with the
leaders of the American Revolutionary
period and Bennie was the proud possessor
.of a rather keen mind. Instead of thinking
the same' lines as Patrick he turned more
in the line of "Early to bed and early to
rise."
But to Franklin should go he credit
for "the quotation. As far as K. K. can
learn it was on the occasion of the signing
of the. Declaration of Independence that
the veteran of American wisdom uttered
the wotds that have been preserved to the'
present day.. Whether the Baylor writer
was aware of this fact or not matters lit-
tle. But to Franklin should go the credit
of a large part of the brilliant sayings
that have practically become a part of
the present day household.

WONDERFUL MAN.
In the image of God created
Endowed with the breath of life
0 wonderful Man how feeble-
How small in the super-strife.
Though you're master of locomotion
And play with a plus of power
Control if you can lone Luna
Or topplo the sun's high tower.
Like a bird you may span tlio ocean
Or under it ssurface glide
And yet can you calm its waters
Or hasten the rising tide?
You may rido on the summer breezes
And circle the world at will
But can you with all your forces.
The breath of the storm-king still?
You may bottle the mountain torrent
And use all its wealth at will
As long as your Maker makcth
The waters to flow and fill.
You may cover- the earth with cities
Grow flowers and food and wealth
As long as there's snow and sunshine
And brain and brawn and health.
What a wonderful living creature
You arc (and you ought to be)
As long as your 'Maker makcth
And giveth abundantly.
But with all of your boasted greatness
And pride in your place and worth
How long would your power linger
If God should abandon earth?
By the Rocky Mountain Rhymster.
