Rams Win Two From Sul Ross State
Over Stormy Homecoming Weekend
Helen Wakefield Crowned
Homecoming Sweetheart
BY BOB McQL'ITTY
It was homecoming Friday night and the Rams obliged with a 76-
64 win over Sul Ross. Miss Helen Wakefield was crowned homecoming
queen by Ram captain Ray Jefferson at halftime as one -of the high
points of the evening. Saturday night the Rams again beat the Lobos,
this time by a score of 85-62.
Possibly because of the extreme amount of dust in" the air Friday,
the playing of both teams was a little ragged. With the players not
putting on too good a show the officials decided to give a featured ex-
hibition. They called so many foi^ls; there for a while the game became J
a walkathon between baskets.
This so irritated the Sul Ross coach, M. W. Hendrick, that be became ;
a little unmannerly in his speech. Official Luther Scarborough is
rumored to have said, "I heard that!" and he slapped a technical foul on I
Hedrick. Minutes later the Sul ——

Following the halftime festivi-
ties the Rams forged ahead of the,
Lobos after being down 37-39 at
intermission. They scored 25 points
to Sul Ross's nine and held a 63-
48 lead at the end of the third
period.
It was the greatly improved play
of freshman Don Bice that helped
j contribute to the Ram splurge.

The English Department of TWC
has proposed a new column for The
Rambler, according to the report
of Miss Sara Duncan, secretary of
the Division of Languages and Lit-
erature. Beginning in this week's
issue, it is to feature student writ-
ing on literary topics, chiefly com-
mentaries on current reading done
by students in the English courses.
The first commentary, appearing
in this issue, is by Miss Jo Anne
Stansbury, a freshman from Fort
Worth. She discusses an essay
read in English 311 a few weeks
ago.
Miss Duncan reports that the
idea for the column -came from Dr.
H. Howard Hughes, chairman of
the division, who believes that the
student learns to appreciate good
literature by talking about it in
such a way as to analyze and eval-
uate it. He stresses the idea in Us
classes that, "literary criticism"
not necessarily "finding fault" with
writers and their writings. It is
the function of the literary critic,
on the other hand, to explain and
that his reader may be led to an
interpret the best of literature so
adequate appreciation of his liter-
ary heritage.
Furthermore, Dr. Hughes be-
lieves that discussing what one
reads enables the reader to develop
his own best ideas and judgement
and to improve his own manner of
expression.
