Dear Editor:
Spirit! Spirit! and more Spirit! That's what
we need in a bigger and better form. It seems
that everybody has taken it for granted tbat the
football team can win and they can but they need
our help too. We as students and followers of the
Purple and Gold have let down on our spirit.
Now wo are going to havo to imt our shoulders
In the wheel and get back that true Hardin-Sim-moils
fight that the old exes talk about. We arc
going to have to come to the pep rallies and yell in
stead of sitting back and taking everything in.
Halt the people at pep rallies never yell. The stu-
dents have to realize that to have a winner in any-
thing you have to havo support behind the winner.
Wc have all the students that could be support but
they won't.
This football team docs not need our help as an
individual but it needs our help as a body a body
of students that has the spirit and has the will to
put those Cowboys across the goal when they need
the winning touchdown. Three-fifths of the student
body and teachers don't como to the pep rallies or
games.
To win victories the rest of the year wc arc going
to have to have the enthusiastic support of each and
every one of you. So let's everyone turn out to
the pep rallies and games one for all and all for
one and that one is Hardin-Simmons university!

THANKS A MILLION
The spirit of hospitality became a member of the
It. S. U. convention when the delegates reached the
Lubbock city limits. It invaded every home ac-
companied each student and guest in their ambles
around the Tech campus and around town.
The gracious manner in which the citizens en-
tertained their visitors knew no bounds. "Lubbock
threw her doors wide open and extended a hearty
welcome to the sojourners.
"Good will peace to men" might well have "been
the pass word employed by Tech to gain admit-
tance to the hearts of the B. S. U. representatives
of. the several colleges and universities.
Hardin-Simmons especially appreciated the cour-
tesy ovith which she came in contact.
What more could one wish for!
TAKE IT AWAY McKINNEY
"Burns McKinncy Day!" Thus the mayor of
Wichita Falls W. E. Fitzgerald has proclaimed
the day in honor of the Cowboy star from that city.
Not only arc the citizens honoring Burns as an
A-l football player but as a type of American boy
who can overcome handicaps and reach an achieve-
ment worthy of any youth. To be able to get the
upper hand of one's physical and scholastic abili-
ties and rise to the top in athletics and scholarship
is a commendable gesture for anyone to manifest.
This appreciation for a "boy who made good" in
a big way reaches farther than just the city limits
of the northern city Hardin-Simmons receives the
hospitality of the people in the spirit in which it is
given with a receptability peculiar only to the
West.
For a whole town to turn out in a declared holi-
day in honor of him is no small glory for any
young person to live up to Burns will have his
share in piling up a victory against the Emporia
team this afternoon besides upholding his own in-
dividual record that has made him noticed through-
out the nation.
Power to you McKinney 1
SUPPORT YOUR ADVERTISERS
No town is complete without merchants. In fact
where there are no business houses there is no town.
Merchants advertise in mediums where their
wares will be put before a receptive population a
populace that will take note of and benefit from
distinctive solicitation.
Abilene business men believe in the school papers
and exhibit their faith by their advertisements in
the Brand
This is your paper. These merchants are your
friends!
The Brand is Hardin-Simmons market place. Pa-
tronize your advertisers.

THERE IS A LIMIT
"Thirty miles per hour speed limit." That is
the sign on Dodge street.
"Thirty-five miles per hour speed limit." That
is the ruling in the Omaha traffic ordinance.
"Anywhere from 40 to 70." That is the sign
that seems to be printed in nearly every Omaha
driver's mind.
This state of affairs is duo to laxness in enforc-
ing speed laws. An explanation made to us by one
oC the traffic officers may clear this up: "Well
you see the sign says 30 miles. That means a
driver should go 35 can go 38 and wc won't arrest
him till he goes over 40."
How can city driving be safe with a situation
like that? Small wonder that a small child sent
across the street for a loaf of bread for dinner
was killed. Small wonder that another coming
home from school was struck and crippled for life.
And no wonder that many adults who cross a street
thinking they have plenty of time arc.struck down.
The best brakes made can't stop a car within a
few feet when that car is going GO miles an hour
or more.
Do you believe in signs T Then make it "30" on
the speedometer and not "30" on someone's life!

computed on the basis of what grades the student
generally makes what system -of grading the prof
uses and how difficult the exams are. All business

not know which of their students are insured and
for what grade. The Reveille.

