STUDENTS VOTE
PUBLICATION
misRLY MAGAZINE
TO BE PUBUSHED
"The growth of a college depends
upon the students."
This wa' the keynote of the appeal
put to the student body Tuesday
morning by Miss Pauline Veazey.
She (brought up the question of a
quartely magazine to be published
by the students of Texas Womans'
College. Following her exposition of
the plan whereby this periodical can
be made possible, it was unamiously
voted that it he founded.
The name of this publication has
not yet been decided upon. A contest
will be opened in the near future,
and an appointed f'ommittee will de-
fide upon the name. Each student is
eligible to outer the contest.
Three numbers will be published
during the' year. Each issue will
have some special feature, such as
[athletics, Fine Arts, etc.
Tho Handout Staff will be respon-
| sib!? fi-.r' the collection and organi-
sation of material, hut that material
must fi®c from the student body as
; a whole. Original stories, poems, jin-
gle-, and competitive essays will be
I ihe - hief features.
Originality will be especially stres-
| sed, for this is to be ^'publication
"of, by and for the students of Texas
Woman's College.
It is to be a self supporting insti-
'u'ion. paying for itself from the
s?le of the magazines and from the
■advertising. Buying it is optional, but
voted for this quarterly magazine
staff believes that every girl who
pledged herself to support it.
This is an entirely new enterprise,
i and it is a big one, but there has nev-
er been one which so well showed
I the enthusiasm, the spirit, and the
[ loyalty of our students to our college.
Dean and Mrs. Isely
Entertain
Student Officers
Mrs. Isely was hostess to the stu-
dent officers lest Sunday afternoon
at a delightfully informal tea
Carrying out the Jubilee Spirit,
the centerpiece .was a charming col-
onial lady. At each girl's plate was
a curving oldin
a cunning old fashioned bonnet. Dean
Isely proudly displayed a four-gallon
hat as his place card. The young men
of the family acted as waiters and
served a salad course, bread and but-
ter sandwiches, cheese straws, peach
ice cream and cake to the following
guests: Misses Ruth Williamson, pres-
ident of the student body, Alice Jones,
vice-president, Birdie Callings, secre-
tary of the student body, Virginia
Burks, treasurer of the student body,
Dahlia Link, editor of the Txwoco,
Mary Terry, business manager of the
Txwoco and Marion Isley, president
of the Y. W. C. A. Both the editor
and business manager of the Hand-
out were unable to be present.
Dean and Mrs. Isley are fast be-
coming noted for their original and
informal entertaining. In the words of
the small boy "Miz Isley that 'un
tasted like another 'un."

Miss Mary Douthit
Plays in Chapel
Last Friday morning the student
body had the unusual pleasure of hear-
ing Miss Mary Douthit at the piano.
She has studied with Miss Tillett and
with Mr. Van Michwitz for several
years. Her playing shows much talent
and deep thought, and was distin-
guished by a brilliant, flowing techni-
que. Her selection on this occasion,
was especially adapted for displaying
the latter quality. Liszt's "Tarantella"
demands strong, masterly handling.
Miss Douthit's interpretation was
splendid. We hope to hear her often
this year.
Juniors To Add Chair To
Txwoco
When the Txwoco comes out in the
spring you will glance hurriedly thru
it, so anxious to see all of it that you
can't settle down and look thru it
page by page. In this hurried review
a striking feature will meet your
eager eye, and you will say as you
pause and open the book wide "Why,
that must be the Juniors—isn't that
new and clever?"
Because the Juniors have done
something "new and clever."
All pictures in the Junior section
will be uniform. Each Junior when
she ascends the steps of our Wag-
goner to the third story, and has her
"beauty struck," wears a white blouse
with a Peter Pan collar and a sleeve-
less sweater. This becoming attire
adds dignity and charm to the class
pictures.
Come on Juniors, what's the next
unusual thing you'll do?
A life of service and gratitude is
the most beautiful life that can be
led by any mortal on earth and he
who leads this life is the one who
always meets a cheery smile, a firm
hand-clasp, and the joys and pleas-
udes in the rugged path of life.
The .Tuniorette.
tee, publicity committee and all
amounted to $650.
The girls and faculty voted unani-
mously, 7 believe, to help pay this bud-
get.
