tion . Ir Guv D Newman our president.
Si ldmu is ihi ic In be seen a man of such caliber and con-
viction in such a position Manv times have the hearts and minds
ol students and lacultv been spurred by one of his Chapel talks.
Di Newman is one who believes in motivation. He has said
th.it tin to aio loin m ijiii items he learned from his youth.
"I'nst I liMiiud that without motivation a drifting is inevit-
able II ou don't hae something to drive you to a goal you are
smipK detonod and turned aside from life's mam pin pose.
"Second if 1 had had as much foresight as I now have past
knowledge reahtim the alue of education in preparation for life
I would make anv sacnlico loasonable to get a college education.
"Thud. I believe that no one is ever too old to go to school
if he is phvsicallv able and mentally capable of doing work on
the college level.
"Fotnth mv supreme desire is to properly motivate youth so
that thev mav loahe their full potentialities."
Di Newman enteied Bavlor University as a freshman at the
me ol 2S Twentv voars latoi he received the Doctor of Theology
deincc from the seminal v
Dining those voars however he also was assistant pastor
ol Si vi nth and James Baptist Church in Waco; was pastor of

ALIEN LETTERS
A few weeks ago an announcement concerning letters other
than those aw aided bv Ho waul Pavne was made in chapel. The
announce mont appauntlv went unheard or unheeded.
In voais past a standing precedent has formed concerning
those littcis Students have been asked to remove the letters from
the jackets oi not to wear the jacket itself. This isn't a new rule.
It has bun m effect for seveial ears.
Pei hips the controversv over wearing letters not awarded at
Howard Pavne inav si em tnvial. Yet in the minds of manv it is
.i situation whoie lovaltv plus tradition prevail.
Wo as membeis of the student bodv owe our first allegiance
to How aid Pavne and hoi ideals High school and even other
colleges arc behind us 'I hose honors we gained there are part of
som'-thing th it "was" Our most important goal now concerns
what "is " In other woids wo .tie no longer a part of thase schools
and colleges Wo are a part of Howard Payne. As a result in a
tradition-mmded college such as HPC letters awarded by other
schools are not considered appropriate or in good taste to wear
on this campus.
Quito often litters can be removed from jeckets without
damaging the jacket 'I his is one solution. However it is realized
other times the littcis cannot be removed or the students do not
wish to lomovo them In such a case the following suggestion
was present! d to the Student Senate. A piece of cloth could be
siwn ovei the le ttei covering it jet still making the jacket ap-
propriate for campus wear. Other students choose not to wear
then lette-i jackets until they leave campus and return to the place
wheic the letter could be appieciated by all.
Tradition is held high on any campus. Loyalty Is a major
characteristic of any "top" student.

A second i ontest advertisement
in an exchange paper heralded a
ennti-st to answer In 25 words
"Why are so many college men
switching to pipes?"
According to some of the statis-
tics revealed in the information
apparently more than G5 percent
of college coeds prefer a man who
smokes a pipe Also from this
same national reseat ch organiza-
tion comes the fact that the per-
centage of college pipe smokers
has increased some 15 percent
s-ineo Woild War II.
Mind .vou it's not being con-
doned It's merely thrown out as
a point of interest.
And something else . . . joke of
the week is that one about a
scientist who invented a spray that
would make things come to life.
Alread hoard it? Well wo won't
bother.
Bet vou got fakoil out. Thought
jou'd never hoar it huh?
Anyway the mad little scientist
takes the spray into a park and
caietulb soaks a hugh statue of
Gen. Robert E Lee on a horse.
Coming to life Leo steps down
off the horse and starts brushing off
his cap.
Astonished tho scientist asks
' Tell us Gen. Lee . . . what's the
fiist thing vou're going to do now?"
Still brushing off his coat Leo
replies "Ahm a gonna got me a
shotgun and Ahm a gonna kill me
about two million pigeons "
Study hard kiddos and take
some- advice- "Need some fun? Join
the paper staff."
With five phones in the office
tilings become a mite bit con
fusing sometimes especially since
four of them are on the same two
extension numbers
.1 R BEVERS for instance pick-
ed up one of the two 51! phones
and was' going to call Taylor Hall.
One of the -i"'s rang and MISS
MARTIN ran in the other office to
answer it.
.1 R chuckled and then confes-
sed. "It's me Miss Mai tin I was
thinking U7 was the boy's dorm."
