Spook Shiver
By William Mallock
KING RATTLER
Ah! how good a sun-bath felt
On a crips and cool Spring after-
noon.
When the Spring had come with
its flowers
And delightfully refreshing
showers,
’Twas a custom of mine at times
To stretch out on a big flat rock
And let the hours drift idly by
Like butterflies on the wing.
But I no longer hear the honey
bee, sing *
Nor the lonely call of the whip-
poor-will,
For my beautiful body now
adorns
The shelves in the Science Hall.

SENOR PACK-RAT
Yah! I lak ze call uf ze honey

Und ze singing uf ze wheep-poor-
weel,
Bot I can no lif for long to lak
eet
Because thees whatcha callum
rattlesnake
Wan time swaller me way down
en hees neck,
Und stretcha heemsefs out
Ona beeg flat rock for to sun.

Kappa Gamma.
Hurryl
You have seven days more
in which to match your tick-
ets; four days more to go to
the show—July 12, 13, 17 and
18.
Consequently, you’ve got to
step on it! You’ve got to get
the lead out of your pants and
get your ticket matched.
The Star office has about
100 tickets that have been
mailed to students but have
come back unclaimed. Those
of you who have not received
your tickets and are interested
in getting them come to the
Star office. We have made it
a special point to have some-
body in the office every morn-
ing from 10 till 12:30; in the
afternoons, 3 till 5.
If these tickets are not sent
out, that means that about 200
students will not be able to
go to the show.
Also! Those of you who have
tickets but do not care about
going to the theatre, please
give hem to someone who will
try to match them—There is
no law against it!

11 ROUNDS OF JAX BEER
OVERCOME HYPO CORNERA
The Schoolmasters Club heard
our well-known and popular edu-
cator, Dr. Votaw, in a discussion
concerning the curve method of
grading, last Thursday July 5.
This Thursday the Club will
sponsor a watermelon splitting to
be given at Riverside. There will
be a short (very short due to ex-
ams) program and then the feast
will be on. All are invited to
come and bring guests.

Newmanites Report
Successful JTerm
-0-0-
The members of the Newman
Club spent a very enjoyable day
in San Antonio Sunday, July 1.
The Alamo and other missions
were visited. The group attended
the 12 o’clock Mass at St. Mary’s.
Lunch was eaten and the after-
noon was spent in Brackenridge
Park.
Sunday morning the last meet-
ing of the term was held. The
Newmanites have had a very
successful six-weeks. Their aim
is to have a bigger and better
club next term.
The next meeting will be held
Sunday, July 22, after the 8 o’-
clock Mass.
With due apologies to the edi-
tor of the Pine Log and also to
those who enjoy cleverly written
articles, we give you our impres-
sion of the Jax Beer-Hypo Cornera
bout at the Palace last Monday
and Tuesday.
Eleven rounds of . Jax Beer
proved too strong for Hypo Cor-
nera before an audience of 52,000
spectators. Hypo had been on a
steady diet of spaghetti.
When the smoke of battle, cig-
ars, and bottles had been cleared
away, Bartender Donovan declar-
ed Jax Beer the victor on the
grounds that, though slightly
punch drunk, he (Jax) was the
only one still sober enough to
raise his right hand.
Cornera, however, protested that
B'eer’s punch was low. Jax de-
nied this, claiming his punch was
at least 5 percent by volume,
which should be high enough for
anybody.
During the ensuing excitement
several cuspidors were thrown at
the referee. But the ringside ra-
dio announcer had already stated
that Jax Beer was the new heavy-
weight champion, because his
punch was high enough, since the
law did not require but 4 percent
by volume.
At the ringside could be seen
the familiar faces of Jack Tipsey
and Gene Funney.
The new heavyweight chump,
Jax Beer, was too bashful to
speak into the microphone at the
end of the fight. Hypo Cornera
could not be found. It was re-
ported that he had gone over to
Joe’s place for an eye-opener.

In Enrollment
This summer, for the first time
since the depression began, the
enrollment of this college has al-
most approached the record mark.
Figures from the Auditor’s Of-
fice show that 2,046 students are
enrolled in this college. Many of
those enrolled are degree teach-
ers who are coming back to get
the required work in Physical
Education while there are many
others who have returned to do
further work toward their de-
grees.
This large increase in enroll-
ment is evident in all the teach-
er colleges of the State. North
Texas ranks first with an enroll-
ment of 2,960; East Texas, second
with 2,300; Southwest Texas,
third with 2,036; Sam Houston,
fourth with 1,448; West Texas,
fifth with 1,052; and Stephen F.
Austin, sixth with 985. Figures
are not available for Sul Ross at
Alpine.

