BILLIE BLEATS
Jane Vernon says that the climate
here agrees with her. Also says that
he has picked up 168 pounds since
he arrived in Brownwood. The west
Texas country must beat the swamps
of Louisiana or Is It possible that
Duncan weighs 150 pounds . . .?
Roy Owens leaves Brownwood for
Twinkle City. Seems that he Is doing
fairly well In that section of the
country too. Says that there Is some-
thing there that will make one giow
In weight and strength.
"True love never dims" Shakes-
peare. Look at Chubby Wohlford for
an example. His love Is always nt Its
height but of course wc couldn't say
that it was always the same girl who
received his devotions.
Latest flashes on the Ex-Students'
aide: Just married signs hanging nt
half mast for "Roach" Damron.
Whether she Is lucky or not it Is
Imogenc Stewart who played first
peck-horn in the ceremony. "Smokey"
had to take the back seat in the duct.
Anyway best wishes.
J. M. Alderson getting In his court-
ing .. . "Red" Keith Is one . . . who
ia the steadiest recipient of his
"amours" ?
Mary Elizabeth Wilson seen with
one of the village's typical bachelors.
What could that mean? Could you
give a few pointers Mary Liz.
That Patta Jean Moore was out
with that R. B. Wells person again
the other night. Seems that they will
get up some kind of a case yet. Just
wait and see. They have been working
hard enough for the past two years.
What has happened to Spccy Stel-
la and her little "Wooden Soldier"?
Don't think that they got in very
much courtin' during the holidays.
- dh a hb
thing in transferring his band mem-
bership elsewhere. Real musicians in
the school and others on the side be-
lieve that it was the best thing that
could happen as the opposition has a
larger band which should be able to
cover up some of the "blue" notes.
Our thanks to the Cowboys from
Hardin-Simmons. It seems that they
have some excellent ideas and are
able to carry them out. Anyway for
once the Billies cannot be blamed
for encroachment on the opposite
campus. Maybe some eyes will be
opened now. And what was that
about "honor where honor Is due?"
Isn't little Camllle a sweet little
sweetheart? She was so calm and col-
lected and so excited and fluttered
when she kicked-off for the under
classmen the other day. Maybe it was
the company that caused her spirit
to rise.
And Dot said that she was yelling
for the uppcts but that she was yel-
ling for Bill.
Was Fitzlo proud of her Gcorglc
or was she watching someone else
this time? Wc would like for that lit-
tle j;lrl to settle down for a few days
so wc could locate her.
Now we know why Ersky Isn't get-
ting the A. & M. Battalion this year.
The lad who formerly came through
Is now enrolled in John Tarlcton. She
still thinks and writes though.
Strickland former dirt specialist
has shifted scenery In Biownwood
again. Ernestine lost to Ilo Mae on
the last visit. Get up a little excite
gals.
B. E. organization has caused a lot
of "Bachelor girls". Seems that the
boys have learned that they can get
along without the girls once in a
while. Right? Ask someone who
knows. Maybe Patta Jean or Jane
or Dorothy Nell or "Pretty" or Mar-
garet (sometimes) or maybe even
"Little Eva".
A certain editor has another one
of those things from Mississippi. Af-
ter so long a time toooooo.
It wasn't dirt Tuesday but what Is
it now? Emma Catherine Patta
Jean R. E. and Milton might furnish
a little enlightenment on their trip to
Snyder the other night. They say that
it was a 'possum hunt.
And were thcic arguments bruises
cuts and blisters following the inter-
class game Thursday. And some of
the freaks that are moaning nnd
groaning on the campus have sug-
gested that the boys play off their
tie and are some of the gals raising
a rumpus on accounts of the boys are
too sore to go to the revival but
that they can find time to go to the
show.'
It has been rumored around the
campus though we hate to mention
the names again that Duncan Is
just as jealous as heck where Jane
Vernon is concerned so boys' lay
off.
Sideliners say that Sue McClelland
had the Trail cameia at the inter-
class game taking all of the pictures
that she could of Jack McClendon
when he bad the ball. Why not give
some of the other boys a break
Susan?
Ia it really love? There could be
no doubt when a certain young gen-
tleman walks twelve to fourteen
blocks to see bis girl following the
rough and tough Intra-mural game.
THAT is love.
Advice to College
Men
One of .the first things that should
be taught college freshmen is not to
act college. Perhaps the first week
of their college year should bo devoted
to boiling the little fellows in oil and
othciwlsc toituring them to get out
of their system all desire to wear
monkey caps and do snake dances.
Then If they persist In nctlng conven-
tionally college they should all be
shipped to the Warner Brothers stu-
dios In Hollywood to cut up in motion
pictures about college life a doom
worse than Siberia.
In short this period of chastening
would be a most excellent chance to
wean college youngsters as possible
candidates for the intelligent Ameri
canism from our all-too-prevalent
American weakness for labels and
for acting and dicssing the part.
Theic ate of course in every col
lege a few lusty little nitwits who
lead in this collegiate babbittry. They
should be smacked to earth by their
more embarrassed classmates. It is
the embarrassed who are right but it
is the healthy little babbitts who pre
vail.
This goes too for after life and I
think that I have suggested a bit of
pedagogy here by which the colleges
can eventually Improve American llfo
as a whole.What America needs for
one thing is fewer joiners.
The best actors I know look like
businessmen. Only the hams look like
lie ten s. The best writers and artists I
know look like brokers or storekeep-
ers. Only the phonics wear long hair
und Windsor ties. The best musicians
might be mistaken for chemists. The
best college 'students ought to look the
least college.
If we can't get intelligent people
fiom our college we ought to close
the colleges. And I think it would help
u lot toward this end to smack all that
is collegiate out of the freshmen be-
foic they are a week old.
m
The Russians are the greatest of all
tea d inkers.
Clowns have contributed generously
to the hilarity of England's fairs.
We don't know about this but evi-
dence is very strong. Jlmmie Moore's
truck remained in front of Dorothy
Nell Griffin's house for about two
noun Thursday night. Was Dorothy
Nell giving Bill the run-around or
was it someone else claiming the in-
terest of the Moore?
"Pete" Stanford was supposed to
have been one of the coaches for the
upperclassmen's team but for some
reason he resigned the position. We
wonder why. Could women have been
concerned or was it something serious?
The editor and business manager of
the Collegian are looking for the man
who has been selling advertisements
to Brownwood merchants for the col-
toys. They feel that they need either
the man or his technique in the art of
selling. They don't seem to be doing
so hot of late.

