CHECK UP.
WITH one week to go the final strctcli is definitely
here. Finals begin next Wednesday and Bcniors
urc supposed to graduate just six days later. Arc we
all ready for the eventful day?
If we arc then it is the first time in the history of
the institution. Have we not missed a test somewhere
down the line that needs making up? Is not some
little task left undone that may make the difference
between passing and failing a course?
The registrar's office is the best place to go to check
up on such things and a trip is more than in order at
the present time especially for seniors.
Neglecting such minor details has long been the
habit and practivc of college students and they never
have learned from past experiences. This year will
probably be no different from the rest.
When the bustle of dead week and finals has died
and the smoke cleared away there will be some sad and
mournful seniors who could have made it if they had
just remembered and there will be some underclass-
men who will not receive credit in some course because
they forgot . A few years later they will become a
mournful senior etc. So why not CHECK UP NOW.

COMMENT
Dear Editor:
I am tired of autographing annuals.
Each night I go to the library to try and get my house
in order for the judgment day which is so nigh upon
us but I no more than get enthralled by the deeds of
Ccnsar and the tales of Chaucer wlrcn some giggling
freshman or serene uppcrclassman thrusts a Bronco at
me and says coyly "Write something nice in here will
you please."
Jerked so rudely back to earth my blood surges past
the boiling point in one spurt and I rise to strike my
agitator from the earth once and for nil. But by the
time I gain my feet I remember that I too am prone
to pass my book around for signatures quite often so
1 sink back into submission to jerk up a pen and write
"Old boy old pal you are among the best on this
campus and I hope my associations with you may con-
tinue." The source of my misery thus removed I seek to
again concentrate on my work but find that my mind
has strayed far from the task in hand so I betake my-
self to the lower floor of the library to steady my nerves
with n drink of water.
My feet hardly tough the floor before I am swamped
by an angry horde screaming madly "write in my
book." Willi my licad in my hands (figuratively
speaking) I commence making the rounds and strive
valiantly not to say the same thing in any two books
in a row. When the task is finally finished I slink
back upstairs to take up my work but the clock reads
9:15 so I go down and check out some books silently
cursing myself for wasting another night from the few
remaining.
Now 1 know that I am not a very popular person
on this campus and I don't particularly care. 1 have
spent two years here and have not as yet been swamped
with friends so why should I suffer so right at the close
when I need time so badly.
As a free-born student in the good graces of all my
fellow men I am ready to rise up with any sort of in-
surrection and demand by force that annual autograph
hunters be barred now and forever from tire library
and I believe 400 students will follow any such move-
ment. Sincerely
I. M. FLUNKING.

By E. M. Landers
rHAS been the custom of Hardin-Simmons each year
to sponsor sectional clubs which arc supposed to
furnish means of social activities to students but they
may have a far more important purpose if the members
will only take it upon themselves td see to it.
Each member of each sectional club comes from a
community where tlrcrc is a high school graduating a
group of potential college students each year. Hardin-
Simmons has not in the past drawn the portion of West
Texas high school graduates that she should and the
clubs could help in a large measure to remedy this sit-
uation if they will devote some time to it.
Tliis institution is the logical place for West Texas
students to go to school. It is ideally situated in the
largest city between Fort Worth and El Paso it is the
best equipped university in all of West Texas it boasts
a strong faculty and a well-equipped athletic depart-
ment. The music department is one of three in Texas
recognized by the American Music association and
there is adequate equipment to furnish instruction in
almost any field but graduating high school seniors
cannot know all these tilings and is utterly impossible
for the university to contact each of them.
This is where the clubs come in. Every such organ-
ization on the campus should .hold a meeting before
the close of this term to make plans for furthering the
interests of Hardin-Simmons in their community.
Socials in a central city of the sections have been
tried more or less successfully in the past but they
are not representative enough and cannot take in enough
prospective students. Club leaders acquainted with the
communities which they represent might think of better
plans.
No matter what methods arc used let's forget our
petty grievances and devote our energies to the bringing
of more students to Hardin-Simmons so that in years
to come we may say we had a part in making her nn
Alma Mater creditable to anyone.

DOES YOUR POCKETBOOK HANG?

