WHY NOT AN ALPHA CHI?
Every school has students. These students receive grades for the
subjects that they take. Some grades are better than others. For
this reason were honor rolls made. The names of these students who
have a certain rating according to the grades made by them are placed
on the honor roll. In most schools there is an honorary scholastic
society for students who prove their ability by reaching a certain
standard in their grades. This is an added incentive for student's work-
ing for better grades. In addition to furnishing an impetus there should
be some kind of an honor given to those students who have surpassed
their fellow class mates and have made grades worthy of honor.
It is a real honor to have been a Phi Beta Kappa. Every stu-
dent who has attended the University and received such an honor is
looked up to not only by his fellow students but by all those people
with whom he comes In contact. It marks one as having made an
achievement.
Only students who have attended the University however have
an opportunity of receiving this honor. On the other hand there is a
similar organization for scholastic honorary achievement established
for the other schools. Most of the schools of the Texas Conference
other similar colleges of approximately the size and rating of Daniel
Baker have a chapter of Alpha Chi in their student organizations. But
Daniel Baker has no honorary society on the campus. True there is
the honor roll and there one may receive the highest honor that may
be achieved scholastically. Why not have some organization for the
purpose of honoring the highest ten per cent of the student body?
If you think that such an organization would be an asset to
Daniel Baker talk it up and let us see if it will not be possible to form
a chapter of the Alpha Chi on Daniel Baker's campus.
WRITE THAT LETTER!
How long has it been since you have written a letter home? Do
you write back to the folks at least once each week? Do you keep in
touch with them in order that they may know of your activities?
You know of course that they are thinking of you always. You
know that in the conversations around the table at rrteal time or in
front of the fire in the evenings is generally in some way connected
with you with the things that you are doing with what you some day
want to be. The family is tremendously interested in what you are
doing since you have seemingly left the family circle to go off to
school.
Often in the numerous events transpiring in each day of your
school life it seems that there is so much to be done that you are left
no time in which to write to the family. If there is just a little time
for letter writing it must be to some friend because the family will
understand how busy you have been. But always they are waiting.
Perhaps you feel that they expect too many letters they don't
realize how much you have to do. There are athletic activities in which
you must have a part or lend your support there is club life which
takes no little time; there are committee meetings to attend; you must
have a few dates and occasionally a fellow must study a bit. That
leaves almost no time at all for correspondence with the home folks.
But remember that it is they who have made it possible for you
to go to school. You are their son or daughter and they want to know
what you are doing all of the time. And it is their right.
So when you think that a letter should be written but that
there is just not quite time enough think of the disappointment that
will be on her face in the morning when she finds an empty mail box

STUFF FROM THE SCREEN
How a Jitterburg is born What
puts the jitters in "Jitterbugs" is
demonstrated by Dick Powell for a
scene in "Always Leave Them
Laughing."
The Warner Bros star is sit-
ting at a table in a night club sip-
ping a potent rum concoction Dick
supposedly has had several drinks
for the scene. Then Allen Jenkins
slips under the table and gives
Dick a hot-foot by inserting light-
ed matches in the sole of his shoe.
At the same moment Ann Sheri-
dan accidently scorches Dick's
finger with a cigarette. Dick
jumps out of his chair upsetting
his drink. The ice drops into his
trousers. He finds himself out on
the floor in the midst of a jitter
bug contest and teamed with an
unattached blonde.
He howls shakes his scorched
finger stomps his hot foot writhes
and twists his body to rid himelf
of the ice. Of course he and the
blonde win the jitterbug contest
and another jitterbug was born.
Bette Davis' locks are more than
Sampson's. Five inches cut from
the Warner stars' coiffure will net
charity about $1000. Movie fans
have been imploring stars for locks
of their hair will now get a chance
to acquire such keepsakes. Thou-
sands of film star's curls including
Miss Davis' all done up neat In
souvenir packages will be placed
on sale at the World's Fair in San
Francisco. Masculine stars also
will provide the necessary clip-
pings and every souvenir will be
authentic.

8TEREOTYPED PERSONALITY
"Why don't we get joy out of living? Because we've sold our
birthright of simple spontaneous sincere emotion for a handful of
fashionable feathers and flapdoodle."
These words are rather startling yet there is so much truth in
them. Read them again "we've sold our birthright of simple emo-
tion.'' At first those words may seem queer and you may question
their reason. But how often do you let go to a spontaneous emotion?
Do you use words that are yours and of your own originality or do you
copy those witty sayings that are used over and over again by some-
one else?
Think of your clothes Do you dare to wear something that is
different or must you conform to the fashion that is in vogue this
season? If you have designed some very unusual creation do you
hesitate to wear it? Do you ever think of a new way of spending
your leisure hours or do you do the same thing over and over again
until you are bored with the whole situation? Until you "sell your
birthright? Until you become a steretyped personality?
So often people say "I like that man he is so individualistic
that he is intensely interesting." "That lady has so much more origi-
nality in her personality that I just enjoy being around her because she
is so different." Yet how many people do you know who would fit
this description? And how would you like to be known as a person
of this type?
Designers and creators object to one's being called a type they
say that everyone is different he is an individual True everyone
should be but how many really are
Why don't you cease being a reprint of ideas that have been
handed to you? Why don't you dare to present those-ideas of yours
which you think sound radical? Why don't you have some ingenuity
of your own and be unafraid to do "some of these things you have
bean wanting to do for so long? Then with what you "have whjn you
have stopped being someone else and start being yourself you can
really enjoy living.

He was rather shy and after
she had thrown her arms around
him for bringing her a bouquet
he stood up and started to leave.
"I'm sorry if I've offended you"
she said.
"No offense" replied the other.
