If 220-year old George Washington could return to these
United States today he would be astounded and baffled by the
thousands of changes that have come over the "Colonies" since
he walked here but it is doubtful that he would be surprised
that such changes had occurred for he founded a country with
a burning hope in his heart that she would grow and become
a great nation among nations.
As he looked about himself into the sky past towering sky-
scrapers he might wonder how eight engines can keep tons of
sleek shining metal in the air he would be curious about a
comfortable vehicle skimming over smooth highways past
familiar landscapes ; and he would find it hard to believe a man
he sees on a TV screen is actually performing some hundred
miles away but he would be pleased. Pleased to see healthy
children playing near public schools and thousands of college
ctudenls studying ways and means to improve even all this.
When told of the state of discontent of the people toward
the government of the war in Korea and of general world
turmoil he would probably frown but know being old as he is
that strife is sometimes a part of the evolution of peace and
brotherhood and that "it will all come out all right." For the
unconquerable spirit of Washington and of all the men who
lived and fought with him prepared a foundation on which a
stable republic could be built.
The "Father of the Country" would probably think that
"things are not what they used to be."
But then they never have been! ! !
TOtatt ty Say India?
Have you ever been to a basketball game where the gym was
packed with yelling people all so excited that they couldn't
keep still ? It makes you feel good all over. Then do you remem-
ber going to a game where the gym looks rather lonely? The
students who are there start off yelling but soon it seems
drudgery with so few there with so little spirit so finally every-
one becomes bored. It makes you feel dejected inside.
How do you think the players feel? They feel exactly the
way you each student feel. If you have the spirit if you
turn out for the games they'll have the spirit too! The foot-
ball teams talk about that 12th man the students backing and
yelling for their team. Well the basketball boys can have that
6th man and you should be a part of it along with every other
students on the Reservation.
We play ACC in Bennett Gym tonight. Be there! It's a lot
easier for the cagers if they know you're behind them all the
way.

ONE OK MY OLD classmates

lighter. Now sevcial of my school
chums at Big Spring High turned
out to bo fighters for Uncle Sam
In Korea a few chose sln-fightlng
as a profession a pot Hon were
hoodlums gttngflghter8) and four
went into the flreflghtlng business
but out of a class of 104 only one
bullfighter a female at that.
LIKE A LOT OF US Pat Mc-
Cormlck want away to college
the chose Texas Western at El
Paso. But last year Patricia quit
school to study the art of bull-
fighting and since has made quite
a hit with the reading public. Ex-
bullftghter Alejandro del Hlerro
her coach and sponsor has be-
lieved in Pat's courage ever since
a practice session last September
when she was knocked down
trampled and tossed in the air
and returned to kill the bull.

per yout welcome to students to

ters to the editor here I would
like to discuss a problem that con-
cerns every student living on the
campus.
I must admit that the doimlto-
rles have a very efficient system
for receiving calls and getting In-

Wesley Authority Speaks
To Ministerial Forum
The Rev. Edwin Parker pastor
of the First Methodist Church of
Odessa spoke to the Forum Wed-
nesday. He spoke to the ministerial
group about John Wesley and his
early days.
Parker toured England last sum-
mer and visited the famous shrines
of Wesley including his early home
at Epworth Oxford University
Wesley chapels and the famous
chapel on Aldersgate Street where
Wesley received the inspiration
that led to the Evangelical Revival.
dividual students to the phone.
But. on the other hand have you
ever tried to call someone outside
the dormitory? If so you are fa-
miliar with the problem to which
I am referring. If you have ever
tried to call a lady friend during
the time they are permitted to
receive calls you were probably
disippjnlted. When you came to
the phone booth it was probably
already occupied and also had a
long waiting line. And of course
each person wants to talk as long
as possible which is understand-
able because he has had to wait
for such a long time.
As if that is not enough there
are always those few people who
try to cheat the phone company
out of one measly little nickel and
invaiiably end up putting the de-
vice out of operation.
That is also very encouraging
to rush to the booth finding it not
in use for once and then discover-
ing that the phone has been put
out of order by some inconsiderate
person.
It seems to me that it would be
very easy for more pay phones
to be made available to the stu-
dents. One phone simply cannot
handle all the calls both incoming
and outgoing. A few more phones
in each dormitory would solve this
very annoying problem.
Sincerely yours
Glenneth Harrington.
BLONDE PAT really made her
debut a few weeks ago In Juarez
Mexican city across the border
from El Paso. It was a double-
header and she polished off the first
animal with little effort; evidently
he was a "shirker." The second
turned out to be a little more of a
"sporting gentleman" however.
Four times she drew the bull's
charges with neat passes once so
narrowly that blood from his flank
streaked her tight-fitting costume.
Then she came out with a series
of fancy executions and on one of
these a horn grazed and jarred
her. Now this brought all the
"Frijoles and Hot Tamales" to
their feet and they equalized the
clamor that the great Manolctc
rated when he fought years ago in
Juarez.
soon miss Mccormick grew
weaiy of all this "palaver" and
she strolled across the ring and
gave the beast a taste of the
espada; all the way to the hilt.
Then according to press releases
all havoc broke loose. The fans
poured onto the arena and the
public address announcer lost con-
trol of himself. Later the judges
awarded Pat the deceased bull's
ears which should signify some-
thing. THE BIG SPRING miss is in
Hollywood making a movie shott
and a TV appearance at present
and from there will go to New
York to a radio show. It's practice
under Coach del Hierro after that
for Mexico's bullfighting season
this summer.
ALL THIS GOES to show the
advantage of having classmates.
Who knows!! the person sitting
quietly beside you may become
President find the lost chord
track down the fourth dimension
graduate or even chop down a
mesquite tree.
