jolt a JlitiU QoofHtoUUm
Now let's see . . . we should have a pretty good cheer-
ing what with the Pep Squad the Rhythm Band and the
Mange-rs giving it their best.
However it seems that lately these three service or-
ganizations have failed to realize that their duty is to
direct the student body in support of the team. Instead
they have spent this time addressing each other by the
names above during the games.
Our homecoming was one of the most successful in his-
tory because everyone more or less filled his responsibility
as part of something more important than individuals or
organizations ... he became a part of a great institution
for a day.
Whether it was just the let down or the rush of an
out-of-town game is uncertain but things have been
becoming worse rather than better.
The cheer leaders were often forced to take a back
seat or follow along with some eager boosters who in-
sisted on launching out the yells ahead of time. There
is a difference in school spirit and just plain yelling. In
the one a person puts his heart in first while in the other
the cheering is done merely for personal satisfaction.
We are not saying that the organizations themselves
are at fault . . . certainly they are the backbone of the
team but some of their members have thoughtlessly
cheered themselves rather than the team.
If we would all leave our personal grudges at the gate
and follow the leaders who have been elected for this
one purpose ... if we boost our team not degrade the
opponents then we can be worth something in the final
score and what's more we will actually enjoy ourselves
more.

The H-SU football team has been setting some high
standards lately and not all of them have.been on the
football field.
Take the Odessa trip for the H-SU-New Mexico game
for instance. Sure the boys piled up a swell victory
and it looked good. But the story goes deeper than that.
The boys also came through with a fine personal record
during their stay.
The gridsters were quartered at the Scharbauer Hotel
in Midland on the week end of the game. Officials of
the hotel said that the boys were the finest appearing
most wholesome acting and less boisterous football squad
that had ever stayed there.
Lee Doyle a waitress in the Scharbauer Hotel Coffee
Shop said that when some silverware was dropped on
the floor by a waitress the boys rushed to pick it up.
She said that this was the first time that had happened
there in five years.
Now these are compliments that should not be taken
lightly. The football boys are giving Hardin-Simmons
a good name by their actions. They're showing people
that high moral character goes hand in hand with good
sportsmanship. They are spreading good will and their
alma mater should be proud of them for it.
Compliments have also been received on the gridsters
from the campus. Mary Collins of beanery fame states
that the football boys are unusually well behaved this
year. Seems as if there is a lot less cutting up and
roustabouting on their part while eating.
Yes sirree! It seems that manners have come to the
gridiron. Hardin-Simmons has regular gentlemen Cow-
boys and we're proud of them. Lawhome.
Question of the week: What do you think of the new
announcement system f
Bill Austin "I'd like it if they'd let me make an
"educational" announcement once in a while!"
Kay Hallmark "I like it! It leaves enough time for
the meetings that are announced."
Frances Everett "You have the announcements pn
paper and in that way you don't forget when and where
your club meetings will take place. I think it's swell !"
Jerry Myers "Personally I looked forward to the
singing commercials!"
Virginia Bandel "I like it! Here's hoping that the
students turn in their announcements on time!"
Joe Wallis "It saves a lot of time and confusion."

Cotton Pickin' News
By BILL SPENCER
Cotton the King of the crops
to many it has meant wealth and
power to many it has meant lit-
tle and to some it has meant but
a wish. But to the senior class of
dear ole' H-SU it apparently
means nothing.
Last week when the members
of the class were asked if they
would pick cotton to help raise
funds for the class about seventy-
five volunteered to do so. This
week it was asked how many se-
niors would be able to go out and
pick cotton. Six meek little hands
were raised to signify consent.
Where were the other sixty-
nine? Now the whole idea of this was
to work to raise money for the
Senior class gift to the school.
However it seems the most of
them would rather save their
backs and give three or four dol-
lars out of their pockets.
About twenty-five years ago
there were less than a hundred in
the senior class but they each do-
nated some twenty dollars and
pledged ten more. Last year there
were approximately 250 in the
Senior class and it nearly broke
them to have to give four dollars.
Now wo are not making any
remarks about the Seniors of this
year but it is a pity that a smull
senior class of yesteryear could
out do anything of the classy se-
niors of today. Oh well such is
life

