I'roresBor Caldwell has offered a
prize of twenty-five dollars to the
member of his American History III

the subject which has been presented
to him. All of the themes are of a
historical nature and most of them
are concerned with the period of
American history from the Revolution
to the Mexican war. Each contestant
has to present a bibliography of his
theme, an outline, and then the theme
proper. The work is to be Judged on
the score of originality, style and research.
Professor Caldwell will appoint a
committee, probably of professors, to
pass judgment on the themes, and
their decision will be final. The prize
will be awarded in the latter part of
the year.
The University of Texas is at a low
ebb financially. Unless the legisla
ture makes a substantial appropria
tion there is danger of having to close
the doors. The Daily Texan, however,
is of the opinion that the funds will
be forthcoming.
C. A. Hauptman, selected by the
Y. M. C. A. to have charge of the Uni
versity Night program, on being Inter
viewed, said:
"The time will soon be here, sooner
than most of us anticipate, when the
whole student body will again have
the opportunity of participating in an
evening of satirical display of life
about this busy old campus of ours
University Night.
"Heretofore the various organiza
tions, fraternities, departments, clubs,
or any group desiring to stage a stunt
portraying some phase of life about
the University were given the oppor
tunity to present their playette, com
edy, pantomine, or any stunt as they
chose.
This year the committee is work
ing to improve matters by getting an
early start In asking for a concise
synopsis of each stunt or act, it is the
purpose of the committee in charge to
make the best choice possible.
"Several of the departmental organi
zations chose their committees early
in the semester and have things well
under way.
"The briefs or synopsis must be in
by February 1 in order to deal justly
and enable the Immediate action of
the individual committees.
"Get busy! .Let's make it the best
ever!"
FRED LARSON VISITS
PHARMACY DEPARTMENT
Located at Pine Bluffs, Wyominj
Graduated From University
Last February
The pharmacy department was
greatly surprised when Fred T. Lar
son, a last year's graduate, confronted
us with the same big, hearty smile
that so characterized him when at the
University.
Mr. Larson is now located at Pine
Bluffs, Wyoming, having a third In
terest in a very successful drug com
pany of that place.
Mr. Larson graduated from the
School of Pharmacy last February,
and after very successfully passing
the Wyoming State Board of Phar
macy examination, at once obtained
the position which he now holds.
The department is very proud of
Mr. Larson and his success.

in Charge of the Work

the study most interesting and help
ful. Some bring lunch, others bring
sewing, but all enjoy the informal dis
cussion.
GERMAN DRAMATIC
CLUBPLAY FRIDAY
Preparations Maturing Rapidly for
Production Proceeds Go to
Red Cross Society
Last Season Was Especially Rich in
Spectacular Plays and Long Runs
Seventeen Touchdowns
From Kick-Off
The German Dramatic Club play,
"Das Verlorene Paradies," by Ludwig
Fulda, which is to be presented next
Friday night at the Temple Theatre,
is fast nearing completion. Elaborate
preparations have been made in scenic
effects and this, together with the fact
that the rehearsals have reached that
stage where only finishing touches are
added here and there, makes' a suc
cessful presentation assured.
Since the proceeds of the play are
to be turned over to the" American Red
Cross Society, the staff has been work
ing hard, and has been fortunate in
securing the support and services of
outside interests. Mr. C. B. Scott and
his orchestra will furnish the music.
Without further remarks, a delightful
and pleasing musical program is a
certainty.
The Hardy Furniture Company is
very kindly placing the necessary fur
niture at our disposal. Tickets are
now selling rapidly ana students
should avail themselves of the oppor
tunity of getting seats early while
there is yet a choice. Secure them at
the Temple or at Harry Porter's; 25,
35 and 50 cents. Remember, Friday
night, January 15, at the Temple.
Those of our readers who have been
following Mr. Davis' interesting serial
will probably be sorry to learn that
but one installment remains to be pub
lished. In all probability Mr. Davis is
the champion statistician of our time.
Today he will tell us how many touch
downs were made from the kick-off,
how many from punts, and also the
especially spectacular touchdowns
made from scrimmage. The Editor.
