"The old order change th yielding place to new and God fulfills himself in many ways lest one good custom should cor-
rupt the world." Tennyson.
Yep Exea You Are Welcome
With Homecoming activities just around the cor.
ncr tho resident students are extending a-most cor
dial invitation to the exes and alumni to como en
masse. However tho ox-students should not foci
that they have to wait for an invitation to come
back to Hardin-Simmons for tho day set aside for
them.
Children do not linger away from homo until
they receive a call to como back for a visit; they
go becauso they get sheer delight from seeing tho
folks and reliving tho past and discussing tho fu
turc. So it is with tho children of Hardin-Simmons.
They arc expected to wend their way homeward
without tho formality of an invitation.
The campus will be the stomping grounds of the
former ranchers and ranchorcttcs for one brief
golden day. For them the minutes will bo filled
with diamonds ; minutes that will sparkle with the
pleasures that come only from remembered pranks
good times in general moments recalled of classes
clubs and other activities.
Climaxing the period of remincsccnces will be
the Howard Payne game and the chance of relat-
ing tho past victories and defeats of tho two teams
that have held to their friendly feud throughout
the past homecoming games.
These forty acres are yearning for your .visit.

Streamlining The News
"Sa-a-ay look at this paper 1"
Just glance at the front page. This trend of
streamlining has invaded the campus via another
route the Brand. It isn't a "jumped up" affair
cither nor is it the concoction of short duration.
The layout of this week's paper is the result of
hours of thinking planning and working the final
set-up being decided upon in the wee hours of a
morning. All this has been dono toward the end
that the student body may have a more up-to-date
publication not only in style but interest as well.
Any paper that refuses to don a new dress occa-
sionally is soon outmoded and becomes uninterest-
ing. In this issue new "accessories" to the dress
have been added in tho form of columns features
etc. The name-plate in itself adds color to the
sheet and embodies the significance of the identifi-
cation marks of the cowmen.
Somo of the ideas carried out are peculiar to the
papers in this section of tho country. The arrange-
ment of the editorial page is especially adapted to
drastic methods and it took the lions share of the
turnover.
Criticisms will be prevalent in regard to the"
change and the staff would like to know what the
campus reactions arc. The students are requested
to drop by the Brand office and tell the editor what
they think of this edition.
We'll be looking for you 1
o
Freedom Of The Dress
Shirt-sleeves open collars ticlcss necks tennis
shoes polo shirts and even overalls compose the
classroom attire of students on this campus. v
. Informality is the keynote of tho clothes scheme
and comfort is the result of this informality. With
informality and comfort como better work ease of
mind less expenses freedom of movement and a
feeling of independence.
If the men students had to wear stiff shirts and
pressed pants all the time if they had to be immac-
ulate and "Esquire-ish" their laundry and press-
ing bills would rise above comfort as many of these
students are living on small incomes.
Besides this financial aid informality of dress
offers to the students a feeling of independence.
It is one less rule that he has to follow a matter
in which he can exercise his own judgment and
naturally take the consequences.
There are certain occasions that demand a cer-
tain stylo of dress the formal dance or reception
but on the whole tho student is allowed to ex-
ercise his own judgment.
So with this "freedom of the dress" local stu-
dents literally roll up their sleeves and go to class.

Well Folks -as tho authors of this
new column we feel that we are un-
popular enough on this campus to
justly fill tho position. If the things
wo say about you are true then get
sore and try for improvement; If they
are not true then forget about them
(if you can).
Please do not expect apologies
there will bo none.

Our Silken Honors
Who shall wear the Silk Bandana!
This new column is an exclusive feature devoted
to personality sketches of students not of every
student but of those who have achieved a high
standing in college with reference to Scholarship
goals attained service rendered and character.
This short biography is an honor to tho one who
receives the write-up. There will necessarily be a
small number who will be selected during the year
thus increasing tiic value of tho laurels so awarded.
Selections will he made from membership in tho
junior and senior classes only.
The Brand uses this channel to express to the
worthy leaders in the school its appreciation of
tho work they have done in tho promotion of sane
ideals and principles here on the campus "The
gate is narrow and few there shall be that find it."

