l THE CALDWELL GIFT l
The facultVi student body and friends
of Simmons College are rejoicing over the
fact that oilc of our wealthy oil friends
has made a gift of one hundred thousand
dollars to the institution. In the first
place the gift haS conic nt an opportune
time. The present economic depression
has caused a suspension of the building
program not only of Simmons College
but of practically every other denomiua-
tional school in the state. This building
program had come in a Critical time in
the history of Simmons College. It came
in a time when every' nook and corner of
the college Was crowded with students.
The time has come in the history of Sim-
mops College that the proper aid must be
found whereby the building program and
endowment can-keep pace with the growtli
in students..
THELMA GIVEN
J
Thelma Given' is rightly named she is
a true rhapsody. She !s furthermore a
type she is a vital a live personality she
is a gypsy- one sce3 broad open space
and feels the" "wind blowing free as she
plays. And such playing such 'technique
Youth and youth's fire are hers.
She conquers by the sheer artistry of
her playing. She is serious masterly aw'
accurate never sentimental; but her plu-
ing possesses the daintiness the piquanc
that only a woman could employ.
Her tones arc rich full and sweet par-
ticularly in the lower register. Her high
tones are whispers. bt wlrspers that are
blear and far reaching. -
Miss Ghcns' interpretation of Greig's
Sonata was marvelous. A thing of moods
she met each one perfectly a tremulous
whispering characterized the tones Sn the
first movement. A quality which reminds
of Kreisler. To the piece as a whole she
brought fine dramatic feeling and color.
D-bussy's "In a Boat" and "A Song of
India" by Ramskyand Korasko were
beautiful. "The Mute" is but an added
benty in Miss Given's hands.
She brings to her work a sweet gra-
ciousness and naivete that lias an irre-
sistable appeal. This young artist will
grow fine the Gods have decreed.

"THE DAUGHTER
OF A DE SERT"
Tk. nn.lila rtf ttiA na.rl' IB tllf
name of a very pleasing four act drama '
which was given by the College players in
the auditorium of the Administration
Building Friday evening Jan. 14 Qhite
a large crowd saw the play and generously
applauded.
The little desert flower Miss Richards
by her splendid appearance proved that
.deserts are not .at all unpleasant but quite
bearable. Her gracefulness of bearing and
charm of sneech won her audience and
made them very envious of the stalwart!
hero. Mr. JJurton JUIiot who ptayea oppo-
site her.
The love affair of the two pirnciples was
reflected in a ' similar affair between a
young Lochfnvar of the. West played by j
Mr. William Morris .and the boarding
school chum of the heroine played by
Mrs. Ollie James. Their youthful enthu.
Una over their love for each- other occa'
9kwd:wl'WI)f.'V--l'K8i1d8"?j the
footlights .The affair between the old na-
tive of the desert played by Russell Lacy
and his fair vis-a-vis of custard pie .fame
plajpd by Mits Irvin added milch to the
comical side 'of the action.
Tho( greaser Silvcro (Mr. John Cox) so
well imitated our near black neighbors
from' the south that few in the audience
recognized him until the play was Ikv
over. Several in the audience hissed h'
but that is exactly what every good villair
accomplishes or wishcstp accomplish. Mis-
Patton as White Bird reversed the famot"
aphorism that a "good Indian is a dead
one" by turning out to be a really go
one ill the play and out. Bucll Irvin
manager of the players and sheriff in the
story agreeably surprised the audience b
turning out to be a pretty good fellow and
not the noisy braggart he appeared Ic-
on the start.
Harrison Pool Alvis and Mahon as-'
sistcd in the scene depicting a bar room
'II of them looked perfectly natur
their surroundings. Pool as a dope fiend
did especially well.
Comedy skits were given for the enter-i-Miimcnt
of the audience between the acts.
