E HOLDS FIRST MEETING The Kappa Delta Pi, Baylor’s re¬ cently organized educational fratern¬ ity, will conduct its first meeting of this term next Monday evening in the Alpha Omega room located in the Memorial Dormitory. No definite plans have yet been made in regard to the election of officers, although it is expected that that will be one of the chief results of the meeting. The members are, however, looking for¬ ward to this first meeting as a social “get-together.” This new fraternity has started functioning with a great show of en¬ thusiasm, and with the choice group of students from the Educational De¬ partment which composes its member¬ ship the Kappa Delta Pi should prove to be one of Baylor’s most active or¬ ganizations. and Marguerite Bressler, reporter. Mrs. Allie Coleman Pierce is director of the organization. Frank Monroe was elected vice- president of the Glee Club with Fred Owen elected as secretary. Professor Robert Hopkins is director of the Glee Club. Prospects Good Although but two practices have been held by the ensembles, the di¬ rectors are enthusiastic over the pos- pects for the coming year. Already rehearsaj,has begun on new music and additional numbers are expected to ar¬ rive next week. Work has been start¬ ed with the taking of a tour in the early spring in view. Twenty-five re¬ ported at both meetings yesterday and a list of the members of the two clubs will be announced as soon as enroll¬ ment has been completed. This will be the end of the week, it is expected. The next rehearsals will be held Thursday afternoon at 3:30 in the stu¬ dios of the directors in Waco Hall. Tonight is “slime” night at the Waco Theatre. There will be a short yell practice at 6:30 o’clock sharp, according to Coulter Hop- pess, chief yell leader. The slimes will form in parade at the old chapel building imme¬ diately after the yell session and will march down Fifth Street to the theatre as has been the cus¬ tom for many years. Hoppess espe¬ cially urges everyone to be on time so that it will not interfere with the plans made by Mr. Harrison, manager of the Waco Theatre. The slime stunts will start at 7:15 on the stage of the theatre and Mr. Harrison will open the doors to all Baylor students. He also invites the whole student body to remain for the feature show which will begin at the conclusion of the freshman stunts. Asks Consideration Hoppess asks that everyone be con¬ siderate and refrain from damaging the theatre property in any wa.y, as Mr. Harrison has been kind enough to invite the whole student body to the show free. Music and stunts will he furnished by the “slimes” and Chief Pepster Hoppess, guarantees an interesting and amusing program for all who at¬ tend. The Baylor Chamber of Commerce will hold its regular meeting in Brooks Hall Clubroom tonigjht im¬ mediately after pep meeting, accord¬ ing to President Lynn Griffith. In¬ structions will be given concerning ap¬ plicants. Candidates for election to the organization must have their ap¬ plications in by Tuesday noon of next week.

ENGLISH TEACHERS GET BACK AFTER TRAVELS A number of instructors and teach¬ ers in the English department have been away working on their degrees or on vacations during the past sum¬ mer or longer, while others are still working o;i higher degrees and will be away from Baylor this year. Dr. Armstrong, head of the English department, has recently returned from Europe, where he spent some time in Italy, visiting many places of interest, made so by the former residence of Browning. Dr. Armstrong is now working on a story of his trip and ex¬ periences to be published in an early number of the Baylor Monthly. Miss Mittie Rogers, of this department, has recently returned from the University of Chicago, where she completed all the required work for her Master’s degree except her thesis, on which she has done much work. Miss Webb taught in a Normal school in Mississ¬ ippi during the summer. Dr. Courtney in Georgia Dr. Courtney, after teaching in the summer session here, spent some time in Georgia and Florida. Mr. Vance re- the summer in a very enjoyable and interesting trip through Greece, Egypt, Palestine and a minor sojourn in Germany. This is Mr. Vance’s sec¬ ond visit to Europe and it is expected that he will have many interesting things to tell his classes. Mrs. Monroe Carroll is in Chicago after a summer 'spent in Europe with the Baylor group of Armstrong tours. Mrs. Carroll ex¬ pects to teach there while her husband, Mr. Carroll, works on his doctor’s de¬ gree at the University of Chicago. Professor Simmons, who is in charge of the American literature, is