IIEY'UE OUT THERE in Cnlifor-
of ti? would like to be. In fact ihcro
were plenty of students who eould
bnrely resists the temptation just to
climb nbonril the train Wednesday
ticket or no ticket.
Standing by the tracks with the
crowd was ltob Walker one of
Hnrdiu-Simnions' most loyal c.-
griddcrs and supporters. He predict-
ed a 28 to 7 win for the punchers.
And he's not often overly optimistic
either.
We hope he is right.
We'll bet the ordinary passengers
waiting for the train Wednesday night
were bewildeied at the mob of col-
legians scarcely realizing the case of
all the ciowd
Hut it would be fine if wo could be-
wilder 'em more often.
IE SENIOR CLASS has voted to
buy n movie projector as its 19!W
Rift.
It should be on hand within a few
weeks and shows ought to begin right
away. Value of the projector depends
on its judicious use.
If allowed to sit away in a dark
corner it might be one of the most
useless of gifts. Hut if it is only
used it will provide all types of
moving pictures at a cost that ulti-
mately will be only a fraction of
what commercial shows charge.
Of course it won't be in competition
with commercial theaters. The subject
matter handled will be generally dif-
ferent. ALL I'VE HE EN able to hear about
the Ferguson ball boys party was
compliments.
It speaks well of them. The event
was planned with the right mixtuie
of artistic skill in providing entertain-
ment and common sense in being rea-
sonable. More and better campus parties
and we'd like to ro-emphnsize the
fact that they must be entertaining
-AvlirHTrmueh to create a unity of
'feeling on the campus and u feeling
C pride and satisfaction ton-aril the
school.
There is no need denying that there
are many students in Hardin-Simmons
as in nny other school who really
aren't 100 per cent satisfied with the
institution. The right sort of parties
parties that don't get boresome will
help erase this feeling.
Hardin-Simmons doesn't have the
fraternal system of social life. If
democratic all-student partis can be
made PRACTICAL and ENTER-
TAINING the school will have a
much better form of social activity.
Hut with college people there must
lie SOME sort of partying plenty
regularly.
The thing to do is make this enter-
tainment of tho type that will appeal
to tho most students.
THE "SO THEY SAY" column this
week presents a wide array of in-
teresting student thoughts.
It is noticeable that practically
every person expressed himself as
having foremost in mind some con-
structive movement or project for
tlife campus.
Brnvo!
By constructive I don't intend to
say that to bo constructive one must
always stand for the old order. One
mny be vather radical and still be
constructive.
And as Is no doubt noticeable
from the policies of the Brand this
writer doesn't support the theory
of saying only sweet words.
To cuss n guy is not to Indicate that
you don't like him. It is often a sign

Seniors To Give
iMo vie Projector
As Class Present
Student Council Backs
Plans To Buy Machine
For General Usage
The 19.'!!) Senior class voted Wednes
day to donate a movie projector as its
gift for the year.
The class will pay at least $150
toward cost of the machine remainder
to be paid either by the class the stu-
dent council or next year's seniors.
The gift will be bought on ihe in
stallment plan in the name of the
student council. The student council
will underwrite the transaction.
The Senior finance committee is
planning several promotions to make
money for the gift. Assessment of
each senior with a stated amount to
give will be avoided.
I'he movie projector will be ordered
immediately so that it may bo in use
a large part of this school year.
Kent films are available from sev
eral sources at reasonable prices. It
is hoped that later the school will buy
a movie camera for use in connection
with the projector.

Somebody said that siimcoin' told him that he had heard someone else
say that he had been told for a fact that Gib Sandcfcr had said to some-
one on the campus that the reason he couldn't book the Cowboy Band for
an appearance in a certain Los Angeles theater while on the West Coast
was because that Sally Rand was already booked there.
And someone said that when Gib Sandcfcr heard this he was perfectly
frank in admitting that the theater manager should keep Sally on the pro-
gram rather than cancel her contract in favor of the Cowboy Band.
The above portrait which reveals no more from the top than from the
bottom in case you're thinking about turning this page upside down
represents Miss Rand in a frivolous moment during some recent court
maneuvers.