Mr. Wilson Patton as the rube entertainer
got much applause. He also played the
part of the "Honest Gambler" in the drama
mid the part of the man at the bat in the
"baseball game." After the fire alarm
rang that broke up the game Bill Morr
one of the players ran out on the stage
with a bucket just after the fire was out.
Not needing the water which he said was
in .the bucket he threw it towards the au-
dience. Many of them ducked under the
scats to escape the rice that was in the
bucket.
The performance in the chapel Frhh
is the ninth performance" of the
gien bv the players. Other towns where
tle plav has been shown are Mareland
Winters. Lawn Coldsboro Crossplains
Oplin. Merkle and Anson. The plays have
been held in the various towns according
to the manager more for the fun of it tlur
;iii thing else most of the funds collected
going for the benefit of the school itself.
The manager Mr. Irvin says that the
men of the cast arc contemplating putting
on a one act farce entitled the "Battle i
Boiling Bones" an incident of the I i '
wir depicting negro life on the front.

Kollege Komments
calamiu is amiroachiniz our beloved
college for if like unto Sampson (a new
waj of spelling) "our strength lies in oui
Iriir I'efor'1 long we will all be walking
dishclothe The Lasso.
Just what The Lasso means bv the last
clause is more than K. K.. with all hi
ingenuit) and piercing mentalit) can un-
derstand. But K. K. is of the masculine
gender and can certainly be ecued fur
being absolutely ignorant of the slang
expressions of the opposite sex. K. K.
has a lot of Mjings with a hidden mean-
ing that could not be understood ! th
I p.n writer if she should study them f-
a week. But as that may be a greater
truth was neer told and sworn to as tiiat
in the Laso. The girls might not lose
their strength or anything like tint but
for the love of Jehoshophat' K. K. can't
understand the changes that undergo or
go under a woman And seeing a girl
with bobbed hair always made K. K. stop
and think. He always did like CHORl'c
girls.
There again comes to K. K.'s notice a
quetion that is placed up ) the student
body for solution. K. K. is forced to ad-
mit ihat even though he is excellent at
offering' solutions to different problems lit-
is at his wits end in the present case. K. K.
was confronted the other day with the
query as- to huw a girl in Simmons could
"cure the Literary S. At fust K. K.
thought the question was -a silly one and
suggested that the girl work or it but it
was quicklv impressed upon him that
such would not secure it. He was in-
formed that even though a girl be of
greater ability than any boy and should
possibility for her to receive the coveted
reward. And such is veritably true. No
matter how a girl works she is raiely
chosen for anything except secretaryships
mid the president uf lh'5 g'rU' society.
Only a chance of 'uciiuhiinice is it when
she will succeed in filling one ol the major
offices that is necn.iry for the winn-ng of
the Literary S. Nut'irn'ly K. K could not
answer that qupnion. There aie only two
fejsible answers -nd cert.nniy ihey would
never be accepted. There must be lio dis-
crimination between the two sexe- in the
awarding of the nuior of fires. A girl
should have as much right to be president
of the Students' Assoc'ulion is a man or
the editorship of any of the college publi-
cations for that milter. But instantly
such is objectionable to evvry man and the
olief method is suggested. The lequire-
ments for 'the awarding uf the letter to a
girl must be different from that of the
regular requirements. If justice s done
the students of Simmons nuot choose be-
tween the two.
What the Staff Gets
The Signal is a great edition;
The college gets the fame;
The printer gets the money
And the staff gets the blame.
No comments necessary Ouchita Sig-
nal. Never was eraver truth stated. K K. is
fully in sympathy with the gentle writer
that dared the snarls and curses of his
classmates and wrote and printed tne .arti
cle in question But if anyone should call
t)ie writer's hand K. J does np pace
himself under any obligation whate.y?r to
help compromise the dispute. In such a'
case he merely becomes on- Interested by-
stander without sppken prejudices even
though 'he knows the truth of tho state-
ment What a pity that no more editors
have courage to come forth with such 'art
harangue.
