A weak viler from rNliiiiisllnii
you understand. Ik pilnlnt; mo-
mentum for the Idea ot havltiK
a whole wools ahoml with mi work
on the weekly Kiizette "is wonder-
ful. Those poor poor "FISH"
are going to bo given the piivll-
edgo of thinking for tlic only time
in their first college yeur.
Oh liwitenljr rettt and slumber
and quiet Biiorcs from some mem-
ber of the staff nnd nfter getting
this paper out a day early too.
This vacation is such it pleasure
that the lute-Aprll-Fool's paper
could not give ths work worn
Idealess (may bo a new word but
it fits) more enjoyment.
Personally I uni nnlllnu; for
Borne new talent and ideas to ap-
pear and then the originators will
become regular hard working staff
members if anything I imy docs
any good. A few of these fresh-
men are already on the staff but
all new talent is welcomed with
a personality snille or something
pleasant.
Those tennis matchcx nre nlmp
Ing up nicely and with the courts
newly rolled and gravelled the
students will bo furnished with
some entertainment and more
ports.? Since the basketball sea-
son has been over u good bit
In the line of Intramural sports
has been attempted and some little
bit has been completed. Base-
ball Is still being attempted but
the sophomores Just haven't ap-
peared to play the freshmen and
now the tennis matches must be
completed for trophies are being
ottered and The COLLEOIAN has
a habit ot finishing what It starts
(maybe remember we wanted a
traffic light and now we have ita
guiding light each day). Later
golt and other sports will be made
into tournaments und the entire
spring will pass swiftly and every-
one will have a "great deal of
fun!"

New Bowie Theatre
bbssssssbbbsbbbbbbbbMbbbsibbbbbw rrtfofl LimMMtBtMffWHIPWffFWLLMKt4LLLLLLLM
Above is a plcturo of the new Bowie theatre which is gaining pres-
tige for Brownwood and West Texas that it is comparable to any city
theatre building and which Is also truly modern and planned in detail
to provide comfort and to facilitate viewing of attractions by theater-
goers. Theatre-goers will enter the theatre through six large doors from
Center street. Eyes will Immediately turn to tho stairway at the right
and to the murals along the foyer wall and going on into tho building
he designings remain modernistic and very beautiful.
The seats are of the latest type and are placed so that ample room
may be bad for patrons. Tho seats are also placed so that no porson
will be directly in front of another on the lower floor. Tho heating and
cooling system is also ot the latest type and for the comfort of the
natrons.
Rayborn Appointed Editor
For Freshman Edition
Every dog must have his day
and so must every Freshman. The
Freshman class will have com-
plete chiu ge of The COLLEGIAN
next week.
It has been a custom for the
past few years to have an April
Fool's edition of the paper printed
by the freshman staff appointed
by the editor however this year
the plans have been varied Just
u Utile. The freshman class will
write compose and deliver the
regular edition of the paper. Since
April Fool's Day comes early in
the week and it is practically im-
possible to issue two editions in
one week this conscluslon was
finally reached.
Garland Rayborn a freshmun
from Sweetwater Texas has been
chosen to act as freshman editor
and he will announce his stuff in
the masthead of his publication
next week. Garland's regular place
on the stuff hus been Feature Edi-
tor so far this year. He has been
tho fellow thut rated all the boxed
heads on the front page of quite
u few foregoing Issues. It is a
big Jump but with the able help
of the other freshmen on the staff
ot The COLLEGIAN this next Is-
sue should be a galaxy ot new Ideas
und Interesting stories.
Special request Is made ot all
Freshmen to unfold their pet tal-
ent and really "shine" on their
heyday. All contributions of poetry
and other articles will bo accepted
and printed with great gusto by
tho Freshman editor he has an-
nounced. Perhaps this new style of things
will not be acceptable to many
older students of Daniel Baker
because they will fear that an old
tradition Is being torn down with
the ommlttance of the April Fool's
Edition but after much thought
and consultation the staff believes
that the students will gain more
from a regular newspaper than a
Joke edition and such an edition
will give the editor a much need-
ed rest and put the freshmen in
line for more service In coming
yours.
S.O.S. Plans Big
Fool's Dag Party
The S.O.S. Society plans to
celebrate the first holiday of April
by entertaining the other girls'
societies on the campus with a
Mexican midnight feast on the eve
of April Fool's Day.
Invitations have been handed to
each of the following clubs: Cog-
gin Delta Beta and the Dorm
Nesters. Enclosed in the invita-
tion Is information concerning the
place "Fools R ush In" the
time March 31 11:45 p. m. until
April 1 1:00 a. m.
The food for the feast will con-
sist of various authentic concoc-
tions of Mexican origin and some
not so authentic but none-the-lesa
palatable creation of the 8.O.S.
authorities on Mexican food. Keep-
ing In mind the houra the enter-
tainment is being planned firstly
to keep awake and secondly to
nmuBe.
A large number of girls la ex-
pected for Patricia Noble 8.O.S.
president states that this type of
party should prove to be unusual
and successful.
131st Band in
Chapel Monday
Monday March 31 the military
band of the 131st Field Artillery
will play a short concert for Dan-
iel Baker College chapel goers.
The band is under the direction
of Warrant Officer Joe L. Haden.
This organisation has appeared
several times In public since Camp
Bowie hus been established In
Brownwood Texas and has been
acclaimed as top entertainment. In-
cluded in the group will be mem-
bers of the 131st Field Artillery
swing orchestra which appeared
for Daniel Baker students about
two weeks ago.
Twelve co-eds at Barnard col-
lege are learning how to repair
automobiles in a course in prac-
tical mechanics.
Forty-two geologlssts at the Uni-
versity of Oklahoma recently

