WHAT IN THE H ... IS THE MATTER?
BV

i-ia i
WHIAT IN the H - is the matter with tho old Simmons spirit when
" students graduate? We bo often hear of tho good things that tho
alumni of other institutions arc doing for the good of their school but
what do you hear that the alumni of Simmons University arc doing?
Practically nothing visible. The men and women who have graduated from
this institution arc us intellectual and moral as any group of similar grad-
uates anywhere.
What seems to be the matter? Is it that our "'Sim fitc" is not rooted
deeply enough or docs it have the wrong kind of foundaion? Honcst-lo-goodness
school spirit ought to have strong cords attached to the heart of
each student. There isn't any use for the tics of friendship and devotion
to our Alma Mater to subside after graduation. On the oilier hand our
experiences should tend to strengthen our appreciation for "the school in the
west. Woulun t it be a grand and glorious feeling to have the graduates
ot aimmons lccling the heart throbs or the institution day-by-day?
For a long time this writer has wanted to give somebody a real good
"cussing" out for the lack of cooperation among our students. The time
has come for EVERY student to solp his knocking and begin praising. And
may I diverge here enough to say that if there is any student in Simmons
that can not honestly praise her then that suden should no be here and
should b hones enough with tho institution to leave immediately. May the
Senior Class of '31 prove a determining factor in interjecting life into
this alumni corpse. And may each succeeding class do their bit as a lie
unit of a composite whole. Yours for a more vigorous and united Simmons.

Who goes to college and why?
Dean Max McConn of Lehigh University says there arc three types of
students who attend college. The first is made up of the "bread-and-butter"
group who must go to enable them to make a living for themselves or
their families in the future. The second group is the "kindergarten" who
are sent to college by their fond parents so as to afford some place to
keep these overgrown children for the next four years. Tho last group is
composed of those who go to college for tho cultural purposes attached
thereto.
In which of these groups do you belong? They are all represented in
our University and it is as good a time now as any to check up on yourself
aad see just what you oro here for and what you are doing.
The bread-and-butter group is not to be condemned and surely the
bultural group is to be congratulated but what of the kindergarten group?
He cannot be looked up to and surely those who make up tin's part of the
University havo a feeling of inferiority when tho ideals of tho University
are concerned.
If this latter group grasps the controlling strings of tho University
the future would indeed be dark. The college would become a playground
for these "unfortunates" who had not been given backbone enough to
accomplish something and the result would be a weak place for proper
education. i (
Check up on yourselves and see where you stand. If the kindergarten
group has hold of you shake it off and become a real part fo tho Uni-
versity life. Don't be o baby. The Skiff.

Strange as it seems the freshmen
are planning a picnic 1 Wonder of
wonders! Although the plans liko a
final okeh everything seems to be in
readiness for the great weenio and
flngcr-burnlng contest It'll bo a
great day for tho mechanics when
some of tho wreck Fords will get an
out-of-town workout strut through
some rutty lane and como back with
all tho transmission and half of tho
bearings burnt out Serves 'cm right!
Well good luck. Freshmen the
sophomores havo had their good times
yeah when THEY wero Freshmenl
True to tho old-tlmo fashion the
oxes visiting On thocampus nro hav-
ing their time of handshaking and as
usual find that outsldo of a few
newly-painted benches tho old place
is just tho same oven to that con
trary sofa in Mary Frances. An er-
ror on somebody's part Mr. Cagle.
Wo wonder if Prof is making
funny faces at the band all tho time
he's directing to make them smile?
Or it might be a man farther back
that's doing so much to amuso the
drummers all three of 'cm. W'atch
'cm smile and even break into a gig-
gleon some of this fast and devilish
stuff.
And a few mora social hints are
being mado on tho campus that wo
don't get at Miss Macdonald's eti-
quette class. If you don't know get
wise.
As somo bright ono said: "You
may dress a senior in a white collar
but you can't keep the collar from
getting dirty."
Campus appearances seem to indi
cate that maybe Pansy was right the
other morning in chapel Only don't
become alarmed when you bump right
into someone hoering near the can
non in the semi-darkness they aro
too gentlo to harm you. Just keep a
stiff upper lip and a quiet one by
the way and tread your wcary'way
wherever you're going.
There's something in tho day's news
about Wild Bill Murry trying to clean
up 0. U. Ono enterprising paper re
cently published an editorial to tho
effect that applying tho old Chinese
proverb a man who usually looks for
trouble finds it Then they continue
since Bill has raised troublo with tho
legislature and his own newspaper
ho is like tho billy goat who tried to
butt tho train off tho track "Ho has
an abundance of courage but not a
wisp of discretion."
They sny tho three "Its" in lifo
aro Romance Rent and Rheumatism.
A freshman student "recently was
found frantically pleading with ono
of tho deans about something or oth-
er. Tho inquring reporter standing
close by twitched his news noso and
collected enough courage to approach
tho victim. What is your trouble
Sonny Boy?"
"I I flunked out last term and
another freshman over in Ferguson
said that I might see tho dean and get
in tho scholarship society ho said
they ALL mado good grades in therol"
Poor Kidl (Ho'd been fifteen years
old last Saturday). We pause to
mourn.

