From Baylor-Belton conies the re-
port of a terrible outrage perpetrated
by the faculty. Kissing has been
piaced under the ban for an indefinite
period. It was done as a health meas-
ure and is to include even kissing
among the girls. However, it is ac-
cepted with grave doubts of its suc-
cess, for it is feared that the good it
wiil do in the matters of health will
be more than offset by its detrimental
effect to the morale of the students.
R
The Students Association of Texas
University gave its first all-University

Longhom Band furnishing the music.
