Memorial Day is the 12th of Octo-
ber, when Columbus discovered Ameri-
ca. This day is celebrated in all the
;;l,ut.in American countries with big
spectacles and plenty of rejoicing. I
fiif one, speak of the way Mexico
. celebrates this day. The 12th of Oc-
tober—"Dio de la Itoza"—is a popu-
lar festivety. The stores are closed,
the workingmen are given this day
for their leisure. The civil authori-
ties or sometimes private organiza-
tions put on a big parade, other times
a sumptuous pageant, with ships rep-
resenting Columbus' famous caravels,
JKfll The main celebration,* though, is the
. traditional bullfight. Although many
are performed by amateurs occasion-
ally. on this particular day the best
of'bullfighters display their skill and
Valor.
;• sf; it was seven years ago that one of
the strangest things happened in the
annals of tauromaguy (art of bull-
flfrhting).
The Plaza de Toros in Monterrey
was thoroughly filled with people.
Ti e bulls were of the best stock, and
viffis savage as they were supposed to
/^be, the public expected a good show.
f|3ut to the big disappointment of the
people, the bullfighters did not act as
•though they were very courageous
that day. Suddenly from the sunny
side of the plaza was heard a bustle,
and then a boy Stood up. The crowd
nearby cheered him. He came down
tgio the ring whe.er the bull was, wait-
.'''iraSng foi some action. As this boy had
Vint the customary cape, he just took
olV his coat, went toward the bull,
'•wave him the first pass, then a second,
then a third: Stupendous passes!
After a few more passes he knelt be-
fore the hull. Oh, heavens! The mul-
titude got up, clapped furiously, hol-
§|f»ered as loud as they could, praised
that wondrous boy to tiia^lfles.
F3if A little while' after the bugle sound-
til announcing the time for the execu-
tion of the bull. The crowd took their
. '■feats to watch' what happened. The
Joy approached the balcony where the
Jimster of ceremonies had his quarters
tin! asked for leave to kill the bull,
phe master of ceremonies refused.
jA.ll the spectators rose and formed
feuch a turmoil and disorder that this
^impromptu matador was given a cape
fend sword to kill the bull, without any
an ore . objections. Again'; he was
,, cheered and highly commended. He
t ent toward>the bull, gave liifft a few
asses, and when he deemed the time
ecessary and the bull's position sat-
isfactory, he thrust the sword into the
|bu!li with the art, dexterity, and ex-
perience worthy of a consumated tor-
ero, Of little value will be the at-
tempt to describe the feeling, spirits,
"and enthusiasm of that multitude, and
the ovation that the boy received.
M Prom there on th's boy studied that
^profession and participated in many
other fights.
| Today Lorenzo Garza is one of the
tiost outstanding toreros in Mexico,
outh America, and Spain.

IS THE LIBRARY
REALLY OURS?
Why is our library closed at night?
Must the entire student body suffer
because of the mischief of a few?
There is a shortage of books, yet
tjje library is closed to the students
Hrtlie most convenient time for study-
ing. All students like to study and
do their best studying at night. They
pay a fee for the privilege of using
I the books. A number of these books
i are placed on reserve and cannot be
checked out, but must, be read in the
' library during library hours. There-
' fore, it is impossible for some work-
ing students to use the books which
they need. Instructors are giving li-
j brary„ assignments with the sugges-
tion that students go to the city li-
; brary, if ^h"ey do not get the books
| here. This request is not only an in-
> convenience to some, but an impossi-
bility to"others.
A large number of students attend
classes all morning and work all aft-
ernrtrr?. Through no fault of theirs,
I they have no opportunity of going to
the libitfuy during the day. If the li-
brary is closed at night, then what
will be the results ?
If the library is opened in the even-
ings what will be the results? There
I will be a more cooperative spirit bo-
! tvveen the student and the teacher.
| and there will be a great improvement
in the gracjes for the remainder of
the semester.

