CLARENCE CHANCY HUDSPETH. To Hondo, Tex., queen city of the land of cactus bushes and greasers, has befallen the honor of giving to A. & M. this year’s captain of Com pany “K,” Clarence Chancy Hudspeth by cognomen. Hondo provided well for Clarence in his younger days, for the founda tion of his present education was ob tained at the Hondo public schools. With the idea of being a preacher, Clarence decided that the Hondo High was not broad enough and switched his affiliation to Wesley Col lege of Terrell. (By the way, Wesley is a co-ed prep school and the tales Clarence tells of “my prep school days” will excite tire envy of any ladies’ man.) After leaving Wesley, Chancy entered A. & M. and was as signed to “C” Company, which at that time was an extremely “peppy” bunch, and the effect on Hudspeth was so great that he still possesses a certain degree of meekness. Next year he was a private in Company “C” and also a member of the famous “466” organization. The year follow ing he was a sergeant in the same company, and this year he is our il lustrious captain of “K” Company. CLARENCE CHANCY HUDSPETH, Captain of Company “K.” “C. Ci” (another cognomen) is taking E. E., but is more than a mere follower of Steinmetz and “Doc” Bol ton, for he has several well-developed theories of his own pertaining to electrical phenomenan. He ranks near the top in all his studies. “C. C.” is president of that club from coyote land, or rather sand, known as the Southwest Texas Club. He is also an assistant editor of the Long Horn, a member of the Senior election committee, a member of the A. I. E. E. and a member of the Y. M. C. A. cabinet. His strongest characteristic is sticking to what he thinks is right. He certainly follows out David Crock ett’s saying, “Be sure you are right— then go ahead.” This quality and his past record make us wonder, as Prof. Chastain so often does, “what’s going to come from him?” LADIES TO HAVE MITCHELL HALL Lieutenant Hill has given out the information that Mitchell will be the hall turned over to the ladies during commencement. JOBS ARE NOW SCARCE IN SAN FRANCISCO Danger signals are being flashed to young people bound for the Panama- Pacific Exposition without money, friends or definite positions, as noted through the Survey Press Service. To show that warning is needed, the American Social Hygiene Association points to a report indicating that there is much unemployment in San Francisco and calls attention also to the city moral conditions, which give cause for anxiety. A survey of unemployment of women in San Francisco has just been completed by the California branch of the Association of Col legiate Alumnae. According to a re port based upon this survey, there has been a large increase in the num ber of applications for positions, while in no established business has there been discovered an increase in the number of positions available. At the exposition alone the manager of the employment bureau reported to the investigators that there were on file in his office December 7 be tween 90,000 and 100,000 applications for positions. Of these, between 9,- 000 and 10,000 are applications of women. But the number of positions for women to be filled directly by the exposition authorities is not more than 1,000. The exhibitors, boTii Na tional and State, supply their own employes, most of whom are brought from the home locality of the exhibit, so that this sourse of employment proves to be limited. Employment bureaus are crowded with applicants. One, for example, which has kept statistics for 1913, stated that 1,978 applications were received for three months, September to November, 1914, as compared with 824 in 1913, while the number of places filled in 1914 was only 217. Factories, department stores and offices also have an oversupply of la bor according to the study made by the Association of Collegiate Alum nae. One store reported a daily ex cess of twenty applicants over this time last year. A second has receiv ed 177 requests for work made from October 24 to December 4, of which 110 were made by Easterners who applied in person, showing that these women were on the ground and job less. Another very large department store had so many inquiries about employment that they mailed a letter to applicants advising them to keep away from San Francisco. Similarly, a firm which hires cleri cal workers is sending out word to its branch offices all over the country that “We have received information from our branch offices in California to the effect that there are between 15,000 and 20,000 unemployed sten ographers and office assistants who are destitute. All charitable institu tions and organizations are over whelmed with the relief work neces sary to take care of these people; therefore we would request that you inform those who expect to go to California of the exact state of af fairs.” Especial warnings have been sent out against the moral dangers. There has been a startling multiplication of dance halls and a general expansion of the “segregated districts.” The exposition authorities, who wield the greatest influence in the situation, have made themselves re sponsible for moral conditions inside the exposition grounds by pledging themselves repeatedly and publicly to maintain satisfactory conditions for visitors and to co-operate with pro tective organizations. The mayor has given many general assurances of p66«6c>ooooovery man’s a king here in America. f'j You young kings,” realize your heritage- in other words get what's coming to you.

THE HOME OF GOOD CLOTHES FOR YOUNG MEN his intention to maintain order and a high standard of public morals. Social and civic organizations, Na tionally as well as locally, are fully alive to the city’s moral dangers. Their work is difficult at best, but every addition to the number of young people coming to the city with out money or very definite assurance of employment makes the problem increasingly serious. The News has been urged to repeat this information at this time.—Dallas News. AUSTIN LIT. ELECTS OFFICERS.
