DIAL LIGHTS
BY NICK NAX
Well It seems as if Nick hadn't
been In his own stall for a year at
least while In reality It has only been
one time. Nick was surprised to find
that there was a Nick Jr. scurrying
about the campus but little Nickle
did a bang up job. Nick Is liable to
turn up missing on this here news
agency yet If other people keep writ-
ing his column. There were several
mistakes In little Nick's column which
he assures Nick were the fault of the
compositor and having seen Little
Nick's copy Nick is Inclined to
believe that the mistakes were NOT
Little Nick's fault. According to the
copy that Little Nick handed Nick to
look over Little Nick KNEW whose
orchestra had what theme muslo.
Here is the real way those should have
been numbered.
Jan Garber "My Dear."
Wayne King "The Waltz You Sav-
ed for Me."
Henry Busse "Hot Lips."
Horace Heldt "I'll Love You in My
Dreams."
Joe Relchman "Little Thoughts."
Don Bestor "Linger Awhile."
Richard Hlmber (Nick thought
this was "It isn't Fair" but Little
Nick said that the name of the theme
is "Falling In Love With You." Nick
will check up on this one.)
Fiankie Masters "A Sweet Dream
of You."
Ted Fio Rita (here Is another ques-
tion in the spelling of this man's last
name) Rio Rita.
There is the revised list and that
one is correct as Little Nick said he
turned it in. At any rate it Is cor-
rect. Nick thinks that Little Nick should
have left the Big Broadcast of 1938
off the must see list but maybe Nick
is just getting Fidlerlsh.
No matter what Chick Webb does
in the way of winning contests Nick
does not care for the low jive that he
puts out. Benny Goodman never fails
to miss a chance for syncopation and
he Is smooth too never going in for
"gut bucket" socks.
Plenty of the youngsters seem to
think that since the recent ascendency
of "Loch Lomond" as a super swing
ditty it is a new popular selection.
It Is popular but it isn't new. It is
an old Scotch ballad that is a push-
over for syncopation hence It gets
"swung". Ella Logan a little girl
who could make the "Casmirl Song"
sound like "Minnie the Moocher" was
responsible for the bringing out of
this ditty.
Nick's private opinion and probab-
ly Goodman's too Is that Benny Good-
man has lost the other half of his
swing band now that Gene Krupa is
gone. Nick's hope now is that Krupa
will not go in for a small jam band
when he organizes his. The showman
that Krupa is won't go in for that
stuff however Nick feels sure I
hope I hope.
Nick is sorry to see Dick Powell
back out of his Hollywood spot sim-
ply because some cluck headed sponsor
didn't give him a show to emcee. The
program was too varied (Nick never
thought that would be possible before)
and the scripts were not sock mater-
ial. Tough.
Five years ago Phil Harris wrote
"My Galveston Gal" and sent It to the
publishers. It had little appeal na-
turally enough and eventually Harris
forgot about it. A few weeks ago he
got his first royalty check five years
of sales of this collossal ditty netted
him precisely $2.32. He sang the song
that night to celebrate!
Michel Edwards who wrote "Once
in a While" was once a violinist In the
Cincinnattl Symphony. He is also a
pianist organist and flutist of pro-
fessional calibre. An unbelievable
large number of pop writers have long
years of classical and professional ex-
perience behind them. Some may say
they have succumbed to that old de-
mon "Jive." Nick says they are Just
smart enough to know where the filthy
lucre lies. If ignorant Jamsters can
write successful pop songs why should
not the pros step in on their cut. They
can write the smooth sophisticated
type and balance the cats.
Nick has always maintained that
there Is a trace of corn In the best of
us else why the ascendency of "The
Old Apple Tree?"
That ought to be about enough for
now. Next week Nick will again be
shoved out of his stall so see you I
don't know when. Call again.

Hollywood Is Not
Trying To Portray
College Life
By Raoul Walsh
(Director of more than 100 success-
ful motion pictures 'and now under
contract to Paramount.)
The most amazing and one of the
most amusing things about Hollywood
college pictures is the number of per-
sons who think that Hollywood Is at-
tempting a serious portrayal of col-
lege life.
Even the college students at times
wax indignant at things they consider
a gross misrepresentation of the col-
legian. Yet these same people never get
Indignant or protest against the por-
trayal of college life in the college
humor magazines.
So there is really a defense of the
movie version of college life.
In the first place Hollywood is In
the business of providing entertain-
ment. That was the fundamental
Idea when we made "College Swing."
Hollywood is full of college men. Most
of the produceis ate college men;
many of the directors are; and many
of the actors are college men.
John Payne one of the featured
players in "College Swing" Is fiom
Columbia University; Gladys George
who plays opposite him is from Wit
tenberg College; Jackie Coogan is
from the University of Southern Cali-
fornia and also attended Santa Clara
University; Albert Lew in one of Par-
amount's foiemost producets Is a Phi
Beta Kappa and a former college
professor; and so on through the
roster of Hollywood.
So Hollywood obviously knows col-
lege life as it leally is. Hollywood
knows that' college life Is not all foot-
ball games and dances.
But there is less coloi and there-
fore entertainment value in the class
room than on the campus so Holly-
wood takes the zest and liveliness of
youth and presents that In its musi-
cal comedies of college life.
No sane pel son would believe that
Grade Allen could possibly become the
head of an American college. Yet
the idea of Grade trying to run a
college Is amusing. So why not pic-
ture what she might do with a col-
lege? It certainly offers possibilities.
And that's exactly what "College
Swing" does.
And if millions of people get en-
ough laughs from the plctute to cause
them to forget their daily worries
the picture justifies itself.
But the picture Is no more intended
as an accurate and serious portrayal
of college life than aie the jokes and
jibes in college humor publications.
School Men To
Discuss NYA
Austin March 23. Two committees
of Texas school men will meet soon to
discuss the National Youth Adminis-
tration Student Aid program of 1937-
38 under which more than 14000 stu-
dents have earned a portion of their
expenses by part-time work while con-
tinuing In s"hool.
The School Aid Committee of which

