THE NEW ANNEX RULES.
Let us resolve: That we will study
harder, make all our courses, and be
back next year with a clean slate to
begin the year anew. * > -
Visitors here to the many attractions
in the last three weeks have spoken
freely of their gracious reception, and
the numerous courtesies extended them.
This' inimitable hospitable spirit has
been known over the State for a quar-
ter of a century.
The year is not over. The literary
society doors have not been barred un-
til the opening of the fall term in Sep-
tember. If your name is on the soci-
ety rolls you are obligated to be pres-
ent. Let's not let tlie springfobia place
the literary societies in their grave be-
fore time. . 4
The University authorities haVe em-
ployed an expert advertiser for the cam-
paign which they are to launch this
summer. This man has carried on cam-
paigns successfully for a number of
Northern universities. Ho has numer-
ous plans and novel schemes with which
he is going to fill the Annex and Mood
Hall next fall.
Harry DeVore, who made booster
speeches for Southwestern at every en-
gagement of the Glee Club, states that
he received many encouraging state-
ments for next year's student body.
He has turned into the office a long list
of those who have expressed their in-
tention of coining here next fall. Among
the number are found the best high
school athletes and debaters in North
and East Texas. Next year is to be
Southwestern's Augustian year. Come
to Southwestern.
Thursday night the law making body
for the Annex precincts was eonvoked.
This executive body formulated a now
law which was handed down to go into
effect Friday morning and the repeal of
the then standing one. This new enact-
ment had to do with the young ladies
talking to gentlemen at the Adminis-
tration building. The regulation as
has been was that no resident of the
Annex was permitted to talk to a young
man more than three minutes at one
time. If violated the inexorable law
was that drastic action would follow.
This law has been declared null and
void as the articles of Confederation.
It was not repealed because its prohi-
bitions would! not prohibit, but because
more lenient rules were declared In per-
fect order. Its successor is charmingly
humorous. It reads that no "inmate"
of the Annex will be allowed to talk
more than fifteen minutes the entire
day to as many boys as she desires and
has opportunity.1' But she can not ex-
ceed the fifteen-minute rule in talking
to all interesting conversationalists.
Penalty for open violation yet to be dis-
covered. We can see two features of
the new statute over the old: it does
away with all annoyances that were in-
flicted upon the professors by the un-
controllable tongue, and, second, the
young ladies are vested with more talk-
ing power. The first reason is the
strongest argument for its passage, for
the halls after chapel hour have been a
cliatter-box and it took time to restore
quiet for the classes following the ex-
ercises. We' are not advocates of wo-
man suffrage or some of her other sup-
posed rights, but in this instance we
can not see that the limit goes beyond
the pale of what the law ought to be.
But we, with a number of other curious
ones, would like those who formulated
such a law to tell just how they are to
enforce its provisions. We can not un-
derstand how its provisions can be suc-
cessfully executed. In its entirety it
appears to us as if the lid has been
completely taken off and talk has been
made free. We would, like an exposi-
tion of its articles for the general pub-
lic in order that the record might be
kept straight for our next week's issue.
DR. CODY TALKS AT Y. M. 0. A.
Takes the Salutation and Makes An,
Excelent Talk Tberefrom.
Sunday evening the Y. M. C. A. was
conducted by Dr. Cody. His remarks
were very unique and extraordinary,
but nevertheless highly interesting.
They were on our common forms of Sftlj.
utation, such as "How do you doff
"Good morning," etc. It would bfe
amusing to noteNthat nine persons put
of every ten persons whom you meet'
answer this salutation by the word,
"Fine!" or "Just fine!" What doegf
the word "fine" mean? If you will
look in your dictionary you will find
that word has twelty-six synonyms.
Every nationality has its own peculiar
mode of greeting, each one of these con-
taining a significance of its own.
Dr. Cody said that one could gain a
broad view of life by the contemplation
of the heavens. Did you ever stop to
think that all of the stars we see are
only from the first to the seventh mag-
nitude? There are multiplied millions
of them that we have never seen. All
these contribute their rays to the visible
stars in order to make them brighter.
If this were not the case they would not
twinkle so. It is the silent invisible
forces at work which move things. If
you can't be a sun, you can at least be
a satellite. Dr. Cody's remarks were
thoroughly enjoyed by all, both in their
character and in their content.

PRIZES TAKEN AT
FIREMEN'S PICNIC
Tucker and Armstrong, the Best-Look-
ing Couple—Coffee, the Most
Handsome Fireman.
Doc Simons dropped off for dinner
Sunday with his brother, Bill, on his
return from the State meet held in Aus-
tin, in which his school, Bolton, was
represented.
Miss Lilian Slack, sister of Bill Slack
of Taylor, was a guest of Miss Hattie
Stanford for the May fete. Miss Slack
is a prospective student for next year.
The best barber work. Palace.
Southwestern was well represented at
the big Annual Firemen's Picnic, as it
was a holiday on account of the rest
needed by those who participated in
the May fete and in commemoration of
the breaking of ground for our now
Science Building. All the boys who
were '' raised'' in the country took ad-
vantage of the dinner which recalled to
them the all-day picnics in the commu-
nity where they live. In the parade
the University was represented by a
tastefully decorated car which carried
out the colors under which we bo loyal-
ly stand. In the car were Misses Dixie
Tucker, Ruth Goddard and Vera Smith;
Messrs. James Armstrong, Harold Day-
vault and Dr. Wunder. Prizes were
awarded to Miss Dixie Tucker and
James Armstrong for the best-looking
couple. The prize was one dollar in
cash. Rector Coffee, another one of
our students, received one dollar's worth
of bread tickets for being the handsom-
est member of the volunteer fire depart-
ment, which he rightly deserved. We
congratulate him on taking such a mer-
ited prize. Floyd Betts won a piece of
cutlery in coming out first in the fifty-
yard dash.
SIMPSON WRITES FROM VELASCO
The edtor and management are in re-
ceipt of a letter from our friend H. Bas-
com Simpson of Velasco. He states
that he s still interested in the welfare
of old Southwestern, as thou he were an
active student. He is superintendent
of the Velasco High School, and from
his letter we infer that he is giving gen-
eral satisfaction. His school won in
the county interscholastic contests and
in the district meet came out third with
eleven competing schools and fourteen
counties. Bascom sends best wishes to
all hs friends and says that he s work-
ing for Southwestern's future success.
Dr. and Mrs. C. M., Bishop of George-
town have announced the engagement
of their daughter, Phoebe Eleanor, to
Mr. Gaston Drake Pharis, of Wilming-
ton, North Caroline. The wedding is
to take place in June. We wish these
charming young people a career of great
usefulness and great happiness—Chris-
tian Advocate.