A group of students and friends
of Lelia Prieto met at the Abilene
Municipal Airport Monday morn-
ing to say last farewells as she
began her long flight back to Bo-
gata Columbia.
It had been two and a half
years since Lelia had left her
people to accompany some Metho-
dist missionaries to the United
States. But for Lelia these few
months had been packed enough
for a lifetime.
When she came to this country
Lelia knew only two words of
English "yes" and "O K." After
six months however she was
able to understand and speak the
language fairly well.
Before coming to the U. S. Le-
lia renounced Ctholicism when
she was converted but her people
are still of the Catholic faith.
Lelia says she had always
dreamed of going to school in the
United States but thought it im-
possible. Then after she had
spoken to a group of WMU wom-
en at the University Church one
afternoon one of the ladies asked
her if she would be interested
in going to H-SU if she were to
have a scholarship. Lelia did not
think her parents would approve
but was so excited that she said
she would go. So it was arranged.
During this time Lelia had sur-
rendered as a missionary to her
people in Bogata. She had her
visa extended in order that she
might complete her schooling be-
fore returning to her home. Lelia
had been baptized into the North
Park Baptist church.
But suddenly everything chang-
ed. In September of last year Le-
lia was found to have an advanced
case of tuberculosis. Her schooling
had to be stopped and she was
moved to a sanitorium where she
had to spend the next nine
months.
The doctors demanded that Le-
lia return home in order to com-

Rusty untuned vocal chords
plus some jerk with a Harmonica
will try to present an interpreta-

of laughter from some corny joke.
This is what makes the riding ort

you start to realize the real mean-

Arriving in the so-call sub-

disease but she still has her heart
set on graduating from Hardin-
Simmons someday.
Lelia is going home to tell her
friends about Texas and especial-
ly of H-SU. She was amazed to
learn that students in American
schools do not consider it a dis-
grace to work on the campus in
order to pay for their tuition. In
Columbia where labor can be
bought for five dollars a week
this is an unheard of thing.
Of course the friendly and
Christian atmosphere here im-
pressed Lelia most of all. She
states that her friends here help-
ed her dvercome her homesick-
ness during those first few months
away.
' So Lelia Inez Prieto will carry
the cowboy spirit with her into
the heart of South America with
a hope that manan'a she will come
back to this "Land of hope."

turn grab your closet out of the
suitcase rush down the bus to
the waiting elevator. Puff puff
you're off but cheer up you have
a year to get back on again.
JLimUi Metal Qaueuufe
Duo to circumstances beyond our control we have been unable
io print all the news which has been submitted to the Brand during
the past weeks. We wish lo apologize to those reporters who have
faithfully fulfilled their duties only io find that their articles were
either omitted or laie. This is not only a discouragement to our
writers but a detriment to the paper as it lends to break down
the completo news coverage which we havo worked lo build up.
In order lo take care of some of lhe overflow of news '.this Issue
has been printed in eight point solid type which means lhe lines
are spaced closer together and thus permits more stories to be printed.
The reason for these crowded conditions is simple ... an increase
in enrollment during the past two years and a subsequent growth
of the journalism department while the size of our paper has re-
mained lhe same as it was fifteen years ago.
The staff is most concerned about this problem and Is anxious
lo either increase lhe size of the paper or lo put il out more often.
The associate and sports editors have offered lo drop olher organi-
zations some of which bring scholarships in order lo give their
services . . . unpaid for . . . to the necessary growth of lhe Brand.
But the final decisions must rest with lhe administration and
the printers who are already overcrowded.
This is lhe goal for which the past editors of lhe Brand have
worked. Through their efforts lhe Journalism department has finally
reached lhe point of expansion. Ii is our responsibility to decide
whether the papery will take this challengo or whether 11 will merely
tread water while others launch ahead of us.
An increase of any kind will fall on lhe shoulders of you the
students as well as lhe staff. If you will bear with us and lend
your support in this offori we can all benefit from lhe results.
THE EDITOR.