'U.l- M
OP"V
Are you one of those persons who have trouble in
getting your pockctbook out of your pocket when tire
time comes to pay for the show the eats or the drinks
that you have shared with your friends?
If so that explains why it is so hard to get class dues
collected every time a class wants to hold any kind of
social affair which calls for the financial support of
its members.
Co-operation in any organization is the factor which
makes its activities a success. Lack of co-operation
either makes the burden fall heavily on a few if it does
not result in total failure.
Of course money is not exceptionally plentiful at
this time of the year with most people but you are
spending a certain amount for things that you are not
obliged to have anyway. The small sum asked for
class dues will not make much difference one way or
the other in the status of your pocketbook and it will
mean a orreat deal to the class as a whole.
Now let's see how many of you fulfill the description
of the type at the beginning of this editorial and step
aside to let someone else bear the expense of your
pleasure. The rrmne

TYPES OF LIFE:
The last one to leave the bull ses-
sion. Sometimes wo forget that the ad-
ministration of this school is benevo-
lent. We think of its personnel ns
bcirig made up of anhilists rendering
judgment ngainst us in the light of
some dark ulterior aim. We see a
sinister reason behind every action.
Pause to consider and you arc likely
to change your opinion. Consider the
man behind the flashlight.
His gray eyes arc bordered by a
couple of crow feet and inhabited by a
couple of twinkles. Life has been ob-
served through them. The owner has
reared children of his own; but most
important of all he has raised cat-
tle. People who raise cattle arc
never quite the same. Their Judg-
ments acquire a new profundity and
they arc better able to understand
people.
All of this is apparent when he
chuckles n man in his position who
can't chuckle is a detriment. He sees
so many things to chuckle over rather
than become ired about. Yet he is ns
loyal to his job as well as to the
students. ... To know him is to appre-
ciate him. . . .
CRABBED
This little corner for most part has
been written with little malice before
(or after) thought. The general tone
I believe has been one of manifest
benevolence and child-liko faith in the
innate goodness of mankind. How-
ever people had rather read evil than
bad and there is always a premium
on debunking. For this reason I am
going to tnko this parting shot nt
one who seems to need it.
I refer to one who Is a misun-
derstanding victim of misunder-
standing. Plumbed to her inner
depths she is neurotic. She is
one who can truthfully say that
she suff crs of an inferiority
complex. She has never felt as
one of the mob. She has always
felt left out and she became
ever alert to consider herself
wronged. Meaningless remarks
became pointed barbs to her. She
became retiring and a little bit-
ter. . . .
In a few exciting moments she
found herself at the head of the same
group of which she had so wanted to
be a member. Her authority made
her drunk. She became domineering
and overbearing. She tried to make
the group a part of herself. Polly
Anna's maiden aunt (prior to the
time she welcomed love) was never
more harsh. Maybe she will change.
There are not many wrong people.

THE CROWNING BEAUTY
The crowning beauty of a woman's
hair which one hears so much about
and sees so little of is it must be
admitted very much a matter of gen-
eral health. Tho unfortunate animals
who servo as subjects for the scien-
tists' dietary experiments prove this.
Lack of essential vitamins and min-
erals first shows in the condition o
their coats. Hair becomes shaggy
lustreless and rough. As the experi
ment continues it falls out. It is ol-
vious that the first step to hair
beauty lies in a sufficient diet. Sleep
is another necessity and eight hours
is the right amount for most people.
But after all this which is simply
a matter of common senso and effi
cient living there is still the question
of specific care. Even healthy hair
must be kept clean. If it is dull and
lifeless the scalp must be stimulated.
The dandruff with which most of u?
are afflicted has to bo kept within
bounds.
So far ns cleansing is concerned
there can bo no doubt in the mind of
any chemistry student that a sham
poo liquid cleanser is more efficient
than cake soap. It covers the neces-
sary territory thoroughly and lathers
more rapidly. Herbal shampoo is
particularly recommended because it
is brought out in two specialized
forms: for the dry scalp and the other
for the normal and oily scalp. Also
it incorporates the healing and fra-
grant oils of the balsam ns well as
many other valuable herbs One more
quality to be noted is its economy.
A little herbal shampoo goes a long
way. Half an ounce is more than
sufficient for two generous soaping?
and will leave the hair soft and glossy
and easy to manage.
For the dankness that makes hair
flat and unnttractivc a hair tonic is
a necessity. Rub it into the scalp
three or four times a week and mas-
sage vigorously. You will bo surprised
nt the improvement three or four
weeks of this treatment will make.
Balsam oil for the very dry scalp and
for brittle hair is a perfect corrective.
Heat and apply as long before wash
ing as possible. The balsam oil Is
healing and will help restore tho nat-
ural oils and pristine vitality of the
hair.
