gree from Rutgers University. For

speaking to varied audiences.
Bowman's Speech
Speaking on "Building a Bet-
ter America" Bowman stated
that he was not on concerned
about what happens in Washing-
ton big cities and metropolitan
areas but that he was concerned
about the events in the local
communities which to him arc
the "tap roots of the American
way of life."
Bowman pointed out that the
American student is the ambassa-
dor of the "American way of
life." He added that men in his-
tory have been recorded as
failures because of the reckless
way they handled the truth.
Five things in America about

Dr. and Mrs. Ford Selected To Attend
National Counseling Clinic in Chicago
Dr. and Mrs. Hoyt Ford of the
H-SU psychology department re-
cently returned from a two-week
workshop in non-directive coun-
seling at the University of Chi-
cago. Attended by about 40 appli-
cants accepted from various parts
of the United States this work-
MRS. HOYT FORD
... in workshop also
shop was directed by Dr. Carl
R. Rogers the originator of non-
directive counseling and three of
his assistants at. the University
of Chicago.
The two weeks were filled with
reading discussion recordings of
counseling interviews films and
the observation of play thereapy.
This was the first workshop of
that particular kind ever con-
ducted. "Since Mrs. Ford and I both do
non-directive counseling at Hardin-Simmons"
stated Dr. Ford
"we decided that it would be well
for us to learn more about it
from America's foremost author-
ity." They and about 38 others
were selected from applications
sent in from all parts of the
United States.
Making this trip also serves as
their vacation. The Fords took
time in Chicago to visit museums
and to go sight-seeing.
"Most of those attending the
workshop were college teachers"
Professor I contend that any
one who cannot make himself un-
derstood is an idiot. Do I make
myself clear?
Freshman: No sir.

pression freedom of worship
freedom of research freedom of
education and freedom of enter-
prise. Knock In Front
"In Russia you can talk your
head off" quipped Bowman.
"And that's exactly what will
happen." Regarding someone of
a different denominational pre-
ference he said "There's only
one place to do any knocking
that's on the front door."
"Industry spends over a billion
dollars yearly in research" said
Bowman "in the world which
has come from Adam to atom."
On the national level Bow-
man indicated that the U. S.
spends fifteen billion dollars
more per day than is taken in.
"Don't tell anyone he's sound as
a dollar because a dollar is now
worth only 53 cents."
We Replace Alias
He spoke of the day when
Atlas carried the world on his
shoulders. "Now" said he "that
is reserved for the American tax
payer. The world revolves on its
taxes."
"The NAM is interested in
American education" he went on.
"There are now five education
directors in the organization's
fourteen regional offices.
"One trouble with America is
that there are too many loose
thinkers and not enough think-
ers loose." In conclusion Bow-
man said "The last four letters
of the word 'American' indicate
something of the spiirt of the
American way of life. They spell
'I can."'

modified curriculum is expected
to increase in efficiency next
year.
The university operates the unit
in co-operation with the Depart-
ment of the Army. A branch-
general military curriculum is
presented which means that the
ROTC cadet will be given gen-
eral Army training without ref-
erence to any one arm or tech-
nical branch of service.
The basic course is required of
all freshmen and sophomore men
under 21 years of age physically
qualified who have not had the
equivalent military training in
active service.
The student receives one hour
credit each semester for the twa
basic courses meeting classes two
hours each week and drilling the
same period of time. Upon suc-
cessful completion of the basic
course cadets chosen by the Mili-
tary Evaluation Board enter into
a contract with the government.
Students who do sufficiently
good work in the advanced
courses are given a commission
in the armed forces upon the re-
ception of their degree from the
university. Deferment from Se-
lective Service is granted those
who qualify within the quotas
given to the Department of the
Army.
When school starts the enroll-
ment in the training program is
expected to approximate 350 ca-
dets in comparison to the 289 that
signed for the military course last
fall. With the addition of the
summer ROTC cadets and trans-
fers from other institutions en-
rollment in the advanced courses
should exceed 50 students.
Facilities have been expanded
to meet the need which will be
imposed by the increased en-
rollment. During the summer the
supply room and the arms and
cleaning room have been expand-
ed to twice their original size.
Arrangements have been made
for additional classroom space.
Whereas last year only two class-
rooms were used the four class-
rooms that have been acquired
by the unit will be utilized to the
fullest.
Lt. Col. Howard P. Rice pro-
fessor of military science and tac-
tics at H-SU said "All critical
shortages of military equipment
which existed last year have been
received and we now have all
the items that will be necessary
to carry on a full four year pro-
gram. The present facilities will
be capable of handling any in-
crease in enrollment for several
years to come."
The military instructional staff
is almost completed. With the
exception of acquiring a non-commissioned
staff member the three
instructors who were alerted for
foreign duty after serving on last
year's staff have been replaced.
both new and old the proper
spiritual balance for the year im-
mediately before us.
"The Hardin-Simmons BSU
reached First Magnitude (the
standard of excellence for Bap-
tist Student Unions) last year. It
is our hope our prayer our ex-
pectation" said Kliever "that we
shall set higher goals fdr the
1953-54 school year. Our best is
not good enough."
To Organize BSU Choir
If sufficient interest is shown
in the propect a Hardin-Simmons
BSU choir will be organized at
the retreat it was indicated.
The idea was developed by several
H-SU'ers who were chosen to be
members of the Texas BSU choir
which toured to Ridgecrest N.
C. and visited six other states.
Expenses for the encampment
will include only meals and a
registration fee. Meals bought
individually will cost 65c. A fee
of 50c will assessed for registra-
tion. Charge for all eight meals
and registration will be $5.50.
Students will be expected to fur-
nish sheets blankets or quilts
pillow towel wash cloth etc.
Students who arrive for the
retreat and need a storage space
for their bags clothing and
other equipment which they will
use during the year may store
their property in the Student
Center according to Virgil M.
Bradley manager of the Snack
Bar-Student Center.
Dormitories will not be open-
ed until Sunday afternoon Sept.
13. The group will return from
Lueders early Sunday morning
in time for Sunday School.
