again In the Southwest Conference, but this
time it is between Baylor and Texas Uni
versity, who meet in football this Saturday.

yesterday and Texas Dean of Men Charles
V. Dunham reported that one of the painters
who did the midnight smear job had been
identified as a Baylor student, according to
Associated Press.
• The letters “B. U.” were also painted
oa buildings and sidewalks.
Z Dean Dunham said a young man cap
tured by a nightwatchman in the early morn
ing hours was released after being identi
fied by Navy discharge papers and a driver’s
license. He denied he was a student. Baylor
officials said a student by that name was
enrolled in their school, Dunham reported.
. The Texas dean said the paint could be
rtmoved only by ^and blasting, and added
that the bill for damages would be sent to
the "responsible parties’’.
