U., Nov. 3.—The Fresh-Soph j Hallowe’en party turned out to be a sad affair on Hallowe’en eve, when the upperclassmen raided the pantry at the house in which it was given, overpowered the guard which had been placed there to protect the re freshments, and made off with several dozen pies, a crate of apples and a churn of hot chocolate. The hungry freshies and sophs revenged them selves on their dignified upperclass men by rolling the seniors’ bale of cotton from the university to a park about a quarter of a mile away. They laughed best for they laughed last when the senors brought their bale back the next day.

So far only eight men have been required to withdraw, while thirteen are allowed to stay condi tionally. Dr. Bizzell has made the fol lowing statement: “It is the policy of the faculty to advise withdrawal only in case of those students who have shown clearly that college work is too difficult for them to pursue with advantage. Each student who has failed to make the required ten hours has been advised to return to high school or preparatory school and spend the year in preparation for re entering next fall. Practically every one of the eight students whose with drawal has been recommended has been asked to do so because of insuf ficient preparation rather than indif ference in work. It is expected that most of these men will return next fall prepared to resume their work.” It is expected that the new entrance requirements that go into effect next year will do away with so many men failing to pass their work as it will prevent men from entering who are not prepared to do the Avork required of them. Y. M. C. A. ADRRESS LAST SUNDAY The Y. M. C. A. was indeed fortu nate in having Rev. Peter Gray Sears of Houston as speaker Sunday night. The speaker, in his characteristic, forceful Avay, expanded upon his theme of the morning. In his talk he brought out and clearly impressed his audience with the thought that every man should take Jesus Christ as his ideal and live, that when the time comes for him to leave this world he will not have lived in vain, but like the Savior, can truthfuly write well done at the end of his record.

On Sunday, Nov. 14th, Rabbi Henry Cohen of Galveston Avill conduct the chapel services. Rabbi Cohen has favored us with at least one sermon a year for the past few seasons. It is significant that on the Sundays when it has been advertised that Rabbi Co hen would conduct the services there were intentional absentees from chapel, and this speaks volumes for Rabbi Cohen. FIRE PREVENTION. By S. W. Inglish, State Fire Marshal. Electricity is a Avonderful thing. It is a trinity of mysteries. It has light, it has poAver, it has heat. When properly confined it is man’s servan:; it is woman’s labor saver. But familiarity with electricity breeds danger. It provides fuel for the fire demon. It works in a Avonder ful way. A careful inspection of Aviring today may save a cankering regret tomorrow. There is no light of prosperity, no poAver to undo, no heat to make the heart glow in the ruins of a home. Is your house Avired properly Has time corroded the insulation that con fines this wonderful fluid in the little copper wires? Don’t suppose so—do you know it? If the wiring in your residence is not properly inspected you may pay out the savings of a lifetime as a re sult. Play safe!
