ON EXHIBITION AT COLLEGE STORE fllaldropGfS Bryan and College Friendly five shoes FIVE DOLLARS Educators Protest Ingenious Methods Of Inspiring Study (Intercollegiate Press) CHICAGO, May 11.—Dr. Homei) F. Rainey, of Bucknell University, speaking before a group of educa tors attending a series of confer ences accompanying the dedication of the new graduate education building at the University of Chi cago, asserted that he was amazed at the ingenuity of professors in making up schemes to get students to study what they had no interest in studying. The result, he said, is that we have a preponderance of teaching on the part of the faculty and a minimum of learning and study on the part of the students. “Thus,” he said, ‘"we are burden ed with all sorts of superficialities, required class attendance, grades, credit points, class assignments and lesson learning, a textbook time concept which robs education of its genuine value. Students must come to appreciate that the vital factor of education is what they learn to do for themselves.” Rifle Team— (Continued from page 1) Price, Garland City, Arkansas; G. R.

Oth ers who will make the trip are Charlie Malone and J. B. Heinen, both of Dallas; and G. R. Zachary, Kerrville. Against conference teams this spring the team has fared none too well, and as yet have not gained a victory. Probably the toughest loss of the season came last week when S M U’s champions of the “greens” took six straight matches from the Cadets, five of them by one hole, and four on the nine teenth. Rice Institute is favored in the meet since they were successful in vanquishing the Pony team last week-end, on the River Oaks course.

THE BATTALION New Rules Will Speed Up Game Of Basket Ball Under Adopted Rules Ball WiFi Be Passed More Fre quently About Court. (Intercollegiate Press7 NEW YORK, May 11.—That basketball, already one of the fast est of all college games, will be still speedier next season was as sured when the Joint Basketball Committee, meeting here, added two new rules, one suggested by the National Basketball Coaches Association. The first rule requires that when a team has the ball in its own back court, it must return the ball to the opponent’s back court with in ten seconds or lose the ball on a sideline throw-in. The other rule requires that when a player gains possession of the ball in the free-throw lane with his back to the basket he must [throw or dribble the ball out or try for a basket within three sec onds. Both rules are designed to speed up the game and to prevent stall ing, the method used by teams in the last few minutes of play when they are slightly ahead to keep the other team from gaining pos session of the ball and making pos sible baskets. The first rule reads as follows: “A two-inch ~Jne Icnown as the center line shaU t»e drawn laterally across the cov bisecting the cen ter circle; when a team obtains pos session or control of the ball in its own back court it must advance the ball over the center line within a period of ten seconds, unless the ball has been touched by an oppo nent, in which case a new play re sults and timing beings again when possession and control is regained in the back court; when the ball has been advanced over the cen ter line it must not be returned back over the center line until a try for goal has been made or pos session of the ball has been lost. “When the offensive team ob tains possession and control of the ball in its offensive half of the court or if the offensive team shoots for the basket and recov ers the ball it may pass the ball back over the center line but once. “The penalty for failure to com ply with the forgoing sections con stitutes a violation and the ball goes to opponents out of bounds at the nearest side lines. “Rulings on touching the center line shall be made in accordance with the present practice in regard to out-of-bound decisions. “Touching the center line shall be construed as over.” New Club With Preachers’ Kids Only Organized Special to The Battalion FORT WORTH, May 11.—P. K. may now stand for chewing gum, or what not in various places, but on the campus of Texas Christian University it means “Preachers’ Kids/’ Students whose fathers are min isters have organized a social fra ternity of their own and have adopted the name Preachers’ Kids. The single purpose of the organi zation is to develop social life of these students. Nat Wells of Dallas is president of the P. K., Dan Salkeld of Abi lene is vice president, Miss Anneil Phares of Dallas is secretary, and Miss Mary Louise Scott of Kerr ville is treasurer.

Streamlining saves approxi mately 20 per cent of the power. When the Philadelphia and Western Railway Company decided to replace its cars with faster and more efficient equipment, it chose ^electric bullets"— new streamlined cars — each powered by 4 G-E 100-hp. motors. The cars, constructed of aluminum alloy, with tapered noses and tails, are much lighter in weight and capable of greater operating efficiency. In developing transportation apparatus, college-trained General Electric engineers have conducted extensive tests to improve oper ating conditions. On land, on sea, and in the air, to-day’s equipment is safer, swifter, more dependable, and more comfortable. 95-922 GENERAL® ELECTRIC SALES AND ENGINEERING SERVICE IN PRINCIPAL CITIES Get your slice of this 464 cash prizes this month for blurbs’ WELL, JOE-HERE QO£S FOR A REAL SHAVE'IVE experimented WITH SHAVINQ CREAMS FOP.