of super-putters who if they could
muster up oven a fair proficiency with
the other clubs used should find llt-
tlo trouble in becoming notable in this
grand old Scottish game.
Wo predict that in a few years that
instead of golf matches being played
for seventy-two holes that they will
bo ployed by tho week or month and
scoring dono on tho percentage basis
as it is in baseboll. Wo deem this
method a necessity for os they ap
proach perfection only some such
method would givo a fair test. Wo
also predict that all present "pars"
will be lowered and "bogey" tho
worklngman's friend wjll disappear
So American business men who did
not get in on this game or "rocket"
as somo stanch old handicappcrs call
it are gasping at tho chance they
missed and girls aro telling tho boy
friend "Well so-long Eddie. I'll
meet you down at the mlniaturo golf
course."
But-how long will this last? Will
the idea be improved on other attrac-
tions added etc. and mado to stick
or will some new game como along
und completely remove the public
fancy? Say polo played on roller-
skates and in the front hall there's

when ho started teaching astronomy;
but by tho way tho cars aro parked
along the lonesome roads every direc
tion from this city he must havo hit
upon a study that has been going on
for years.
And Spain is a republic they
have overthrown their king and ex-
iled him. I used to think that all
tho history books were made up to
torture us but I kinda sec now that
there really is such a thing as his-
tory. And tho city tennis tournament is
over and so aro Wheeler's hopes of
winning tho title. Howevecr Steakley
and Wheeler deserved to win the
doubles as they were tho best team
in tho race. Tho lovingcups they won
will look nice on the mantlcpiece.
And tho class track meet was just
as everyono had thought. Tho land-
slide war sorto pitiful. However
Red Davidson made more points on
paper than the boys did on tho track.
Ho was captain of tho seniors and
showed real skill in hooking tho other
boys out of their points.
It is about tife for another run of
banquets and picnics. The first is
the S club affair then the Cowgirl-
Cowboy dinner then the Senior-
Junior picnic and last the L. T. B.
weenie roast. It is funny how in
the spring a young person's fancy
lightly turns to thoughts of picnics.
I guess it is the call of the great
open spaces and the many ways to
dodge the chaperons.
THAT FAMOUS CONTINUED
STORY
And Wonk Howard returned to tho
compus and laughed at tho other boys
for still being in school. It seemed
like rain at first but then what can
you expect of a country liko Abilene.
Tho old man snorted out loud in
church and tho folks that wero run-
ning off the match shouted out to tho
man and told him to steer clear of tho
roefs. It was a first surprise when
the voice from tho sky screamed out
in a terriblo tone "So it is you eh?"
And the answer echoed back from the
depths of tho sea in a moan that shook
tho world "Who mo?"
MORAL: A story liko this ought
not to have any moral pointed out
it is too plain to tho human eyo to
sec.
Conventions aren't so bad. Lots of
visitors from all over Giles county
and tho way the crowd filled that au-
ditorium Tuesday night You can seo
whether 60c admission makes any dif-
ference or not
'
Several jlclegates remarked that tho
student body was very friendly. I'm
glad they were favorably impressed
and I hopo they got just a llttlo of
that Simmons spirit.
Everyono who saw tho "Lady of
Belmont" scorned to liko it. The play
itself Bhould bo worth tho money
sinco royalty alono Is twice tho usual
figures for a three-act play.
.
Now getting back to the usual
run of love affairs there is some-
thing funny about a young lady
comparing one of our promising
young ministers to a Bailor. That
Ford sedan surely does not look
like a SHIP to her.
Wish I could go on ono of the nice
picnics like all the llttlo girls have
been going lately. To bad wo can't
get a report on all the society but
