ONE ADVERTISING SCHEME THAT PROVED
A PUBLIC SERVICE
LAST Saturday two radio programs were broad-
cast from the campus of Hardin-Simmons uni-
versity over the Texas Quality network. After
next week eight of the leading colleges and uni-
versities of the state will have been on the air in
18 broadcasts with programs typical of college
entertainment and football enthusiasm.
This unusual opportunity for colleges to furnish
the ever-growing radio public with an insight on
campus life rtt various institutions was provided
through a clever and timely advertising campaign
executed by the Coca-Cola Bottling Company of
Texas. Capitalizing upon the high interest in the
chief American sport football this corporation
hit upon the idea of transmitting the wave of
pep and enthusiasm that sweeps the college cam-
pus annually on the eve of a major grid conflict
to the folks back home. To make the undertaking
complete a well known sport commentator was
secured for the programs and the plan extended to
include broadcasts from the several campuses fol-
lowing the games. All in all well-rounded pro-
grams of interest to a great class were broadcast.
Our customary policy docs not permit us to laudc
the publicity schemes of business enterprises how-
over in this case we feel commendation is justified.
The sponsorship of such broadcasts affords young
musicians and entertainers a rare opportunity to
gain experience in the broadcasting field. Prob-
ably of greater significance is the fact tho.t the
personnel of the non-football playing student body
is given a place and a part in the extensive pro-
gram headed by the general title "Football." Also
tho initiative and originality of the various par-
ticipants was exploited to the fullest. There was
no set form for the program and the result was a
varied entertainment creating great popular inter-
est. The sponsor of these college broadcasts deserves
the thanks and expressed appreciation of Texas
people. In addition to advertising their product in
a very effective manner a great benefit was de-
rived by the student bodies the universities from
a publicity standpoint and the enjoyment of these
programs by the radio populace is a certainty.

MAKE A HOSPITABLE HOST
Dear Editor:
Ilardiu-Simmons has a good football team and
is well represented on the basketball court. These
two are the only sports that our students know;
consequently these are the only ones that most of
us care for.
Wouldn't it be better for us to have some good
teams in the minor sports to back our football
prestige than to be completely blinded to the sports
that we can use after graduating from college?
"With little expense we could have tennis track
boxing wrestling volley ball ping pong soccer
croquet and many others that students would like
to know. Many of these sports arc practiced by
the selected few who have access to the gym-
nasium but the students who are not Physical Ed.
majors have no place to play or nothing to play
with. The common herders can't even play on the
tennis courts since the girls started their annual
"court hogging."
I believe that the administration and students
are willing to cooperate but have just neglected
the matter.
Yours for more sports
WILLIE KNOTHOLE.

Dear Editor:
The past week has shown us that the administra
tion not only is willing but WANTS to come half
way and more.
We had a bonfire and it was a darn good one.
We had a real homecoming realizing the signifi-
cance of being a part of a real live wire institution.
Even the exes commented upon our pep. Every
thing rolled along as easily as peas off a knife.
Wc enjoy working with the administration
they are as good sports as we could ask. It is a
nicer feeling to think wc are really men and women
instead of weasels caught in a hen-coop.
But is there not some way that wc can cooperate
and get back our 'slime caps'? Can't wc work
hand in hand to overcome whatever drawbacks or
evils the wearing of the green and gold might en-
tail? Surely wc can solve this question in an
agreeable manner for both parties concerned.
Love and kisses

November 25 marks the opening of the forty-
sixth annual Baptist Training Union convention of
Texas with Hardin-Simmons serving in the role
of host.
This convention will be made up of representa-
tives of an organization boasting 1(57000 member-
ship including boys and girls of all ages.
Opportunities for service to our school are great-
er at this time other thuu during the annual day
set aside for the entertainment of prospective stu-
dents. These young men and women will not be
looking for "come hither" smiles. Wc may serve
the cause that has made higher education possible
for us by extending real honest to goodness hos-
pitality. If the roommate is going to be home for the
holiday why not drag out the clean sheets rake
the trash out of your room and help take care of
these visitors : Hospitality costs us little and might
yield great returns.