A couple of weeks back we reported
McGraw-Hill's release of "How to
Watch Football" by Lou Little and
"Winning Football" by Bernle Blcr-
man . . . having had a chance to

most popular sport . . . Blerman's
tome is an explanation of the famous
Blerman system that produced the
great Gopher Juggernauts of 1934-8

a simple and instructive study illus-
trated with interesting anecdotes . . .

WHITE RULER OF BORNEO
One of New York's most glamorous
arrivals last week was the Ranee of
Sa-awak who with her husband rules
500000 subjects in Northwest Borneo.
The Ranee or Queen is English-born
as is her husband a descendent of an
adventurous Englishman who arrived
in Sarawak in 1838 while the native
ruler was trying to suppress a revo-
lution. The Englishman helped the
local despot quell the revolt and the
Rajah made him his heir as a re-
ward. The Ranee will collaborate with

steady work.

Love Worry and Fatigue
Are Student Problems
LAFAYETTE (ACP) Weighty
problems of college students usually
can be traced to love economic wor-
ries or fatigue Prof. B. S. Conklin
director of Indiana University's psy-
chology department told the annual
Purdue University vocational guid-
ance conference last week.
Conklin asserted that students aver
age only about six hours sleep a
night adding that fatigue and worry
cnuscd by low grades often bring
about drinking on the part of the
student.
Another speaker at the conference
Dr. Homer P. Rainey director of the
American Council on Education's
Youth Commission said needs of
youth arc not being met either by
schools or the employers of labor.
"There is a wide gap between the
completion of school and the begin-
ning of employment. There is practi-
cally no relationship between the
training which youths receive and the
type of jobs they enter and after the
compulsory age limit is reached no
agency Is responsible for youth's ad-
justment." m i

Thought Detector Used
In Recording States
Of Human Minds
IOWA CITY (ACP) A thought de-
tector which makes use of electrical
waves from the brain to record and
classify the different states of mind
has been set up at the University of
Iowa.
The detector Indicates that the high-
est mental quality "abstract thought"
considered the sole prerogative of
man operates In an electrical field
definitely unlike the field of other
activities of the brain.
This highest human function works
In an electrical calm as apparently
unruffled as the states of sleep or of
"mental blankness".
The thought detector was set up by
Edward Travis professor of psychol-
ogy. It records electrical brain waves
using the same appartus with which
biologists and medical men have been
Investigating the brain.
Youth's Challenege
TIs In the hands of the youth of earth
To make or mar the joy and worth
Of this our wondrous world.
In every tongue of every creed
O'er every tribe and race wc need
The flag of peace unfurled.
Rise up young people let's away
To usher in the better day
The time we long to see;
When man to man this wide world
o'er
Fiom cast to west from shore to
shore
Shall friends and brothers be.
Then and only then we'll find
The loyalty of all mankind
Which will ill-will remove.
With no more fighting of men and
nations
There shall prevail o'er all creation
The spirit of peace and love.
The first skull of the so-called
Neanderthal Men was discovered in
1856 in Germany.
Gold was coined in England as
early as 1257.
