PADEREWSKL
By Mrs. W. C. Ashford
Paderewski the idol of two continents

line of the music masters which began
with Beethoven and culminated in the
latter part of the twentieth century by
such men as Liszt Rubenstein and Chopin

A REBUKE.
"Just a little more slumbering and a
little- more folding of the arms" was the
answer Solomon received from the occu-
pant of an estate that had become neg-
lected and dilapidated. This too seems
to be the awer of the Simmons stud-
eat Wdy 1b regard to the challenge the
T. L P. A. stakes to all students o col
to the associativa in the
form of a literary contest.
As rebuking as this statement may be
it nevertheless teems to be true. In the
days gone by yes in the "good old days"
Simmons was always at the front in these
contests. However in tho past two or
three years her students seem to have gone
to sleep on the matter they have neglect-
ed it and becomo grossly indifferent to-
Vtard it. A reason for this may bo that
they have not been properly informed con
cerning these contests for it Is certain
that the failure to participate in them is
not due to a lack of literary talent 'among
tho present student body. All we really
need Is to put to action what wc have and
the results of former days will bo repeated.
Theso Texas Intercollegiate Press Asso-
elation conlesU are heW oncc cvcry. ycar
and every undergraduate pf the colleges
belonging to the association is invited to
participate in them. Five kinds of articles
are admitted to these 'contests namely:
Short story essay poem news article and
a humorous story. Prizes aro awarded to
tho ones winning first placo in each in
addition to tho honor of winning over
students of many schools. For the short
story1 essay poem the prize Is' $10.00
cash; for the news article $5.00 cash and
a complete set of tho works of Mark
Twain for the best humorous story. These
articles havo to be filed with the proper
authorities four weeks before the annual
convention of the T. I. P. A. which meets
the second Thursday and Friday in April.
It is necessary then that the article be in
by March 13th in order to gain admittance
ir. this year's contest. These articles must
not have been discussed in debates ora-
tions etc. and must bo written by the
contestant himself.
It is very much hoped that the students
will heartily support this by making con-
tributions to it and thus uphold this phase
of college activities.
SMITH HALL SCANDAL
Girls
With all of its 'greatness Smith Hall has
always realized one agonizing1 weakness.
It has been able to boast of its great ora-
same ''Suppressed Desires" as has Miss
Naomi Hunt.
Strange things can happen Chauncey
Garrison and Ike Jay were seen rushing
towards Smith Hall at three minutes until
four last Sunday afternoon. '
MARY FRANCES SKELETONS.
Nellie Mae Price wishes to announce
that gold fish are not the proper food for
big gray cats.
Jn Economics we study About the "Dou-
ble Standard" of money; in Mary Frances
Hall we (at least some of us) study
about the "double standards" of some of
the dashing young gents.
Mac McCasland doesn't like large girls

And Clara Mae Clark was true to him
Saturday night. .
Two new photos pf varied and nation-
wide interest have appeared on -Alice Wil-
Hams "dressing table" In the past few
days. Sho Is very busy so jf anyone wishes
to see the photographs please call at her
room between the hours of four and six
in the afternoon as these are her only off
hours.
And still Slnirtleff remains with us.
Only Saturday did three packages arrive
which from tho outside looked as if they
might be photographs. But the addresses
could not bo read so the packages were
distributed among us.
Of course there was a mad rush and
wild scramble.
