During the leave of the students
Xmas, the University authorities
made some improvements in the
way of safety first. Fire escapes
were placed on the Administration
building. Mood Hall, and the Prep.
The Woman's Building was already
equipped with same. This late ad-
dition was put into effect, we un-
derstand, to remain in closc keep-
ing with the stringent laws of this
State with reference to all public
buildings where public life is plac-
ed in jeopardy. Hereafter all dan-
ger from loss of life which would
be caused by fire is done away with.
S. U. STUDENTS.
We have been duly authorized by
the manager of this year's Sou'-
wester to make your pictures for

gown for the graduates, and guar-
antee you as good a picture as you
will get in the State. We ask you
to look at our pictures in the last
Annual. They will stand compari-
son with any you will see. We
made about one-third of the An-
nual pictures last year and respect-
fully ask your patronage this year.
You pay us when you are satisfied
and not before. We make the
best Kodak pictures in the State
EVERY DAY.

THE "POETS" COLUMN
Owing to the overflow and spontan-
iety of feeling on the part of the many
would-be Shakespeares, it has become
necessary to institute a column for that
purpose in order that vent may be given
to this peculiar affliction. If any are
affected with this ailment and have
some verse at your disposal, this col-
umn will be open to you.
OlJ TO DALLAS.
1
Our hearts beat high with mirth that
night
We were Dallas bound to win the fight,
Music filled the warrior's ear,
All the early morn could hear.
The morning broke—her golden beams
Lost their radiance o'er the streams,
O'er scattered hamlets here and there
And towns of Texas—none so fair.
The woodland leaves were red and
brown,
The winter scaltered frost around,
Yet on and on our army flew,
While the songbirds whistled and the
wild winds blew.
Where Trinity River winds her way,
We entered Dallas town that day;
Where aristocratic forces meet
To make a college more complete.
We fought the fight of warriors brave,
And swept old Dallas with victory's
wave.
We made the Trinity River run,
Ere the game had well begun.
A valiant fight our boys made,
The laurels on S. U. were laid;
Then closed again the shades of night,
Shut that dreamland from our sight.
—Win. Nevil.

Some times my mind leads me
Back thru days now past,
When yet on father's knee
At moonrise I .would be.
Of those days that, are past
Some times I sit and think,
Till in my mind at last
The thoughts begin to sink.

. r 1
I think of boyhood friends
With whom I used to roam,
And tales with maiiy ends
I heard about my home;
Of noisy, rushing streams
And mountains high and low,
With ferns and trees, it seems,
Wherever I would go.
Down where the river flowed
Through pastures that were green
I'd see the cattle go
To drink and wade the stream.
So wonderful they seem,
Times now past in our lives,
As like a wondrous dream
Thru which one's soul oft drives.

Welcome to Travis! was the
greeting to the visitors of the Trav-
is society when it opened its first
meeting of the winter term. Af-
ter the opening hymn and a prayer
by Dickahute, the minutes were
read and approved, the house was
canvassed for new members. Stan-
ley Carter being the only one who
wished to join, he was received in-
to the society.
The meeting was strictly a busi-
ness session. This being the time
set apart for the installation of of-
ficers, the following were installed:
Dickehute, president; Van Pelt,
vice president; Allan, critic; Ray-
mer, secretary; Weisef, assistant
secretary; Smith, censor; Hamil-
ton, treasurer; Hutchins, chaplain;
Carter, press reporter; Long, ser-
geant-at-arms ;Vaught, correspond-
ing secretary.
After much discussion it was de-
cided that the intercollegiate de-
baters should be elected and Dick-
ehute and Stanley Carter were
elected.

come at our store and to our ser-
vice at all times.
