This “Older Boys” conference will 
also be of some value to the Univer­
sity, because it will bring down here 
some 600 boys from 15 to 20 years 
of age, who are really college pros­
pects, and will give them a chance 
to see the University. Some noted 
speakers will talk during the confer­
ence. Among them is Jam es A. Whit­
more of New York, one of the great­
est speakers for boys in the United 
States.

The organization of the association 
includes alumni and form er students 
of the University of Texas who are 
now' practicing law 
the State. 
Among the speakers on the program 
will be several well known ju rists of 
the State. The Supreme Justices of

The Engineering 
Building is to be opened to visitors 
from 2:30 until 5 in the afternoon. 
The rooms will not be decorated by 
the classes as in previous years, but 
the different departm ents will give 
exhibits.

In 
this section there will also be a 40,000- 
pound testin g machine for steel which 
has recently been installed. Drawings 
for structural work and bridge de­
signing will also be on display.

The D epartm ent of A rchitecture’s 
exhibit will be for the most p a rt the 
one th a t was shown a t the State F air, 
consisting of draw ings showing de­
sign, w ater-color sketches, pen and 
ink sketches, free-hand drawings and 
drawings for construction.

The Electrical Engineering students 
are to have the most spectacular dis­
play. All of the machinery in the 
laboratories will be running, showing 
a m ercury arc rectifier, to change the 
current from a ltern atin g to direct; a 
self-reversing motor, and a 50,000- 
volt 
tran sfo rm er puncturing mica. 
All the modern electrical appliances 
for the home will be shown in opera­
tion here also. The Juniors of this 
departm ent are to give a startlin g ex- I 
hibition of a high tension coil in ac­
tion. The sparks in the darkness are 
a good im itation of lightning.

Sophomores and Freshm en will have 
examples of mechanical and machine 
draw ings on display.

The Bureau of Economic Geology, 
which is also to have a section of the 
building, will show spec imens of build­

This is the fifteenth annual “open

T hose who were struck by the novel 
and effective use of curtains in Forbes 
R obertson’s production of “Hamlet” 
will be interested to learn that this 
la te s t idea in stag e setting is to be 
em ployed by a U niversity organiza­
tion shortly. The C urtain Club, which 
gives its perform ance on Dec. 2, has 
abandoned form al painted scenery and

w ith th e doors of gold in the center.
“The Workhouse

enclose the room.

FIVE COUNTRIES

REPRESENTED BY 

VARSITY STUDENTS

From inform ation secured from the 
newly compiled students’ directory, it 
is seen th a t students from tw enty-four 
States, fve foreign countries and one 
United States possession are a tten d ­
ing the U niversity. There is a to tal 
of sixty-eight students from the dif­
ferent States, and twelve from foreign 
countries.

Of the States, Louisiana ranks first 
with 
ranks 
IO students; Oklahoma 
.second with 9 students, and New Mex­
ico th ird with 8 students. The rest 
the States represented, together 
of 
students from 
with the number of 
each one, are as follows: Wisconsin.

linois, 4; Florida, 2; Missouri, 4; Mis­

I; California, 2; Alabama, 3; N ebras­
ka, I; Indiana, 3; Kentucky, I; Ohio, 
I; W ashington, I). C., I ; New York, 4. 
A peculiar fact noticeable about the 
students from New York is th a t every 
one of them is from New York City.

Of the foreign countries, Mexico has 
more representatives than any other 
country, having a total of six students. 
Other countries are represented as fol­
lows: Brazil, 2; Panam a, I ; Persia,
I; and A ustria, I. The United States 
possession of Hawaii is represented by 
one student.

After seeing 

th a t his men were 
com fortably located, Mr. H arp er re­
turned to town and called on Mr. Bell­
mont and Trainer Disch. A fter cas­
the Campus and 
ually inspecting 
Clark Field, he returned to St. Ed­
ward’s about noon.