We can do this and so let us be true
to our opening song of "I Would Be
True" and be true to our earnest and
energetic cabinet.

DEAN CARL VENTH
G. M. K'S TURN TO
GIPSY LIFE
Entertain New Girls at Tribal Camp
"Reversion to Species" may be a
queer way to describe what happened
to the G. M. K's and non-society mem-
bers Saturday night and it may be
casting aspersions at the ancestors
of said persons, but that's just what
happened.
At 6:00 a motely group collected in
front of Ann Waggoner Home in
bloomers, some in skirts, some in
knickers, all sporting a bandana on
the head. Aside from that about the
only uniform thing was a wide grin
and a general atmosphere of hilarity.
To the wondering shouts of passers
by the queer looking bunch yelled:
"We're hoboes and we're going to
the camp. Wanta come?"
With Miss Mary Elizabeth Stegall
at the head of the line, the group
marched up hill and down dale, over
young mountains and ambitious can-
yons till at last the cheery glow of a
camp fire in the bottom of a ravine
brought thankful sighs from every-
one.
Ghost stories interspersed with
hasty expeditions for more wood ami
the more or less off-key singing of
college songs kept the gang of tramps
happy for a while, but soon the de-
mands for "food—-food!" drowned out
the musically inclined.
A line was formed two abreats
and each couple was armed with a
sack containing wienies, buns, and
pickles. The rest of the equipment
was a stick on which to toast the
wienies. After each hobo had suc-
ceeded in scorching her nose and
dropping her wienie in the ashes, the
gastronomic feat of eating them (the
wienies, not the noses) was essayed.
The party ended with yells for the
president, sponsor, and Miss Wilson,
and everybody came home happy.
OPEN MEETING
OF MUSIC CLUB
Mr. Dobie Talks To
English Class
Dean Carl Venlh Honcred by
Fine Arts Students
One of the most worthwhile of all
the enterprises of Texas Woman's
College for the year 1923-21 was the
organization of a Musical Club for
the" purpose of advancing the appre-
ciation of music among the students.
One of the members of the Fine
Arts faculty, small in stature, but
immense in brains and energy,
up the plan, talked it, boosted it, and
got it on^ its feet. Hats off io Miss
Merriweather Lewis.
The constitution and by-laws of
the new club have been drawn up an
voted on by the members. There are
twenty-six charter members.
On October 3 officers were elected.

PEP SQUAD HAS
"PEP" TEA
A Pep tea was given the Pep Squad
by their Peppery Pep-Leader, Jo
Maddox, Tuesday afternoon in the
parlors of "Dan."
After everyone had "mopped up"
on the eats interesting and mysteri-
ous plans for the forthcoming sea-
son were made. Some new songs and
yellls were brought in and lustily
practiced. Watch us—We're Off!!!
"I could just die waltzing."
"Excuse me, while I speak to the
1 orchestra leader."
On Wednesday afternoon the Carl
Venth Music Club held its first open
meeting in the College Chapel Pre-
ceding the open meeting, the Club
entertained the faculty and Fine arts
students at tea in the parlors of
Ann Waggoner.
The program in the chapel was re-
markably appropriate in that every
composition.
The first number was a piano solo
by Miss Jeanette Tillet, Dean Venth's
delicate artistry has never been bet-
ter illustrated than in this "Poem."
Moonlight mystery, Starlight in the
embrace of a spring wind, perfume of
rare flowers, all were woven into a
poignantly beautiful musical poem.
Miss Tillett with her characteristic
depth of understanding and feeling,
was most fitted to bring to the audi-
ence these moments of breath taking
sweetness.
The applause which greeted Dean
and Mrs. Venth when they appeared
on the stage cannot be called a mere
ripple; it was a young cloudburst.
I With Mrs. Venth at the piano, Dean
! Venth drew with his bow three won-
derful pictures. The first was "Child-
ren at play," and he had caught all
the sunshine and laughter of a yel-
low-haired baby chasing butterflies,
the merry shouts of the boys, the
innocent happiness of childhood.
The second picture, a sharply defin-
ed representation of the glory and
majesty of Lake Camplain, was in-
vigorating as a run early in the
morning, as emotional as a Shelley
popm, more inspiring than any ser-
mon, and as colorful as a Titan.
