THE FACULTY SMOKER 

ONE OF THE MOST ENJOYABLE 
AFFAIRS OF THE YEAR. 

-ftlfl PUMniirT DEUCDAPCC 
Some members of the "faculty,, realize ~~ing that a mofe intimate mutual" "acr quiiintanee and -more .^good-fellowship -and-congeniality nrr dpsiralilfa^enjflx. the faculty, recently fathered the move fpr social gatherings for such purposes. They managed to overcome the usua r apathy , of that-dignified body to snih 
, 	an exertion, and collected about thirty of the sixty eligible® in the dining room of B hall last' Saturday night, -and pulled off a sthoker—minus tlie cuatomary 
,«moker_,beVeragea. 
No toasts were aliowed,"at least none were indulged in;"Possibly this plan was arrapged for fear that some , one would want to tell about "The Simple. Prime-­vity of Sanskrit," "The Twinkling of Centrosomes," or '•Whether Transverse Diameter Canine Alveolus of Borophagus Diversideus Measures Thirteen Millime­ters or Eighteen Millimeters," or sdme such edifying.subject. -, ' 

B hall's excellent chef prepared. th£ » following "menu for the occasion: Oysters'on the Half" Shell. , t 6lue Ribbon Celery. ." Sliced California-Tomatoes.

The affair was most -delightful and 

_ 	thoroughly, enjoyed by all present. The fact that the feast was not Bacchanalian in "any sense of the* word, did not tend to dampen the ardor nor dull the pleas­ure of those present. Ye staid and se­

.many trials and -tribulations'.-Everybody 
bad reports have been heard. ,, . • It iiT the intention of those-in power -to continue these banquets, giving,one
si ll 
each month. The object: 4s-tor promote good fellowship among the members of the faculty, to bring them together, throw awaiy a few hours having a real good time. Next time let every member of the faculty be present. Cease "teach­ing the young idea to-shoot," cease for a 

. 	few moments, in your pursuit of knowl­edge. .Come down from your perch-and mingle as brothers. Gather a few rose­buds while ye may. Remember, "Old 
'.Time is a-flying."

CACTUS; 
? The attention of the various classes, fraternities, clubs and organizations in the University is called to the fact that all Cactus stuff must be in by the 15th of February/ This date is not-made to inconvenience anyone, but it -is abso­lutely essential that stuff.be in at that time in order that the Cactus be gotten out1 on time. This means that the pho? tographier should take your picture NOW, • He must have time to do his 
•work, and any-.delay on yout part win cause him extra delay : in view--of the increased work he now has. Class poets 

Published under the auspices of the Students? Association of the University of Texas TWO ST O EE S 
AUSTIN, 
and historians should brush the cobwebs from their, classic brains affd prepare something rare and racy for the readers of the '04 Cactus. Let the grinders, pre­pare the mill, for thp harvest is boun­tiful. Jolly your friends, pass your en­

j-emies by in silence. 
Attention is also called to the fact that money for all space which is to be paid 
for ravst be paid in advance. 

4jtaa0uslg^this_ri.le W.m­strictly as a-matter of protection to the management.' Collecting -from classes, etc., is not like collecting from individ­uals, so the money must come first. 
Mr. J. Sid O'Keefe will assist in the" -management-of--the '04-Cactus.--—

Austin, Texas, March 13, 1804. Mrs. -Thomas M. Owen. -­Dear Madam—I received your kind letter of tljji 9th, and regT|,t that -I-am­not able' to comply with your request satisfactorily. I came to the University a rude boy from the mountains ifa St. Clair county, and was thei;e durihg four sessions,. from. the. 13th-,of, .February, 1833, to about the middle of December; 1836. College boys then usually boarded at the Steward's Hall, and bad.but little social intercourse with the families t)|.at resided in Tuscaloosa. True, I went to dancing school, and parties occasionally, and was mainly in "that way acquainted with many of tha" girls of. the city, and, to tell you the-truth,-liked soime -of them very ^miehj but I can not say that Iloved them very much, as I probably would have done, if itAad not been that I had left my sweet­heart-back in the mountains, the pret­tiest girl in all that mountain country, 'ahd I tKougliit tlie best; as sh^was up there waiting for me two years -until I could get my education and a profession. We lived together forty-six years, less fifteen days, and I never regretted that she waited for me. I will tell you why she waited for me. I spent Christmas week at }rome, and the time came that I -had to go back-to school, and on Monday inorning the horse was saddled and my clothes were packed, and my spurs were , on my boots, but -something was lacking, and I could not start. I had long wanted .to. do it but never had told her what I wanted. I 
thoughtr'it was something thai I ought to-have done. S<> she waited, for 
,n*; ffnd 
many pleasures together
