Student Efforts Prompt
$3 3000 Business Aid Gift
With less than $3000 to be
collected toward the 1968 Busi-
ness Aid goal of $100000 for the
operating funds of the three Abi-
lene Colleges a donation of
$33000 was received due to ef-
forts of the "Collegiate Division."
The fund total stood at $97077
or just $841 short of the highest
amount ever raised in a Business
AID campaign before the single
donation which will be divided
equally between Hardin-Sim-mons
Abilene Christian College
and McMurry was received.
The donor an Abilenian who
wished to remain anonymous
THE MYSTERY STONE Dr. Llovd D. Huff head of the
English Department displays the unidentified stone which
bears the name "Simmons College 1891."
POSES PUZZLE
Mystery Stone Found
In Nearby Vacant Lot
A clnnA Vtpnrinrr t.hr inRprintion.
"Simmons College 1891" has
been unearthed in a vacant lot
next to the Safeway Store on
Ambler Avenue.
The man who found the stone
while clearing land put the stone
on his front porch on Grape
Street.
Dr. Lloyd Huff noticed the
marker and stopped to inquire
about it. The finder gave the
stone to Hardin-Simmons. Since
that time Dr. Huff has checked
many sources but has not been
able to find any evidence of the
marker.
Dr. W. T. Walton and Dr.
Rupert N. Richardson cannot pin-
point where the stone came from.
John Wofford student assistant
in the office of public informa-
tion has been working on the
background of this information
but has not found the original
location of the stone.
The office of public information
inquire'd of Dr. Conrad R. Lam
an alumnus of the college about
the stone.
In his reply he states "'That
is an interesting relic which was
dug .up in a vacant lot near the
campus but I draw a blank with
regard to its origin or significance.
I agree that it looks like something
that was prepared for a stunt or
show rather than a serious kind
marker .... I don't ever remem-
ber see this when I first saw Sim-
mons College about 1916."
Information concerning the
stone is still being sought.
CONGRESS
said the gift was being made be-
cause of the attitude of the stu-
dent leaders from the three
colleges.
During remarks made by Stu-
dent Body presidents at the final
report meeting Charles Chambles
of H-SU said that the biggest
problem he has encountered is
"exciting our own students
showing them how that this
money gets back to their own
pockets in a way."
"Working on this project our-
selves has made us students even
more appreciative of the work
done for our schools by you busi-
nessmen" said Bill Cannon of
ACC.
Following the student com-
ments 1968 Business AID Chair-
man A. B. (Stormy) Shelton said
"If you didn't collect a penny
you would have already helped
us tremendously simply through
your suggestions. We're confi-
dent that with student involve-
ment from the beginning next
year's campaign will be bigger
and better than ever."
Mother and Secretary
Finds Fun in Problems
By BETTY LOU ROGERS
Brand Staff Writer
As secretary for Dean of Stu-
dents Mrs. Wanda Thweatt con-
siders assigning rooms as one of
her most interesting and frustrat-
ing jobs.
She explains that the office
tries to get roommates together
according to their interest and
habits. Mrs. Thweatt reads the
comments to find out what the
students have in common.
SHE REPORTS "Some com-
ments are ftlnny." They include
such statements as "I talk in my
sleep" and "I have no habits."
Mrs. Thweatt has six children.
Cheryl the oldest is married. The
others include Pat age 18
George age 16 Debra age 14
David age 8 and Candy age 7.
Bill Thweatt her husband teaches
sixth grade at Jones Elementary.
"USUALLY PEOPLE are sur-
prised at the size of our family."
She explains "There are a lot of
problems but there is a lot of fun
too."
Mrs. Thweatt graduated from
Midland High School. She later
received an associate degree in
religious education from South-
western Baptist Theological Semi-
nary in Fort Worth.
"HEADING PTA and people
art my hobbit" ht claim. "I
rally do enjoy working here be
cause I love people. If I didn't
I wouldn't stay."
"This job is a real experience
for me. The greatest part is
sharing problems and joys with
the students" states Mrs. Thweat.
"THESE PROBLEMS are taken
in confidence. I find it often
necessary to take them to the
Lord but not to any other per-
son" she explains.
With her experience as a
mother and secretary she finds
this to be true: "I am consistently
aware that people will fail you
but the Lord has all the answers."

such as basketball games at ACC
and McMurry.
Ruth Williamson freshman
Congress member aslced why a
6-cent stamp is necessary to send
an on-campus letter.

Federal aid. Miss Williamson
was asked to check into the
matter.
