This isn't a rendition in print of the song Eddie Wisher
has made so popular in the last few months but instead a
question of why we have a Religious Focus "Week.
Why do we coast along day after day each year and
come the March winds (or ice) . . . we take 6ne week out
for Focus Week? What is Christianity coming to you ask?
Didn't wejoin the church of our choice in September?
Didn't the girl down the hall surrender to foreign mis-
sions in October? Didn't you win the little boy at the mis-
sion to Christ in November? In December didn't we give
a gift in. the name of Christ for'His birthday? Didn't your
roommate decide on his life's vocation during the emphasis
week in Januarjr? Didn't we pray for Focus Week in
February ?
Why do we have a Focus Week? To bring the lost on
the campus to a saving knowledge of Christ to call" each
Christian on the campus to a closer walk with the Lord to
show students that Christ can be magnified in different
vocations and to' give students an opportunity to consider
the high calling of God the ministry full time Christian
service or the mission field.
If these things do not warrant a Focus Week . . . Tell
Me Why 1 Doyle.

The Student Council decided Monday at the regular
council meeting not to hold an election for a replacement
of the senior representative who graduated in January
because :
(1.) The Student Council constitution does not in so
many words demand that a vacancy on the counci). be filled.
It only sets up the machinery for such replacement without
stating that the machinery must be used.
(2.) Senior representative replacement would be the
second replacement on the council necesitating the recogni- ft fl I m Af 'f U -tf "fl a.
tion of two persons for each position. Therefore another Jf f4sQjQt Q't4?X' ii 44VVlO''b
Student Council pin would have to be purchased from the
already deflated Student Council fund.
(3.) The Student Council having held two special
elections for council replacements does not want to go
through the process of holding another election.

Man 9& Not Alone
Centuries have slipped by and the dinosaurs are extinct.
It seems that the giant monsters of the past were the best
equipped of all to survive; that is in the case of the sur-
vival" of the fittest. But they have disappeared.
Man lives on.
- The only explanation is "Man does not stand alone."
God has an eternal stake in man's destiny and wants to
guide and guard him whether he walks through the Stone
Age the Iron Age the Machine Age or the Atomic Age.
The world is turning mighty fast and seldom do men
have time to to stop and think. It is for that purpose that
we've ehosensonc week to "focus" our attention upon
Jesus. Our theme is a personal question. "What will you do
with Jesus?" The personal question demands a personal
answer. As God speaks to our hearts during Focus Week a
decision will be made. We will follow our wills or God's
will Take a position in God's kingdom and let your pro-
mise be "I will give Thee first place in my life so help
me God." . . . Bill Cook general chairman Religious Focus
Week.

The H-SU library in cooperation with the Student
Council is making a' valiant attempt to get the student
body on speaking terms with the materials of the library.
The feeling prevails that the library is foreign country.
We're glad something is being done.

You can't judge a book by its
cover but you can judge a man
by what he writes. If this is true
some twelve hundred students
will hear Dr. Vance Havner with
a glowing interest next wek for
his books reveal a man of rever-
ent wit an a quiet sense of kin-
ship with the things God has
made. Dr. Havner realizes the
spiritual value of commonplace
things.
Mrs. Lake Pylant and William
Hall Preston two other team
members are authors also and
live the testimonies that they
write. Mrs. Pylant is the head of
the department of dramatics and
Christian recreation at Wayland
College. Preston is associate
southwide BSU secretary with of-
fices in Nashville.
'The secret of Christian Joy"
which is in its ninth printing is
a volume of several sermons pre-
pared and given by Dr. Havner.
Peace of mind seems to be a thing
of the heart but Dr. Havner
brings out the attainment of
such "when we place our hope
and trust in God." This is aptly-
done in his book entitled "Jesus
Only."
Old-Time Power
In "By The Still Waters" Dr.
Havner points out that men are
"preaching a gospel that is God's
dynamite while living fire-
cracker lives" and says "the
need is not a better pastorate nor
more learning nor more publicity
nor a more engaging personality
but a double portion of the old-
time power." This was the first
book that Dr. Havner wrote. It
came after a few newspaper ex-
periences "and a weekly column
in the Observer in Charlotte N.
C. Since then Dr. Havner has
written over a dozen books. Oth-
er titles are "Pleasant Paths
Road To Revival" and "That I
Might Know Him."
Mrs. Pylant whose interests
center in Christian recreation
and dramatics is the author of
"Playtime" a compilation of so-
cials which have been published
in the Baptist Training Union
magazine. Mrs. Pylant writes
for the magazine at the present
time. She is an authority on
"Good Times Together."
My Covenant
William Hall Preston a Chris-
tian layman his written the
fifth book of the My Covenant
Series a part of the Master's Min-
ority Movement. Preston states'
within the preface of the book
that "the local church is the
greatest place in which we may
serve." In his chapter on Meas-
uring Loyalties he speaks of
properly related loyalties to self
to others to Christ but first of
all to Christ.
Other subjects in the series
take up the matter of salvation
worldliness Bible study prayer
Sabbath observance Christian
ownership and witnessing. Each
of these has a different author.
"God Has Something Great
For You" is a pamphlet giving
a view of Christian professions.
In this pamphlet Preston takes
up the assistant pastor the song
leader the young people's work-
er and others.
These and other books by the
authors mentioned can be found
lin the BSU office in GI Hall.
The reader of these books will
find them 'Pleasant Paths' to
meditate within.

