SENIOR PORTRAITS
HOMECOMING!!!!
Just one of the things at McMurry that needed to be
streamlined that's homecoming.
For years the Reservation has been in a rut on this "most
important of important" times. Each year we have a bonfire
that we face until well done and then we turn our backs to be
burnt to a crisp. Naturally lots of moaning and gnashing of
teeth is and will take place because we're having no bonfire
but here's two points. First the Abilene Fire Marshal says
"No" and secondly the Student Council has something better.
The general idea is to centralize McMurry's homecoming
activities around our theme the Indian theme. The answer is
a Tceee Village. There's to be a central Student Council Tee-
hjc and smaller ones by various clubs.
Plans are incomplete to date but other changes are to be
made. The freshmen will keep a small council fire burning from
Thursday night until gametime Saturday (It's almost as easy
for invaders to stop as to start a fire) as well as the usual tom-
tom beating starting Friday night.
And that's not all this year Campus Queen is to be known
as Reservation Princess and at least part of the coronation
ceremonies will be scheduled for the Teepee Village.
The new idea is limitless in possibilities. As the years go
more and more Indian flavor and equipment can be added. The
plan is just to make a start this homecoming.
Point is that it won't work unless the entire Student Body
supports it talks it does it.
Come on gang let's play Injuns! ! ! !

What the world wants is in Abraham Lincoln's words "A
just and righteous peace." The United Nations primary objec-
tive is to secure such a peace.
This organization's stand against aggression in Korea
shows the sincerity of their aims. The UN has also taken
strong action to the extent of its power and resources against
the hunger oppression disease and social injustice that con-
stantly haunt the world's peoples. The 'United Nations seeks to
achieve security and well being for all members of the human
family.
This week has been designated as United Nations Week by
resolution of the UN General Assembly with the purpose in
mind of stirring wider interest in and deeper concern for the
UN as the world's best hope for peace.
It is our duty as American citizens to learn more about and
to support the UN. Let this be our prayer.
God of the nations and Father of all peoples: who art our
refuge and strength in time of trouble; who dost give us the
power to direct under Thy guidance our destiny in these peril-
ous days.
In Thy great mercy bless the United Nations in all its work.
Guide the leaders who while strengthening the bodies of little
children and wiping out the ravages of war build a more abun-
dant life for all peoples everywhere. Consecrate the efforts of
those who patiently struggle to establish peace with justice
and effect the healing of the nations.
Deliver us all from self-righteousness and pride. Grant that
principle and not power be the basis of decisions among the
family of nations; that compassion and concern for the wel-
fare of all Thy children be at the center of all United Nations
deliberationsinspire all peoples we beseech Thee to do justly
love mercy and walk humbly with Thee. Amen. Anne Clark.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR

and to the "Thoioughly Disgusted
Female" whoevti she may be.
Fiist of all I would like to make
it clear that I think the principles
set toith in the two ai tides sound
good and wholesome the trouble
is that they just won't work.
It sounds decent and highly le-
spectable for a gill to say that
money tianspoitation and looks
make no difference but we men
have found out by expeilence that
those things do count. Aftei all.

ORGANIST SUE ANALYZES VOICES;
HENDRICKSON A MARRIED HALFBACK
French
by Sally Owens
This week's outstanding senior
girl is Sue French. Her home town
Is Sweetwater; she graduated from
high school at the Texas School
for the Blind In Austin.
Sue said that she rather dreaded
coming to McMurry because It
would be her
first experience
going to school
with sighted
classmates. She
added however
that only a few
days after she
arrived she felt
quite at home. Sue
Sue has learned the layout of the
cimpus so well that she can And
her way to any location on the
campus unaided.
Sue is president of President
Hall a member of Alpha Chi FTA
and was recently elected to Who's
Who. She is an organ major and
a piano minor. Sue said that here
at McMurry she received her deep
love of and appreciation for music.
Sue plans to teach In a school
for the blind after she graduates.
One of the most enjoyable things
she ever did was to present an
organ recital In July 1950.
An Interesting pastime of Sue's
is her analyzing of people's voices.
She said that some voices suggest
colors or textures to her. When
asked for specific examples she
replied that Joyce McCauley Rob-
erts her roommate had a pink or-
gandy voice and that Janice
Thompson had rich mahogany
brown voice. If you want to be
really stylish go by to see Sue
and make sure your clothes match
your voice!