offering a course in Waco Institute, where he will utilize some of his diligent re¬ search work in the subject of early American literature. Dr. Charles G. Smith has opened his new class in Elizabethian Literature with a large number in attendance, many of whom are graduate students. Miss Aurelia Brooks, one of the most popular teach¬ ers in the English department, is tak¬ ing her Doctor’s degree at Columbia University this fall. She will probably teach in the New York schools during George White, sports editor of the Dallas News, was favorably impressed by the Bears’ showing in practice when he watched them in their work¬ out yesterday, according to Fred Hartman. White is at the present time making a tour of the Southwest¬ ern Conference schools, getting ma¬ terial for pre-season prognostication. He had visited Arkansas prior to com¬ ing to Baylor. Each year White makes the rounds of the conference schools, gathering material on which to base his conclu¬ sions. He has done this for a num¬ ber of years. After he completes the tour, he writes up each team as he sees it, devoting an article to each, and then draws conclusions in the final article. While he was here, White visited the Texas History Library and look¬ ed up the history of the Baylor team from 1901 to the present. The new temporary and permanent stands of the Baylor University Golden Bears, at Carroll Field, will be almost completed when the Southwest Con¬ ference eleven swings into action for the first time of the season Saturday against the North Texas Teachers, ac¬ cording to Business Manager George Belew. A new seating capacity of from 11,000 to 12,000 at the Baylor field, with approximately 400 new box seats, will adequately take care of the crowds this year. This will also elim¬ inate the use of the Cotton Palace grid. A big press box, large enough to seat the local and visiting scribes, will he placed on the fifty yard line in the new west stands. Heretofore, at Car- roll Field the writers have been forced to sit on the sidelines and guess at the plays, but now they will find comfortable seats. Manager Belew states that the new stands will be used for the initial tilt regardless of whether or not the con¬ tractors have completed the work on them. Appointment of committees to de¬ cide on plays for the coming season and a committee to be in charge of try-outs next week was the chief bus¬ iness transacted last night by the Lit¬ tle Theater in a brief business session. It was urged that all those wishing to try out for the organization prepare themselves for the try outs, to be held next Monday evening. Following the meeting, the members gathered in the home of Miss Sarah Lowrey, sponsor of the organization, for a social. MEETS; DISCUSS RULES Plan Advisory Council To Assist Present Body; Con¬ sider Law Enforcement Will Demonstrate Ability For First Time At Tonight’s Pep Rally Carter King, sophomore in the University from Albany, Texas, was elected yesterday morning at ten o’clock during the chapel period at Waco Hall to fill the position of assistant yell leader, left vacant when one of the yell leaders did not register for this term. There were a total of only four hundred and eighty-five votes cast for the three competing candidates. King received two hundred and eighty-two; Louis E. Morgan, one hundred and twenty-three and Billie Ford White, eighty. The voting was very light considering the number of students enrolled in the University for the fall term and the number present at the election was small. Yell Leaders Preside The ballots were counted by a com¬ mittee composed of the present yell leaders and some of the presidents of last years upperclasses. The election was turned over to Hoppess and his assistant Hayden, after a short chapel exercise conducted by Dean W. S. Al¬ len. King will take up his duties as as¬ sistant yell leader at tonight’s pep ral¬ ly, which will feature the “slimes” in a program at the Waco Theatre after a short and snappy yell practice which will start immediately at 6:30, according to Hoppess. Berean Class Groups Formed At Meeting • Ten group captains of the Berean class of Seventh and James Baptist church met in the Baylor cafeteria last night to divide the class members into groups. Officers of the class named at the Sunday meeting of the class are Carroll Ratliff, Will Haynes, and Ross Scgrest, vice presidents; Herbert Schwetmrjn, secretary; and Kenneth Walker, treasurer. Andrew Armistead is president of the class and T. J. Logue, Waco business man, is teacher. Dr. White, of Dallas Today’s Chapel Speaker Dr. William R. White of Dallas will he the chapel