REFLEXION . . .
Local and Foreign Events of the Week
in Review
THE RIGHT ATTITUDE
PAYS .... AND PAYS
. PUBLICITY
AND PAYS
Because of the recent Wcsleyan-Hardin-Simmons
football game the name Kansas Wcsleyan is
known to thousands who perhaps had not heard
of it before. It was on the lips of hundreds of
southern football fans for at least a week previous
to the game and the Brand Hardin-Simmons
weekly publication carried banner head lines "Un-
defeated Kansans Invade Texas" and a picture
with tliis caption beneath it "Kansas Wcsleyan
Coyotes are one of the nineteen football teams in
the United States yet undefeated." All of this
has its effect on fans everywhere. Kansas Wes-
leyan is a school to those people now and any grad
who gives tills school as his alma mater will not be
met with a blank questioning look and asked the
location of such a school. Rather this sort of reply
will be forthcoming "Oh yes j'our football team
was down here last year." "We have read about
your school in the papers. It must be.quite nice."
As students it may not seem important that we
be known or read about but it does make a great
deal of difference to the alumni of a university to
be known and well thought of. We should all be
eager therefore to advance every possible bit of
publicity for Kansas Wcsleyan m all of her activi
tics. The Wcsleyan Advance.

Yea man 1 Those Cowboys really did do the job
up brown last Saturday. That puts a real honest
to goodness walk-over win in the won column of
the score book. . . . You know after all some folks
go ahead and do a thing while others sit and dream
fantastic dreams about accomplishing it. . . . While
on the subject of victories had it occurred to you
that every school in Abilene had a game last week
and each of them emerged from their melee vic-
torious. A. C. C. takes the cake on upsetting the
Daniel Baker crew the only Texas Conference team
ranking 1000 per cent and the Wildcat aggrega-
tion had been steadily maintaining the bottom since
tho first of the season.

FALLACIES IN PROF. CLASS
ROOM TECHNIQUE AIRED
Over a million students entered institutions of
higher learning this fall. Thirty-three of every
hundred of the 1036 graduating classes are now
college freshmen.
Something new in names for clubs "Bulls" a
young but willing group of boys and "Bull Pups"
an established club of girls on the southwestern
State Teachers College campus.
A freshman at the University of California signed
up for thirty-six classes with many conflicts. When
informed that he could not be in six classes at one
time he replied: "Well I really didn't intend to go
to all of them."
"If you can walk I can teacli you to dance"
is the motto of Professor R. Saunders Bagby of
Long Beach Calif. who lias been engaged by the
college service committee for tho benefit of those
btudents who desire to be popular in social life.
Strict privacy is to bo maintained.
Joe College and Betty Go-ed spend $28274 for
tooth paste annually. The Joes spend $188373 for
dining and dancing to Betty's $2823.
Co-eds at the University of Nortli Dakota will
select a dream man this year to preside at the
Mortar Board Hop.
Undergraduates at Stevens Institute of Tech-
nology want to learn more about the clocks they
watch. An informal course on time watches and
clocks is being launched again this year.

