HPC Boy's Dormitory Fund Receives Another $10000 Boost
BANTERINGS
By BELSEY
Saturday's gnmc with East Texas
Is an example of what may result
when a football team and their sup-
porters get too cocky The East Tcx-
nns fully expected to beat us by scv-
' etnl touchdowns and they were stun-
ned when they didn't. They thought
they were so good they couldn't be
beat by a team that had lost to them
by thhteen points the year before.
This sort of moiale Is alright If It
does not go the extienies. If a school
gets the Idea they can't be beat they
ai c ildlng for a fall which Is exactly
what we don't want to happen.
The manner In which the Howard
Payne students who wcic present at
the game yelled and supported the
team ceitalnly made me feel good.
The fact that bcvcral students who
weie heic last year but have since
transferred to other schools were
also pie.sent made my heart swell
with piidc at the thought that there
nic ex-students loyal enough to come
several bundled miles to sec the
Jnckets play.
If the students back the Jackets
. In a similar manner at cveiy game
I won't have any fears regarding
the success of our gild season.
Tonight another stieet painting will
be held and I am sine a large num-
ber of freshmen will again be pres-
ent. The spit it on the last such affair
was excellent nnd the task at hand
was accomplished in shott order.
I believe a piecedent was set when
a member of the faculty was piesent
until the wee hours of Friday morn-
ing. 'lnc students realize that the
lest of the school is Intel ested in
what they aie doing and the .students
' in chaige of the affair ate relieved
of a certain amount of responsibility.
I would like to commend the fresh-
man boys for the manner in which
they tinned out for the last one. I
hope they aie there In even larger
'numbers for this game's painting.
While we are handing out pansles
the whole fieshrnan class should lc-
ceivc a bouquet for the manner in
which they have entered into the
various campus activities and in the
space of a few short weeks have
become real Howard Paynltes They
Ueserve a big hand and a pat on the
back for their cooperation with the
administration nnd upper classmen.
Their cooperation is what really
counts for in a few short years they
will bo seniors and will be setting
the example for a new crop of cresh-
men. That may seem like a long
way off but college years pass swift-
ly all too fast for most of us
Just keep up the good work fresh-
men. The eaily Spaniards brought horses
cattle sheep goats pigs burrows
cats and dogs Into the Southwest.
MOOT QUESTION
Campus Cutie Has Caniption Fit in
Choosing Consort for Life's Battle
By AL HICKS
Betty Coed Is in a quandary what-
ever that is. Anyhoo Webster defines
a quandary roughly as something
that is better not to bo In for people
who don't know what a quandary Is.
But back to Betty Betty has come
to tho sad state of affairs whero she
finds that she can't play the field.
Tho field right now consists of two.
The duo to whom she has been is-
suing her quota of I-bet-you-tcll-that-to-all-the-girls
consists of Joo Col-
lege Gates of tho swinging Gates and
Razzle Dazzlo Dow of the rowdy
Dows.
And this Is whero tho rub comes.
Betty is a hop little chick and nat-
urally collegiate Joe who slices the
tapestry with a smooth finesse and
has a line of equal glossy texture
not to mention tho stack of chips
which Joey whittles down for Betty's
benefit has his points. Then too
Razzlo Dazzlo wears iicr to a frazzle
with Ills forward passes both on and
off the gridiron but though his cave-
man tactics arc bono crushing thoy
are also heart crushing.
Tho ultra smart choice would bo
to keep both tho boys on tap. Razzlo
would furnish tho romance and Joo
tho finance. As long as tho glory of
tho giidiron envelops tho dumb cluck
Razzlo in a glamor haze he's right

Math Club Heads
Elected Tuesday
Howard Payne's youngest club the
Math Club which was organized last
year held Its first meeting of the
fall semester Tuesday night on the
third floor of the Mlms Building.
The Alpha Mu Sigma which is
the official title of the organization
is a club designed for students ma-
joring or inter ested in mathematics.
Bill Nelson Dallas junior is the
newly-elected club president; Billic
Hardin junior from Big Spring was
m leeted to serve as vice-president;
Joel Burt Brownwood junior was
elected second vice-president. Other
officers elected were: Harry Cole
secretary; Lloyd Caston sergcant-at-arms
and Luther Coffey parlia-
mentarian. Students who wish to become mem-
bers of the Math Club must have
had .six hours of mathematics or be
taking a math course at the present
time. Pledges should turn their names
into Nelson as the new members
will be selected from this list in a
short time.
handy to have around just for reps
sake. But the athletic fund doesn't
provide much more than room and

comes in handy for flickers and flow-
ers and all the little items that money

of. However we must not conjure up
an excess of symputhy for pathetic
Betty nnd her enigma as was Inti-
mated previously betty is a hep little
chick. Sho'll probably spend her col-
legiate cavortlngs playing tho glamor
of tho giidiron against tho glitter of
tho jitter (slang for rah rah) and
wind up by marrying somo old fossil
who never went to college but struck
oil on his little plcco of land and is
therefore able to furnish Betty with
mink coats and orchids and the other
little things in life that money Is so
convenient In tho having thereof. For
she knows that all tho trickling of
tho shekels in college will stop when
tho chips off tho old block aro cut
off from Joe after graduation as
papa sends him off on his own. And
Joo will probably wind up a fuller
brush salesman. And then Razzlo
Dazzlo will probably carry tho mall
for Undo Sam instead of tho alma
mater after graduation and post-
offlco is fun only as a garao and not
a business. Such is lifel
