BUNKUS DENIES THAT BE BATHED
By Dr. Theo Bald Blinktu
IN WATERS OF BAYOU; HAS ALIBI
I'm deeply griev-
ed. Again 1 have
been falsely accus-
ed. I fear that some
or the students re-
sent my exalted po-
sition on the cam-
pus. Everyone
thinks that I was
thrown in the ba-
you; some make so
bold as to i?rln evil-
ly when 1 walk
down the cloister.
However, 1 can
prove that 1 was trying out one of
my new improved telescopes in my
■client tower observatory that night.
Incidently, I saw the whole thing from
my tower. I know you won't believe
il. but any time that you have time
ask that red-headed nurse who stays
in room in the hospital, what she
was doing that night and if her story
and mint don't tally, then 1 was in
tin- bayou.

bayou tiling. I think Dial I was the
only -yewitness to that foul event. I

antly turned my telescope from the
hospital window. The scene was so
terrible that J am admonished not to

Freshmen
Instruct
The course in Physical Training for
Freshmen was started this week under
the tutorship of Coach F. D. Ashcraft
and Paul Perry. All Freshmen who
are not actively engaged in athletics
are required to take the course. About
100 men have registered for one of
the classes which are held on Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday each week.
This course promises to be both
interesting and beneficial this year.
Stiff muscles and sore bodies of the
men after their first class proved
there was ample opportunity for de-
velopment.
The poor Slimes were subjected to
(lie intricate flips and flops of a tumb-
ler. In spite of the broken necks, and
skinned knees and elbows, everyone
had a big time. Perry and Ashcraft
vow that this workout was merely
child's play compared to what is com-
ing.

I !,>.•! ji my duty to relate my ex-
perience last Saturday night. Of
course you know that, 1 was the ring*
loader in the Hallowe'en merrymak-
ing I was taken -riding no less than
three times during the evening by
si range men w ho claimed that 1 was
intoxicated, so we weut to see their
father w ha sat at a big desk. He had
evidently heard of me because he ot-
tered to let me spend the night. Na-
turally I declined. I abominate
strange hotels, and this one was
strange although it reminded me of
I lie pne I slept in during my l ew days,
in Austin last year.
The evening was aiuioft as bad as.
the afternoon. 1 tried the dance in
the Autry House but that was worse
i ban ihe game. I left as soon as 1
could because Rev. Osborne saw me
and of course tried to shine up to
me I realize that it is rather diffi-
cult to deliberately snub a man, es-
pecially one w ho is a clergyman. How-
ever 1 put him gently in Bis plat* and
then caught a ride to town.
I shall have to omit some of my ex-.
p. rieiiee because some were rather
personal-. We had a lovely time and
every one enjoyed themselves. "Big"
Mike and 1, being personal friends,

hit, 1 realize that 1 -kouldn't speak

the Institute is by no means the under-
dog. Ben Chitwood, Ernmett Brunson,
Glenn McKamey, Lawrence Frazee
and Jesse Madden are alt proven men
and should give the Steers quite a
spanking.
Last Saturday Coach Hjertberg gave
his runners a trial over the courae to
determine positions on the team. The
course took in the greater part of Her-
mann Park and the campus.
Ben Chitwood, who has been doing
great things in track at Rice, despite
a broken leg, received in his fresh-
man year, set a fast pace for over
three miles and led the field, with
Brunson, another luminary, close be-
hind. Brunson, however, nosed out
Chitwood at the finish, with McKa-
mey, Madden and Frazee finishing In
the order named.
Coach Hjertberg Is priming his men
to cop the Southwestern conference
title.
"We will win, or run the legs off
the team that does," the coach de-
clares.
Students are invited to the Field
House to witness the start and finish.

Two Programs of I. ■. L. Carrying
Out Thla 14m Have Been Success
The Elisabeth Baldwin Literary So-
ciety has in its different years of
study taken up the literature of the
various countries, even taking a trip
around the world of literature. There-
fore, this year the program commit-
tee has taken for its theme, current

definitely what was in the beginning.
The field of biology is concerned with
the scientific study of life.
"The Bible,*" Mr. Osborne explained,
"Is of value, not as a scientific text-
book. Our faith In the Bible rests
not upon our confidence In its view of
astronomy or biology, or upon any of
the crude scientific notions of its
early authors, but upon Its picture of
the Perfect Man, who la the fhiil ud
complete revelation of the relationship
of Ood and ^Sa ."