Tiie third one was "Canadian
March." Into this he had poured the
rough jests and buffonry of French-
Canadian trappers and soldiers.
Their simple, whole-hearted entrance
into their wild pleasures. The final
touch was the sweep of their dance.
This group was composed one sum-
mer in the Great Lakes region. So
sensitive is Dean Venth's tempera-
ment and so closely co-ordinated with
his mind that throughout the group
one can hear the boom of the waves
on the rocky beach, the rustle of the
deep forest, and the majestic calm-
ness of the country.
Dean Venth was typically Dean
Venth. The same flawless technique,
the same sweep and vivacity, those
same perfect tones that we recognize
as his were in evidence as always.
Mrs. Venth's accompaniment was
Discusses Texas Legend*
On Friday of last week Mr. J.
Frank Dobie, lately professor of Eng-
lish at State University and professor
of English at Oklahoma A. & M.,
visited the class in American Litera-
ture and discussed Texas Legends at
some length
"Culture is not a grafted thing,"
said Mr. Dobie, "but a cultivation of
the native. People will never gain
true culture by dealing with foreign
elements, »by reading the literature of
foreign countries. Folk legends arc
an almost ideal basis for literature,
as Irving, among other writers, has
shown us. Texas has a treasure hous
of folk legends, and Texas has a lit
erature all its own. A eomparitively
unknown writer, Mrs. M. M. Davis
has given us in her "Under the Wan
Fig," the epic of Texas."
With this brief introduction he told
the classes several of the best legends,
such as how the Brazos river got its
name, several concerning the (San
Saba mines, and others telling of
buried treasure. Most of our legends
are tinged with the Spanish so that
most of them have Spanish and In-
dian characters.
e also visited the advanced class in
Spanish and told many others.
Mr. Dobie is secretary of the Texas
Folk-lore Society and is touring the
country, lecturing and collecting le-
gends. Some time in the near future
a volume of these will be published
by the Society,. We are looking for-
ward to it with much interest.
Sheba: "Tootsie, you have the most
affectionate eyes."
Sheik (thrilled) :"Dearest, do you
really thing so?"
Sheba: "Yes, they're always look-
ing at each other."
the black velvet 'background through
which was woven the silver threads
of the violin tones.
The concluding number of the pro-
gram was a vocal solo by Mrs. Ellen
Jane Lindsay. She was radiantly
beautiful in a costume suited to her
selection "In China." Her magnetic
personality, her beauty, and above
all, the pure gold of her voice hel(.
her listeners spellbound. The quality
of her voice needs no comment;
everyorte knows it. Suffice it to say
that she was at her best.
The opening of the club was well
attended and the program wa-i en-
joyed by all.
Miss Merriweather Lewis
Still more unanmiously was it voted
to name the organization the Carl
Venth Music Club, it is with the
greatest pleasure that the college
recognizes a club bearing the name
and patronage of one so dear to us
all.
The organization of the Carl Venth
Music Club has become well known
over the state, and arrangements are
being made for chapters of the club
to be organized wherever there is a
sufficient number of enthusiastic ex-
students. This club and the various
hapters will be permanent.
It is interested to maintain a high
standard by requiring that every
member have a passing average in
Fine Arts.
So come on, Fine Arts students,
and join the Carl Venth Music Club
of Ft. Worth.
Dean Venth and Pupil
Interpret Sonato
Last Friday Dean Venth and Miss
Elizabeth Long, gifted student of
Michwitz, interpreted most skillfully
a Greig sonato. Dean Venth explained
that the number could not be called
a violin solo because the accompani-
ment was more difficult than the vio-
lin part.
Dean Venth's part needs no com-
ment other than that it was typically
Dean Venth.
Miss Long's rendition of the diffi-
cult piano part was brilliant and sym-
pathetic.
Miss Ada K. Wynn
They are as follows: President, Miss
Ada K. Wynn, vice-president, Miss
Ellen Pugsley, recording secretary,
Miss Eunice Aallen, corresponding
secretary, Miss Frances Hackney,
treasurer, Miss Minnie Willis, libra-
rian, Miss Elizabeth Long, parlia-
mentarian, Miss Mary Gresham. Of
course Miss Lewis was uinamiously
elected sponsor.
