THE NORMAL STAR’S POLICY
FOR A GREATER NORMAL
1. Distinct separation between the
college and academy classes.
2. A more complete form of stud-
ent self government.
3. One hundred per cent member-
ship in the Alumni Association by
graduates.
THE WORK OF THE T. S. T. A.
The scholarship and professional
training of more than 17,000 Texas
Teachers are below any reasonable
minimum standards of professional
requirements. Well trained, scholar-
ly, forwardlooking teachers are in de-
mand more than ever before in the
history of our State. The wonderful
opportunities that are now here can-
not be fully realized until the supply
(of teachers |pvjjo' are able to compre-
hend apd to execute the necessary
plans shall have been greatly increas-
ed. I
' i £.
The campaign of the T. S. T. A.
to effect a proper increase in salaries
will continue vigorously, but results,
fully satisfactory, cannot be attained
until more of us forsake the forms
and fashions of mediocrity and be-
come vibrant illustrations of the best
there is in education. We must
prove constantly its economic value
as well as its spiritual values. Any
teacher on any Texas college, univer-
sity, city school, or country school
who fails to support the work of the
Texas State Teachers’ Association
cannot rightly claim to be doing his
full duty toward our profession and is
thereby delinquent in his duty to-
ward the student body of this great
State. ;
INTERCOLLEGIATE NOTES
BAYLOR
Bears lose two games to S. M. U.
altho by close scores. Scores 3-4 and
4-5.
Baylor Chamber of Commerce is
doing all it can to bring athletes to
the school and thru their aid Baylor
expects to have better athletics next
year.
Carl Sandburg, noted American
poet and newspaper man, lectured
Wednesday afternoon to a large au-
dience at Baylor University. Mr. Sand-
burg, who voices the longings and
emotions of the growing and restless
middle west, read selections from his
original poetic work, Chicago Poems,
end from his later editions of poems,
The Corn Huskers and Smoke and
Si eel. His singing of Teaxs folk and
cowboy songs and of American folk
kcngs seemed to meet the approval of
his audience as much as did Ms ma-
irfg of his own poetical work,

MRS. PENNYBACKER ADDRESSES
STUDENTS
The Chapel Period Tuesday was
given over to the representatives of
the Women’s Clubs who were meet-
ing in the Auditorium. Mrs. Lillie
V. Shaver, president of the Fifth
District, pdesided. The first speaker
was Mrs. Florence C. Florre, of
Dallas, the State President. In a few
short remarks she stated that for the
past fifteen years she had been anxi-
ous to visit the Normal because of
the things that she had heard of it
from our president, Mr.Evans and our
Dean and her co-worker, Mrs. Shaver,
whom she designated as one of the
foremost women of the State.
She then introduced Mrs. Percy
B. Pennybacker, former president of
the national federation and president
of the Woman’s Club of Chautauqua,
New York, who gave in a charming
manner an interesting talk which she
apologetically called a “sermon.” it
was a message full of strength and
vigor and meant especially for col-
lege students, wherein she briefly dis-
cussed some of the moral and ethical
questions of the day and their solu-
tion. She also told something of the
good of the work of the Federation
and urged that by the next Federa-
tion meeting other clubs than the
Idyllics might be members of the
Federation, thereby allying themsel-
ves with the wide-awake women of
the day, and availing themselves » f
the valuable aid which it gives its
members. j
Mrs. Haywood, of Pasadena, Cali-
fornia, then gave a few impronfptu
remarks regarding her work in the
Army camps during the war and ren-
dered some short poems in a delight-
ful manner.
LOST
Iiast night von veek ago last mont
While I vas sleeping vide awake mid
the bed in
I hurd a noise mid the back yard out
1 jump mid the bed in
Ron mid the door out
And I find somebody tied loose
My big eyed mare
And she ron avay mid the stable off
And who shall find my big eyed mare
And bring back to ine
He shall gift to me five dolla reward.
JAILED TOOT SWEET
“What’s the charge, officer?”
“Fragrancy, your honor. He’s been
drinking perfume.”
been secured as assistant coach of
the Owl line for 1922. The assistant
coach for the backfield will be an-
nounced in a few days.
Rice is making an effort to estab-
lish a Woodrow Wilson Club. The
purpose of the club as stated in the
constitution is “to perpetuate among
the students of the University ideals
of President Wilson and to assist :n
a true appreciation on the part of
the American people of his noble
leadership and great service to his
country and humanity to the end
that his principals of government
shall live and continue to find con-
crete expression.”
The Rice basket ball letter men
were presented with “R” sweaters at
a mass meeting of the boys in the
commons Thursday at noon. Seven
sweaters were presented in all, six to
the letter men of this year, namely.
Timmons, McKean, Brown, Lovett,
Kennedy and Todd and one to a let-
ter man from last year, Coleman.
Rice’s athletics conclusively proved
their superiority over their Baylor op-
ponents by vanquishing them with the
decisive score of 77 to 40 in the dual
meet held here last Saturday. Bay-
lor’s stars failed to shine while Coach
Arbuckle’s proteges took place after
place with comparative ease. Especial-
ly noticeable was the superior condi-
tion of the Owl runners who finished
standing up and in good condition
while the Baylor contestants fell to
the ground thoroly exhausted at the
end of each race. Rice captured ten
first places to Baylor’s four firsts be-
sides winning the mile relay in an
easy fashion.

This weather reminds us of how we
felt last Spring. The spring fever’s
a bad disease—it causes so many con-
flicts with study. The “flip a coin
and if it comes heads we will go
swimming and if it comes tails vve
will go to the show and if it stands
cn the edge we will study” attitude
snould not be taken so seriously these
days- • . u___Li-iihwi

REGRETTABLE OMISSION
“Cousin Henry,” gasped the coun-
try visitor from Woodpeecker Flats,
“you just missed that man.”
“Can’t .help it,” bellowed his city
relative, throwing her open another
notch, “haven’t got time to go bach
and try again.”—American Legion
Weekly.
CARELESS
The motor car of today is a splen-
did example of scientific progress.
And yet careless pedestrians are con-
tinually spoiling its delicate machin-
ery with small pieces of themselves.
—London Opinion.
Just before the service the minister
was called into the vestibule by a
young couple who asked that he
marry them. He answered he had
not time then but that if they would
wait until after the sermon he would
be glad to accomodate them. Ac-
cordingly, just before the benediction,
he announced:
“Will those who wish to be married
today please come forward.”
Thirteen women and one man
stepped up.
