Today's Keynote
The achoulglrl iJnorti la oat
And the question-mark figure seen
on so many campuses a few years ago
is definitely not in fashion anymore
Miss Ellen Kelly Instructor In phys-
ical education for women pointed out
Saturday
“Girls are becoming Increasingly
conscious of the way they stand
I Miss KelU-y stated “Aa a whole they
know how thej should stand much
bettr than they used to although
! they are careless at times about their
carriage

-Verifying this statement are the
1(17 girls listed on the good-posture
honor sheet for this fail three times as
many as there were two years ago
and half again as many as there were
last year
Mias Kelly attributes the Improved
! posture conditions and posture know-
pledge to the fact that mors training
Is being given in the high schools thru
physical education departments
Another factor la the girls' own dis-
covery that the clothes which they

WASHINGTON' Oct 12 — UPi — Ten
states have barred the communist
party from the November 5 election
Isdlot — four of them on the ground
that It favors overthrow of the Ameri-
can form of government
The ten are Arizona Arkansas
Georgia Illinois Kansas Kentucky
(Hilo Washington Indiana and West
Virginia
Another state— Wisconsin— has tv-
fused the party places cm ths ballot
because it has failed to poll sufficient
votes In prior elections hut has at
lowed four of its candidates to run
as Independents
Earl Browder present - communist
rtndklaie for president also made
the race In 103d He rceived 80150
votes in approximately 35 states
The communist party has seven
candidates for ths senate 21 for the
house nine for governor and 21 for
other state offices
Males banning communist party
randklates on the ground that the
party advocates overthrow of the gov
ernment an Arisons Arkansas Geor-
gia and Washington
The party lost Its lwllot fight In
Kentucky when the courts held that
1-11 nanus had ts-rn “fraudulently
signed lo communist nominating pe-
titions and the stute attorney general
mini this reduced the tulul nanus to
Iwktw the required 1JXHI
Improved postures have been
shown by many girls who have
taken remedial elates for one or two
semesters
These classes are regarded with en-
thusiasm by the sophomores altho
freshmen enrolling In them are some-
times disssppointed because of the er-
roneous conception that all one does
In class Is sleep This belief la so
changed as some of the class mem-
bers are only too willing to confirm
Moat of the girls on the good pos-
ture list will enter the posture con-
test In connection with Health week
which begins Monday Judges for the
contest which will be held at 4 o'

versity of Texas Longhorns thru to a dramatic 19 to 16 triumph over
the numbed Oklahoma Sooners at the Cotton Bowl stadium
Forced to their knees at the outset by Jack Jacobs Oklahoma
back Texas finally grabbed Crain’s coat-tails and a vital break to
pull it out of the fire before 35000 screaming fans
The two Jacks — Crain and Jacobs— duelled all afternoon in an
offensivofshow that made this game far and away the tingler of the
40-year rivalry of the neighboring state schools
Ironically a grand “under-fire"
