. Slimes Receive
PUSH NOW MMENT1HA1BLE
Belated Hoods
They're two weoks late but they're
still slimo caps nnd even somo of tho
professors havo remarked on how
much more like homo tho campus
looks dotted with tho yellow and
green jiggers.
Tho upper classmen particulaily
tho sophomores nro happy about
their appearance because now they
can tell exactly whom ' to introduce
themselves to After nil there is
something peculiarly disconcerting
about walking up to a ntrang'c look-
ing fnco shaking Us hand and in-
troducing yourself only to find thnt
it is the person who sat next to you
In n class last year and which you
would havo rememboied if you hadn't
needed that period for sleep. Thanks
to tho slime caps there need bo no
fear.
Tho most important thing nbout tho
slime enp is tho smnllcst part of it;
tho button. Without tho button many
of tho rites of Freshman Year would
automatically bo eliminated. For in-
stance tho formality of "getting tho
button" would perforce ccaso to ex
ist. And then of course thcro is tho
matter of putting the HSU on it.
Tho changing of. tho name of tho
school added nn unexpected obstnelo
in the matter of the button. Under
the old form a mere S was plncod on
the button with due litcs and rituals
and the whole matter was very sim
ple but with the now name difficul-
ties arose. After much discussion it
was decided that tho best solution
would be to make a largo "S" on tho
button with a smaller "II" and "U"
in tho curves of tho S. The attending
ceicmonlcs havo not been altered.
At noon Tuesday there had been
fonie 160 of tho nps sold and thus
150 freshmen became eligible for for-
mal welcome to Hardin-Simmons uni-
versity by tho upper classmen. Pow-
er end endurance to tho freshnfen;
they'll need it.
