and
Tulane has taken its stand on the
gridiron with the greatest schools )n
the South and if the present gait is
continued by the Rotting Green Wave.
Tutane witl soon rank with the might-
iest eievens not only in the South but
the entire country. When Athletic
Director "Germany" Schultz announc-
ed that Tutane had ctosed a game
with Auburn to be piayed in New
Orieans in 1921, the Cave resounded
wtth echo after echo of the joyous
outburst of apptause which greeted
his announcement. And "Germany"
followed up that wonderful announce-
ment with the word that Virginia
woutd be on the Greenback schedute
as would probably Illinois and Mich-
igan.
The way the Greenie schedule now
stands it appears as though the oppo-
nents for the Green Wave during the
coming season will be Mississippi
College, University of Mississippi,
Rice, Mississippi Aggies, Detroit, L.
S. U. Virginia, Auburn and either Iili-
nois or Michigan.

No Smoking on Campus at
Oklahoma A. and M. CoMege
The Student Senate of the Oklahoma
Agricultural and Mechanical College
has taken definite steps in establish-
ing a new law against the oid custom
of smoking on tho campus.
Committees were appointed by the
senate to work out the detaiis of en-
forcing the law and the methods of
putting it before the students of A.
and M. It was decided definitely that
any student caught smoking on the
campus by a member of an appointed
committee, would he reported to the
discipline committee for a definite
number of demerits. Upon a repetition
of the misdemeanor a definite number
of times he is to be summoned upon
the carpet for further action.
When you read a poster on the
campus reminding you that you are
not to smoke wtthin the gates, don't
forget that it is a ruling made by the
senate and endorsed by the students,
and that you are to leave the cigar-
ettes or cigars on the outside.

Financial assistance and moral sup-
j port of the band was asked by its
representative, C. E. Wademan, at the
monthly meeting of the Student Coun
cii held Monday. Mr. Wademan ap
peared by invitation and talked of
the progress already made by the band, j
and in view of the fact that they
anticipate taking a tour in the spring,
that financial assistance should be
given by the Council, in the way of
purchasing uniforms, instruments and
music. Inasmuch as he asked for no
definite sum, but assured the Council
that he would have the band director
and president present a more detaited
account of the necessary amount, the
Councit expressed itseif in favor of
assisting the band to a certain degree.
It was announced by Treasurer E.
R. Duggan that with the addition of
the $250 coming from the Co-Op. fund,
the incidental fund at the disposal of
the Council now comes to something
like twelve hundred dollars.
