Well Coeds seems like the old
cage season with the accompanying
Vaplay of purple and gold under-
wear haa really got underway. Three
Whole zanes this week and how did
' you like missing the show to see
those Cowhands smother the Okla
homa teachers Saturday night?
Yes Sir tho old Cowhand basket-
ball lasso seems to bo working right
well now after n somewhat unopto-
mistic start against tho Texas U.
Longhorns. But just remember the
holidays were still on and tho lads

Began to look hopeless for awhile
for the Stowc's and etc Just as if
she might have been dctourcd over
by Midlothian.
We had a little shake-up at Fer-
guson this week the indication of
which is that Slime Prcxy Ycarby is
somewhat exclusive and of good
company. Wonder if ho feels that
way about any more of his class-
mates who were good enough to
elect him as their leader last Sep-
tember when he looked like a good
prospect for a swell sport?
Prof. Ribble states that plans are
already being formulated for the
junior-senior banquet which will be
held sometime within the next five
months. At least formulated to the
extent that if some certain ones of
the boys want dates with certain ones
of the girls meaning one case in
particular they had better get busy.
Right now... Today.
The turtle neck sweaters seem to
be qulto the go this week amongst
the boys especially black. Not black
boys black sweaters. Murdock and
Jud are two of the principal indulg-
ent and the 'result in appearance is
quite obvious after wo tell you that
Murdock was approached from the
rear and greeted: "Hello Father
Murdock." No he's not going to be
a priest eh girls? .
This is not an essay on turtle
neck sweaters but we can't escape
wondering If the guy that invented
them ever wore a shirt and washed
his neck BEFORE his great discov-
ery. Irene Annie has moved down
amongst us that is to the first
floor of Mary Frances. We can't
know whether it is to bo more ac-
cessible or just to bo near the crowd.

It seems that McCurdy is really
going In for an education (literary)
this term. He was seen by three
people making an eight o'clock class
ONCE this week.

Don't think we are putting this
here because we couldn't think of
a wisecrack but turn over to pages
two three and four and read the

If you remember the old gag about
clothes making the man think this
over: "The man makes the money
with which the woman makes him
buy the clothes which she makes him
wear to make him."

sionary for tho southern Baptist con-

address In chapel Wednesday morn-
ing treating his work among the
Jews of tho South over n twelve
year period in this work.
"I am an Austrian by birth" he
stated. "A Jew by accident an
American by choice a Baptist by con-
viction and a Christian by tho graco
of God."
Rev. Gartcnhaus' father is a pres-
ent a rabbi in Jerusalem.
Ho described his early lifo in an
Austrian city as tho son of a strict
rabbi father how he later came to
America "the land of gold" and
how ho was educated at the Baptist
Theological seminary Louisville Ky.
and tho Moody Biblo institute Chica-
go. In speaking of his early education
in his European home Rev. Gartcn-
haus said: "American boys and girls
who go to school fivo days a week
with six hours a day do not realize
what confining educational obliga-
tions are. I spent nine ten and
even twelvo hours a day six days a
week and twelvo months in tho year
in the classroom."

Sergei Rachmaninoff tho great
composer-pianist whoso C-Sharp
Minor Prelude has been tho most
pounced-upon and exploited bit of
music in tho whole amateur reper-
toire is perfectly willing to let tho

as he chooses.
Rachmaninoff who will make his

mons University January 20 be-
lieves that a composer has a defin-
ite feeling as to how any of his
compositions should be played. "I
know just how I would play them

tho great player.
"I indicate my own feelings about
tempo phrasing and dynamic shad-
ing in tho music itself and this is
tho outline of my conception. But
somo great pianist may play my
pieces with many differences of de-
tail with shadings that I might not
use myself; and yet his conception
of tho piece as a whole will never
bo wrong because his good tasto and
musical instinct would guard against
it. It Is most interesting at times to
