JI, A. "Sandy" Saoford, athletic
director and head football coach
at Tarleton State College, today
resigned his position effective Feb.
l; to* join a Texas sporting- goods
firm, college officials announced.
No successor has been named.
Sanford, who has been at Tar-
leton since 1951, said he "reached
the decision after long and care-
ful consideration. My association
with Tarleton has been an ex-
tremely happy one and the sup-
port and cooperation I received
from the college and the people of
Stephenville could not have been
better," he said. "It is with a great
deal of regret that I leave the
college staff an{] coaching, but op-
portunities, such as the one I have
accepted, often come but onee."
Tarleton President E. J. Howell
accepted Sanford's resignation
"with regret," He said, "Tarleton
.has been fortunate to have a man
of Sanford's character and ability
on its staff. The many friends, he
lias made for the college and the
fine job he has done in his sev-
eral capacities makes his depar-
ture difficult to accept."
Sanford joined the Tarleton
staff following a successful high,
school coaching career in Arkan-

Wafnwrights, Band Will
Perform at Mardi Gras
The Tarleton Military Depart-
ment and the Band Director re->
vealed this week that TSC's Wain-
■wright Rifles and band will parti-
cipate in the Mardi Gras, Feb. 28
to March 2.
Capt. Joseph Burkett, sponsor of
the Wainwright Rifles disclosed
that the Army will provide tran-
sportation for the two cadet units
and that arrangements have been
made for quarters at Camp Leroy
Johnson in New Orleans.
The ROTC units are scheduled
to march in two parades, the big-
gest held during the famous Mardi
Gras celebration, the Krewe of
Proteus and the Krewe of Rex.
The Proteus parade is at night and
the Rex parade is in daytime.
The parades will be televised
nationally, Captain Burkett re-
ported, and he said that Tarleton's
cadet units will be seen by mil-
lions across the nation.
Coed sponsor of the ROTC
companies will attend the cele-
bration at their own expense,
Burkett said.
Freshman Class President . C. J.
Smith last week directed a storm
of criticism at his fellow class of-
ficers "for not doing their elected
iobs,"
The outbreak of criticism by
Smith came originally during a
class meeting attended by only
15 of the 575,-registered freshman
students-Jan. 12. The subordinate
officers incurred the president's
Wrath when he. discovered .that the
class vice-president did not an-
swer roll call. Smith also expressed
bitterness at the lack of enthusi-
asm of the freshman class for
class functions.
The meeting, which had been
heralded by Smith as one of the
most important of the year, was
called for the purpose of announc-
ing and discussing several proj-
ects for the coming semester,
"I was ashamed," Smith stated,
"that such a small group turned
out in front of these people," He
was speaking of Sophomore Class
President James Rivers, Sopho-
more Class Reporter Roddy Gor-
man, and Billy Bob Sanford, Stu-
dent Council president, who had
attended the meeting to aid Smith
in explaining several of the proj-
ects on the agenda. The projects
which were to be' discussed were
of a broader scope, including both
classes and the Student Council
as well, and therefore made at-
tendance at the meeting even more
mandotory, Smith contended.
After a further check revealed
that three of the six class repre-
sentatives to the Student Council
had not attended the meeting,
Smith adjourned, after vowing
that the officers will perform their
jobs in the future, and that he
himself would "do better,"