Love in the
It's bound to be spring. It must
be. Relations with winter are com-
pletely cut off. Ma Nature has be-
gun operations. The old gal is

You've heard ot Don Juan well
Ma Nature got him. Remember
Romeo T She got him And Essex

All great men they were and

inevitable.
for All Student
Modern Miracles
In Chapel Todag
"Previews ot Progress" the fu-
ture and a general view of mir-
acles to be next expected for pub-
lic use were shown In the Fine
Arts building today by the General
Motors Corporation.
Cloth and plastic made of wood;
tires and substitulteB ot glass
made of petroleum; hats and chairs
made of milk; and more cloth
made of sand! were a few of the
Interesting achievements that were
displayed on the stage.
More fascinating however were
the experiments performed before
the audience. The advancement
of light from one candle power to
the strongest and brightest light
In the' world second only to the
sun.
By using the "magic eye" light
Is turned to sound and sound to
light. Vibrations of one light that
cannot be seen by the naked eye
can be heard when pointed at an-
other light. Illumination in quarts
is proven by exposing the rock be-
fore hidden light
Television connected with the
modern telephone is one of the
most amazing of the experiments.
To see your party while talking
over the phone seems most logical
to be the next great miracle to be
at the disposal of the public.
Another reality of the future
might be the combination stove
and Icebox. To be able to sit on
the stove put your paper in your
lap put a frying pan on the paper
and fry your breakfast would be
a luxury to any cold natured per-
son. And this little achievement
may not be as daffy as some peo-
ple may think nor as hard to
prove in 1945 as it is to think of
now.
A liquid solution for immediate
freezing Is the latest; and an
electrical coll stove for heating
yet not getting hot makes a nice
cool place for storage.
This exhibit is a part of the
great General Motors show of the
past New York World's Fair. The
equipment is carried in a modern
traveling laboratory especially for
the purpose ot bringing the infor-
mative nnd educational proof to
the public.
For a more thorough and wide-
ly varied program the exhibit ot
experiments Is offered to the pub-
lic in the Memorial Hall in
Brownwood tonight.
Ot 581 men and women who have
earned doctoral degrees at New
York university school of educa-
tion in the last decade 16 are
now college presidents.
Spring Ah! Tis Something
Mother Nature's No. 1 son Fate
is always 'Johnny on the spot' to
slow a feller. Too so true that It
hurts it's a well known fact that
when a feller is slowed up or has
the skids put under him it must
be love. But whenever you find a
boy in love you can find a girl.
When you fl nda girl you find
more love. . . . And beck when
you Nnd lots of loye you know
it's spring. "
It's spring for sure now and a
person can hardly help becoming
concerned over other great men
and women of the world. It's a
point of wonderment' whether or
not fate will lay the heavy kui
on the great men of D B. 0 Will
Brat Program Dance To Be
Given in Daniel Baker
Three Sneak
In S. C. A.
Endorsed as one ot the most
successful Christian Student As-
sociation programs ot the year was
the all-student program last Tues-
day evening.
Betty Jo Vernon beautifully ren-
dered the hym "My Task." She was
accompanied at the piano by Helen
Harbour. The discussions for the
evening were lead by three stu-
dents Joe Owen Bob Farris and
Margaret Buchanan. The substance
of Joe's discussion was that we
all have our own particular abili-
ties. We should be contented with
these and make the most ot them.
He concluded with the statement:
"We should put our fellow-man
on the level with us and God above
all."
Bob Farris stated that it really
was not what he had to say to the
group but what God had to say
he wanted to talk about "If we
take a little spiritual exercise per-
haps' we can awaken something in
us that we have forgotten about
as a guide we should use prayer
the Bible and offering. I am not
being sacrellglous when I say the
Bible is a cook-book of receipts. It
is a book full of receipts that are
-necessary for our spiritual body.
We fill our spiritual body through
the Bible."
In speaking on personal Evan-
gelism Margaret Buchanan closed
the discussion. She gave some
important points to think about.
When we seek the kingdom of God
all other things will be added unto
us. Every day we have opportuni-
ties to help somebody. Do we
always take advantage of these
opportunities?
Plana are being made by the
members of the Student Christian
Association to have several ot
their members attend the meeting
in Ardmore Okla. on April 18
19 and 20.
Mother of D.B.C.
Registrar Better
Students will be happy to learn
of the slight improvement in the
condition ot Mrs Ella B. Craig
mother of our registrar Miss Alta
Craig. Mrs. Craig was stricken
ill at her home last Saturday
morning with a heart attack which
later developed into pneumonia.

