evening, April 1.
Dr. Campbell, whose pen name is
Stanley Vestal, writes delightful
stories of plains, Indians and figures

ing Grounds” are attracting the at
tention of the modern fiction reader.
Professor Campbell maintains that
there is real epic material in days
of the old Southwest and he will
point out in his talk what, this ma

ferson City, Location of Press.
With the last copy sheet on the
way and the last plate mailed the
editorial end of the Longhorn staff
has completed its work as far as the
campus is concerned. The departure
of M. T. Halbouty this week-end for
Jefferson City, Missouri, the location
of the Botz-Hugh Stevens Press,
marks the end of a laborious year for
the staff. Although everything must
be checked and approved by the edi

the material to be used in the book is

secret by the members of the staff

been used. The remaining improve