ble Director of Fort Worth Techni-
cal High School; A. F. Waggoner Bell

Foster Longvlew Schools Superinten-
dent. The College Aid Committee of
which Dean V. I. Moore of the Uni-
versity of Texas Is chairman will meet
in Dallas on April 1 following the
meeting of the Association of South-
ern Colleges. Other members of this
Committee are Dr. C. E. Evans pres-
ident of Southwest Texas State Teach-
ers College; Dr. Gordon G. Singleton
president of Mary-Hardin Balyer Col-
lege; James F. Mead president of
Amarillo College; Dr. A. W. Blrdwell
president of Stephen F. Austin Stare

selected by the participating institu-
tion for part-time employment. Col-
lege students may earn an average of
$15.00 a month while high school stu-
dents may earn a wage not In excess

MALE DON'TS
Two women of Boston university
recently revealed their pet hates in
men. The most frequently suggested
for the list were:
1. Don't make puns all the time.
2. Don't spend less than 75 cents
on a dinner.
3. Don't wear red neckties.
4. Don't kiss on a first date.
Snow White and Her Prince
The romantic element is not omitted in Walt Disney's
full feature length production "Snow White and the Seven
Dwarfs." There is a happy ending in which the heroine's
sweetheart revives her with the "first kiss of love" from the
trance in which she has been placed by a witch as her
friends the dwarfs cheer him. Music and dancing and dia-
log are among the attractions in this picture from RKO
Radio.

Wafted up from the floor of the
boulder strewn canyon came the ro-
mantic strains of a ukelele. One
thought perhaps he was on the beach
at Bali Ball as visions of grass skirt-
ed dark-eyed natives rippling In writh-
ing rythm floated through the brain
but suddenly the flowing strains of
a mouth organ joined the ukelele in
murdeted melody and one immediate-
ly decided that Hawaii had gone hill-
billy. In the ghastly glow of a flickering
firelight which cast an eerie light
throughout the canyon as one's eyes
became accustomed to the dim light
one could see shadowy forms paired
off and lounging around on the
rocks. Between intermittent out-
bursts of grating music could be
heaid the gurgle of running water
and on investigation by the eyes a
seal let ribbon could be seen hanging
over a ledge of rocks which proved
to be a water fall reflecting the light
of the campfire.
An inquisitive onlooker would have
soon found out that these shadowy
forms materialized into the budding
journalists of the staffs of the How-
ard Payne Yellow Jacket and the

esses during the program of music by

Lasso. Yes it was a group of merry
making lltcrarlans who fested on de-
licious tid-blts as King Mirth held
sway at "Bir Mir Du Schoen Falls."
Towards the conclusion of this gay
and festive evening six breathless fi-
gures came stumbling down the steep
incline to the floor of the canyon and
demanded a handout. Closer percep-
tion tevealed not a group of wander-
ing hobos but the president of the
Press Club his girl a cadet with his
moll and a couple of nondescript
clucks who have been seen on and
around the Howard Payne campus.
'Neath starlight skies ( or was it
cloudy? Anyhow it was Mr. Moon's
might off) would-be crooners lifted
their noses toward the heavens and
uttered forth a bedlam of noises not
unlike the mating call of the goon
whilst lounging lethargic lovers la-
mented the lack of lunar light.
All of this is just telling you that
the Press Club consisting of the mem-
bers of the two publication's staffs en-
joyed a very delightful evening of nlc-
nlcing and stuff at "Bir Mir Bist Du
Schoen Falls." 'The group was chap-
eroned by Mr. and Mrs. Wesley Lynch.
They had been sitting and holding
hands for hours when Mary Jo spoke:
If I told you I was saving my kiss-
es for a rainy day what would you
do?"
"Storm of course."

H. P. Players Set
Date For Play
The Howard Payne Players are
working every day on "Charley's
Aunt" and It Is rounding into good
shape.
The play is becoming more ap
parently hilarious all the time as the
action Is being emphasized and bids
fair to garner as many laughs as the
lines. Think of the situation as two
boys who are expecting the aunt of
one of them to arrive invite their
girls to their rooms to propose; think
ing to use the aunt as a chaperon.
The aunt falls to show up and the
boys press another college student
into service to impersonate the aunt.
Complications pile up one after an-
other and the boys are faced with
one new dilemnas very minute. Each
scene adds new situations to add to
the general consternation and the
laughs get longer and louder.
The time to present the play has
been decided. It will be presented
on the evening of April 5th in the
Mlms Building. The play is an out-
standing play with a high royalty
and the attendance of the student body
Is urged. The Players ate confident
that the public will be royally enter-
tained by the play and you will be
assured of an enjoyable evening if
you choose to attend. More news
about the play will be given from time
to time. In the mean time keep your
eye on "Charley's Aunt."

icans in our own First Baptist Church.

shall here on the B. T. U. Study