Boys' Hectic Departure For Coast
Brings Telephone Company Profits
By CAFFEY
s far as Ferguson Hall boys are
concerned the telephone company had
n profitable week.
Of the nineteen boys not including
Cowboy Hand members who headed
for the Cowboy-Lion game in Los An-
geles earlier this week most of them
had to call home for permission to
Ko.
Of the group only one was unsuc-
cessful. The situation grew when the boys
begun putting in long distance calls.
Tho group stood huddled around the
phone hardly breathing and staring
at the wall with a far away look in
their eyes.
They knew it would be tough to
explain wanting to go to Los An
geles by auto j why just like a bolt
from the sky. They would be driv-
ing continuously alternating at the
wheel.
As each call went through and one
of the home folk answered at the other
end the caller would pitch his strain-
ed voice into the mouthpiece and be-
gin explaining.
"Going to Los Angeles Yes by
car. Yes I know we're not used to
driving through mountains; not much
different from driving on tho plains
maybe. Everything will bo o k a y.
Classes? Oh classes probably won't
bo hold over tho week-end maybe;
we're- not doing much in class this
week anyhow. . . Sure everything'!!
be alright." And so went tho con-
versation. -

and .MURDOCH
Tho receiver would click and a pale
nervous boy would heave a sign ot
relief as lie slumped away from the
phone trying to reason out how it all
happened
One of the boys received a real
shock. When he asked his dad if he
could go with the group by auto his
father said no. But if he really want-
ed to go lie must go on the Cowboy
Special. . . .The boy was weak the
rest of the afternoon.

Lions In Ugly Mood for Game With
Punchers After 35-2 Loss Last Week
By BOB MURDOCH
Thirty of Coach Frank Kimbrough's Cowboy griddcrs along- with
sixty-odd fans including the famous Cowboy Band and Rex Felker's
white horse rolled into Los Angeles via the Reporter-News Cowboy
special train yesterday morning in time to see some of the "City of tho
Angels" before the Ranchers tangle with Loyola's Lions there this
alturncon.
Un route the Ranchers went through a stiff workout on the College
of Mines gridiron in El Paso during a two-hour stop-over there.
A group of cx-Tcxans and former H-SU students met the train and
were ho3ts for a breakfast.
Tho colorful Cowboy Band paraded through several of the city's
main thoroughfares exhibiting some of the color for which Hardin-
Simmons is famous.
lteports fioin tho west coast have it
that the i oaring Lions are in an ugly
mood for today's tilt. Not only are
they out to avenge last year's 7 to 0
defeat at the hands of the Cowboys
but Tenuis are just naturally on their
black list since Bullet Billy Patterson
and his Baylor Bear teammates scor-
ed more touchdowns on them last Fri-
day afternoon thaiwall previous oppo-
nents combined had managed this sea-
son. Until that .'15 to 2 upset the
Lion's goal line had been crossed only
four times.
The bleaks went against the Lions
in the Baylor game. Five passes were
intercepted and four fumbles were not
iTcoveicd.
Tho Lions also found that their
pass defense needed strengthening
and this week has been devoted to
building up that glaring weakness.
Despite Loyola's strong showing
until .the Baylor encounter the under-
(In) s if there be any will be Loyola's
Lions simply because of Bullit Billy's
feat on that memorable Armistice
Day.
The Cowboy-Lion taglo takes the
center of the stage in Los Angeles to-
day as USC and UCLA west coast
teams are idle this week-end.
Itetiirn trip to Abilene will begin
Saturday night with the train ar-
riving here Monday morning.
Coach Kimbrough indicated that
the stinting lineup would be the
same as in the Arizona State game.
