Nothing makes you feel more off
guard than to try convincing an
uneducated person of your inno-
cence on some matter. He some-
times has a style
of reasoning com-
pletely his own.

A RADIO PROGRAM?
Who said they wanted T.W.C. to have a radio pro-
gram this year1? By means of broadcasting, our
school can'be put on the map when exhibiting the
best materiaf we have. Instead of the customary15
minutes, which has heretofore been devoted to 1. W.
0., we hope to be given 30 minutes.
- Under the able leadership of Lowell Rainwater,
junior, who will be the announcer, the Rams will be
known for miles around. ' , , ,
Are you willing to do your part tor the school by
taking part on these programs? If you have no tal-
ent that you feel is outstanding, find someone who
has. Make the program the Jaest school broadcast m
Texas!

YOUR PEP!

\
Your pep—you got it, now keep it—Even though
the student body cannot attend all football games
played by the Rams, they eai be there in spirit.
HSuVely if these Rams can travel long distances . to
ljLLijet opposition on the opponent's ground, the lo.ui
students - will give tliem inspiration to win. .
Attend pep rallies and yell when you get there, ho
to bonfires and cheer the boys! Let them know you
are with them through anything, win or lose.
Telegrams sent to the team when they are on fore-
"gn field would perhaps lit't their spirits.

FACING WAR
©
When a baby bumps his head, he does not cry be-
cause it hurts very little. But the mother cries out,
thinking the baby is hurt, and the thought spreads to
the baby, who then starts crying, honestly believing
he is hurt.
In accidents there may be blood, torn bodies, and
weird screams. Was anynne hurt ? If there was as
much as an arm torn op, there was no one hurt.
Then why the screams? {The answer is that by cus-
tom we are led to believe are hurt, and the
screams come natural in an unfounded fear. Those
knocked unconscious felt nothing; neither did those
not knocked unconscious feel much pain.
Which all may apply to war. There may not be
glory in war, but neither is there glory as has been
painted by the fearful. Then let us face wars brave-
ly, fot the Bible "spates they must come.
Let us accept oiiKdestination on the prophesied
battlefield, ■ knowing!war has its divine purpose—to
propel progress, which is struggle, not agony.—T,C.
O
LIFE
Life is a stern old master, omnipresent and very,
very wise. He compels us all to attend his classes;
he rules us there with an iron hand.
Old Professor Life is not as bad as the introduction
would suggest; in fact, he is quite a jovial fellow to
those who know him best. He likes a good joke, likes
to tease, and likes to be with a .company of good
sports, yet when the occasion demands, he can be
cruelly and painfully serious. He can present stark
realism in such a manner that the beholder winces at
the demonstration.
Friendship grows with association. Friends would
mci 5 \ acquaintances if they were seen but a few
inomnaia^a, week. \ This being the case,, associate with
LifgrniOre, tmnk and live deeply and do not rr*£ard
him as .a ^njrfdfui, mysterious professor who makes
V^mseH^naccessible, tBftile-fray of examination. Re-
< gard nim rather as a kindly friend who is willing to
help and instruct. Cultivate his acquaintance and
friendship, and question him sensibly. Smile at him
and heiW^mile back at you.
PHILOSOPHICAL PHRASES
One who despises himself is nearest to a proud
man.—Spinoza.
He knows n o
psychology. H e
cannot see the wis-
dom of your de-
Kincaid fense becasue he
doesn't know the "natural thing to
do" standpoint. You explain that
your actions were directly vlctim-
ated by circumstance's, and y°u feel
he does not catch the flaw in your
argument; yet somehow the way
Jt\e looks weeds out the whole de-
ception. Apd finally you go awav
reddened, confused, and we&k as a
kitten.
„ ******
Some of the least educated peo-
ple have the best philosophies of
life anywhere. I know a fellow,
unable to read or write, who drop-
ped a monkey wrench into his pall
by accident. Upon seeing his boil-
ed egg smashed and greased to the
yellow, his only comment was: "If
there wasn't no troubles, guess I'd
done been out of work long ago".
* * * * * * ,
Here is the feeling that accom-
panies temntalion partaken of:
"Reason tolcrrne to refuse, but did
not supply me with reasons for do-
ing so".
"Would ye both have your choice
and eat your cake?" This prov-
erb, modern as it may seem, was
first said by John Heywood 372
years ago. ~1k

The oldest and crudest joke still
going around concerns the appar-
ent interest our state is^king in
lovely-dovey drivers. It might be
well, too, if, we all heeded the sign
on the side of the road, "Beware
of Soft Shoulders".
******
Imagine how long it would take
Stepin Fetchit to ramble through
this: "Well, so long; I got to go
now; but if I shoufd return before
get back, please tell me to wait
for myself; because, you see, I'd
like to see me about something 1^
neglected to see myself about b
fore 1 came in j"c( now'"

The strangest story Mr. Bowman
tells in psychology class concerns
the time he was elected to teach
in a rural community off some-
where or other. A Methodist since
no telling when, the dean of men
felt greatly out of place when, up-
on his arrival, he was told that
heads in the Baptist church had
already chosen him for superin-
tendent of their Sunday schools.
But, oddest yet, he accepted—
and kept the good Baptist folk sat-
isfied his entire stay in that com-
munity!