speaker this morning. Dr. White is executive secretary of the Southern Baptist Convention and holds a doctor’s degree from Baylor conferred on him last Commencement when he preached the baccalaureate sermon. He conducted the annual Baylor revival in 1929. “Dr. White is an excellent, eloquent speaker,” Dr. W. S. Allen stated in announcing the chapel program. The speaker attended Baylor in the school year of 1913-14. He is an A.B. grad¬ uate of Howard Payne and received a Th.M. degree from the Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary at Ft. Worth. In addition to serving as pas¬ tor at Lubbock, Royse City, and Greenville, he has taught at the Semi¬ nary. The Student Council of Brooks Hall, holding their first regular meeting of the school year in the dormitory club room last night, discussed the feasibil¬ ity of having an advisory council to act in coordination with the present council elected by the dormitory stu¬ dent body. The advisory council would probably be composed of former mem¬ bers of the Student Council who are still in school. The question of controlling exces¬ sive noise during study hours was con¬ sidered also. House laws state that phonograph playing and loud talking should cease after eight o’clock at night. The Council this year is to make a special drive encouraging neatness and cleanliness in rooms. The advisability and means of pur¬ chasing a radio for the ciub room was also taken up at the meeting. Travis Johnson, Alumnus, Wins Musical Contest The annual Atwater-Kent audition, recently held, was won by Travis Johnson, a Baylor graduate. Johnson, now a resident of Dallas, was a stu¬ dent under Professor Robert Hopkins while in the University. Leon Sparks, a Baylor student from Waco, was al¬ so won at Waco. DEAN FLOWERS SPEAKS MINISTERS TO MEET turned to his desk after having spent] her stay here. Business will feature the initial meet¬ ing of the Ministerial Association this afternoon at 3:30 in Dr. Tidwell’s Bible room, announced Rev. Roger Butler, president of the association. He urges that all ministerial students be present. Over Four Thousand Register At Texas U. Registration for the current session at the University of Texas reached the 4,118 mark Saturday afternoon at 6 o’clock. Saturday’s total brings the registration up to 87 more than at the same time last session. Many students who registered Sat¬ urday afternoon did not pay their fees and therefore were not counted in the total given. ENROLLMENT NOW 1324 Enrollment for the fall quarter is now 1324. Fifteen were enrolled yes¬ terday and a few more are expected to enroll during the week. Dean Allen G. Flowers, dean of the law school, will speak at the First Baptist Church at Itasca next Sunday night, according t o information re¬ ceived from him yesterday. He did not give his subject. FRANK GUITTARD VISITOR Mr. Frank Guittard, graduate of the Baylor School of Law, was a visitor on the campus Monday. He has be¬ gun his lawyers career in Victoria, Texas, where he now has a growing practice. ii HOW TO TELEPHONE MEMORIAL DORMITORY” “A name, a name, my kingdom for a name.” The question, or sliould we say answer, puzzling lie-male students now is what to call the newly erected, dedicated, and inhabited Women’s Memorial Dormitory. When the late girls dormitory, erected back in the rustic range days of 1876, was built, the rather auspici¬ ous epithet of Georgia Burleson Hall, “dedicated to female education and piety,” was given the building. But such a tongue-twisting telephone-pro¬ voking title could not long prove popular, so it was shortened to G. B. Hall, thus offering a hypothetical freshman for new slimes to page from the Brooks Hall courtyard on their first night in Waco. But G. B. didn’t sound sufficiently classical to meet the demands of all concerned so the girls domicile was called Burleson Hall. Now a new problem confronts the users of the telephone who are in a hurry to talk to the co-eds latest abid¬ ing place. Women’s Memorial Dormi¬ tory proves too much of a mouthful of vowels and consonants to suit the always-in-a-hurry Baylor stude. Fol¬ lowing the example previously set in reference to Burleson Hall and calling for M. D. simply doesn't meet with any response from the telephone operators. Perhaps the gift of Texas women will be known as W. M. D. but that also entails the use of more syllables than is satisfactory. Calling the Sixth and Speight street structure "New Dorm” is short enough but will hardly be distinctive in a few years. Perhaps “Memo dorm” will be used, or, if the Baylor exchange isn’t work¬ ing, simply ring for 5222K, and don’t stutter.
