THE H-SU BRAND
Saturday September 22 1951
EDITORIALS....
With the beginning of classes and the hum-drum of
back-to-school activities just about over students on the
forty acres will be settling down to a more civil life includ-
ing for the most part attendance at classes and studying.
Some people will take advantage of the opportunity for
study and progress. Students are given two unexcused
absenses in each class which should be enough for any
person desiring a college education.
But some are not satisfied with the two they want
and usually take more. All of us once or twice run into a
boring class during our college careers but some way suffer
through them without excessive absenses.
With some instructors absenses don't matter just as
long as the student passes. However how many students
have you known who make higher than average grades and
ocntinually miss class? Not many we would say.
Why be satisfied with a "C" average when with just
a little extra effort you can make straight A's?
That extra effort put forth going to classes might do
the trick.

Peoentae Paitien.4.
Hardin-Simmons is holding its own. With the situation
as it is and with men being called into the selective ser-
vice H-SU still is up with other area colleges in enrollment
percentages.
Most of us realized that a decrease would be seen as
registration began but we thought it would be a consider-
able drop from the 1632 registered last fall.
At tlie end of last spring many were sceptic about the
number of young men the draft would get. And by the way
we're still holding on hoping more arc not called. But even
in the midst of all this the H-SU enrollment as far as per-
centage drop is concerned kept up with ACC McMurry
Texas Tech and Baylor.
Baylor and Tech thus far have experienced drops from
last spring enrollments. ACC and McMurry are down con-
siderably. And according to a "report given by Alton B.
Lee H-SU registrar if enrollment figures kept climbing
Friday and during this next week the forty acres would
experience about the same percentage drop in enrollment.
What does all this show? Even though draft laws are
threatening and prices for a higher education are climbing
West Texans still are looking to Hardin-Simmons for that
"extra something" one can't receive in a state school.
Perhaps we should stop and be grateful to H-SU after
all.
