Bids are now under consideration for paving Cedar
street. However this doesn't mean that .the street will
be definitely paved. There is a possibility that plans will
be changed concerning the routing of traffic down that
block' of Cedar. However the building and grounds com-
mittee is investigating the project to see how much it will
cost to pave the street Dr. Bailey said. "
As soon as the information is available concerning
this project and the action to be taken it will be announc-
ed in the Brand.

College or high school?
When someone asks you where you are from the
answer you give is your own hometown.
When you are at home on vacation you usually don't
hesitate to say that you are from Hardin-Simmons Uni-
versity. Most of us want our friends to know that we
have let loose the apron strings grown up some and
made our way .to a university. Now we are a part of
Hardin-SirnmorTs University. Everything that we say
or do.
The wearing of high school letters which many col-
lege students seem to insist to wear however does not
indicate that they've made any break whatsoever from
high school.
Yes high school was a "ball" but college can be too
if you'll 'put away childish things' pay your allegiance
to the school where you are now from YOUR UNIVER-
SITY. A letter is indeed something to be proud of. It is a
mark of achievement but an achievement in high school.
Some students who can't earn a letter in college want
to exhibit what they've done in high school by wearing
the letter at college. If that accomplishment were of an
unusually high worth they'd be in the process of earning
a university letter.
When a college student wears his high school letter
he is implying to the public that he wants to be known as
being from Such-n'-Such High School rather than from
Hardin-Simmons University.
Are you a collegian but a high schooler at heart?
Where are you from high school or Hardin-Simmons
University?
Be Caniidetate
The week before finals is upon us. If students will
begin studying now for examinations the grades received
in the end will be our reward. However sometimes it's
almost impossible to study after the library closes. Per-
haps this sound ridiculous. But people who live in the
dormitories often forget that even though they don't want
to study their neighbor might.
It's easy to talk and keep others from working and
not realize that you're disturbing people. However this
is inconsiderate. '
.Think of your friends who want to make the best of
the opportunities at college by studying when you yell
to your friend down the hall.
Let him study; you should be!

By JONNI HILL
As I sit here in my wheel
chair iboth my broken legs rest-
ing on the waste paper basket
and my head throbbing from the
24-inch gash I take typewriter in
hand to pound out another crude
column.
I was walking back from Rose
Field House when this tall dark
and handsome whistled at me I
kept walking but nonchallantly
turned my head to stare at him
THIS was when it happened
while I had my head turned I
stepped into this HUGE gopher
hole!
Maybe you have seen it it's
located just west of South Hall
and justx north of the Sub! It
seems that I wasn't the only one
to step into this gopher hole
there was also three track boys
in there.
I was unconsciouence for three
days and when I did regain con-
science it took me four days to
climb back up to this world.
And then there was the Bug
what tried to journey down Cedar
Street it fell into a chug hole
and it took 25Mj rescue workers
to get it out.
Let's get off this unpleasant
subject and go to one that is un-
pleasant! As horrible and heart-
less as it may seem finals are
about to pounce upon us once
again. Next week marks the be-
ginning of "dead week" contrary
to the name this is the most "fun"
week of the year outside of the
fact that the girls have to be in
their cells by 9:00 or they turn
into pumpkins!
The only books opened during
dead week are "Mad" "Panic"
and "1000 Jokes By Evan Reiff";
and the only thoughts about finals
are "Why must I have an 8:00
test who can pass at that hour
of the morning?" According to
Mr. Webster dead means un-
unprofitable' thus dead-week
would mean an unprofitable week
So why have it when we could
stay out until 10:30 and see a
very educational movie.
Wei since I ran out of anything
to say before I started this column
since it is 2 hours past time
for this to be at press I'll bring
this little episode to a close. I
know this is a lousy column but
then this week hasn't been any-
thing to speak of either. '
A CO-ED'S PRAYER
Now I sat me down to study
I pray the Lord I won't go nutty.
If I should forget to learn this
junk
I pray the Lord that I won't
flunk.
If I should die don't bury me at
all
Just carry me to my room right
down the hall.
And pile my books upon my
desk
And tell the Prof I did my best.
m
With my failing grades flat
personality and frustrated life in
general I know I can never make
"Who's Who" but I'm a cinch if
anyone ever comes out with a
book called "What's That?"

COUNCIL CORNER
By DONIVEE RODEN
Hey everybody! All is not lost
just becatise finals are looming
in the not-too-distant future. Be
of good cheer because many ex-
citing things are on the slate of
events for the beginning of next
semester.
Among the highlights of Febru-
ary will be the Student Council-
Faculty basketball game. The date
of the game is Feb. 16. Mark this
event as a "must" on your calen-
dar. On Feb. 19 the all-school car-
nival will take place in Rose Field
House. The various organizations
will sponsor booths and some
lucky man will be elected Car-
nival King.
On Saturady Feb. 6 represen-
tatives from various Baptist
schools will convene on the Hardin-Simmons
campus for the Bap-
tist Schools Conference. The
meeting will take place in Cald-
well Fine Arts Building.
The idea has been proposed to
the Student Council that the
snack bar remain open for a pe-
riod following each basketball
game. The Council expressed its
approval of this plan.
In regard to the record player
in the SUB the Council wishes
to notify campus organizations
that they must come before the
Council with a request before re-
moving the record player from
the SUB for use at social events.
Bob Gilbreth who recently at-
tended the Student Union Confer-
ence presented an idea which he
gained at the conference that
would provide for Hardin-Simmons
to join with other schools
of our region in securing noted
speakers who would speak at two

Application blanks for students
interested in summer employment

Hicks placement director an-
nounced. Students who need sum-
mer employment may come by
the Placement Office and fill out

have already arranged employ-
ment for the summer we would
suggest that they go ahead with

or three schools rather than just
one. The schools could pool their
resources and thus get speakers
who would not consider coming
to just one school.
The Council regrets to an-
nounce the resignation of Janice
Junell junior representative who
is transferring to Texas Tech next
semester. Janice has done a fine
job as editor of the Range Guide
and in other capacities and we
regret to see her leave us.
Meal Tickets Worth
$10 Redemption
At Business Office
Students who have more than
one meal ticket lett over at the
end of the semester will re-
ceive $10 per ticket said E. W.
Bailey controller. Dr. Bailey
said this amount may be credited
to the student's account as he
may so desire.
Students who have only one
ticket left will receive no refund
because the original cost of the
15 tickets was $135 Bailey an-
nounced. Therefore if a student uses 12
tickets he will be charged $120
receiving $15 back. Dr. Bailey
stated that the color of the meal
tickets for the next semester
would be a different color.
The price of meats in the cafe-
teria have gone up five cents
(5c). Dr. Bailey explained this
as resulting from the increase in
the wholesale price of meat
thereby forcing the cafeteria to
increase their prices. However
he concluded the prices of the
vegetables have not gone up.