Tho most fickle couples are Mavo'u-

Who was the couple on the campus
who thought they just had to get mar-
ried and are still undecided whether
to keep It a secret or not?
BecaUse Bessie Mcece believes in
tho Higher Ideals of Life people often
overlook her friendly attitude toward

Slowly but surely tho moo-gals pep

Meditations
By Rowland Dow
LOVE HENDERSON is causing us
to wonder. She is Just a blank with
the GIRLS but. seems to be popular
enough with the BOYS. That sophis-
tication is Just a front. What is she
hiding?
JIMMY MOORE is now one of the
KAT KLAW KLUB'S best customers.
But don't say anything; it's a touchy
subject to Jimmy.
Notice Radio Salesmen! BUSTER
HORN will soon be in the market
again for another radio. He is
courting BAGWELL quite regular
now .
R. I. (GOODY-GOODY) COL-
LIER and his new car have been
pulling the wool over CHAR-
LOTTE'S eye in a big way here
lately. Is the high school band
his only interest in Anson?
JO BOY has the wrong idea about
a lot of things; so here is our effort
to make him see the light. As a
freshman he has tho poorest spirit
ever displayed on this campus. He
wouldxbo much better off and more
likeable if he would take that bosk
on "How to Be the Life of the Party"
back and get his money.
We sec SAM still has the S. A. on
the newly appointed girl drum major
of the Cowboy Band but we think that
he made a bad crack at the door Sun-
day night when he said "Sometime
we'll take in a wrestling match." Do
you get it KATHERINE?
HIS PLAN
I said "Let mo walk in tho ficlds.y
Ho said "No walk in tho town;"
I said "There are no flowers there;"
"No fIovers"-ho said "but a crown."
I said "But the air is thick
And fogs are veiling the sun;"
He said "But souls nre sick
And souls in the dark undone."
I snid "The sky is black
There is nothing but noise and din;"
And He wept as He sent me back
"There is more" ho said "there is
sin."
I said "I shall miss the light
And friends will miss me they say."
And He answered "Choose tonight
If I am to miss you or they."
I took one look at the fields
Then turned my faco toward the town;
He said "My child do you yield?
Do you leave tho flowers for the
crown?"
I pleaded for time to he given;..
He said "Is it hard to decide?"
It will not seem hard in heaven
To havo followed the steps of your
guide."
Then into His hand went mine
And into my heart came He;
And I walk in a light divine
The path I had feared to sec.
Selected.

Take notice of the gradual but cer-
tain fade-out of Norton and Savage
since they no longer have the power
of the press behind them. Norton
has even gone so far as to drop her
major in journalism and Savage
might as well quit school.
By the way PENDER you might
do all right with the BOYS if you
would quit acting so silly and dont'
tell us you're not interested. '
Just a tip to the Freshman Foot-
ballers: You aren't near as smart as'
you think you nre! Freshmen why
don't you climb down out of that tree
and be one of the fellows around the
campus? No charge for advice!
Well what has happened to our
one-time famous "Sloppy Six"? We
know what happened to S. A. SCOTT
and WILKES but what happened to
the other four? By the way we do
not see why a swell girl like MARY
SUE would waste her time on
WILKES when other boys could show
a much better time. Come on MARY
SUE wake up!
ARTIE MAE CONNALLY is mak-
ing the mistake that most girls who
think they arc cuto usually make. She
is trying to play JENKINS and
SHAW at tho same time. JENKINS
so far has been left sucking but it
is our guess that CONNALLY will
be the one who is left soon. "
If MARY FRY would keep her loud
mouth shut for a while and stop that
nerve-wrecking giggling we might be
able to stand her shinning knees and
we would guarantee that MARY
would be much more pleasant company.
Library Stores
Newspaper Files
To provide room in tho library for
new shipments of books files of news-
papers sets of historical books and
a group of miscellaneous books hove
been stored in the Fine Arts building.
The removal of these books and
files has made possible more room on
the top floor of the library where
more books and files of newspapers
will be moved from downstairs in
order that tho new shipment can be
placed on shelves downstairs. .
Among tho files of newspapers
that are' being stored are: Washing-
ton Post Galveston Daily News Ama-
rlllo Daily News Sweetwater Report-
er Times Picayune Blanca y Negro;
Duplicate Copies of Congressional
Records and various sets of books
which will amount to approximately
250 books being removed from the li-
brary shelves.
Plans aro being formulated for all
reserve books to be moved up stairs
so that they can bo checked out more
conveniently by students.
So Thevj Say
Dear Editor:
'My righteous indignation has been
aroused to the breaking point refer-
ring to two week books being checked
out at tho library. Some students
take the liberty to check out books
not just ono'or two on a related sub-
ject but four or five keep them two
weeks and renew them for another
fortnight. Whether these students
study these books diligently is an un-
answered question nut I doubt it.
And the fact that bothers me is that
those particular books may be in con-
stant demand for reference as author-
itative material on their various sub-
jects yet only that one student who
"hogged the show" gets the informa-
tion the professors havo requested the
whole class to obtain.
Cnn't something oe done to 'prevail
upon those people to check out only
one of those books at a time since it
is obvious that they cannot read five
books at one and the same time? If
thjy would facts tho situation fairly
and broadminde'dly I feel that they
would derive more benefit from the
perusal of one book at a time and
would have the satisfaction of know-
ing that while they arc studying that
subject another student is also enjoy-
ing the privilege of at least looking at
n library book that will net him some
in format ion that he can give the in-
structor and thus show that he can
do research work when books are
available at the library.

