Well children believo It or not
here is tho sixth edition of the year's
publicity problem. Yes my dears it
actually is a problem what to print
and what not to expose lest we cause
some unpleasantly disturbing mo-
ments for someone. And certainly
we scandnlists would not intention-
ally cause anyone the slightest bit of
unrcstl No never.
Since the authors of FEMALE
JUDGMENT hare laid themselves
open for discussion so freely may the
B. I. offer the following unsolicited
contribution:
"It seems peculiar to us that the
writers of Female Judgment are the
two girls on the campus with the
least Judgment and the worst repu-
tations. "(Signed) An Interested Student."
And now may we mention tho edu-
cational advantages of the weekly B.
I. In case you hnven't noticed be-
fore the last several editions could
possibly be closed even the B. I. it-
self has been bidding tho CHILDREN
a cheery au levolr to "ladies and gen-
tlemen." Just think where else can
you advance in your mental scoring
so rapidly with as little effort. But
we must hasten to this week's offer-
ings: It seems that some people are al-
ways in the limelight and on special
occasions may even make the car-
light. For fifethcr references ask
HULL SAVAGE and VAUGHTER.
Speaking of spotlights we wonder
why some people must be so-ooo pop-
ular and what will the ever helpful
HIBBARD POLK be asked to do
next? The present assignment is an
urgent request from JAN IE ESCUE
that said POLK serve as a skinny
hula-hula dancer for the College
Heights grammar school side-show.
TIMELY TOPICS:
When did Mrs. LANDERS Prexy's
secretary start displaying beer in her
office? Evidently her preference is
for A B C and Pabst for those were
the brands sported on the four cdns
on .her desk. If this continues unin-
vestigated some of the students may
become sufficiently bold to liberalize
their own showings.
By Special Request
What has freshman GRACEY got
that we sophs haven't? I want to
know the secret.
A sophomore.
Right now it seems that she's near-
ly landed JACK HINRICIIS or at
least she is trying hard enough.
And now it is WILMA RICHARD-
SON who is trying to coach football
on the. Hardin-Simmons campus. At
any rate she has Co-captain CROW-
ELL under her guidance.
May we inform RUTH CARR that

FRESHMEN VOCATIONS
Future Housewife Shortage
No streetsweepers no paper-hangers
no insurance salesmen and only
three housewives.
These ore the results of a test giv-
en to the freshman class as to the oc-
cupations they Intend to follow. Thero
will be more business administrators
than anything else with school teach-
ing running a close second and home-
making coming in last. Only three
girls in the entire class want to make
their career one of homemaking and
one of them is already married. Thirty-five
are contemplating business ad-
ministration and 28 are going to
teach.

Annual Contest
Between Classes
Closes Tonight
Winners To Name Beauty;
Freshman Delegation
Lead Race
Today is the last day to have pic-
tures made if they are to be counted
in the contest to namo the Bronco
beauty. Students failing to have
thcits made thus far must do so at
once as the contest closes at 0 p.m.
nnd pictures made after that time will
not be tabulated in the contest.
At present there hns been over 450
pictures made but this is far shoit
of the goal set by tho editor Clyde
Crawford. "Duo to the unusually low
cost of n sitting this year four poses
for 50 cents there is hardly n feas-
ible excuse for failure on the part of
any student to have his pictuio made"
said the editor. "And failure on the
part of any student to have his made
results not only in his cheating him-
self but his friends and classmates as
well as they desire and expect to
havo his picture in their issue."
The Bronco beauty of 1030-37 Nor-
ma Suo Tippcn was named by the
senior class but so far this year the
freshman class is leading. Tho meth-
od of determining the winner is on a
percentage basis and not the total
number of pictures any given class
has made.
Sitting are being made at Thurman
studio 1124 North Second St. and le-
eclpts may be secured from Crawford
at his office in Abilene hall Lcola
Iscnhowcr at Mary Frances hall or
Forrest Wado Tippen at tho library.
Crawford has announced that prac-
tlcariy nil ait work on tho 1D37-38 edi-
tion has already gone to the printers
and that progress is being made daily
toward its completion.
B. S. U. Group Has
Chinese Program
"The Youth of China Today" served
as tho themo of the B. S. U. campus
meeting Thursday evening.
Jimmy Moore ICardin-Simmons
student who has spent 14 years- of his
life in China gave interesting facts
about tho Chinese people. Ho came
hero from China last year so that ho
might continue his education. Al-
though born in Georgia he had not
seen the place of his birth until re-
cent months.
"Tho terrific struggle for mere ex-
istence is appalling" Jimmy stated.
"The well-to-do Chinese make from
five to seven dollars gold per month
but the great mass of coolies make
only about 10 cents a day. This ter-
rific struggle for a living is one of tho
main reasons that about 85 per cent
of the Chinese are illiterate since they
have neither the time nor the money
to send their children to school."
Thero is hardly any social life in
China. A man is never seen with his
wife in public. When they go to
church the husband walks several
paces ahead of his wife and in tho
church house ho sits in tho men's sec-
tion and his wlfo and children sit in
another.
"I believe that the present war be-
tween China and Japan will bo the
salvation of China; it has caused the
Chinese people to unito against the
enemy for tho first time in history"
ho concluded.

cino seem to have been slighted some-
what with only five signed for the
former and four for the latter.
Journalism and other forms of writ-
ing come in for their share of tho
glory with eight students turning
their attention to the pursuit of fame
via the literary road.
Fourteen of the students chose pro-
fessions other than those listed on tho
tost. These range all the way from
forestry to interior decorating and
from the flour Industry to designing.

Of Artists
The musical department of Undo
Sam's great Navy will come to Abi-

Nov. 5. Tho United States Navy
band is the first of a series of six
stellar attractions to be presented by
the Hnrdin-Simons univeisity artist
course this season.
Boasting a personnel of over 80 mu-
sicians the Navy band since its re-
organization at the close of the
World War has gained a reputation
of being the greatest military band in
the United States today. Annual con-
cert tours havo been made since 1025
with special authorization from Con-
gress. Bentcr Directs
Lieut. Charles Bentcr has been di-
rector of the Navy musicians since
1018.
This season's tour which will last
less than two months began Oct. 0.
Tho Abilene date is the only appear-
ance in West Texas. Tho band will
play in Wichita Falls Nov. 4 coming
direct from an engagement at the
University of Oklahoma. Tour man-
ager for this season is Wayne Borton
of Washington D. C.
All students living within 150
miles of Abilene knowing people

Student Matinee
A special matinee concert primar-
ily for students has been arranged
for 3:30 Friday afternoon concert
manager G. B. Sandefcr announces.
(Continued on page 4)
Evident
rators will have something of an open
field with only nine students choos-
ing to travel that brilliant road to
their success.
Farming and ranching havo proved
almost as unpopular as homemaking
with only four boys heading towards
the wide-open spaces.
Engineering courses claim the at-
tention of 14 freshmen and one of
these is a girl.
From the entire class thero are only
28 students who are undecided as to
what they plan to do. Maybe they
are the smart ones for who can be
sure that the others will not change
their minds?