Then a thought of our women
and their snaring possibilities
Gentlemen resistance is a lost

Women: Ye daughters of nature
treat them gently. Spare these
mere men from too much suffer-
ing. The flowers blossoms and
leaves and grass; all are daugh-
ters for the cause that of chang-
ing the young man's fancy.
The time for cooperation elab-
oration and coordination is here.

Dance
Entertainment to
Begin at 9:00
Tickets Now Available
From Council Members
History will be made on tho
evening ot next Friday April 4
when the student body ot Daniel
Baker College will stage its All-
Student Dance at the Soldiers'
and Sailors' Memorial Hall In
Brownwood.
Never before have arrangements
been made with auch care and
forethought. Never before has
more appropriate date been select-
ed. Never before has such excel
lent music been engaged. (Ned
Bradley and his orchestra had
every toe-tapping and every heart
leaping when they played on tho
campus recently). Never before
has there been chosen a location
so readily accessible. Never bo-
fore have such pains-taking pro
cautions been taken to assure
completely unbridled sociability
and boundless enjoyment along
with the necessary and high stand-
ards ot distinction dignity and
privacy. Never before has there
been scheduled an affair to which
Daniel Baker students can affix
their nod ot approval so whole-
heartedely and with such pride and
Joy.
Admission will be limited to
students and alumni ot the col-
lege along with their personally
attended guests. The costume is
to be semi-formal requiring tho
ladles to display their very best
and inviting the men to dress
formally if they be so inclined.
The hall Is being decorated ap-
propriately making use of the
familiar and beloved blue and
white as the basic color combin-
ation. Refreshments will be avail-
able within the building.
The most distinctive feature of
the dance perhaps is that of the
programs. These dockets have
been printed in the College colora
and will serve as the passes re-
quired for admission. Space has
boen provided for 12 regular and
two extra entries or individual
dances each ot which will con-
sume approximately 15 minutes of
dauciug time. Sufficient oppor-
tunity will be allowed between
dances for exchange ot partners
and an intermission will follow
the sixth dance. The proper pro-
cedure is as follows:
1 The escort engages his lady
for the evening She Is his guest
and he directs the affairs of tho
occasion for her entertainment.
2 The escort then without de-
lay secures his program from a
member of the Student Council or
Borne other authorised agont (as-
sessment $1.10 Including tax).
3 immediately bo negotiates
with other men who hold programs
tor the exchange of dances as
they so desire and agree. In each
trade the names of tho men not
the ladies are inscribed at tho
proper entry space; eg. If Oth-
ello and lago agree to exchange
the third dance Othello writes
"lago" on line No. 8 la bio own
Othello's program; and lago con-
trariwise writes the name "Oth
ello" at the corresponding faaeo
(Ooatlauei oa rage )
