"There is no frigate like a book to take us lands away This traverse may the poorest take without oppress of toil;
how frugal is the chariot that bears a human soul." Emily Dickenson.
Our Guests
NEXT Saturday April 29 H-SU will be host to 3000
or more high school seniors from schools of the en-
tire area of West Texas.
Each one of these visiting seniors is n prospective stu-
dent for our university. Opinions voiced by these visit-
ors in their respective home localities concerning this
institution will be determined by this one day so it is the
responsibility of every H-SU student to see that a favor-
able Impression is implanted upon theso who nro to bo
our guests.
Every student should accept as a personal lesponsi-
blllty the entertainment of those who come to our
campus. The apparent insignificant courtesies and con-
siderations are the most noticeable and permanent.
These visiting young me nand women are coming to our
campus becauso'thcy hayo been assured a very cordial
welcome and an enjoyable day while here. Tho realiza-
tion of such rightful expectations depends solely upon
each of you Hardin-Simmons students.
Sook.ReMev Campus Camera
Time To Act
"The desirability of rate structures providing reason-
able uniform rates on like articles which arc on may
be produced in different sections of tho country from
such sections to common markets is not open to serious
question . . . Maintenance of a territorial difference in
rate levels tends to prevent nation-wide development of
industry and is not conducive to tho promotion of the
best interests of the carriers as a whole or the country
as a whole."
Such an attitude as reflected in this statement by
ommissioner ec or mo inicrsinic commerce vommis-
jMT"inlHe&.tes that now is an opportune time to file n
""-. iw case;wnn mai commission aimeu ai correcting rate ws-
jwnctjmjnajon betwecn territories as exists under the un-
equal zone system fo rate making. This action can bo
taken by the railroad commission and the Attorney Gen-
eral's department only if the neccssnry appropriation is
made by the legislature. Tho West Texas Chamber of
Commerce which has urged such an appropriation may
be commended for its action as sponsor of tho campaign
for rate revision.
Should the ICC be induced to establish a level of
freight rates in Texas comparable to existing rates in
the North and East there would result an annual saving
to Texas industry estimated at approximately $500000-
000. Expenditure of a few thousand dollars in an effort
to effect this vast saving is a sound investment. T. M.
H-SU's Newest Sport
For many years tho students of Hardin-Simmons have
been known as Cowboys and Cowgirls. Whether they
were drugstore cowboys and cowgirls or real ones was
not known.
A movement has been started on the campus to make
real cowboys and cowgirls out of H-SU students. A rid-
ing academy has been started so that students may spend
their leisure time in true western style horseback riding.
Some are old hands at the sport but others are new
as can readily be seen.
Soon visitors to the campus in the future may find
that Hardin-Sjmmons students nro really cowboys and
cowgirls and this new sport will give the campus the
needed western atmosphere.

DISPUTED PASSAGE.
LLOYD C. DOUGLAS
lly JEANKLL GREEN
Lloyd C. Douglas is the author of
such outstanding books as Magnifi-
cent Obsession White Banners Green
Light Homo for Christmas Precious
Jeopardy and Forgive Us Our Tres-
passes. If you'vo read any of tho
nbove books and enjoyed them then
you must read his latest book Disput-
ed Passage.
Tho characters: Doctor Milton
(Tubby) Forrester is a famous sur-
geon and instructor of anatomy in
medical college. He is intensely dis-
liked by nil his students having caused
many to leave before their graduation
becnusc of his sarcasm and continu-
ous heckling. Despite his many per-
sonal traits that they disliked they
greatly admired and respected his in-
tellect. The medical students' great-
est desire is to graduate under "Tub-
by" Forrester.
Jack Wesley Bcaven a young stu-
dent very blonde and good looking
aroused tho anger of Dr. Forrester
because of his apparent boredom as
Dr. Forrester's attempts at funny re-
marks. Dr. Bill Cunningham a country doc-
tor loved by nil who camo in contact
with him. His philosophy of life is
one worth remembering.
Lan Ying (meaning English Orchid)
was an English girl brought up in
China by n wealthy Chinese merchant
who wns befriended by her father.
The three doctors arc alike in their
desire to aid humanity yet conflict
greatly in the light with which they
view their profession.
The story is built around Jack
Wesley's graduation and his attempt
to win a successful career without
losing those things which make life
worth living. He is opposed by
"Tubby" Forrester helped by Dr.
Cunningham and inspired by Lan
Ying whose real name is nudrey.
The human element is felt through-
out the book. It is very interesting
to note how Lan Ying's gentle wis-
dom upsets young Dr. Beaven's stern
self-discipline and "Tubby" Forres-
ter's conception of what a doctor's life
should be like.

