UNDER PREXY’S MOON
This is a good column, interesting
and all that—but really it couldn’t
very well be otherwise when you con
sider that the subject matter is,
“Professors and their Characteris
tics,” and when you consider that
our campus is fairly teeming with
very interesting professors possess
ing very interesting characteristics.
And the column will continue to be
of interest if I go right on doing a
“prof a week”—BUT, there are only
sixteen more weeks of school, only
sixteen more publications of this col-
losal epic of the press, and there are
sixteen times sixteen more interest
ing profs. So, I am making a change,
and instead • of picking out (or on)
just ONE dispenser of knowledge per
week, I’m going - to joad my pen
with buckshot and cover a Depart
ment a week.
The only trouble with this idea is
that I’m not in every department and
don’t know all the profs and their
peculiar traits. The C. E. building
being my mill of knowledge—and oh
what a column that staff of profs

them until the last week of school,
just before grades are posted, for a
final impression. (Impression may
be substituted by a four-letter word
beginning with ‘S’). Anyway, I’m go
ing to count on lots of help from
everybody to put this new idea over.
So just jot down a note or two on
a prof or so and send it to Sam

Many Agricultural Schools Are Ex
pected to Enter Contest.
Plans are well under way for the
thirteenth annual Texas Smith-
Hughes contests to be conducted by
the faculty of the school of Vocation
al Teaching and School of Agricul
ture on April 21. Judging from the
past contests there will probably be
1,700 to 2,000 contestants entered in
the various contests.
Difficulties arising because of the
limited facilities for caring- for such
a large group are planned to be
eliminated by using the space under
the stadium as sleeping quarters.
The program includes dairy cat
tle judging, poultry and egg judging
as well as contests in farm shop, en
tomology, plant production and plant
propagation.
Nearly (every vocatic/naji agricul
ture school in the State is expected
to enter.

On a bright January Sunday day.
Company “A” had inspection and
hell to pay.
From shack to shack, solemn and
grim.
Went Lieutenant Siebold iand his
men,
Pie rammed for dirty shoes till
he was sore.
And in this frame of mind came to
“Colonel” Fortson’s door.
Here he knocked, opened the door,
and stepped inside,
Stood a minute then broke into a
smile he couldn’t hide.
For there stood the “Colonel” by
his bed
With his number one cap upon his
head,
At which sight the Lieutenant
says, says he,
“What, no side-arms today?”
With that he strode from out the
door,
Leaving the “Colonel’s” face like a
red-painted floor.
The “Colonel” still swears till this
day
That there’ll be lote more hell to
pay,
If he ever catches the K-det that
wrote this ditty.
Parker’s New Streamlined Shape
Sets Low
in the pocket . . .
Feels "At Home” in the Hand
Parker’s new streamlined Duofold Pens (and
Pencils to match) look neater and set lower in the
pocket than others because the clip starts at the
TOP—not halfway down the cap.
The smart, perfectly poised shape feels “at
home” in the hand — the hand-ground, heavy
gold point writes with our famous 47th improve
ment— Pressureless Touch.
Like 2 Pens for the Price of One
An exclusive convertible feature makes all
Parker pens actually like 2 Pens in One. When
you buy a pocket Parker you need only a desk
base to convert it to a complete Desk Set. We
include taper, free. If you buy pen and desk set
together, you get a pocket cap with clip free,
making the Desk Pen a Pocket Pen, too.
See this revolutionary Convertible streamlined
Duofold at any nearby pen counter. The name on
the barrel, “Geo. S. Parker — DUOFOLD,” guar
antees it for your life.