In the afternoon the N otre Dame 
squad went through a ra th e r stre n u ­
ous two-hour signal practice, 
in an 
effort to work the stiffness, caused 
by the long trip from Chicago to A us­
tin, out of their muscles.

Last night th e y were the guests of 
the Newman Club a t a reception given 
at the club’s room s. This m orning the 
team wall be entertained by the girls
at St, M ary’s.

Although Mr. H arp er was optim is­
tic, he would m ake no prophecy con­
the outcome of T h ursday’s 
cerning 
game.

“We are expecting a tough gam e,” 
he said, “but m y men are in prim e 
condition. We will be som ew hat 
handicapped by th e heat, of course. 
Snow fell d uring o u r last S a tu rd a y ’s 
game with Creighton U niversity, and 
such extrem es of w eather are hard 
on the men, b u t we expect to pull

The N otre Dame eleven will have 
their final signal practice this a fte r- _ 
noon before they go into the big g a m e ; 
tomorrow.

the 

Thanksgiving has always been 
associated with 
idea of 
“home-coming,’' and this conno­
tation of the term lends a de­
lightful significance to the cus­
tom th at the U niversity seeks to 
encourage, th at of urging the 
return of the old students at 
this time of the year, when they 
can join with the present stu- 
dent-body in the festivities th at 
go to make Thanksgiving what 
it is.

It is a “home-coming,” and a 
needed one. The alumni form a 
large and powerful factor in the 
life of any instittuion, if they 
will but recognise and make use 
of th eir power to fu rth er its de­
velopment. No institution can 
afford to lose th eir active inter­
est and support.

Here at Texas, a S ta te Univer­
sity, the alumni 
include many 
of the most intelligent and in­
fluential men and women in the 
S tate. Many, as individuals, are 
constantly furthering the inter­
ests of their Alma M ater in one 
way or another. But th eir chief 
strength lies in work done by 
them as a body, th a t is, in or­
ganization.

W hat a wonderful opportunity 
would be theirs if the alumni of 
this University would organize 
and take an active and deter­
mined part, not only in the bat­
tle th at every university has to 
fig h t against ignorance and pre j­
udice and indifference, but also 
in the local activities of the stu-i 
dent-body.

It’s Good

The U niversity of T exas Law 
Association has established a 
commendable and advantageous 
custom— th at of returning to the 
University at Thanksgiving time 
fo r th eir annual m eetings. May 
students of other departments 
follow, and may the Thanksgiv­
ings of the fu tu re be the occa­
sions for the return of hundreds 
and hundreds of ex-students.
May the U niversity of T exas'
Thanksgiving home-comings be­
come famous the country over.
Texas will be greatly the gainer 
for many reasons. A valuable 
tradition will be established and 
will be of such moment as to a t­
tra c t Nation-wide attention. The 
S ta te will benefit by the meeting 
annually of large numbers of the 
component parts—-students and 
ex-students of the S ta te 's great­

It is prophe­

There is a complaint among 

the

coaches of the larger universities that 

as he gets older.

the smaller colleges are getting some 

of the best athletes. They think that 

if this continues there will oe a time 

when them will be no “Big T h re e ’ 

or “Four.” On the other hand, they 
expect the schools like De Pauw soon 
to play the 
larger schools for the

And they are also for the purpose of 
encouraging the fighting spirit. Per­
sons wrho attend these rallies, however, 
to do some fighting 
are expected 
themselves. They call them recruiting 
rallies, and they are designed to get 
men to enlist in the British army.

Barnard.

There is a possibility that the honor
system may be exchanged for the old 
system of having proctors present at 
the examinations. At a meeting of 
students held recently a change was 
made in the rules whereby a girl who 
sees another cheating must, instead 
of reporting her, speak to the o f­
fender and let her report her own 
the 
case. This change may cause 
honor system to be continued.

She wants to hear from college men 
all over the country, for the best plays 
of the future are coming from college 
men. She says she wants to do ber 
part “toward encouraging young play­
wrights, at the time they need it most, 
when they are unknown.”

get one Turner to play football at

It is reported th at Turner is
