Contract for the St. Edward’s uni-
versity senior rings for 1931
awarded on Dec. 19, to a San Anto-
nio firm.
Edward Ott, class president, says
that the rings will be exactly the
same as those of the last three year*
and that the company gives an un-
conditional guarantee.
Before the contract was given rep-
resentatives from each of the un-
dergraduate classes met and the con-
tract was given for a period of three
years. It was decided to adopt the
rings as the standard university ring
for all future graduating classes.

worthy Texas Independence day pro-
gram.
Since March 2 this year falls on
Sunday, Independence day will be
celebrated on March 3.
“The Historical commission is
again making an appeal for all books,
pamphlets, clippings, letters, docu-
ments, and the like that may possi-
bly be of value to the commission in
writing the early Catholic history of
Texas,” Father Foik said.
Highways Mavbe
Happy Ways —
• . . . but the best way to extract' the most
happiness from them is to be gliding over
them, instead of being in direct contact with
the highways themselves;
The best way to be gliding over them, gazing
out at the beautiful scepery, as well as your
unfortunate hitch-hiking brothers, is to start
your journey from the Greyhound Station.
Greyhound Safety Coaches .offer the safest,
most economical, comfortable travel to be
found. Wherever you may be going, there’s,
a Greyhound taking off at a convenient hour
. . . and think of the saving
of . time and money, as well
as all the bright cracks you ''Fw A
can make at the pedestrians.
CHICAGO.—N. C. W. C.—Five
hundred dollars in cash will be of-
fered as prizes in a national essay
contest to be conducted under the
Literary Awards foundation of the
Catholic Press association during the
calendar year 1930, it is announced
here by J. H. Meier, publisher of
The Catholic Press directory and sec-
retary of the C. P. A.
A check for $300 will be the first
prize for the best essay on the sub-
ject “Catholic Colleges and Catholic
Leadership,” and $200 will be
awarded as the second prize for the
second best essay on the same sub-
ject.
The contest is open to any stu-
dent or graduate of a Catholic Col-
lege in the United States. Only two
prizes will be awarded in this essay
contest, and, to make the awards at-
tractive, the amounts were fixed by
the executive board at $300 and
$200.
Awards Fund is Growing
These prizes are being offered un-
der the Literary Awards foundation,
which was established to stimulate,
encourage and reward Catholic
writers and literary workers. The
plan is to obtain 500 life members
of the C. P. A. and to use the fund
thus realized to make awards an-
nually for the best books on various
types, for the best short stories,
poems, essays, and other forms of
literature. The life-membership fee
is $100. Thus far, 130 life member-
ships have been obtained, but, when
the full number of 500 has been !
raised, the annual prize1 money will 1
be in the neighborhood of $2,500.
Among the life members thus far
listed are members of the American
hierarchy, pastors of churches and
their curates, universities, seminar-
ies, colleges, academies, high schools,
Catholic men and women, Catholic
publishing firms and church-goods
houses.
C. P. A. Committee in Charge
The 1930 essay contest will be in
charge of the Literature Bureau of
the association. The members of
this committee are the Rev. Wilfrid
Parsons, S. J., editor of America,
New York, chairman; Richard Reid,
editor of The Bulletin, Augusta, Ga.,
and John F. McCormick, business
manager of The Commonweal, New
York.
The number of words to be con- (
tained in the essays and the rules
and regulations governing the con-
test, will be announced later by the
bureau.
“It’s Better Bread”
The Rev. Harold Fiedler, C. S. C.,
member of the first graduating
class of the University in 1925, came
in from New York, Thursday, Jan.
2, to become a member of the faculty.
He was scheduled to come at the be-
ginning of the school year, but re-
mained in New York for further
study. While here he will teach
History A and C in the Preparatory
school.
Father Fiedler was student of the
University in 1924-25, and was a
member of the graduation class in
1925. From St. Edward’s he went
to Notre Dame to pursue his studies
for the priesthood. In June 1929 he
was ordained at that university.