After Albania What?
Albania a country that thought it had a friend in
Italy was surprised when Fascists troops of Mussolini
began occupying the little democracy.
For years Italy and Albania have been very friendly.
Italy has loaned funds to Albania at almost every request-and
the total amount that the little democracy
has received from Mussolini was about $33000000.
Albania has used this money to improve their coun-
try for their citizens to make it a better place to live.
They have built roads and made numerous improvements.
One of the roads that they built was tho one on which
the Queen and her infant son fled to Greece to get away
from tho danger which might have readied the capital
city.
Now that Mussolini has taken over tho little country
the question is will he continue on to Greece? V.-R.
Value Counts Not Degrees
The Nation soon may expect practically 100 per cent
of its youths up to 18 to remain in school according to
Dr. Homer P. Rniney newly appointed president of the
University of Texas.
Texas however has a long wny to go before this con-
dition is reached. On present standards one-half of the
youths of Texas are eligible for college but at present
two-thjrds of the 18-year-olds and one-half of the 17-year-olds
are not in school.
Since the g.rp between school and employment is wid-
ening and competition for jobs is increasingly keener
young people arc finding it to their advantage to remain
in high school and college for a longer peiiod than in
previous years.
Unlike it was in "tho good old days" the mere fact
that "I have a college degree" carries little weight in
employment seeking.
No one is paid more than ho is actually worth al-
though some persons receive inciedibly large snlaries.
Tho more training and general knowledge a person has
the greater is his value. What really counts is value
after the job is landed. It. M.
Use Your Judgment
STUDENTS do you realize that election time is draw-
ing near? Regardless of whether you had thought
about it or not it is time to be thinking about it. Theso
elections are perhaps the most important things that
take place at any time during the year and they should
be treated with earnestness and sincerity. Your attltudo
when you go to the polls should bo one of trying to select
the very best person that you can to fit tho ob. When
you 'mark an X by a candldjjto's name you should feel
in your heart that you are using your very best judg-
ment and you think he will bo competent to do his work
well. Everyone not just a few but everyono should como
out for theso elections and have a voice in what's going
on. We do not want the school to.be run by the minority.
So for your good and for the good of the school when
the election Is announced bo there and vote with an un-
biased unprejudiced mind.
Fifteen Years Ago
The Kolleg Siikus talk of the Sim-
mons student body for the past few
days became a reality when the stu-
dent general assembly voted to carry
out plans as suggested by the senior
class. This sirkus will be the final

of representatives from the three Abi-
lene colleges McMurry A. C. C and
Hardin-Simmons.
The band of the Royal Belgian
Guards proved one of the most popu-
lar attractions of the year with a
huge audience respnuse.
Tho first annual West Texan High

