 in Texan Stick His Neck
 Out.
 Washington, Dec. -Presi- dent John Nance Garner did the unprecedented in endorsing Con- gressman Sam Rayburn of Texas for the house floor leadership, be- cause Roosevelt wanted him to, be- cause Rayburn is his old and close friend, and because Garner felt sure his public declaration would have the effect of cinching Ray burns victory.
 MT. Garner is not given to stick ing his neck out. He operates on the theory that vice presidents should be seen as little as possible and heard not at all.
 So 1t required plenty of motiva- tion to cause him to inject him. self publicly into a situation whcih technically and theoreti- cally is an affair solely of the house--Mr. Garner being presi- dent of the senate.
 His announced promise to work for Rayburn's election was a piece of the administration strategy which calls for mailing down the leadership before the president re- turns from South America, both to spare the White House em- barrassment and to ease of the inevitable bitterness which will follow the probable defeat of Rules Chairman John O'Connor of New York, Rayburn's chief opponent. Tip for House Members
 The Garner statement, timed and planned with the rest of the pro- Rayburn campaign, was also de- signed to help make up the minds of new democratic members and some old ones who weren't sure how they meant to vote, but might be promptly persuaded if they knew Roosevelt were for Rayburn. O'Connor supporters had been insisting-and they still dO-that O'Connor was the presidents per sonal preference.
 Bright boys all knew different. They saw working behind the scenes for Rayburn various gents who, if the White House hadn't passed the word on, would never have moved finger in the house contest.
 Garner, in effect, rut the ad- ministration's seal of approval on Rayburn and if any doubtful con- gress wants personal, private aS- surance from the vice president, he can get 1t.
 There are 335 democrats in the next house, 50 1t takes l68 votes to nominate in caucus the demo- crat who will be the next major ity leader and. probably before long, the next speaker. O'Connor has claimed 200 votes; Rayburn has said he could count on a few less than that. Rayburns claims have been the more gener- ally accepted but O'Connor is more adept than the Texan at making deals and some of the administra- ton strategists were somewhat worried until Garner spoke.
 Chief Strength in North
 O'Connor strength has been chiefly in northern states which have large delegations. AS chair man of the rules committee. he was able to make many members in- debted to him by granting the rules which allowed their pet bills to reach the floor.
 Two years ago the administra- tion made 8 futile, covert effort to elect Rayburn speaker instead Of the late Joe Byrns of Tennessee.
 Garner was at that time asked to take a hand for Rayburn, but he took one look and reported the attempt was hopeless.
 This time Garner was sure Ray burn, who has won administra- ton favor by able handling of im- portant New Deal legislation fought by stock exchange and pub lie utility interests, could be put over.

NATURE SHOWS
INTERESTING
VARIATIONS
Ear Of Corn Surrounded By IL
Others. Calf Seeks Food
From Equine

Mr.. Carl Ross brought to the
Democrat" office this week quite a
curiosity in the way of an ear of
corn.
This particular specimen came out
from the husk with a central ear
measuring about inches in length
and adhering to this from what might
be called the lower end, were Eleven
smaller ears of various sizes.
The corn was raised on the Chin
colleague Farms and there is no diff
Guilty in distinguishing the smaller
clinging growths.
Another freak in the way of animal
life was shown by a photograph
brought to the office by Mr.. How
ard a farmer of this vicinity.
The picture showed a very young
calf industriously seeking a meal
from very willing and patient mem
Der Of the equine family. The moth
err of the calf had died and the 9TH
er female was endeavoring to supply
the loss without distinction of ami
NAL genera.
Such friendship between different
types of created things are not SO
very rare. Cats and birds have made
friends with each other and dogs have
also associated peacefully with the
felines. There is a maternal instinct
in these animals which does not al
ways choose their kind to lavish af-
lection, but form strange and un-
natural intimacies.

Now, some of the praying I've
heard these fellows do, didn't come
cut of a prayer book or from a heart
o'er-charged with righteousness. I've
CLEANED the idea that their piety in
habits regions where prayers would
have to descend instead of taking
aerial flights, to reach the Omnipo-
tent ears. Their prayers were most
ly cussin', and they didn't deal much
in beatitudes. If they prayed at all,
it was that the season would end in
enough victories to save their job.
They envisioned the criticisms of
alumni OF fans when a season has been
shot full of holes by defeats, and the
winters coal bill looked mighty big.
Maybe they did pray a little more
fervently for success, but when it
seemed slipping, human nature ex-
pressed itself in terms most emphat-
ic.
So, the devout position of the coach
might be of a double nature-divide
it yourself.

Whitener Proposes
Alumni Dancing
To Student Body
(From The Pioneer)

E. K. Whitener brought be-
fore the student body a PROPOSE
ton which has long been a debated
subject: that of alumni enjoying
the social functions at Catawba.
Mr.. Whitener gave a speech in ia
vor of this and asked that the en-
tire student body express their per-
sonal opinion by voting on slips of
paper which were passed to the
students. The result was that only
two students were against it. Due
to such an expressed affirmative
voice this subject will be consider
ed by the Board of Trustees at their
next meeting.
If the Board should allow this, it
would mean that dancing would
no longer be a failure at Catawba.
1t would mean that we could have
bigger and better" orchestras to
entertain US. The alumni would
not only be invited to the dances
but to all of Catawba's social fun
ctions. This would be a word of
welcome to all of the Catawba's
students, present and past.

The date of Catawba's annual
Campus and Homecoming Day has
been set for October "a, the day
that Catawba plays Guilford in
football, and the day that has been
chosen for the dedication of the
new grandstand on Shuford athletic

in 1888, and has since been held an
nually, each year profiting from the
preceding years in color and origi-
nality, and in its present form, Of
fers a spectacle we'll worth the while
of all Alumni to witness. On
Campus Day, each class adopts
some theme, unknown to the other
classes, in which it uses for develop
ment of that theme only the class
colors. Every effect must be
brought about by the use of only
the two class colors. Glasses. may
adopt such themes as Valentines
Day, some political issue, OR some
particular nationality, such as In
dams, or Alpine people.
This year, Campus and Home
coming Day promises to be the best
ever held, by reason of the large.

take part, and by the early interest

promises to yield plenty Of fun for
all, the new students especially, and
for a renewing of acquaintance
for the many alumni expected to be
present.
In the morning, there is a parade
of all classes to the North campus,
where class songs are sung, and
stunts sometimes presented. Points
are awarded for rendering of songs,
beauty of costume, and the success
in carrying out Of the theme. In
the afternoon, the Homecoming
Day football game is played, at
which time, between the halves, the
