Women vs. Men In
Debate At Barkeley
Tuesday night approximately
30 girls went to a Camp Barkeley
service club for the purpose of
listening to a combination debate
panel discussion and open forum
on the subject "Should women be
drafted into the armed services of
the United States?" The debate was
arranged largely through the efforts
of Miss Dorothy Compere of Abi-
lene. Assuming the affirmative side of
the question were Mrs. Wm L.
Lewis of the Abilene city schools
Miss Maude King supervisor of
Smith Hall dormitory Thelma Lee
Russell and Imogene Taylor H-SU
seniors.
Those opposing were Pvt. Robert
Holcomb Pvt. David Bass Pvt. John
Trojan and Pvt. Leroy DcPuy all of
Camp Barkeley.
Beginning at 8:30 two speakers
from each side spoke "alternately.
Representing the women were Mrs.
Lewis and Miss Russell. Pvt. Hol-
comb and Pvt. DcPuy made the
speeches for the men. Following
this a short panel discussion was
carried on with all the members of
the panel taking 'part and then an
open forum in which the audience
participated.
The affirmative speeches em-
phasized the expediency of the
draft stating that there was a var-
iety of work which the women could
do as well as the men and in many
cases better. To utilize to its fullest
advantascs the woman power of
this nation the women speakers
recommended the draft.
The men in opposing the draft
claimed that it was unnecessary
that neither men in the service nor
civilians desired the draft that
women were biologically incapable
of actual army service and that the
draft would lead to the breakdown
of the American home.
Interest heightened visibly when
the discussion was opened to ques-
tions from the floor. Questions from
all parts of the room were shot at
the women. The attitude of the
army men toward the drafting of
women was unmistakable. They
heartily opposed it. Despite being
outnumbered the women held their
own remarkably well. The parley
of verbal repartee which filled the
room was amazing and amusing.
When charges were made from
the floor concerning the increase of
" immorality and illegitimacy among
the WACs and the WAVEs Miss
Taylor quoted Secreteary of War
Stimson as saying there was "no
evidence of the WACs' immorality."
One of the men stated "Men pro-
duced houses; women the homes"
and proceded from that point to
further argue against the drafting
of women.
"We arc going to have to invade
the masculine mind as well as
Europe" quipped Miss King.
For approximately an hour the
argument waged. No attempt was
made to designate the victor. The
purpose of the forum was entertain-
ment with an attempt perhaps to-
ward mental stimulation. In either
case it was successful. Both the
service men and Hardin-Simmons
students seemed to want more of the
same thing and there is to be more
in the near future.

Stop Look & Listen
By MARGARET COLE
Fashion for fashion's sake is no
longer the fashion. . . but clothes
are as important as ever. Clothes
for warmth on these cooler days
practical clothes for campus wear
durability for longer service but
clothes that still keep that feminine
look for those who have the desire
to be well and suitably dressed to
look the part. . . .
Suits seem to be the answer to
most of our questions now as to what
to wear. But has anyone noticed
how red suits have taken the spot-
light? There are many shades of red
and many different Btyles of suits
but I've noticed especially those red
suits worn by Margarette Summer
lin. Perla Dudley Olive Davit Mable
Simmons Chrlttine Waddlll Fran-
ces Prlchard June Malouf Elaine
Davit and Earnettlne Copeland.
Really girls we all like red so just
keep on wearing those suits. They
are pretty.
Mary Jane Carpenter was seen
wearing n beautiful white Angoria
sweater to set off her light blue suit.
Frances Stoker wears a "sun-yellow"
suit which looks smart cither in
class-room or for drcss-up. Frances
Riddle chooses on off-shade of green
for her suit and it is very becom-
ing to her blonde hair. Doilt Mc-
honey was wearing a blue suit while
working down at Thurman's to sec
that everyone had their picture
made.
Jimmy Rth Skilot looked very
neat in a soldier blue dress with red
wool embroidery on it. Brunette
Nell Verna LeMond looks charming
in a pink box-style coat especially
when worn with a dress of the same
shade. Can you imagine Mary Nell
Waller in a gold dress? It's very
becoming. Green and red go beau-
tifully together especially when it
is Dorothy Murphree't hair and her
green suit and topped with a pretty
white blouse. Erma Wllton't red
coat worn with a cream colored wool
dress sets off her dark beauty very
nicely. Ideal was Helen Edmonton
wearing a white wool skirt an
orchid sweater and with a single
strand of pearls to make everything
just right.
Mart Ve Everton looks darling
in royal blue which does so much for
her flaxen hair. Frances Carpenter
is seen in a very smart beige tailor
ed suit. Janelle Harrwick looks so
pretty in yellow; it is undoubtedly
one of her most flattering colors.
Frandle McBride sports a beautiful
pink sweater which blends with her
olive complexion and pretty black
hair. Pat Sandefer wears a good-
looking powder blue sports coat

What with the excitement of two
mammoth coming attractions facing
us our little "brook" has swelled
into a river that threatens to simply
overflow. Right at hand is the re-
vival to be held at University Bap-
tist Church Oct. 3-10. And every
one has heard the good news about
Bro. Joe Trusscll's coming to .lead
the slngingl On Sunday afternoon
October 10 at 3 o'clock Bro. Vaught
has planned a special dedication
service which is to be the highlight
of the week . . . and a feature that
HSU will want to turn out for 100
percent.
' And at last it is here! (Let's not
mob the place . . . your Baptist Stu
dent will be here toon too). We
are referring to that all Important
news concerning our State-Wide
Baptist Student Convention to bo
held in Waco at Baylor University
and First Church there November
2 and 3. There arc to be FIVE
"streamlined" sessions that you
won't want to miss; so give your
"registration dollar" to Chris Wad-
dill in the BSU office right away.
Hotel reservations may also be made
through the BSU office. This is
strictly off the record but this past
summer Hardin-Simmons had the
second largest student delegation in
the whole South attending the Bap-
tist Student Retreat at Ridgecrest
N. C. . . . so it should be a "simple"
matter for HSU to have the LARG-
EST delegation to our STATE Con-
vention. If you've never been to a
BSU convention well-. . . you still
have a lot of "living" to do ... we
wouldn't miss it ... no sircel
By BOYD ROBERTSON
This past week has been an
eventful one for our student body.
We have had lots of fun and have
done some important things. Several
of my fellow-students have come to
me and said "I think politics is get
ting in my bones and I would like
to run for a student council office
or see somebody else get in who
would make a good council mem
ber." I'm glad to see this kind of
political enthusiasm. I would en-
courage any student with any good
ideas to run for a student office.
The student council appreciates
the enthusiasm shown by those who
enjoyed the talent parade last
Tuesday night. Someone suggested
that we have more of that kind of
activity. Well we will have several
things this year along the line of
"Varsity Varieties" If we can have
your co-operation and I am sure wc
can count on you.
Another election which will be on
this week is the Who's Who. Fifteen
students will be elected by the stu-
dent body to represent Hardin-Simmons.
Let us also keep in mind that the
University Queen election is com-
ing upsoon and I believe we should
begin now talking about who would
make the best Queen.
This year already is proving to be
one of the best years for H-SU in
that the spirit of the "purple and
gold" is radiant in each hall in every
room. Let's keep those polors flying.