The Speech Department of Hardin-
Simmons presents Miss Jeanctte Pat-
terson in her senior speech recital.
Miss Patterson will read "Candida"
by George Bernard Shaw.
This is what took placo in the Fine
Arts Auditorium on Thursday eve-
ning April 20. This short sandy head
is a friend of everyone on the campus
of Hardin-Simmons University. She
is a personality that will be remem-
bered for years on the campus.
Jeanctte is
a n Abilene
product fin-
ishing from
Abilene High
School in
1935. During
her second
year on the
campus she
was elected
to member-
ship of the
Cowgirls.
This year Patterson is a member of
Alpha Psi Omega president of the
Players Club and a member of Who's
Who. She was also selected as a
member of Alpha Chi scholarship so-
ciety. During her stay on the campus
she has played leading roles in most
of the major productions including
"Three Cornered Moon" "Queen's
Husband" "and many minor produc-
tions. Jeanettc was third in the race
for senior fnvoritc this year.
Miss Patterson is a speech major
in the University and will receive her
degree in June.
To this number one person on our
campus we bestow the honor of wear-
ing the Silk Bandana for this week.
Misses Frances Osborne Bobbie

U. scholarship students at Hardin-
Simmons appeared in a program at
South Side Church Abilene at the
Sunday evening service.
Student preachers from Hardin-
Simmons are conducting revival ser-
vices at the Brick Plant Mission Abi-
lene under the direction of Rev.
James Alexander city missionary.
Services are to continue for ten days
beginning April 18 and there will be
a different preacher each evening.
One day a howling mob had started
to stone a woman taken in adustery.
The Master was writing in the sand.
He paused a moment said: "Whoso-
ever is without sin among you throw
the first stone." Wrote again in the
sand nnd looked up . . . the crowd had
fled away.
Our Lord taught a gospel of vision.
His teaching dealt with great trans-
forming truths not with trivials. He
said "I am the way the truth and
the life."
By his action in the above cited
case he did not put a stamp of ap-
proval upon adultery but he instead
of upbraiding the woman for her sins
forgave them and gave her a noble
purposo to live for.
So many of us as Christians are
more interested in the problems of
sins than we are with the problem of
sin. Sins are actions of a being and
can only be remedied by the correction
of the nature of sin from which they
spring. It is not our purpose as
Christian workers to fight sins but
to fight with the blood of Christ nnd
the grace of God SIN. If the sin ques-
tion is settled by the applied blood of
Christ and the love of Christ is es-
tablished in the heart of a man sins
though they will not be completely
obviated even in the best life in the
world will be minimized.
Christ canie to save the world from
sin ... to save men from the penalty
the power and finally by the trans-
formation of the life in resurrection
power to save men from the very
presence of sin.
Once a doctor was asked says R.
G. Lee how he stood all the suffering
that he saw daily . . . men suffering
intense agony of disease. He replied
that he looked at disease from the
curative standpoint. We need to look
at the mistakes of others not to con-
demn but from the curative stand-
point ... to point them to Christ
whose blood will erase sin from the
life.

So Thei Say .......
By JOHN EARL BOUNDS
Discourtesies shown an eminent
artist on our campus last week and
undue criticism after the perform-
ance reflects in our opinion tho shal-
lowness of theso cads.
Dr. E. B Atwood of Hardin-Simmons
preached Sunday for Pastor
Clyde Jackson at Caps. Rev. Jack-
son is engaged in a revival at Sherman.
Rev. Bill Marshall and Dexter Rid-
dlo are conducting a young people's
revival this week with Rev. J. I. Greg-
ory and Highland Heights Church
Wichita Fulls.
A new fad has swept the eastern
universities swallowing live gold
fish. The record is 89 at one sitting.
Here's what Hardin-Simmonsites
think about the idea.
Mary Beth Johnson: I think it is a
very absurd idea and I hope it doesn't
invade this campus
John D. Francis: We might as well
start swallowing gold fish around
here we have to swallow everything
else.
Royce Eiland: Bay be O K. where
"suckers" are few but hero well
they would have difficulty finding
enough fish might have a limit
though like two to a customer.
Bill Ford: If the East likes gold-
fish to swallow let it be but I think
it is a crazy idea.
Bob Cowsar: Fish are all right I
suppose if they are cooked but of
those thut aren't I don't like the
smell. '
Owen Goodnight: I think it is all
right if they wish to do that but me
I don't care for any.
Chas. McClure; All I can say is that
it takes guts to handle a situation
like that
Tex Allen: While they are starting
new fads like eating fish etc. why
don't we get original and start eat-
ing "Stool Pigeons?" With all of our
species we could supply the entire
U. S. and never miss them. Even
Gib could capitalize a little on them.
Ralph Beard: LISTEN my little
puddlcduck I am for anything that
will start some interest' on the campus.
This school is just waltzing around
saving funeral expense.
"Bill Amo": The fad's O. K.
Something new has to be started over
the drab winter period so it might
just as well be swallowing gold fish.
That late fad in California of a guy
trying to kiss twenty babes on the city
streets in thirty minutes is better
though. Don't you think so fellows T
J. B. Maag: It's a crazy idea but
let her come around here because we
have a lot of crazy folks that would
take it on.
Marion Hart: Eating a few goldfish
won't hurt anybody. A new recrea-
tion wouldn't hurt this school any. It
might encourage the school to hurry
up and open the swimming pool to see
if the fish had any effect on the eat-
er. Bring 'em on.