The much published feud or one
sided argument between Female Jutls
ment and the B" I will be settled on
our part if the editor will answer one
question. Who really writes the Brand-

editor couldn't put out such a pusil-
lanimous poltroonish vitiated doltish
column. It sounds as though some
poltergeist has maserated a once good
column into one filled with stophy-

a comeback this week because he
won't have time to look up the mean-
ing of all these words).

with him many years. Mr. Young
was his accompanist.
Mr. Young opened his concert with
five short English classics) composed
for the virginal one of the forerun-
ners of tho piano. Charming little
things they were followed by two
Italian selections written for -the
clavichord another predecessor of the
piano. One "Tho Cat's Fugue" by
Scarlatti was one of the most popular
of the group of early numbers. It
was followed by MacDowell's arrange-
ment of Rameau's "Trols Mains."
Working down toward more modern
composers Young next played Bee-
thoven's "Sonata Op. 28" playing the
andante movement with smooth legato
touch. Tho pronounced rhythms of
the scherzo and rondo movements
were particularly well done.
Gipsy Smith made his second ap-
pearance on the program for a group
of three songs. Despite his more than
70 years Gipsy's voice was full and
strong at times soft with emotion He
gave two Romany love songs his own
compositions and one other number.
Applause of an enthusiastic audience
brought him back for an encore an
English ballad.
Mr. Young's last group of selections
included two Chopin selections both
well received Schumann's "Romance
in F Sharp" and the colorful feiry
"Rhapsody No. 2" by Liszt.

Meditations
By Rowland Dow
A lot is said about Christian sacri-
fice ... we hear often about someone
sacrificing for Christ. I believe that
there is no such word in the Christian
vocabulary.. Show me a man who
has "sacrificed" for Christ and I will
show you a man who has been more
than paid for that "sacrifice." There
is no such thing as sacrifice in Chris-
tian service. ... It pays to serve
Jesus.
Here's a real definition of joy. Let
the "J" stand for Jesus let the "O"
stand for nothing let the "Y" Btand
for you. That's what joy is: Jesus
and you with nothing between.
Here are some thoughts picked up
begged borrowed or stolen from the
State B. S. U. convention at Lubbock
This column today may resemble in
aimlessness the knight who became so
zealous for a certain cause that he
ran from the house jumped on his
horse and rode rapidly off in all di
rections at once.
"Jesus was never afraid of his ene
mies but he was always aware of his
fair weather friends If you serve
Jesus in the easy time and leave him
in the hard time you'll drive another
spike in His hand. . . . Every man
has his price except the man who is
worth buying. . . .
"The only philosophy of religion
worth anything is the one worked out
on a battlefield and not under a study
lamp. ... It takes more grace to en
dure than to conquer. . . . When God
gets hold of the head of a man and
the devil gets hold of the feet of a
man then he grows. Browning. . . .
The things that are easy never grow
great souls. . . When. Jesus was in
the world Love meant lust He took
it from the rubbish heap and made of
it the dynamic force of Christianity.
. . . Don't worry about brains you
don't have. . . .''

"Pleasing personality black curly
hair and brown eyes."
Such words describe George Avery
Lee one of the best known and well
liked students on this campus. He is
president of the junior class Pi Kappa
Delta O. & D. and B. S. U. and you
can see he is a very busy fellow. He
hails from Oklahoma City but likes
Texas also. His present hobby is col-
lecting different brands of soap from
odd places while in the future he is
going to start collecting monkeys
see no evil hear no evil and speak no
evil. Avery is a ministerial atudeni
and sings in the first male quartette.
English and speech are his majors and
philosophy his minor.
