describe the conference as successful
beyond the anticipations of the most
sanguine. There were represented
thirty-seven institutions from the
states of Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana,
Mississippi and Oklahoma. While the
mornings and evenings were taken up
with conference sessions, the after
moons were given over entirely to re-
creation and many interstate athletic
contests were held among the dele
gates. Oklahoma won first honors in
basket ball but lost to Texas in foot
ball by narrow margin. The open
ing hour of each session was spent in
Bible study under the most renowned
leaders in the country The confer
ence was in charge of w. D. Weather
ford of Nashville. Among the prom
inent speakers were Chas. D. Harrey
of New York, former secretary for
South America; DR. E. o, Brown of
Vanderbilt University; G. b. Houn-
shell Of the Student Volunteer Move
ment; DR.. T. B. Ray Of the Soathera

Excellent Musical Comedy at the Grand
Next Tuesday.
taking work

The Girl, the Man and the Game" "
the bright new musical fantasy in two
acts, which comes to the Grand The
atre, Tuesday, January 10Th, is de-
scribed as one of those effervescent
entertainments in which farce and
music is mixed in just the proper pro-
portions. Billy (Single) Clifford, who
is starred in the piece is provided with
a rollicking role, in which his well
known comic methods are seen at
their very best The story has to do,
in brief with a young man. who has
an eccentric uncle, who is always
travelling about. The old man sees
the pictures of Dorothy, young Amer
ican girl, and he falls desperately in
love with her He sends home to his
nephew, and asks him to go and court
her for him. The young man falls in
love with the girl on his own hook,
and writes a letter telling his uncle
that the girl is homely, drings, smokes
and has other peculiarities, and thus
the old mans love story ends at once
The uncle has always been very anx-
ious that his son should marry and
settle down, SO he offers him $4,000
when he shall marry. Getting pressed
for ready cash the young man writes
his uncle that he is married and has
a child, and the old man is very gener-
GUS and all goes well enough until the
uncle writes that he is coming home.
Then the young man gets the wife of
his friend, DR.. Merry, to pose as his
tion is kept up for some time, much
to the amusement of every one, as
many exeruciatingly funny situations
develop. Finally the tangle is solved,
the young man weds Dorothy, and
every one is happy This role gives
Mr. Clifford ample opportunity for
high class fun-making, and he has
numerous songs that are full of the
melody imaginable. Among
the songs are: "On The First Dark
Night Next Week" Billy" Home
Run Bill" Mine" Hands Up"
beautiful Love- Il Want a Girl Just
Like The Girl That Married Dear Old
Dad" "Mama's Shuffling Dance" elf
ford WALTZ - "Cino Me an Irish Come
All Ye," winnie From Winnipeg,"
"The Famous Billy Song" and several
others
Mr.. Clifford is supported by the fol
lowing metropolitan cast. Mae Col
Inns, Jack Trainor. Ida May, Bud Bra
man, Clyde f. Clifford, and Lol Mar
lowe. The production is bright and
new and costly, sad TIE offeri0v has
given satisfaction wherever it has bee
presented.

SOONER STUDENTS
SUPPORTING

The causual observer of college life
looks upon it as a round of golden
days, made delightful by athletic, so
cial gayety and undergraduate com
radeship, with an occasional hour of
study which goes to heighten the pleas
ure by contrast While college days
have a pleasant side which fingers
long in the memory, and there is much
that is fascinating about college life
the golden days are the exception rath-
er than the rule. More often than not
the way of the undergraduate is rough
with overmuch work and study if in
deed his horizon is not frequently dark
and lowering, By far the larger num-
Der of the male students at the uni
versity of Oklahoma are in whole or
part self-supporting. The latter are
greatly in the majority since the low
wages paid for work in a college town
and the limited time left the under
graduate for outside work will permit
only few to earn all their expenses.
With pluck and determination to ae-
quire college education as their chief
assets, hundreds of boys are working
their way through the state university
every year The work ranges from the
severest physical drudgery late at
night or in the gray dawn of morning
to service where fine skill or artistic
talent is necessary. A few of the
makeshift employments which are as
sisting young Oklahomans to acquire
the coveted university degree taken
at random from a long list are, work
ing on nearby farms at picking cotton,
ploughing, milking COWS and doing
chores, collecting and delivering stu
dent laundry before breakfast, taking
pictures of class scraps, night-shirt
parades, football rallies, etc. tending
furnaces, waiting tables and washing
dishes at boarding clubs and Frat"
houses, making beds and caring for
rooms at Frat" and other rooming
houses, doing janitor work at univer-
sity, working at university in library,
working at stenographer or Office clerk,
acting as agent for tailoring companies
barbering, playing for dances, cores
ponding for newspapers, working on
college paper, editing college maga-
zine, teaching in university, tutoring,
teaching private classes in Russian,
Italian and Esperanto. selling insur-
ance, digging sewer bitches, laying con-
crete. These are only few of the
many student employments. The
school differs from eastern institu-
tions in that there is very little en-
ployment for private tutors in the sub
jectstaught in the university A better
testimonial to the scholastic standing
of the student body could not be found.
Those who work their way through
say that they prefer manual labor
since it does not tend to distract their
minds from their studies as does work
requiring much mental effort The
self-supporting students in general Sc
cure the best grades and in many
cases are among the most popular in
the social activities of the undergrad
uate world

waIIen is Slated For Butler Berth.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 10. - The
long drawn out fight over the post
mastership fight at Vinita, Okla, is
coming to a head and it is understood
that if the objections of Postmaster
General Frank Hitchcock can be over
come that Ed Wallen will be named to
succeed Joseph Butler, the incumbent,
who has held the Office for two terms.
If Wallen is appointed it will overturn
the former rule of the department
that no changes in postmasterships
shall be made where the record of a
nnstmaster has been good.