KINSHIP
Wliile Master Mind was contemplating man
Ho must have held that bit of yielding clny
With loving fingers following tho plan
Laid out by Spirit for that natal day.
I like to think that God before Ho pressed
The moist earth into the shape of mo
First looked around Him scraping up the best
Of cool damp soil to woik upon His knee.
God surely loved the smell and touch of earth
To fashion man of it. He must have known
Its elemental value nnd the wortli
Of simplo things that make tho flesh and bone.
Were this not true how else could I exrlnin
My love for new-turned furrows after rain ?

Students Predict No War
WHEN naked this question "In your opinion will the
United States enter a world conflict within the next
twelve months?" the majority of students on Sam Hous-
ton campus who were interviewed answcrcd"N01" Many
reserved judgment nnd a relatively small group an-
swered in the affirmative.
Because it is being nnswored variously by Americans
economists historians journalists grocers farmers
munitions makers bootblacks men in every wnlk of life
tho question is pertinent today.
The diplomatic policies of our Department of State
are especially significant to college students because
when war comes as we are told it inevitably will come
the moral chaos ntteudant upon wnr the physical de-
generacy which follows in the wake of war and the eco-
nomic disorder occasioned by war will strike down our
generation.
Everyone agrees upon the horror of tho prospect of
war but it takes such a cross-section poll as the one
just reported to point out thnt in these days of rapidly
moving events the average American refuses to become
alarmed about the mere invasion of sovereign though
helpless nations.
If student opinion on the Sam Houston campus re-
flects the opinion of the people as n whole we will not
be fighting battles for someone else again soon. The
Houstoninn.
Open Qorum
Dear Editor:
We had n Founders Day program this week. It set
me to thinking that perhaps the life span of one man is
inadequate to realize that person's ambitions. Wo could
all spend our time very profitably if wo would begin
thinking how we could improve our University.
The paved roads are going to help immensely. I was
day dreaming the other day and I saw a new girls' dormi-
tory tnke shape 'just south and west of Mary Francis. I
got to looking around the campus and thought how nice
it would be If we had a new and adequate library. The
cafeteria isn't quite large enough cither.
If our school grows and who doesn't want to seo it do
that we arc going to need a new dorm for men. We are
in great need of a new gymnasium that will house a
swimming pool basketball courts and gymnasium equip-
ment. And it would be nice to come back to H-SU some
day and go to chnpcl in a beautiful and spacious hall
that housed a good pipe organ.
You know if "Proxy" could pray and dream our pres-
ent school out of n mosquito ridden area and make it the
school it is now I wonder how much a thousand mis-
sionary minded students could do to make H-SU one of
the gieatcst universities in the Southwest.
We could bo loynl we could work for its interests we
could pray for God's continued blessings and surely wo
could give and seek to find others who would give to its
ongoing. The present plan of taking out insurance with
tho iden in mind of endowing the school is a practical
plan and one worthy our consideration.
Let us all get a vision of what we can help H-SU be
come nnd I think "Prexy" would like that moro
he would u large donation. Byron Fletcher.
