HPC Receives Endowment
Mil
' „ss
:
A NEW TRUST FUND was announced by Dr. Guy D. Newman, left, president of HPC. The
trust was set up by Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Thomas, right, of Hattiesburg, Miss.
Spring Semester
Honor Points In
Beginning with the spring
semester, students enrolled
full - time may acquire
honor points for regular at-
tendance at chapel, which is
considered to be a part of the
' educationl process at Howard
Payne.
Announcement of the new po-
licy was made in a pre-holiday
chapel meeting by Dr. Doyle
McCoy, academic dean, and has
been explained by Mrs. Grace
Elsey, dean of students, in an
interview with a Yellow Jacket
reporter.
Required chapel services are
held on Mondays, Wednesdays
and Fridays, Mrs. Elsey point-
ed out, so that "students may
come to understand something
of the experience of worship,"
provided by "instructions and
inspirations received through
the programs on a variety of
themes."
Those who sincerely parti-
cipate, Dean Elsey added, "may
come to appreciate the wide-
ranging concern of the Chris-
tian faith in intellectual, social,
political and artistic ideas and
Issues involved in everyday ex-
periences.
The new regulation granting
hqnor points for regular chapel
attendance provides that a
student may gain one honor
point each semester when he or
she has no more than three ab-
sences. This point will be add-
ed to the student's total honor
points at the end of the semes-
ter.
As in the past, students will
lose honor points for excessive
chapel absenses. Beginning
with the fourth unexcused! ab-
sence in a semester, one honor
point is deducted for each ab-
sence beyond the third during
the semeBter. Thus, four ab-
sences mean the loss of one
honor point, five absences mean
Brings
Chapel
the loss of two points, and six
result in the loss of three ho-
nor points, Mrs. Elsey explain-
ed.
These deductions of honor
points are made from the stu-
dent's total honor points at the
end of the semester.
Chapel includes class meet-
ings, Mrs. Elsey reminded stu-
dents. "Chapel and class meet-
ings are classified as the same,
and attendance at class meet-
ings is also required."
A gift of more than $100,000
for endowment to Howard
Payne College was announced
by Dr. Guy D. Newman, presi-
dent, last week.
Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Thomas of
Hattiesburg, Miss., have estab-
lished a trust fund with the
Mississippi Baptist Foundation
which will benefit the college.
The college will not benefit'
from the trust during the life-
time of the donors, but at their
deaths income from the trust
will be used for scholarships
for "worthy students" at HPC.
A member of the Thomas
family and a committee of the
college administration will de-
termine recipients of the scho-
larships, under the terms of
the gift.

News analyst Paul Harvey
will serve as one of the princi-
pal speakers during the twelfth
annual Democracy - In - Action
Week at Howard Payne College.
The special week will be ob-
served April 2-7:
The DIA program, which was
inspired by Howard Payne's
president, Dr. Guy D. Newman,
works through a faculty com-
mittee and a voluntary group of
citizens.
The program is centered
around the history, the heritage
and the present of America. Al-
so studied are the totalitarian
systems that threaten the
American system.
Harvey, who will be speaking
at HPC for the secondi time,
was voted top commentator of
the year in 1962 and commenta-
tor and man-of-the-year in 1963
in a poll taken by New York's
Radio-Television Daily of
more than 600 critics across the
country,
He has received seven hon-
orary doctoral degrees, four
gold medals from the Freedoms
Foundation at Valley Forge,
and nnumerous veterans and
American Legion citations, in-
cluding the 1965 Fourth Estate
Award and the first annual Col-
onial American Award (1966).
His home state, Oklahoma,
elected him to its Hall of Fame
in 1965.
Other speakers for DIA are
expected to be named in the
near future.
Mrs. Dorothy Jean Schroeder,
associate professor of- sociolo-
gy at HPC, is again serving as
chairman of the faculty com-
mittee for DIA.
DIA has brought to the HPC
campus outstanding and au-
thoritative speakers from
around the world in the areas
of government, education, eco-
nomics, history, law enforce-
ment, international relations,
the Christian religion and mor-
ality and communications*
Newman said, "It is this kind
of thinking and planning on the
part of dedicated people like
the Thomases that gves ua
great hope and inspiration with
which to meet the great chall-
enge in education at Howard
Payne College."
"We have every reason to be-
lieve others are considering li*
ving trusts for the benefit of
the college," Dr. Newman add-
ed.
The trust set up for the col-
lege is not the first gift by the
couple to the college. "The have
been generous in their support
on occassions before this,"
President Newman said.

ADDITIONAL $5,000
An additional contribu-
tion of $5,000 to Howard Payne
College was announced last
week by Dr. Guy D. Newman,
president.
The gift is from an anony-
mous donor, and is to be used
to help pay for renovation now
in prograss on the Fleming
Center of Religion.
"This gift will enable us to
do some additional work on the
Bible building, which is urgent-
ly needed," Dr. Newman said.
Refurbishing now going on at
the Fleming Center includes a
new glass front on the building,
repairs to the roof, and exten-
sive redecoration of the inter-
ior of the building.
DEAN DOES
HOMEWORK'
Students at HPC are plagued
by the prospect of finals, term
themes, and various aspects of
the new, upcoming semester,
and are very conscious of
homework.
Dr. Doyle McCoy, academic
dean, has been "invited" to "do
his homework," too. Ijn the
travels across the campus, a
Yellow Jacket reporter stopped
by the Dean's office and dis-
covered that he had homework
to do in preparation for a semi-
nar which will be heldi on the
Hardin-Simmons University
campus Monday, January 9, aft
10 a.m. in the Student Union
Building.
A letter sent to Dean McCoy
by the general chairman advis-
ed the dean and other, seminar
members to study certain sec-
tions of material and be pre-
pared to ask questions concern-
ing the material to be discuss-
ed.
In preparation for writing
this story, the reporter saw the
10-page brief outlining the
principals and "Standards of
the College Delegate Assembly
of the Southern Association of
Colleges and Schools." The
brief contained detailed infor-
mation on the philosophy of
accreditation, by-laws and gov-
erning boards, budget prepar-
ation and control, and several
other topics pertaining to the
scheduled seminar.
Our thoughts go with you.
Dean McCoy, as you travel to
your accreditation "class" and
we know that you have done
your homework ,