then about the only thing that folks
will tell concerns somebody else.
m
If anyone ever Invents a scrum to
euro tho bite of tho love bug someone
should follow Margaret around. When
tho llttlo boy from Normangeo began
looking moon-eyed I hardly knew him.
There is a new sparkler to light
up Mary Frances. In the spring
the young man's fancy lightly turns
to thoughts of down payments.
Why they do it I don't know but
two little girls at Smith seem to liko
this old campus. Better stay away
from those little boys.
Next time somebody takes the Jobo
& McCord private car for a rido I
hope they come by for me. However
there is no danger of anyone going
far enough to get lost in it.
No uso in Red Woodson running
for tho position now held by our right
honorable Mr. Cagle. Tho light in tho
science hall which has been out for
the last six months has recently been
replaced. Looks liko politics to me.
Burncllc reports that the horso
is recovering as well as might be
expected. The recent forced land-
ing which resulted in large quanti-
ties of bumps and bruises a dam
aged jaw and loss of a few teeth
was purely accidental as she re-
ports thatatho horse was no wilder
' than sho was.
.
Simmons students who were gener-
ous enough to givo their scats to our
visitors at tho pageant Tuesday eve-
ning will respect our president's gra-
clousncss more to learn that ho fol-
lowed his own suggestion.
Several visiting oxes have been on
tho campus this week. Glad to seo
them.
What can we expect next? Ono
of our own sweet co-eds was heard
to tell Johnny Lovell to keep his
hands on the steering wheel.
Election news will bo taking tho
headlines In another week. Most of
tho races will find plenty of compe
tion but all of it friendly. Some
of tho candidates may get a little
over-het but no outbreaks arc ex-
seems iko it's hard to work up
much excitement about anything.
There aro somo among us who believe
that a short vacation say a couple
of weeks will mako ono feel liko
getting down to work.

that ho has in find a progressive pro-
gram with high goals set for tho va-
rious activities. Since the Simmons
B. S. U. was the .first in tho state to"
gain first magnitude it is their goal
to claim the samo honor for next year.
Gerald Williams present president
lead tho students through a very suc-
cessful year in which they gained
honors never before bestowed upon
them.
Mr. Swank says ho shall strive to
lead to a first magnitude not for the
sake of honor but for tho sake of the
efficiency it brings about in the or-
ganization. His goal for the Council .
is that every Baptist student be en-
listed into service and that every un--saved
student be won during the'
school year.
There are several mission points
within reach of Abilene which havo
in the past been partially served .by
tho B S. U. and much good has been '
dono through this service but the
goal for tho new year is to reach
farther out and carry the Gospel to
tho remote places in this section of
tho country. There is plenty of tal-
cnt on Simmons campus according
to Fred and it will bo his desire that
this be used for the advancefent of
Christ's- Kingdom on earth at least
within tho vicinity hereabouts. With
tho uso of the B S. U. which was
bought for the purpose the Council
can go in numbers of fiyo or six and
render programs that will be bene-
ficial both to them and to those whox
hear them. t x
Mr. Arthur Travis tho new exten-
sion secretary will have charge of
tho out-of-town services and Swank
expresses tho belief that Arthur will
dp a great work in that field. "We g
aro proud of .what our B S. U. has'
done and wo want to have those who
como after us to bo proud of the
work wo shall try to do next year"
said Mr Swank with feeling. "It is
my belief" Fred said "that we have
Borne of the most efficient officers'
for th5 next year's council that can
bo found anywhere and they seem
willing brio-operate for the Mice of
Simmons."
