Last year Centenary won a 24- 13 game from the Baylor Bears, but in return lost decisions to Ar kansas, S. M U., and the Aggies.

The work on the 1933 Longhorn is progressing rapidly, .according to B.

The seniors responded in a whole-. hearted manner when (hey were requested to have their pictures made as aarly as possible and their cooperation has made it possible to extend the time so that the few who were unable to visit the studio during the time prescribed for sen iors may still have their picturea made, Gottlieb stated. The junior pieture* are being made now, and in order that the work on the class sections may stay up to schedule. Gottlieb requests that the juniors have their pictures made as soon as possible. There will not be an extension" of time allowed the juniors as the shortage of funds makes it not only expenditures snd the mipropiation of an equal amount for public works, including i lion, slum clearance and koosInK. Almost in step with the Demo crats, the Socialists advocate a compulsory system of unemploy ment compenMtion with adequate benefits based upon contributions by the government and •employers. In addition to this, they favor the establishment of old-age pensions, health and maternity insurance, an improved system of workmen’ compensation and accident insur ance. abolition of child labor, es tablishment on a national scale of the minimum wage and the six- hour day, five-day week, and the creation of free public unemploy ment agencies.
