by the Might Farcin' Art Play-
ers, An outside dinner at
Hodge Hall this afternoon is
to precede a square dance to
be held between Hodge and
Jennings Halls. Also planned,
according to Mark Farmer,
Western Days chairman, are
several organization sponsored
booths which will solicit stu-
dent participation.
Impromptu gun fights and
"duels," traditionally a big*
part of' Howard Payne West-c

safe as possible, Farmer urged.
The tradition is that eacl*

wear a. least two articles. The ,
sheriff and the sheriffs depu-J
ties will rule on the items, stu-*

WELCOME BACK from Easter vapation. No, noth-
ing much has changed in the week we were away. Un-
less you stayed in Brownwood over the spring break, we
really don't know how much life the college gives the;
city. At least, it does for a college student. How it af-
fects the rest of the people, I don't know.
For one thing, the Pizza Hut generally closed down
early each night. Kenneth Wise's was less crowded. The
people from Weakley-Watson had to roam the streets
in search of a doughnut and cup of coffee on their breaks
when Richardson Hall's cafeteria, closed. Parking around
all dorms and on the campus was ^ dt all- Some-
Rumor is that the choir didn't , go on its tour atr all, but
drove straight to New Orleans for the entire week. Ed'
■Daniel in his "Mr. Clean" all white Easter outfit doesn't
fool anybody when he lands in his helicopter in their
backyard. Everybody seems to think that I should be
graduating this year; I agree, it sure seems that I should
be, but the calendar says I've been here only three years.
A fire at the old Southside Laundry at the Austin Ave-
nue underpass totally destroyed the building: the build-
ing iii front of it, a package liquor retail store, and the
building beside it,, the Coors distributing warehouse, were
untouched. What does that tell anybody?
SIPID'S BELIEVE IT OR ELSE—Ed Daniel, the high
priest of improbability, claims he knows of A tractor-
trailer truck driver who motors through the Brownwood
traffic circle with perfect manners.
IN THE SUB—Seen recently in -this crossroads of the
campus was a young woman, no doubt anxious to show
off her wardrobe she acquired while back home for
Easter in the big dity, wearing hot pants. Okay for casual
dress, I guess, but for accepting the Academy Awards? 1
PONDERING PERCY—Now where could I have
been when they passed, that law? I mean the one requir-
ing the guy behind you during the romantic part of the
movie to smack his popcorn?'Oh, it all comes back to
me now. It must have been while I was away attending
the annual meeting of the Society Opposed to Teachers
Assigning Term Papers All Due During the Same Week.
