The past week marked some-
thing completely new in the history
of the University of Dallas. In the
words of S.C. President Nolan
Stutzman, "Spirit Week, was one of
the biggest events we’ve ever had
Jiere. It has made the Student
Council into something more than a
dance Committee; It has made this
school into something bigger than it
was."
Parlaimentarian Rich Tilghman,
the man to whom most of the credit
for Spirit Week is due, had this to
say: "It was actually a much bigger
success than I thought it would be.
I feel that most of the praise really
belongs to the students —to everyone
who was at the bonfire or the game;
to everyone who wore a fight hat on
Wednesday or a grubby sweatshirt
on Grub Day. This was their week,
in many ways a crucial one, and
tremendous success

said he was generally'
pleased with the participation in all
the functions and activities. He felt
that the biggest activities— those
which did the most to really arouse
a sense of school spirit —were the
Motorcade Monday night and the
tremendous victory the girls scored
over a supposedly unbeatable team.
He also had some words of
praise for the students who gave up
several nights of sleep to help make
the signs, hats, posters, and othr
props which went into Spirit Week
S.C. Treasurer Tony Foley
discussed the costs involved. He
said that the total expenditure for
Spirit Week was about $130, not
including the Christmas Dance,
which cost nearly $1000. The $130
was spent on materials for the ban-
ners and signs, and to defrag half
the cost of the jerseys for the Pow
der Puff Team. The girls paid the
other half.
The receipts on the Dance to-
taled $550, which brought the loss
to just over. $40 0. The Student
Council loses money on every big
dance it throws, because of the
cost of renting ballrooms and bands
for these functions.
Student Government Faculty
Moderator, Mr. Lynn Purvis, sta-
ted that Spirit Week was "the most
successful and useful project I’ve
seen carried on at the University
since I’ve been here. ”
The appointment of six Class
Fund Chairmen was announced last
Friday by Mr. Fobert .1. Desmond,
assistant to President Donald A.

Cowan Announces
A program celebrating the
centenary of the Irish author
William Buttler Yeats was pre-
sented Thursday evening in the
Science Lecture Center. Mr. John
Barrett, instructor in English
at Midwestern, and himself an
Irishman, lectured on Yeats and
screened a color film entitled,
"Yeat’s Country."
The lecture dealt with Ye-
at's life and interests as refle
ted in the author’s poems. Par-
ticular reference was made to
Yeat’s tragic love affair, his
dream of a national Irish cul-
ture, and his later political
involvements.
Mr. Barrett, who came to
the U.S. only this year, receiv-
ed his B.A. in 1960 and his M.A.
in 1961 from the University of
Dublin, Ireland.