MOTHER'S INTENSE JEALOUSY
WORRIES YOUNG DAUGHTER
Will White Editor-in-Chief
Ann Clark Attoclat Editor
Betty Step'-snt Buiinett Manager
Dear Brilliant One:
As a last resort I am asking
your advice about a problem which
has haunted me ever since I was
three days of age. What I am go-
ing to say will shock you.
Ever since I was a small child
my mother has been extremely
jealous of me. I am now almost
a grown woman and her jealousy
has developed Into an intense hat-
red. I don't see how anyone could
develop a hatred like hers In such
a short time.
Last year on my 60th birthday
Mother gave a party In my honor.
As I admired the cake Iced with
arsenic I sensed that Mother was
insincere in her feelings toward
me. The guests were lll-at-ease. I
felt as If the whole party was go-
ing to blow up In my face as I
lit the dynamite candle sticks.
However I managed to keep from
going to pieces and the party
turned out a booming success.
As I mentioned Mother's jeal-

Campus-Site
by Will White
A story my children.
Once upon a time there was a
coach a football coach. It was
in the year 1946 A.D. that this
coach came to a certain campus.
He served that season as assist-
ant coach and the following year
was named head coach. His team
won the conference jointly that
year; in the following year 1948
his team won the conference out-
right and in 1949 this coach
brought this certain college an-
other undisputed conference title.
A three-time winner this fellow
was now noted In the nation and
state as well as being a town and
campus hero.
Friends and well-wishers heaped
much praise and even gifts upon
this gentleman. A new car was
presented to him by a certain
group of exes. That year's school
annual was dedicated to this man
who had done so much for the
institution. Here we see this foot-
ball mentor at a pinnacle on top
of the world.
Had this man some supernatural
power to make his gridmen win
football contests or did his su-
perior material account for the
wins?
Such good fortune was not to
last forever however for disaster
seemingly struck the following
season. The ill-fated coach seemed
to have lost his rabbit's foot. His
"eleven" won only four of nine
gamea and though predicted to
take the conference crown again
failed.
Big bad fair-weather friends
now began to yell for his scalp.
"What we need Is a change in the
athletic department" they said.
Our main character survived the
criticism and non-support though
and began to prepare for the 19S1
season.
He fared no better what with
numerous freshmen and transfers
and playing stronger teams. He
won one then lost lost again and
again and then dropped a contest
to the school's ancient enemies.
"He's stupid washed up a has-
been" they said.
Wilford Moore is the same now
as he was then!
ousy dates back to my Infancy.
Shortly after my birth Mother
walked Into the nursery catching
Father and me In a tender love
scene. I tried to explain to Mother
that Father was not the man In
my life. But I had difficulty In
making her understand since I
had three wisdom teeth extracted
the day before.
Yesterday the court granted
Mother a divorce. She still is ex-
tremely jealous of me. I live In
constant fear for my life.
Oh B.O. If you will answer this
one question I think all of my
worries will be banished forever.
Do you think Les Brown will
play for the next folk-gaming ses-
sion at the S.L.C.?
Yours tearfully
Sani Jean Flush
Dear Sanl Jean:
You really have no cause to
become alarmed about this sit-
uation. Statistics have proved
that two out of every three
mothers are jealous of their
daughters.
More broken homes and di-
vorces occur from a mother's
being jealous of her daughter
than any other one thing. So do
not worry too much. There are
millions of girls who are going
through the same experience as
you. The unlearned might bo
shocked at this situation. But I
the spokesman for the Intellect
term it trivial a simple ac-
knowledgment of motherly love.
Forget all about your past.
Live for the future. You have
almost reached maturity. If you
will be yourself I think you will
experience many years of happy
normal adulthood. Your only
trouble In the future may be
a slight case of shell shock
which you contracted at your
birthday party last year. You
are certainly to be commended
for keeping your head during
the party. These birthday par-
ties can certainly be explosive
at times.
I have only one sad note to
sound In a treatise so far mark-
ed with encouragement. Les
Brown will be unable to make
the next hop at the 8.L.C. He
Is booked solid for the next
ten weeks at another school
across town. However Kammy
Saye would probably be glad to
play If so requested.
Omnipotently yours
The Brilliant One.
