Tribute
Sometimes those of us at
Tarletori get so caught up in the
hustle and bustle 9f today that
we forget those * who came
before us. It's good to look to the
future, but that future was built
on the past.
A man who contributed a
great deal to the life of TSU died
last week. Dr. C. M. "Dutch"
Flory, 81, chairman of the
health and physical education
department at Tarleton from
1946 until his retirement in 1969,
died Sunday at Stephenville
Nursing Home.
While he was at TSU, Flory
developed the physical educa-
tion and intramural program
that many participate in today
to a high degree of excellence.
He was also responsible for the
development of a curriculum to
prepare physical education
teachers for Texas schools when
Tarleton became a four-year
college.
For his accomplishments,
Flory was named professor
emeritus in 1969.
Flory received his B.A.
degree from Texas A«M
University and his master's and
doctor of education degrees
from the University of Texas at
Austin. He attended the Univer-
sity of Washington with special
work in educational administra-
tion. He taught and coached at
schools in Tenaha, Honod and
Harlingen and served inthe U.S.
Navy from 1942 to 1945.
While in the Navy, he
established a physical fitness
program for officer trainees at
the University of Wisconsin and
later supervised one at the
University of Michigan.
Flory was a member of the
First United Methodist Church,
the Masonic Lodge and Rotary
International. He was also a
member of the Texas Associa-
tion for Health, Physical Educa-
tion and Recreation, the Na-
tional College Physical Educa-
tion Association for Men, the
American Association for
Health, Physical Education and
Recreation, the National In-
tramural Association and Phi
Delta Kappa.
Survivors include his wife,
Maurine; two daughters; a
sister and five grandchildren,
I didn't know Dr. Flory per-
sonally nor do I have any great
interest in the physical educa-
tion program at Tarleton.
However, I do have a great deal
of respect for those who work
hard for something they believe.
Flory seems to have been one of
them. His accomplishments
have helped make TSU the ex-
cellent university it is today.

Harsh realities
. This is an editorial regarding
something dear to many of us-
sororities. Supposedly here at
TSU we have some of the finest
to choose from, led by some of
the finest and brightest young
students around. Of this I have
no doubt.
As an employee of the school
newspaper I have had the
chance to meet and talk with
virtually all of the leaders of
these organizations and they all
represent their clubs well. What
does raise a question in my
mind is the quality and sinceri-
ty of some of their members.
At a recent school social func-
tion I noticed a few of these
"reputably well-rounded young
ladies" giving some very
unlady-like looks and stares to
undeserving and unsuspecting
people.
Don't these girls know it is
rude to poinl ? How other people
choose to dress and who they
choose to associate with is their
own business and these people
have no place or right to look
down their nose at them because
they think otherwise-they have
some harsh realities to learn if
they don't know yet that the
world doesn't revolve around
them.
The reason I bring in the fact
that they are in sororities is
because this is how these par-
ticular girls are acquainted with
one another and also because I
hope that the sorority can help
them straighten out their
attitudes.
I think that sororities are
wonderful, a sisterhood is a good
relationship to be a part of.
However, some of you members
have a few things to learn about
family ties.
Hopefully these organizations
will instill within these girls
some sense of respect and objec^
tivity to ease the narrow-
mindedness that fills the judge-
ment they pass out on others.
All in all, I hope they teach
maturity. These girls are still
playing high school games. I
wish someone would wake them
up and welcome them into the
real world with the realization
that we are all created equal.
Understand that this is not
directed to the sororities
themselves, but rather to a
handful of girls that belong to
them-you know who you are.

movie review
Heaven Help Us
Heaven help this movie and
all the poor people that paid four
dollars to go see it.
Heaven Help Us has so many
sub-plots that the plot is just
lost. The only real action in the
movie is with the five boys in the
private Catholic school and their
encounters into trouble time and
time again.
The movie portrays the strict-
ness of a Catholic school and a
love story all in one. A new stu-
dent in the school, who is there
to become a priest, ends up fall-
ing in love with a girl who runs
a candy store.
He also ends up into trouble
from the day he gets there. The
movie always keeps you hoping
that something is fixing to hap-
pen and tie it all together, unfor-
tunately it never happens. Some
parts are funny but you are
mostly waiting for something to
happen to explain it all.
The boys are all different and
their personalities clash. At first
they are enemies but towards
the end they start sticking
together for survival.
I would not suggest this movie
if you are wanting to impress a
blind date because it might be
your last one.