Why is .Marion Vnughter rating

Frank has a low voice and a slow

of minding his own business. He
has been married three years to

henrt who is a junior in II-S l'
Incidcntly she thinks he's tops.

in the future he wants to do research and laboratory
work.
Sobby picture shows and Shirley Temple nre his

good housekeeper and looks especially fetching in
a ruffled pink apron so says Dolores. His favorite
pastime is reading most any kjnd of book and
poetry especially except that it puts him to sleep.
"Frank never gives me any trouble "says Coach.
"In fact I never have trouble with a 'married foot-
ball man."

We wonder how it feels to be two-
timed. Editor Clyde Crawford has
been stepping out with others lately
to do his plain and fancy courting.
Looks like wo have something here.
Since Billie Allen broke her engage-
ment with tho old flame back home
it seems that. Fred Wright is putting
the strongest bid for tho position.
'Tis rumored that Billie takes her
courting rather seriously so you may
be hooked Fred.
Lev Hudspeth was "pitchin' his
woo" at LaVcrne Deel the other eve-
ning and it looks like he scored a hit.
We wonder.
My motto says Dud Reed is "Love
them then leave them sadder but
wiser women." Well he has kept his
word so far this .ycar.and it appears
that Slime Beth Horn is next on his
leave 'em list.
Since "Sweetpea" King works in
the library at night she has become
rather efficient in establishing herself
as mediator for Andy and his Day

it does involve little sis. '

KALES COME HIGH
Flirt Figures
Hardin-Simmons is noted -for one
of the best art departments in the
South. The following which might
sound like figures from tho bureau
of vita) statistics will offer sufficient
proof of this standing.
The 100 residents of Mary Frances
hall apply 305000 sq. in. 30410 sq.
ft. 5.7 sq. miles 3048 acres almost
100 times the area of H-SU campus
in lipstick each year.
A very conservative estimate of the
time required to apply theso five
miles of beautification would be 12-
333 hours and 20 minutes 1028 days
and five minutes. This time invested
in some remunerative occupation at
the rate of 30c an hour would net
$3G90.00 each year.
Every man has his price. This is
tho price paid by MFH girls for you
eggs nbout the campus.
Romance on the rocks? Since Billy
Flcemnn has wended his way home-
ward tho field is left clear to Thcda

thorns in tho path for Flccman. Boys
she don't stay true to ono at a time.
Campus Oddities : Nortie Miller has been the cam-
pus mnilmun at Gettysburg college for over 35
years. He has walked 160000 miles around the
campus.
Romance still lives in the hearts
of numerous other couples and hope-
ful singles on the forty acres. We'll
try more next time but when you
gotta go you gotta go.

There is one group on this campus
that someone should put straight.
They seem to think that within their
little group or circle everything
moves. In case you haven't guessed
they are CLARINE MARSH RUTH
