Students pull together
by Melody Frerich
"It's going to be fine . . .
A bit groggy for a while
but it'll pull through." The
vet picked up the smokey
gray kitten and put it in
Sharon Russell's arms as I
prepared to go out front
and pay the bill - something
I would not have been able
to do without the contribu-
tions of a unique and
awesome group of people.
Thomas Taylor once said
that students at Howard
Payne were like the British
Empire in that the sun
never set on them. Smokey
a kitten that strayed up to
the campus recently is
proof that truer words were
never spoken in that
without a motivated car-
ing group of students she
might not have lived to see
another setting sun.
Last Friday as the kitten
was being petted and
played with I noticed a BB
size hole behind her ear. On
closer inspection we found
it infected and parasitic
One of the guys nearby sug-
gested she be killed to
avoid letting her suffer. I
decided to call the vet and
get an estimated price on
treatment before using

such drastic measures.
After giving him an idea
of the injury the vet
estimated the treatment
would cost about $30. I
relayed this message and a
few guys offered an alter-
nate plan for free. At the
time it seemed hopeless
and I almost agreed to let
them put her out of her
misery. But the vet said he
would be open until noon on
Saturday so I suggested we
try to see how much money
could be raised overnight
We made our appeal to
several friends who said
they would see what they
could do. In the meantime
an occasional dollar was

donated and by the time
we left the cafeteria at
6:00 we had collected
$14.00.
Even though we had rais-
ed half the amount I still
was not sure we could raise
all of it. But after leaving
the cafeteria and going to
my room I got a phone call
from David Heathcock.
He'd collected $10.50 from
the guys on his floor in
Jennings.
A second surprise came
later that night when
Sharon came up and said
she'd collected over $10.00.
With that information we
had exceeded our goal and
done so in less than five
hours.
The next morning Larry
Norris Sharon and I took
her to the Animal Clinic
where she was treated and
released. It was at that
happy time that Sharon
and I decided that our cam-
pus kitten should have a
name befitting this honor.
Since HP's steeped on
tradition she was prompt-
ly dubbed Smokey - a
characteristic of one of the
oldest symbolic traditions
on campus: Old Main.

Local DJ has nostalgic
card collection
by David Dolezal
One of my favorite hob-
bies as a kid was collecting
Topps baseball and football
cards. Each day my
friends and I would hurry
down to the five and dime
store and spend our
hardearned allowances on
them.
I felt proud of the number
of cards I'd accumulated.
That was until recently
when I met someone whose
collection would fill every
shoebox Emelda Marcos
ever owned.
No he's not a profes
sional card collector but
many would envy his job.
He is Peter Scott a disc
jockey for KISS FM. here
in Brownwood.
"I've been collecting
cards since Junior High
and I now have between
10000 and 15000 cards in
my collection" said Scott.
That collection includes a
1970 Pete Rose 1973 Mike
Schmidt 1972 Rod Carew
and Dwight Goodens'
rookie card. He also has the
complete set of cards
which are about 700 player
cards from 1973 to 1987.
Scott has attended shows
in which collectors buy sell
Ministry. Rosendo Lopez is
Missions Associate. He
coordinates and assigns the
group to a mission or
church. From there a
pastor assigns them
specific jobs. Some pro-
jects might be winterizing
homes for example.
Wayman said that the
students who went last
year had a great time.
They worked for Carlos
Dela at the Emmanuel
Baptist Church on North
McFetridge in Harbinger.
Wayman sincerely hopes to
make this an annual event.
Students will be required
to keep a daily log of their
experiences and how they
react to them. Special
times in the evenings will
be set aside to discuss
specific topics and student
observations. Such issues
as unemployment and
discrimination will likely
be brought up for
and trade with other card
enthusiasts.
"Last July I went up to
Abilene to a card show and
some guy tried to sell me a
Dave Magaden for $3.00"
said the Wisconsin native.
For those of you who don't
know Dave Magaden he is
a reserve player for the
New York Mets.
Some of the factors that
determine the value of
each card are the age
popularity of the player
supply of that particular
card and how bad the col-
lector wants the card.
There are books you can
buy that tell you what each
card is worth.
"The New York Yankees
and New York Mets
players' cards are worth a
lot more because of the fact
they are New York" said
the music director of KISS.
Scott considers the East
Coast and California as the
hot bed of card collecting.
"Last year I thought
about attending the Na-
tional Convention in Dallas
but I wasn't able to make
the trip" says the D.J. who
works the ten to three shift.
Scott believes the
discussion.
Wayman and associate
Dr. Ian Jones also a pro-
fessor of sociology and
' social work. have applied
for approval for this trip to
count for continuing educa-
tion credits for licensed
professional counselors
and certified social
workers. They are still
awaiting this decision from
the University.
If this passes favorably
Wayman estimates that
about 20 or more will make
the trip because it also will
be extended to members of
the community who need
continuing education
credits not just students.
If you are a ministerial
student psychology major
sociology major or have a
similar interest and wish to
make the trip contact Jim
Wayman Newman Hall
room 134 ext. 400.
popularity of card collec-
ting is growing in all of the
big cities. He also said that
the cost of collecting has
risen tremendously.
"When I first started
buying cards they were a
nickel a pack now they're
up to forty cents" said
Scott.
Scott's collection isn't
here in Brownwood but
back at his parents' home
in Wisconsin.
"Basically I have them
in shoe boxes back home.
My parents know that I
have a lot of money wrap-
ped up in them so now they
don't think the idea of col-
lection cards is so stupid"
said Scott with a smile.
"I also had a football
card collection until five
years ago when I sold them
for $50 and the complete set
of 1978 baseball cards"
remembered Scott. "Now
looking back I wish I'd
kept them."
He says he will keep col-
lecting cards as long as he .
can afford them.
"Whenever I settle down
I'll send for my cards but
until then they will stay
back home in Wisconsin."