BOILER ROOM
GANG -
President Ramey once again called j
I the "Boiler Room Gang" together last I
j Wednesday night. The motto, song,
emblem and colors were voted upon
after the minutes of the last meeting
were read. Future business and en- j
| tertainments were also discussed as,
well as a unanimous vote for a sister
club already in existence called "Boiler
j Room Belles."
An open house is planned for the
latter part of the month in the "Car-
1 nation Room." Present at the meet-
ing were Ramey, McClesky, Canifax,
Herring, Paddock, Strain, Fl.vnn, and
Sponsor "Dub" Graves.
Meeting Wednesday night at 8:00
i o'clock.
How They Feel
And now what do we expect from
the Rams in the Daniel-Baker game?
The Pre-season dope was for Daniei-
Baker by a couple of touchdowns.
But at the present time, the dope-
bucket has taken another position.
The Daniel Baker team, won three and
lost one, while the Rams navan taken
j the measure of four teams in victory;
i two 'of these by top-heavy score*.
; We must riot expect too much, how-
ever in the Hill-Billy combat, because
we will have at least five starters
absent from the .starting line-up.
( The coach of Daniel Baker has re-
fused to allow Bray, Reese, and Mak-
arwich to play because of previous
experiences in higher competition.
The loss will be sorely felt.
Bray, the stono-\.:UI of the line,
i will probably be missed more than the
others, because trie reserve strength
at tackle is .Jfarce. This loss,
MakatWHjj'i, at guard and Reece, at
half will m up for in their play-
ing.
Other replacements will .probably
be for Rhome at end and Randolf at
| guard. Rhome was clipped going
! down on a punt and Randolf was in-
jured in a pile-up.
The stiff competition will be all t' e
i more excit'ng with these men on the
| side line. To T.W.C. fans it does not
| matter what the predictions ar.> I I'S

Fine Arts Program
The alphabetical romance of A. B.
(and Q. T. was presented by the Fine'
| Arts department Thursday morning
' in chapel. The members of the cast
were A. B. played by Ed Watson, Q.
T. by Kitty Morgan, M. D. by Carl
Garner, P. A. by D. A. Strain, M. A.
by Marguerite Flaniken, and C. O. 1).

Jeanette Wat kins gave two read-
ings. Members of the Freshman
speech class, Verna Mae Wilkerson
and Glenn Carter, gave the musical
skit. "The Milk Maid."
Kay Bradfield entertained with two
musical readings "Was My Face Red"
and "My Dog l.oves Your Dog," ac-
companied by Charline Wright.
Several popular piano numbers were
played by Carl Garner.
THE LIBRARY
IS YOURS
Whether or not to keep the library
open at night is still a subject of con-
troversy with a number of people. At
no time during the day has there been
| more in the reading room than could
be comfortably seated or served, so
far. Yet, we understand, that a num-
| her of students ask that we open the
i library at night for those who cannot
study here during the day. We want
to be of service to the largest number
/ sssiblo, and in the most efficient
manner.
Therefore, should it be decided that
the library be kept open at night, we
wish to call attention to the fact that
fie library is a plate where books are
to be used, not merely kept, strange
at that may seem. We prefer to have
books that are used by students rath-
er than book.- that stand on the
shelves unused.
Nevertheless, we expect that the
using of books shall not invite an un-
necessary amou'nt of conversation and
disorder in the reading room. The li-
brarian wishes to thank all of you
who have made a conscious effert to
move about and work quietly in the
library, and to invite all who care to
r-'e it at night (should we decide to
open), to help us maintain the atmos-
phere of study and quiet. You do your
part and all will appreciate it^

BALDY SCORES
AGAIN
PRESIDENT LOOKS
j FOR 5,000 FANS
When asked what size crowd he
| expected at the T.W.C.-Daniel Baker
game October If! at La Grave Field,
Dr. Brabham said he believed the
J sale of tickets would be between five
^jjand seven thousand if the weather is
good. Dr. Brabham expressed the
; sentiment of the student body in say-
j ing that he knew the game would be
! a close one, but he is looking forward
1 to a victory.
Word has been received that there
| will be delegations attending the
Rams' only home game from Corsi-
cana, Cleburne, Brownwood, Mineral
Wells, and other surrounding com-
munities.
Dr. Brabham also stated that he is
very well pleased with the progress
the team has made and knows they
will put up a fight tomorrow night.
The team appreciates the backing
and encouragement Dr. Brubham has
given them and will do their very
best to bring another victory to Texas
Wesleyan.
Buses chartered for the game
Dr." Brabham said that the T.W.C.
,ej, students would be allle to go to the
game in a body. There will be
specially chartered buses or street-
cars for taking the students to La
Grave' Field.
Are those buses going to be load-
ed? Are those buses going to be
roekin' and a-reeliri' when they come?

"Y" PLANS FOR
BUSY WEEK
"Baldy," demands Prof. Smith, as
he very noisily enters her speech class
a half hour late, "why are you so late
this morning?" 41
• Well, its this way," Baldy begins,
as 'he takes his Napoleonic stance in
front of the class. "1 sleep on the
back porch at night, and every morn-
ing the sun shines in and wakes me
up." (Loud laughter from the class).
Holding his hands in front of him
as if they were greasy, he continues.
"But this morning it was so cold that
1 put my head under the blankftt, and
the sun couldn't awaken me." (Gig-
gles and more laughter).
And another score is marked up for
old Baldy, the man who is pu-lentv
strong.