Even after the snow and Arctic
weather at the first of this week
spring seems to have finally
made 'it to the forty acres. At
least we've had spring fever all
week which would seem like
a good sign.
Typical of the Texas weather
was the sight of deep red petun-
ias blooming bravely through a
chilly dusting of snow Monday.
The plants are fostered by Mr.
Westmoreland of Sandefer Me-
morial Building who set out the
petunias about three weeks or
a month ago. It looked like for
awhile that the early risers would
be safe but then came Monday
and the flowers were covered to
their ears in the snow that piled
into their Sandefer Memorial
boxes. At last report full extent
of damage could not be accer-
tained. Arriving back in Abilene
with ihe rain Sunday were
the six H-SU delegates to
the TISA meeting at Lub-
bock Saturday. The six trav-
eling in Lloyd- Wright's car
reported running into rain'
dust snow and sleet accom-
panied by various types of
winds during the trip from
the South Plains.
Also on the return trip Pat
Beasley got the other representa-
tives involved in a bubble blow-
ing contest. Feature of the com-
petition which starred such wiz-
ards with the gum as Lewis Ste-
phens Ed Tapscott Joan Randel
Wright and Pat was the gigantic
bubble which Wright blew and
popped all over his car's steering
wheel.
The A Cappela Choir came
back home Tuesday night much
later than they planned from the
concert trip of the week-end to
Fort Worth and Dallas. One of
the chartered busses carrying
choir members robes and music
had a mechanical failure in Put-
nam and was delayed for several
hours. The first bus of the choir
arrived on the campus then there
followed a long wait for the sec-
ond as most of the luggage was
stowed in the delayed bus.. Fin-
ally several of the early arriving
choir members went back along
the route and found the missing
bus and luggage.
After al lchoir mmebers
and luggage were happily
united the group finally got
about the business of getting
back into the routine of col-
lege life after the week-end
in Texas' two big cities.
Those old cowhands the Var-
sity Quartet carried on the finest
tradition of the stage by giving
the chapel program the morning
after all the lost buses and lug-
gage. The four made three quick
changes from chaps and open
throated shirts to dark sport
coats with four-in-hand ties to
red bow ties. And after such a
tour they vow it was all they
could do to stand that long much
less sing for 20 minutes. But
Bates Kay Denton and Rogers
did both.
By the way the oddment com-
bining "My Mither Was Irish"
and "Where O Where" that the
quartet finished up with deserves
a permanent niche among such
musical immortals as "The Whist-
ling Farmer Boy" of the Cowboy
Band and "Set Down Servant"
of the A Cappela.
It shouldn't really be known
that Bill Cook is taking geo-
logy. Cook general chairman
of Religious Focus Week
activities wrote in an editor-
ial for the Brand that dino-
saurs have become obsolete
on the earth. It took a long
while to figure out just
what was odd about that
statement. Then finally it
was discovered that dinosaurs
become extinct not obsolete.
And the extinct dinosaurs are
a rather important pari of
the geology course Cook is
taking!
There is another color scheme
running riot in GI Hall. After
the cloudy blue of the newly re-
docerated BSU Chapel the new
Corral office has blossomed out
in buttercup yellow brought on
