Is it being trite to say "Thank you" or "excuse me"
as often as we do? No I do not think so. Neither do I
think it is trite to say "Welcome Exes!" about this time
every year. And of course we say welcome to the other
campus visitors not only this week-end but any and
every time you are on the Forty Acres. But when you
get right down to it Homecoming is primarily for the
alumni is it not? And as such the Brand staff joins
the 1600 plus members of the student body faculty and
staff in saying with all sincerity "Welcome Back."
Notice any changes since you have been away? One
of the most prominent changes that have gone into effect
with the beginning of this current semester is that of the
five-day-week. This automatically eliminates Saturday
classes with the exception of a few graduate classes.
Another change is the new chapel-auditorium build-
ing which has made rapid progress within the past few
weeks. University officials have set their hopes for a
spring opening of the new addition to the campus.
Perhaps the most significant change in the life of
Hardin-Simmons University took place only a few days
ago. On Wednesday October 5 W. A. Stephenson as-
sistant dean of arts and sciences died in Hendrick Me-
morial Hospital at the age of 60. With the passing of
Dean Stephenson the university those persons now as-
sociated with it those who have been at one time or the
other associated with it and in a sense those who will be
associated with it tomorrow lost not only an outstanding
teacher and leader but a Christian layman and friend.
This year's homecoming activities have been care-
fully planned so as to be campus-centered. Miss Alice
Berkshire dean of women has labored long and hard in
getting all the minute details and there were many or-
ganized and everything in shape for the annual activities.
Generally speaking the student body has been good
in cooperating with Dean Berkshire and the student chair-
men in decorating and planning the events. Special at-
tentiqn has been devoted to the Queen's election in keep-
ing it from the entire student body and threby letting it
be a surprise even to the Queen herself.
I believe a word is certainly in order here congratu-
lating Miss Edens on her election and forthcoming reign
as Queen. Congratulations Jean and may your reign be
a pleasant one filled with many memories not soon to be
forgotten.
Yes Hardin-Simmons has changed in faculty in
students in material things perhaps even in spirit. For
.how can a university such as ours graduate the volumne
jand quality of students without each of them leaving their
.distinctive mark in the life of ther alma mata? Surely we
would not want to be counted among the alumni or the
present student body of such an institution that did not
change. And it is the opinion of this writer that it has
been the overall effect of these changes some of which
have been good some perhaps not so good that has made
Hardin-Simmons the University it is today a distinctive
Baptist university advancing at an exceedingly rapid
pace.

Dear Editor:
I went to the ACC-Howard
Payne ball game last Saturday.
And may I report that the spirit
of the Howard Payne students is
something to be proud of. A
sizable number of students drove
from Brownwood and stood out
in the rain and vigorously sup-
ported their team though they
lost a close game.
Sometimes I wonder why we
don't have this same kind of
school spirit. But then it would
be hard to follow the football
team to Alabama Arizona and
Tennessee. Though the playing
of teams representing schools with
6000 and 12000 students may
have given prestige to our foot-
ball team I can't say that it has
added much to our school spirit.
In my opinion football games
are for the student body and fans
as well as the team. And the
football team plays a very vital
part in the school spirit.
Why can't we play teams of
our own class and in our own
locality so that we the student
body can take part in the athletic
activities of our school. I'm for
more school spirit at Hardin-
Simmons! .
