SECURITY IS: Something that may not be in such
abundance here as we once thought. Last' weekend's
shooting incident, coupled with several major thefts, and
the verbal molestation of several co-eds in recent weeks
by apparently arunken non-students, has brought the
campus—both students and administration—to a full
recognition of the problem.
Yet, high level administrators have assured us that
solutions to the problem are being sought. Executive Vice
President' A. C. Garvin and Dean of Students E. B. Myre
have made presentations to the Administrative Council,
calling for speedy action.
At present, the HPC "security" force consists of semi-
retired men whose primary duties involve locking the
various buildings on campus and "turning off the lights,"
according to Mr. Garvin. " ,
What the school needs, Mr, Garvin explained, "are
young, dynamic types" who will police the campus. "How-
ever, this would involve a considerable outlay of money
we just don't, have right now."
Dean Myre urged all students to be especially care-
ful until a permanent solution is reached. Insuring that
valuables are in safe, locked places; going in groups after
dark, even on campus; leaving rooms and cars locked
when away from them; and refusing to loan money or
valuable items are some suggestions made by the Dean
and echoed by The Yellow Jacket.
MI wish we could implement a permanent solution
right now," Dean Myre said, "but, regretfully, we just
don't have one yet."
Security is . . . knowing that someone is trying.
Barnes Strength
-Not Very
WE WERE INTRIGUED BY the results of the recent
political poll taken by the Young Texans for Ben Barnes
organization here. To say the least, Barnes strength at HPC
may not be what it was once though—especially for the
lieutenant governor's "home country."
Of 254 students participating, only 78 indicated a pref-
erence for Barnes.
The poll had its share of surprises, too. Republican
"has been" Paul Eggers came in a strong third in the six-
man race. And, relatively unknown State Rep. Frances
Farenthold of Corpus Christi picked up rtiore votes than
we had anticipated to come in ahead of State Senator Henry
Grover of Houston—a "front-running" Republican.
The most surprising element of the results was the
tical philosophy question. 133 students claimed to be
independents—177 students indicated a preference
for conservative Democratic candidates, leaving only 8
votes for an avowed liberal, and 70 not showing a pref-
erence.
Political 1972 has already shown itself to be a year of
contradictions. It is an intersting and intriguing year to
watch.

Happiness is: A nine-day Easter vacation coming at
the point where you were ready to quit anyway.

I SUPPOSE th£ grounds keepers 'around campus are sitting
contentedly back in their chairs, laughing at us for criticizing
our lack of foresight, as now the green grass is sprouting through
the fields of raw fertilizer, gradually diminishing the obnoxious
stinking'side effect. Maybe they feel the torture each spring
is worth the lush green grass—thick stuff that even grows over
popular student paths across the lawns—that we realize in late
spring and summer, but I don't know. I don't know too many
folks who would plop that fertilizer on their own lawns . .... and
leave it there.
Spring has arrived in Brownwood, so many indications say.
The grass is springing from under the fertilizer. Love is in the
airt It's getting noticeably warmer in the afternoons. Tornadoes
have been cited to the north of the area. KjBWD is running
baseball games again. And those strong winds are back. The.
winds one day this week were so strong that it caused one stu-
dent to remark that she'd imagine that it would even blow as-
sistant basketball coach Johnny Carter's hair. But don't fret
Johnny, I understand HPC will have Ed Daniel back next year
to kick around too.
WE SPECIFICALLY are running a different title this week
in honor of Good Friday. TGIF is an acronym for the phrase
"Thank goodness, it's Friday." HPC students and staff have
good reason to be grateful for this Friday especially: it's the
last day of school for 9 days since classes will not convene
again until Monday week. And it's the traditional end of the
long hard drag through winter at college.
But for those claiming Christianity, there's additional rea-
son for TGIF. This is the day we commemorate the death and
burial of the Saviour, Jesus Christ, and Sunday, the day of
His resurrection. Most theologians stress the victory of Easter
Sunday over the shame of Good Friday and rightfully so, as
it is the resurrection which gives Christians their belief and
hope. But to my mind, it must have been a 1,000 times more
difficult for the man Jesus Christ—who also as God had the
power of all Heaven at his disposal—to allow himself to die
bearing the sin of the wor^d than it was for Him to return to
life Sunday. Death had no hold On Him to begin with; return-
ing to life must have been easy compared to submitting to its
clutches in the first place.
Therefore, I rejoice in the victory of Sunday; but at the
same time I must appreciate the sacrifice on the third day pre-
ceding, and "Thank God it's Friday."

formal economy
problem solved!
'do-it-yourself1
By LIZ CARLETON
Spring fashions are always
a drain on the pocketbook; so
why not be economical when
planning for the Junior-Senior
banquet. If you can sew a
straight seam, there are a num-
ber of ideas and styles for
beautiful formal wear for
women.
While wispy, delicate ma-
terials such as chiffon may be
a bit difficult to manage if
you are not an expert seams-
tress, don't give up the idea-
of making your own lovely
dress. Dotted swiss, in any one
of a variety of colors, might,
be swn into a ruffled, slim-
fitting old fashioned dress.
This style is especially popular
now. Maybe you are fortunate?
enough to own an heirloom
cameo—the perfect accessory
for this look.
If you find that ruffles be-
long on someone else, prowl
farther into the local fabric
shop. Even the soft, clingy
knits printed with blossoms
are making their way into the
world of formal wear for
women. The material seems to
lend itself to an extremely
Simple pattern. Caution should
be exercised if you decide to
follow this route. Without im-
maculate grooming— special
polish to hair and skin—this
look may leave you feeling:
terribly underdressed for a-
formal banquet.
If you will take a few min-
utes to glance in the various,
shops around town, you will
find some beautiful ways to
accessorize your choice in
formals.
Look around for the right
material and perfect pattern
to fit your personality, arid
take advantage of the much-
welcomed Easter holidays to.
create your special dress for
the Junior-Senior banquet.
Students Plan
One-Ad Plays
By BRUCE ROSS
The theatre season at HPC
has been an exceptional one
this year. Starting with the
well-received musical "Finian's
Rainbow," through the most
recent production, "The Brick
and The Rose," the faculty of
HPC's Department of Oral
Communications have shown
their considerable ability to
direct and .present these pro-
ductions.
Now, it is the students' turn
to produce and direct plays.
This year, two students of the
directing class (Drama, 40),
each will present a one-act
play of his own selection.
James Webb, a freshman
drama major from Brown-
wood will present the first of
the collection, a play entitled
"Winners."
"Winriers" is the story of
two young people in love on
the last day of their lives.
The cast members include
David Curry, Karen Kingston,
and Bob Pitchford.
Don Stajggs, a secondary
education and drama major
from Kenedy, Texas, is direct-
ing the second play, "Losers."
This is a story of love and
courtship late in life and the
problems which arise. The cast
of "Lovers" includes Donna
Folsom, Karen Berrey, Phyllis
Wells and Bruce Ross.
