You get what
you expect
Howard Payne students have a set of ex-
pectations which are unique to this campus. We
expect the basketball team to win so at games it
is not necessary to show too much spirit because
they don't let us down often. We expect the foot-
ball team to lose so again who get worked up at
the games?
We also expect the cafeteria food to be bad the
ministerial students to be fanatic the Senate to
be ineffective the girls (or guys) to be un-
desirable and the list goes on.
Pessimism and apathy are highly com-
municable and can infiltrate a student body
rather quickly. Before long almost everybody
falls into the rut of expecting things at Howard
Payne to be bad just because it has always
seemed that way or we have heard it was that
way.
The status quo is a hard thing to change but
sometimes it is not good and could use some
shaking up.
Try looking on the bright side. If you enter the
cafeteria with a positive attitude you could be
pleasantly surprised! Ministerial students like
aspirin are not all alike so get acquainted with
some of them. Show a little more spirit at all
sports events or we may lose some of the winning
traditions to which we are accoustomed.
Come on Howard Payne! Shake off some of
those negative attitudes and let's make this a
more productive campus.

In new business the
American Chemical Society
submitted its constitution to the
senate to be approved so they

too vague and needed more
detail. The constitution will be
returned to the Society for
revision and later consideration
by the senate.
Melissa Roberts proposed an
addition to the senate standing
rules which read no
organization shall prohibit
membership to a senator on the
sole grounds of his senatorship.
The proposal as stated would go

pus organization would not
allow senators to be a member
of their executive board

posed a conflict of interests.