Walking into classes late and
leaving early is becoming a thing
of the past for St. Thomas College
students. An electric eye detects
the miscreants. Even while the
professor's back is turned a person
can't slip in or out, undetected, for
he must cross the light beam and
when he does, a gong clangs.

mark that it would be nice if col-

PERSONALITY
Of The Week
This week's personality goes' to the one and only
"Miss Marlene Toli"—the only one in captivity of'
her kind. Miss Toli, who recently signed a two-year
contract with Red Minshew and his Sage*Brush In-
cinerators, made her first Fort Worth appearance
with the swingsters at the benefit program Thursday
evening. \
The graceful manlier of the young performer, along
with natural danchag talent, the knowledge of how to
apply make-up,.-and the striking way in which she
wears her clothes, makes Miss Toli the most sough t-
afterN^em" on the campus.
M^rtene was elected president of the freshman
clap, and is sure to bring the clasps through in flying
colors. «

something there.

KKTHERINE VICTORIA PIJR-

young.
MRS. NEWT HAYES—I like a
boy who brags a lot 'cause he is
my type.
EVELYN CLAY—Some of them
enjoy talking and don't mean a bit
of it, and they really are swell.
BOBBY HORBURG—I think that
the modest type boy who never
talks, never talks.
Six Ways To Win Friends
u - 11
Dale Carnegie, author of the
famous best seller "How to Win
Friends and Influence People,"
which should be of great interest
to college students, gives these
six ways to make people , like you.
Rule 1. Become genuinely inter-
ested in,.other people.
Rule 2. Smile.
Rule, 3- Remember ttyil a man's
name is to him the sweetest and
most important sound in the Eng-
lish language.
Rule 4. Be a good listener; en-
courage others to talk about them-
selves.
Rule 5. Talk in terms of the
other person's interest. „
Rule 6. Make the" other person
feel important, and do it sincerely.

College Comment
It's too bad that the stronger sex
could not attend formal affairs
given by Koro and S.M.K. members
during their Rush Week activities
this week.
« —'—
A word of praise should be given
to G. C. Lee for the splendid work
he did on making posters advertis-
ing the benefit program, and bou-
quets to Lowell Rainwater and Joe
Wills for putting the benefit pro-
gram over.
Wouldn't this be a grand world
if all patients were as cheerful as
Newton Hayes is? . Although he
will be out of the line-up for three
weeks, Hayes is recovering quickly.
And it is a firm belief that the
most attractive and most « sought
out person on the campus last week
was "Miss Marlene Toli"—newly
named sweetheart of the Sage
Brush Incinerators. She made her
first Fort Worth appearance with
the swing band at the benefit pro-
gram Thursday night. *

Lowell Rainwater, T.W.C. junior, who was
sible for putting the benefit program over,
you freshmen don't'know Lowell, he is the
headed crooner who served as master, of n>ni
at the benefit program Thursday night.
Lowell will be in charge of the T.W.C. ni(j
gram this year. (The success of the 30-ininutJ
casts will depend upon talent sponsored by thjj
man.

History proves that anything can be proved bv

Love itself is only a desire for possession; court-
ship is combat and mating is mastery.—-Nietzsche.

A recent study made by a group
at Cornell University reported
that girls who quit jobs to get
married have the best chance for
marital success.
"It saddens me to meditate
How many people overate
Themselves and feel convinced
they're far
More brilliant than I know they

I'm free of such deceptive slam—
I'm smarter than I think I am."

MEMOIR: The fish femmes' pa-
jama parade. It was great stuff
say the males.
"I had often wondered," explain-
ed one, "just what that little
blonde wore as she slid that beau-
tiful body of hers under the cov-
ers. And now I know.,..'
Th%re were silks and rayons-a
couple of satins—in the show-off
We even saw a pair of dainty little
feet, with toe nails splotched! a
bright color. *
And so the slime marches on!
"Into the world and why, not
knowing "*
"Like water, willy-nilly flowing -"
How like that we are as we en-
ter college! From the office down
to derisive cat-calls of the lowest
sophomore, there is a bewildering
hub-bub of aimlessness, unless—
you have an objective. In the
words of the old philosophers,
"Hitch the \$agon to ^ star or
what's a heaven for?"
Ydu wonder why I, a lowly
Fr(feh', should be trying to digegt
such weighty matter. To be hon-
est and put credit whene credit is
due, another "little thing" to re-
member, I've been listening into
the conversations between upper-
classmen. All talk seems to point
directly to the" idea of not doing
what should have been done while
an underclassman. Some were
talking about not having a degree
schedule until their senior year and
when the senior year
round there are some rat]
etic cases.
All things included and
attended shows the follyl
tion from a set course, f
rough and sometimes har|
el.

up to make their majors and min-

trying-i to steer the student their

the individual student's wishes. And
