Daze of Payne the initia-
tion of freshmen and transfer
students will begin September
12 with the gauntlet behind
L.J. Mims Auditorium at 10:00
p.m. and will end after the first
home football game on
September 21.
During the 10-day initia-
tion freshmen and transfers
who choose to participate will
not be able to walk on the grass
and will have to wear beanies
on their heads.
Daze of Payne partici-
pants will also get an upper-
:lassman as a big brother or big
lister as a way to get acquainted
with the upperclassman.
Gina Hochreiter junior
Daze of Payne big sister feels
that the initiation allows partici-
pants to bond with others.
"Daze of Payne is a won-
derful way to meet people both
the freshmen and upperclass-
men and it is fun" said
retreat-like" atmosphere" so
that everyone can get involved
together.
There are times planned
for Bible study worship and
several other sessions all cen-
tered around the theme for the
weekend "Spiritually
Authentic."
" We live in a culture of
spirituality at Howard Payne"
Dennis said. "This weekend is
for those willing to be authentic
enough to take the mask off."
There are planned activi-
ties such as volleyball swim-
ming at the lake and a banquet
on Saturday night where the
pastor of Cowboy Church of
Brownwood will be speaking.
Students who have attend-
ed in the past agree that Impact
Weekend is a great way to meet
new Christians and to grow spir-
itually. "The greatest part about
going to Impact Weekend last
year" said Travis Jenkins a
sophomore at HPU "was stay-
ing up all night with the other
guys in my group talking about
Hochreiter.
Randi King the director
of Daze of Payne agrees with
Hochreiter.
"New students should
participate in order to be a part
of a tradition that has been
going on for a longtime said
King. They can also get to
know a lot of freshmen and
upperclassmen."
King encourages students
to participate but warns the lit-
tle brothers and sisters what to
wear on Thursday night.
"Do not wear anything
you want to keep" said King.
The cost of Daze of Payne
is five dollars which pays for
the beanie. Students can buy
their beanies at the gauntlet.
All students wanting to
participate need to attend either
the Monday Sept. 9 or
Tuesday Sept. 10 meetings.
Little brothers and sisters
will meet at 8:00 p.m. and big
brothers and sisters will meet at
9:00 p.m.
how God was working and get-
ting to see things from the points
of view of others."
Most students who attend
Impact Weekend are freshman
but the gathering is intended for
all new students.
"I went to Impact
Weekend my sophomore year as
a transfer student" Lizzy
Walker junior said. "It was a
time where we where able to be
completely real and share the
Lord as our common denomina-
tor." Although different than
the years before Dennis promis-
es that this year will be just as
powerful "Allowing new stu-
dents to meet other new stu-
dents and giving them a spiritu-
al refreshing."
Spots are still open for
anyone interested in going how
ever time is limited.
Dennis asks that anyone
wanting to sign up lor the retreat
should come by the BSM office
on the second floor of the Mabee
University Center.
The cost is S20.00.

What do you think about
dorm room checks?
BH
I jH-r- 7L
" think that room checks are a good idea like
once a semester but once a week is a little
too much."
-Alaina Ingle
" don't think there should be room checks
because we are all grown-ups and it's inva-
sion of privacy."
-Greg Grear
7 think that room checks are not a big deal
in me and my roommate's case because we
don't have anything to hide."
-Heidi Summers
Where's the privacy? And who paid for the
room again?"
-Lori Snell
" think the room checks are a very good
way of keeping students accountable to
obeying the rules and not dealing with any-
thing considered illegal on campus."
-Micah Meazell
