CRY FROM THE GREEN
The grass says: "Your feet are killing me!"
This is a true cry from the green. Every year we are re-
minded that the place for us to walk is on the sidewalks in-
stead of the grass and every year when these reminders
come out we have a habit of overlooking them.
As the days pass on we become more engrossed in our
activities around the campus and fail to heed the cry of the
grass. We rush across the campus and cut the corners of
the sidewalk. This only makes our campus unattractive and
marred with trails.
It will take the co-operation of each co-ed to keep our
campus beautiful so let's keep off the grass.

The Jackets9 Nest
By RONNIE BELL
If any of you were taking an
early Sunday morning drive be-
tween the hours of 3:30 and 6
o'clock last Sunday you may
have seen four very disgusted
but laughing boys. It so hap-
pened that Von Dell Drinkard
Norman Bennett Bob Benbow
and I were walking home from
the ball game because we ran out
of gas in Camp Bowie.
Mr. Parker delivered a helpful
as well as a very amusing talk
in chapel last Monday. The prob-
lem of parking proved to be a
very humorous situation; how-
ever he was referring to day-
time parking and alone at that!
Let's try to help him by observ-
ing all daytime parking regula-
tions. Regardless of the score the
HPC-Southwest Texas game was
great. Those Jackets really gave
them a run for their money.
Boys don't let that defeat get1
you down; we're still behind you
all the way.
Barbara Davis was afraid she
would have to wear only one shoe
Jfor the rest of the school year as
a result of losing one on the band
trip. However Frances Lamb
saved the day by locating the
lost shoe and returning it to its
very distressed owner.
that it was a double-play record
and the title was composed of
two titles.
The other night a musical-
minded boy tried out his talent
on the radiator pipes in Taylor
Hall. I'll bet Mr. Cain would like
to hear the musician. He might
have a place for him in the band.
David Willis was telling that
HPC might not have Rodeo Week
this year. I certainly hope the
rumor is false. Everyone seems
to enjoy the change of atmos-
phere that western clothes brings.
If any of you have any idea as
to the whereabouts of four work
horses and a wagon please con
tact Sue Howard. She is in des-
perate need of them.
There are many new couples
around the campus. Some of
them r.'-e Mickey Walker and
Beth Jcnes Alfred Holcomb and
Beverly Murray Don Dendy and
Vivian Pursley and Carlene Bak-
er and Thomas Atwood. Then
there are those who have been
around a little longer Don
(Bird Dog) Martin and Betty
Boedelf r Royce Denton and
Nola Ennen and Roy Kornegay
and Jeanette Sewell.

AT A STUDENT ALTAR
Father God may the study lamp
be my burning candle the desk
my altar.
May these days as a student
become a stewardship of
myself.
May I give myself to the vocation
of scholarship
Becoming a careful workman for
You.
May college not become a mere
preparation for life and a
vocation
But life and vocation itself
meaningful and whole.
Grant that I may see as sacrificial
my study.
Not for own glory but to Your
greater glory.
I would learn the essential things
well
I would desire to be of real
service to the world
To see fame with cool eyes
And failure without fear of
reputation.
Create me sensitive to the great
problems of mankind
To know great tasks with the
courage to put away childish
things
And be filled with great thought.
May the awareness of debt to
parents friends and society
Make an humble human of me.
Encourage and refresh me when
I come to think of my work as
boresome
Drawn out and unproductive.
Strengthen me Father as a
faithful student of Your work
to answer You
For You have called me into
Your service as a learner.
Amen.

about the trip to San Marcos and
was informed of a new song that
he heard in a restaurant in Lam-
pasas. "What Will I Do Down by
the Ole Mill Stream" was the
title but I was later informed
the wet paint and all the confu-
sion knowing that the building
is being redecorated. Things are
really unorganized around here
though.
Well I'll see you at the game.
Parker Stresses Import
Of Student Obeyance
Of Crosswalk Signs
Bobby Parker dean of students
has stated that all students have
not been obeying the intersection
and cross-walk signs. He urges
every student to obey these signs.
The Brownwood chief of police
has stressed that if a .student is
hit while crossing the street and
he was not in the cross-walk then
the person who hit him is not re-
sponsible for the accident.
There is a city ordinance
against "jaywalking" and the
students should be aware of the
danger in it.
Values Surmised
In Business Call
"The character of the business
man: how much foresight hon-
esty courage reside in the busi-
ness man? Enough to bring bout
the age of abundance?"
According to Henry R. Luce in
the August Fortune magazine
quoting from an essay written by
Alfred N. Whitehead "A great
society is a society in which its
men of business think greatly of
their functions."
Whitehead according to Luce
should be appointed the official
philosopher of the International
Congress of Scientific Manage-
ment if there were one appoint-
ed because of his many potent
views of the day one of which
is expressed as follows: "Man-
kind is now in one of its rare
moods of shifting its outlook. The
mere compulsion of tradition has
lost its force. It is our business
philosophers students and prac-
tical men to recreate and re-
enact a vision of the world in-
cluding those elements of rever-
ence and order without which
society lapses into riot and is
penetrated through and through
with unflinching rationality.
Such a vision is the knowledge
which Plato identified with vir
tue. Epochs' for which .
vision has been widespread are
the epochs unfading in the mem-
ory of mankind." And so H. R.
Luce takes as his text the theme
reverence and order. Virtue and
vision.
"How will you phrase both
what we are fighting for and
what is the necessary condition
of abundance? Perhaps some of
you think that economics can be
separated from politics or that
abundance can be realized by
other than democratic means.
With all respect I should say
that such an ambiguous opinion
is a disastrous error." This is just
the beginning of a very very
thought-provoking article.
Do you feel that you must have
a new car well at least some
time? The "Big Year for Small
Cars" in the same issue of For-
tune will appeal to you.
