PHONES: OFFICE 275 RES. 635 BRYAN, TEXAS J : The way to increase a vocabulary is very like the way to increase your personal acquaintance. Put yourself in the way of meeting as many dif ferent phases of expression as you can—read widely, talk with clever people — and whenever you come across a new word or expression train yourself so far as possible to under stand it, just as you would train your self to classify and remember people you meet, gentle and vulgar, good, bad or indifferent.—Barrett Wendell.

AGGIELAND TAILOR SHOP HERE IS WISHING YOU LOTS OF LUCK DURING 1931 Investig-ate Secret Society At Okla. U. NORMAN. Okla.—Once more the authorities of the University of Okla homa are investigating into the ac tivities of a secret order on the cam pus, known since its organization in 1907 as The D D M C. For years the purpose of the or ganization seemed to be that of play ing harmless campus pranks, but in 1918 the society set out to prevent cheating in examinations. A few years later when the society, masked, was attempting to discipline a student, he shot two of its members. University authorities immediately outlawed the order. But the secret order seems to have flourished in spite of the author ities. In 1925 Lee Thompson, leader of the secret order, and now the son- in-law of President W. B. Bizzell, was beaten up by a student being discip lined. Thompson was arrested and con victed of breaking the state anti-mask law, and was sentenced to pay a fine of $500 and to a term in jail. His fine later was reduced to $50 and his prison sentence suspended by Gov. Trapp. Recently a sophomore, Sam Kaplan, was flogged by the organization and the university is stirred up once more.

Huxley is a son of the famous Thomas Huxley, and brother of Al- dous Huxley. The scientist said that the earth has now existed about half its alloted ex- istance, or namely 2,000,000,000 years. Showing what has happened to the human race in a century, he challeng ed his audience to judge what might happen in two billion years more. Girls Sug-g-est Riots As Publicity Stunts NEW YORK—That an occasional riot in the public would be a good manner of attracting money to the college is the belief of the Bulletin, undergraduate publication of Barnard College for Women here. “If we, by bursting the bonds of convention, can gain a little profitable publicity,” the Bulletin said, “let us imitate the noble example our broth ers have set for us ... . Let us be Amazons, oh my sisters! Let us riot —in the public eye.” Albert S. Tousley, of St. Paul, Minn, traveling secretary of Delta Chi, now retiring, declares that so long as alum ni drink, fraternity men will drink and make no bones about it. Sport experts are declaring that this year’s football team at the Uni versity of Utah is the best ever put in the field by a Rocky Mountain Conference team. The team is seek ing intersectional games for next year. You can become as well educated as you like in America without spend ing a cent.—Mclnnes. We must always beware of simply substituting a new and possibly worse tyrrany for an, old, as has so often happened in the sad annals of human progress.—Howard Madison Parshley.

Staging a strong finish, the Texas Aggie cagers came from behind to win the first game played with the San Marcos Teachers on the academy floor 23-20. It was the first defeat of the season for the Bobcats. In the first period the San Marcos boys held an advantage over "the Aggies, with the score being 14-9 at the half. The Ma roon and White jerseyed team came back after the half to even up the score and went into the lead in the fi nal minutes of play. Beau Bell was outstanding with his defensive work. Veltman led the Aggie scoring, gath ering 8 points, and followed by Bell with 7 points. The score at the end was 23-20. The second game, held Saturday night, was a more decided A & M victory, although the Bobcats were ahead at the half with a 17-16 score. As in the preceding game, the Ag gies came back strong to roll up a 38-25 victory. In practically every game thus far played, the Maroon and White has waited until the closing minutes to break loose and run up the score. In this game Captain Shiro Hoke led the scoring with. 12 points, Bell was second with 10. Again, Velt man was outstanding with his de fensive playing and goal shooting abil ity.

The Rice Owls are stronger than last year, and are rated in the con tender class. The feathered tribe is in the same position as the Frogs, having a number of promising soph omores on the team. Blake Sellers, sophomore center, showed up well dur ing the recent Rice invasion of the Mid-west where they gathered three out of the four games played. Ray Hart, forward, is reported to be a goal shooter with unerring aim. The Southern Methodist Mustangs and Baylor University are of rather unknown quality, both being about the same strength as last year. Thus far this season, the Ponies have lost but three games, and two of them were to the powerful Oklahoma quin tet. The Owls meet the Mustangs in Dal las Friday night, and the T C U Horn ed Frogs the next night in Dallas for the only other conference games scheduled. In all the Southland there is no state more favored by nature as a harbor for wild game than Mississippi, the American Game Protective Asso ciation reports.