man is guilty of directing class with
bead buried in the text.
A Wolf howls: There is another
math tencber that talks too fast to
begin with and when the student tries
to recite the answer is taken out of
his mouth before he can say a word.
Another professor cannot stny on the
track but must always teach a moral
lesson or so every period. Also there
is that instructor (in his own esti-
mation a local Bob Bums) whose
jokes fall as flat as the typical chapel
pun.
Next was a "moo girl" who liked
everyone "just fine" except one prof
that is too formal in his classes she
"just can't loosen up nnd let her hid-
den possibilities come to the sur
face."
Classroom Martyr
There is one professor that needs
to take a bottle of peppo or something
to put some fir nnd vinegar in his
courses thereby creating a little in-
terest. To sit through a semester of
lectures under this prof without com-
mitting murder should rate an "A"
says a typical athlete.
A band man "reckons" that there
is one teacher that confines all his
questions to two or three "star pu-
pils" nnd is too sarcastic with his
"popping off."
Two "sore-heads" of Ferguson hall
dislike the way one prof lets flies
crawl all over his face while he is
expounding the principles of his
chosen subject.
A Mary Frances freshman donates:
"There is one that is a darn interest-
ing speaker but he twirls his keys
on a chain continually." Another one
seems to bother the young lady by
"doodling" with pencil and paper or
on the blackboard.
Suggest Hell-Cows
Ferguson sophomore; "There
should be n law forcing tho profs in
tho hall to wear a cowbell around
their necks. A teacher should never
wait until tho end of the term to as-
sign reports. There is one teacher
that is entirely too indefinite in her
explanations."
A campus "ho man" says that we
have one prof that comes to class
every day with a "sour puss" and
"sore heads" around dealing out
"sour grapes" for fifty long minutes
without a letup.
One prof is so narrow minded that
he will not allow a mirror hang in
his house for fear that it might be
amusing to some of his family do-
nated one of his classroom martyrs.
A lovely little lady says that one
of our fine arts departments should
determine what if any tho require-
ments are nnd then stick together on
them.
Two "prominent figures" of tho 40
acres have decided that one prof files
off the handle too ensily shouts nnd
always tries to run tho whole show
with nn iron hand nnd nngcr flushed
features.
Disgust At Anger
A mouse like student: "Assigning
of long lessons tends to make the stu-
dent lose interest in nny subject
especially when they are taking four
other subjects."
Two co-eds inform that one prof
mnkes such hideous faces that they
lose the trend of thought nnd that
an English teacher uses incorrect
pronunciations. Thoy arc always
drendingf to go to one class because
they get so many tests "never ngnin
will they sign up under that prof."
Some lady of tho faculty has
aroused a great deal of ire by her
lack of consideration nnd liberal giv-
ing of demerits for minor infractions
of rules . . . opinion of n studious
young lady.
Mnry Frances Ingrate: "Too many
rules are shoved at us by the admin-
istration. They are ignored nnd only
kindle our fertile brains toward ways
and means to brenk them."
A freshman says that some one
always comments that the assigned
lesson is "just three pages long nnd
hnlf of that is pictures." This obser-
vation has grown monotonous with
age.
Then came a vivacious bundle of
feminine charms that giggled the fact
that there was a chem lab instructor
that was an old "mcanic." He seems
to be absolutely unreasonable and
acts like nn old "grand ma." Also
we have a prof that is so inconsider-
ate that ho never gives n cut nnd
really expects students to study.
An nthlete observes that: One fac-
ulty member things his own opinions
nre infnlablo even though he thinks
in the terms of 191C. Also we have
one person teaching us that should
be a Fifth avenue photographer's
model or maybe a husband would
help her settle down to earth.

TYPE OF LIFE:
Women run after him nnd it Just
bores him ....
He Is rather short with hlondish
hair (lint Is always well combed. Ills
quiet demenmir keeps him from being
noticed particularly by the males but
he is never missed by the females.
Tho reason for this is because he
is (iiite good-looking nnd has an in-
nocent air about him that swells the
maternal Instinct of women to tho
bursting point. They run after him
but because lie Is entirely unaffect-
ed he pa.s no attention to them nt
nil. In fact when you observe it
rather closely he Is downright bored
by the hustle and confusion caused
by his presence.
Every play known by modern wom
en to bring him to taw has been tried
but lie was immune until he fell for
the simplest line of nil e. g. a dom-
ineering possessive female.
Of course this stopped some from
making plays for him Irat some
women can be slopped nt nothing.
He Ignores them taking a pride In
the fact that he is being faithful to
his girl. He fails to remember that
this has alwns been his attitude.
Both sexes like him because his is
n quiet personality that causes every-
one to say after they have met him
that he is a nice man.
He is utterly serious in his work
nnd will some day make a success.
He is talented nnd enjojs the work
that he Is in which forms a com-
bination that Is hard to beat.
He has been around the mulberry
bushes but Is still ignorant about the
opposite sex. He realizes in a vague
sort of way that as a whole they arc
silly and absurd creatures who dote
on possession.
His attitude toward life is rather
cjnical hut he has not just cause
for this. His only reason is that the
world is not "run" right which is
true but nothing can be done about
it.
