Hearts Are Broken, But Girls Agree
Aggie Football Team Is Still Champ
By Dorothy Schmittgens
Editor, The Lass-0
It will be a long time before
starts smiling again. Classes were
forgotten Thursday afternoon, and
through the buildings could be
heard reports from the' Texas-Ag-
gie game. Broken-hearted with the
Texas lead during the first minute
of play and the apparently futile
attempts of the fighting Aggies
to break through the State line,
TSCW girls gritted their teeth and
tried to bear a defeat that was
beyond the comprehension of the
blind faith they have. But even
with heavy hearts, the Aggie num
ber 1. supporters in Denton agree
that the Aggies don’t have to win
any title to be champions with us.
Rain Doesn’t Dampen Spirits
Texas’ flood-threatening rainfall
cut into the coveted Thanksgiving
holidays, and worried TSCW girls
admit that early Thursday they
gave up the attempt to keep curls
in their hair and powder on their
noses.

it is only appropriate that a special
course be developed to train men
for this specialized work. In the
past there have been several cours
es given in the agronomy depart
ment which contributed to the de
velopment of men for soil survey
work, but only one course designed
to give men the practice they need.
Therefore, the old one hours course
in soil mapping, designated as
Agronomy 410, which was only a
laboratory course, has been re
placed by a new four hour course
bearing the same number and call
ed Soil Classification and Map
ping. This new course with three
hours of theory and a four hour
laboratory will be taught by a
man who returned to the agronomy
department in September of this
year after a year’s leave of ab
sence from the college during the
1939-40 session to get actual field
experience in soil survey work in
the United States Department of
Agriculture.

"t" Sunbeam riders from South Tex
as Sunday evening tell the hair-
raising story of their train crossing
a bridge a split second before it
washed away. But the best story
of any of them is the one the girls
who were twice blessed and got an
extra day of vacation because of
“high water.”
Santa Claus Comes Early
“Santa Claus is coming to town”
for the seniors at TSCW and for
many of the Aggies as well when
the senior class gives their annual
Christmas dance Saturday night,
Dec. 7 from 10 to 12 o’clock in the
Stoddard recreation room.
Featuring an old-fashioned Yule-
tide atmosphere, the dance will
revolve around a large fir Christ
mas tree to be placed in the center
of the dance floor. Bells, tinsel, and
Santa Clauses will be included in
the decorations. Cline’s Collegians
of SMU will play for the dance and
help get the seniors and their dates
in a “night before Christmas”
mood.
CIA of 1920
Arranging for a date at TSCW
through the office of the dean
of women sounds like something
for Robert Ripley, but it was a
reality 20 ye'ars ago on “blue serge
hill.”
Getting the date was only the
first step, because entertainment
was a problem. You could visit in
the living room until 10:15 or go
to a show—well chaperoned by a
faculty member—if you were sure
that it was the only night movie
she attended during the semester.
Upperclassmen, in due significance
of their positions were allowed
special privileges. They could read
in the library at night, if they left
the dormitory before 7 o’clock and
presented a slip from the librarian
on their return!
Fish Nominate Beauties
Freshmen took the first step
toward the selection of the school
beauties for the 1940 Daedalian
Annual when they nominated eight
girls in last Tuesday’s assembly.
Prospective beauty candidates
are Mary Margaret McCarthy, Ag
gie-Day Sweetheart, Anna Ruth
Ashe, Betty Bowman, Connie Bind
ley, Virginia Farrell, Ruth Tillie,
Lena Marie Adams and Iris Joyce
Bageley.
The class will narrow the se
lection down to four at a later
voting, and the final selection will
be made by a judge not yet se
lected, said Betty Ewing, editor
of the annual.

first to contact the ice-bound Ama
rillo last week-end when all com
munication wires to the Texas city
were cut off. Contacts were made
with W5CYX in the Amarillo
Globe-News Building, a station
that was operating on a small gaso
line generator.
Because the only communication
with the outside world was through
amateur radio, some of the first
messages to come through the
TSCW station were train sched
ules. Telegraph wires were down
and trains were lost on the main
I routes.
Police bulletins went back and
forth from Lubbock to Amarillo via
Denton. All records of damages,
aids, and weather conditions were
kept constantly on the radio sound
waves. Denton was the connecting
link between the Panhandle coun
try and Kansas City and other
large cities where they asked for
supple's and helpers.

What kind
of Math do you
call this?
It sounds crazy—but let’s see how it would be
perfectly possible in the telephone, business.
Suppose an improved method is devised that
clips just one second from the time required
to handle one toll ticket in the accounting de.
partment. Apply this method throughout the
Bell System — handling an average of some
55,000,000 toll tickets each month—and it would
effect a monthly saving of nearly 1% years!
A second saved here, an unnecessary step
cut out there—on such close attention to
"little” things rests the Bell System’s ability
to provide the finest, fastest, cheapest tele
phone service in the world.
Why not telephone home often?
Long Distance rates to most
points are lowest any night after