After his ordination he went to New
York, where he studied until his de-
parture for St. Edward’s.
Word has been received at the Uni-
versity of the death of Maurice J.
Powers, a former student of St. Ed-
ward’s, who died in the Santa Rosa
infirmary of San Antonio on Dec. 18,
1929.
Powers was at St. Edward’s from
1924 to 1927. He came here from
St. Ambrose academy of Davenport,
Iowa. About three months ago he
came down to San Antonio and re-
sided at 1512 Virginia boulevard.
During his illness he was attended by
the Rev. H. Phillips, C. SS. R., of St.
Gerard church. Powers is sur-
vived by his wife,' Mrs. Harriet
Powers; a son, Paul Maurice; his
mother, Mrs. Annie Powers; two
brothers and two sisters, all of Dav-
enport, Iowa.
The body, accompanied by a sister,
Mrs. Thomas Clancy, was sent to
Davenport for burial.
“Dukes,” as he was commonly
known to his friends at St. Edward’s
was one of the most popular boys
ever to attend the University. His
good nature and ready wit won for
him many friends wherever he
went.
Though small in stature, Powers
was one of the best left handed pitch-
ers ever to pitch for a St. Edward’s
ball club. He was a two year letter
man. He was unable to pitch his
last year due to a pulled ligament in
his arm that he received in early
season practice.

O U N D
Prizes totaling twenty-five dollars
have been offered by the Texas
Knights of Columbus Historical com-
mission for the best essays on some
phase of early Catholic history in
Texas.
The essays may be written on
“Early Catholic Explorers of the
Southwest,” “Catholic Pioneers” of
any locality, “Growth and Develop-
ment of Catholic Education in Tex-
as,” “History of the Parish” in which
the contestant lives, or any other
kindred subject. The liberty of se-
lection is allowed to stimulate re-
search among students, and to re-
veal data that may be of value to
the Historical commission, Father
Foik, chairman of the commission,
said in making the announcement.
The prize money is divided into
two parts, ten dollars for high school
students, and fifteen dollars for col-
lege and university students.
Contest Successful Last Year
The decision of the Historical com-
mission to have another prize essay
contest this year came after the
marked success of the contest held
last year, according to Father Foik.
The Knights of Columbus Histor-
ical commission is preparing a re-
view of the early Catholic pioneers’
singular achievements, and of mis-
sionary labors of early padres who
actually introduced civilization into
Texas with the aid of the first Span-
ish settlers. The work being done
by the commission is in preparation
for the celebration of the centennial
of Texas independence in 19 3 6.
The rules for the prize essay as
set forth in the announcement, are
as follows:
“1. Each student must submit at
least fifteen hundred words of type-
written manuscript with an original-
ity of composition, thought, and ex-
pression, in keeping, however, with
the facts of history.
“2. Each student/competing must
forward the complete essay by East-
er Sunday, April 20, 1930. Please
give name, address, and school or
college which you attend on a sepa-
rate sheet of paper, but not on the
manuscript.
“3. Those who choose ‘Early
Catholic Explorers of the Southwest’
may obtain copies of the same for
ten cents each. These should be
ordered collectively through the
teacher to save time and effort. Send
order to the Chairman of the Texas
Knights of Columbus Historical
commission, St. Edward’s university,
Austin, Texas.
“4. The awards will be made by
a selected committee of judges with
the approval of the commission.”
Texas Independence Day
Another prize in the form of a
complimentary association member-
ship in the Texas Catholic Historical
society, (subscription value $10.00)
will be given by the Texas Knights
of Columbus Historical commission
for the best efforts shown by any
Catholic grade school, high school,
academy, college, or university in a
program in celebration of Texas In-
dependence day, March 2. The com-
mission suggests that the program
should be marked by the conspic-
uousness of the Lone Star state flag,
and by the singing of such songs as
Marsh’s “Texas Our Texas.” Narra-
tion of the deeds of such famous men
of Texas as Bowie, Travis, and Crock-
ett should also take place in a