ATTENTION EVERYBODY!
Perhaps there are a number
of students here this summer
who have a supply of gold,
copper, silver, or what have
you. Perhaps, and there is no
doubt about this, that you
would like to increase this
supply. A member of the
Sophomore chemistry class has
just discovered a secret that
enables him to practically
double or triple the percent of
these various metals in the ore
that you bring. In fact, he can
raise the percent to any amount
that he desires. Why only the
other day Charlie A. Raines
(he is the genius that made the
discovery) analyzed some iron
ore for Mr. Hopson and by ac-
tual test and experiment—
think of it—actual experimen-
tation, he found that the sam-
ple contained 121% of the metal
just a moment ago referred to.
Now the inventor has with-
held the secret procedure from
the press but it has been ru-
mored that the articles com-
monly known as erasers and
pencils were used. However,
the authenticity of that state-
ment is doubtful and the press
would seriously object if any-
body would accuse the afore-
mentioned discoverer of that
method. Nevertheless, we are
sure that Raines would be glad
indeed to analyze your ores,
and we promise you that the
results will be satisfactory.
Just mention the percent you
desire and the results of the ex-
periment will be made accord-
ingly.
LIFE SAVING CLASSES
New life saving classes will
be organized for the second
half of the summer session
Tuesday and Wednesday, July
17, 18. Those wishing to take
the work should report to me
at Riverside on one of those
afternoons at 4:00.

All Seniors wishing to order
invitations see Leroi Barrow
in the Main Building. He will
be there this week.
It was very warm and she kin-
da wanted to ride anyway, so
when a certain guy asked a cer-
tain girl to allow him to take her
up the hill, she gladly consented.
He showed every courtesy in
assisting her into his car but
when they were both comfortably
seated things started happening.
Without any warning whatever
the girl started screaming and
madly scrambling over the whole
car. And in the course of events
she finally secured a firm hold on
the gentleman’s neck.
Of course other boys who were
gathered around the Gates House
were interested in the method
used by the car owner in causing
the girl to take such actions.
After closer observations were
made the car was found to have
a shocking apparatus with wires
running direct to the seat, and by
the pressing of a button the driv-
er could send an electric shock to
any person who happened to be
sitting beside him.
After all who wants to sit on
a “hot” seat, so one could hardly
blame the co-ed for taking the
actions she did.
Quite shocking!

Memory, with its distracting
little tricks of betraying us at
the most unfortunate times and
its cunning way of coming tardi-
ly to our aid to relieve a desper-
ate coma of blankness, was ex-
ercised recently in a “poetic test”
given by Miss Allison to her Eng-
lish 62 class. The test was given
to see what the spontaneous re-
action would be to the assign-
ment of writing lines of poetry
unceasingly for fifteen minutes.
When quickly flying pens, as well
as those cruelly bitten for their
truancy, had been laid aside, let
us see how the little experiment
fared.
Only American poetry of the
nineteenth century was remem-
bered, while English poetry of the
sixteenth, seventeenth, eighteenth
and nineteenth centuries was
quoted. Longfellow, the chil-
dren’s poet, headed the entire
group with the Puritanical “Psalm
of Life”! (Miss Allison says she
can hardly realize the possibility
of such a thing in this day and
age.) “The Village Blacksmith,”
“Children’s Hour,” and “Rainy
Day’T, by the same author, have
also stayed these many years with

CALL FOR
IVEY’S ICE CREAM
At
THE EXCHANGE and THE BOBCAT
some of us. Bryant’s “To a Wat-
erfowl” and “Thanatopsis” were
planted in a number of minds,
and Whittier’s “Barefoot Boy,”
“In School Days” and “Maud
Mufler” have left their stamp
with others. Lowell’s “Sir Laun-
fal” had captured a few, while
Holmes’ “Chambered Nautilus”
and “Concord Hymn” have stayed
with two. Poe’s “Israfel” and
James W. Riley’s “Little Orphan
Annie” each were remembered
by one person. Snatches of other
poems and songs were quoted, but
those named above head the list
of American poems. In fact, most
quoting was done in “snatches.
Those beautiful and immortal
lines from some of the early Eng-
lish poets, who fathered our
poets of the nineteenth century,
have remained with a few. She-
venson’s “Child Poems” were re-
called by a number of students
and “The Ancient Mariner” by
Coleridge left some of its poig-
nant descriptions with a few. In
his plays, the great Shakes-
peare has passed some of the
lines to a lucky group who has
retained them, and Milton, Ben
Jonson, Tennyson, Wordsworth,
Blake, Scott, Gray, Browning and
Kipling sowed seeds that have
grown and flowered into beauti-
ful remembrances to the few who
quoted them.
But let us look again at the
poem quoted by the greatest num-
ber of students, the “Psalm of
Life.” It is indeed remarkable
that a class of youthful people,
living in the twentieth century,
should go back so far for their
poetic inspiration—back to a cen-
tury with customs and ideas so
far removed from our own. Why
can we not take up the newer
poetry, both English and Ameri-
can? What is wrong with Us?
Possibly, like the people of

Shakespeare’s t,ime, we are too
close to our present day poets.
Perhaps we have not taken the
trouble to conduct a poetry
search of our own. We are con-
tent to read and commit to mem-
ory things that our mothers and
grandmothers read. It is certain-
ly to our benefit and the enrich-
ing of our lives t.o remember the
lovely poems of days gone by, but
we are in a new century. Why
cannot we, who teach the youth,
implant the seeds of current
thought in poetic mould?

how a dog can belong to a man
