like BUZZY'S attitude lately so the
Junior Prom date it, "off." Has JOHN
HEARD a "steady" in Austin or not.
Can't toll by his actions. Wo hear
there's some pictures that KELLY
REED and GEORGE PIERCE don't
want to get around. The Architecture
labs are getting worse. They tired of
their radio and have gotten a rec-
ord player. Why is ED GILDART
making frequent trips to Beaumont?
Cduld that worried look be girl troub-
le? What else?
What's this we hear about GENE
FLEWELLEN'S ideas concerning
BLACKIE'S girl? LEE CAPPS has
sure been seen a lot with FLORA
CLARK. "SHORTY" VAN PELT
didn't think a sled was necessary.
Now. she doesn't have any use for
cbffiw. Wonder if TONY appreciated
the tobogganing on the campus. The
lab assistants didn't. BILLY BURNS

be "on the ice" quite frequently. Is

vice-versa. Who won all the money
at Monte Carlo Hi-IIat last Monday?
BUDDY HEARD is a whiz at driv-
ing a car on icy streets. Just ask the
guys that rode with him. The "A"
HOUSE was certainly a wonderful
place between 12 a. m. and 1 p. m.
Monday. The School seemed more like
college than it has since the dorm

of that stuff around hem

so he and HEMMINGSON made a
little trip last week-end. PRICHARD
showed us some new steps . . . might
start a class it is rumored. PHILIP
HARDY has the far away look.
NELL, how do you do it? The P. E.'s
are giving DICK. BLOSS a little too
much competition. VIRGINIA STE-
VENS and her "gay nineties" cer-
tainly can take it. We wonder if
CLAUDE E. HOOTEN likes the
snow, lie sure came into some close
contact with it. JOHN CLARK is
keeping the second hand record shop
going. The band was plenty good
Tuesday night. BERT'S girl friend
was watching the game.
Not too much can be said about the
liipe slimes basketeers. To date they
have won four out of five games, be-
ing? beaton only by the local State
Mutual team in the first game of
the season. The Mutual team is now
leading the strong city league and it
would be a safe bet that the re-
cent improvement by the Slimes in
team cooperation has placed them on
par with the Insurancemen.
The latest triumph of the Fresh-
man squad is the shellacking they
gave the varsity Saturday afternoon
to the tune of something like 72-52.
Of course the varsity was without
the services of Carswell and Steak-
ley but S. M. U. and A. and M. can
tell you Rice gets along pretty well
in that condition.
The Slimes have scored an average
of 50 points per game which is a
fair average in any man's league.

and forced poor Ab to forego his
dignity and chase her all over the
court, much to the delight of the three

'Gone With the Wind'
Dialect Is Explained
By Tutor of Actors
Since Houston is the South's most
cosmopolitan eity and composed of
many nationalities as well as Eng-
lish speaking folks from all parts of
the nation, Manager Francis Deering
of Loew's fears a great many of his
patrons will miss the meaning of por-
tions of dialogue in "Gone With the
Wind" opening heri* for an indefinite
run on Wednesday evening, Febru-
ary 7, unless he does some advance
explaining.
The following translations of
Southern dialect are supplied by Miss
Susan Myriek of Macon, Georgia, who
taught the speech to the stars during
their work on the big Technicolor
production.
Expressions and Meanings
All my born days — All my life.
Oveh yondah — Over there. Has no
rearin'—Not well-mannered. Roastin'

No truck with — No dealings with.

"Willing?" Allison wept and laugh-
