Town hall pieetings are dead in the United States for all
practical purposes.
Hardfn-Simmons University students seem willing to let
this great vestige of democracy remain dead despite the Stu-
dent Senate's attempt to revive it on the H-STJ campus.
The effort to attract students to the meetings ..of their
student governmental body has proved unsuccessful thus far.
Three or 'four students have been attending recent meet-
ings. None showed up for the last one.
The only representatives outside the Senate at the Mon-
day evening session were the reporter and a representative
from Hendricks Nursing School.
Through the Senate go most of the major events of the
campus for the Senate has some connection with nearly
every happening. .Plans procedures policies and publicity
are left to the Senate.
We depend on the Senate for communication with the
administration.
Each campus club and organization should want a say
in all areas of campus life. The club fails when it does not
have representative at Senate meetings. Maybe tthis would
turn into a minor form of lobbying but where would the
United States Senate be without its-lobbyists?
Elected representatives can only know the will of the
electorate when the electorate take enough interest to ex-
) press their ideas and opinions. The Student body cannot
'justifiably complain about nothing .happening around here
tigftjfew' students running the place when they do not use
'ftieir opportunity to be counted. Gripes should be expressed
openly " '

The meeting room for the
hold one-tenth the gallery yet empty chairs surround the
'Senators at each meeting. If each club was represented
'm'ostofthe chairs Would be 'filled.

kM;Beypndr the t southern border of the Hardm-Simmons
campus " stands ' a beautiful building housing what many
ISU boyg seeni to believe are some of West Texas' finest
prettiest young ladies; yet these young ladies have not been
getting much attention frpm the campus as a whole in past
years.
The Brand takes the stand as the first to plead guilty on
this account. We have been greatly negligent in this area
not even delivering cppies of the Brand to the dormitory
ipr the first three issues. We can only ask for forgiveness
.and declare our intentions of doing better.
The young ladies at Hendricks School of Nursing are to
be commended for the interest they are taking this year in
campus life'. The nurses are the only organization or group
-with a regular representative to the Student Senate meetings.
They have also displayed much determination and initiative
in sponsoring several new ideas and projects.
Nurses we -are glad you are with us. We hope to give
you more recognition in the future. Thank you for the spirit
interest and beauty you add to our campus.

dating one of the nurses ... at present anyway.

Here we are again with" the
current news column of the week.
A' lot has been going on arid
everybody is what you might
call pooped! "Pooped" is a condi-
tion winch makes a' person feel
as if he '(or she as the case may
be) could stay in bed all day
have lunch sent up on- a tray and
then rise just in time to'get to'the
snack bar a nice cold . . . Coke!
As for the "real" news it
seems that H-SU has a real cel-
ebrity on campus. 'Our editor's
first name is very close to that
of Clark "Kent." So the next
time you see "Superman" Butler
ask to see his red and blue suit.
He'll be glad to oblige.
It has been accepted that we
as Southern Baptists acknow-
ledge immersion as our form of
baptism but the past few days
there have been a good many
"sprinklings." And while we are
In the religious train of thought
it might be mentioned that
POKIN ALONG has been going
to chapel every day getting there
on time and thoroughly enjoying
it. Those of you who think relig-
ion is for the birds should sit up
and listen for a while. We've tried
everything else and we still don't
have peace so maybe 'we should
try putting our actions where our
words usually are. By the way

The New York Titans-Houston
Oiler football game will be tele-
vised this Sunday and one might
get a glimpse of Hardin-Simmons'
pride Harold "Hayseed" Stevens.
The former Cowboy passing quar-
terback was recently purchased
by the Titans from Louisville.
Hayseed was the nation's num-
ber one passer in the season of
1960. He is nbw playing under
Hardin-Simmons only Ail-American
Clyde (Bulldog) Turner
coach of the Titans.

Something to Hold to
Most interesting is he whom I
classify as the most wonderful
person I have ever met. Despite
all the people I have had the
great privilege of meeting he
stands out for several good rea-
sons. One good reason is that in
my opinion he went farther than
any other person ever bef ore born
to man.
Also the above average person
had such a compassionate and
friendly atmosphere surrounding
him that he just naturally gained
a devoted following. He has such
a magnanimous personality that
he will- continue to "reign in the
hearts of many as the perfect ex-
ample to men.
This man had a very lowly
birth. In fact he was born in a
stable in Bethlehem almost two
thousand years ago. His name is
Jesus the most beautiful name I
know. I met this wonderful per-
son on a horrible hill named Cal-
vary. I found him in bitter agony
hanging on a cross.
A crown of thorns - about his
that reminds me that I'm suppos-
ed to be writing for space. . .
Now before we begin with this
precious tidbit of news those who.
might be interested should be
warned that all they have to do
is send their name in to POKIN'
ALONG and arrangements will be
made. Now to get on to the news.
It . . . has . . . been . . . rumored
. . . that the girls in Lange Hall
would like to see the formation of
a "Lonely Hearts" Club. Of course
the object of the club would be
to make the lonely ones "unlone-
ly." The only thing we ask is
that you don't knock Mary
Frances Hall down in your rush
and particularly don't ruin the
Student Center if you choose to
go to the post office to send your
name.
Well now that the seed has
been planted guess that I'd bet-
ter be POKIN' ALONG.
See you next week?

the World Series. The Giants
should win it four games to three.
Someone has said that the only
way that one can get people to
listen to a speaker is for that
speaker to make his lecture ser-
mon talk or whatever it may be
very humorous. Dr. Kenneth Cha-
fin used this method very effec-
tively last spring during the
Davis lectures. However Ed Crow
has disputed this saying also
very effectively this week in the
chapel services.
Through Tuesday's message
the former H-SU football star had
not used any humorous story or
joke but yet seemed to hold the
attention of the student body as
well as any speaker that has ad-
dressed that group.
What this school needs is a
holiday preferably this Monday.
Wouldn't it be nice to dump our
26 losses in ACC's lap?
H r r
brow made his crimson blood to
flow over all his countenance
agonizing tormenting drawing
flies. Through his hands and feet
had been driven iron spikes by
some Roman soldiers standing
there. Through his side was a
horrid gash which the peaceful
man had received from a Roman
sword.
Oh! The pain I felt him bear
as he once cried loudly "My God
My God why hast thou forsak-
en me?" I knew not how I knew
not why this man came to pay
such a penalty in spite of all the
people there about the foot of
that grotesque form who were
spitting on him and mocking this
precious person.
I knew that on that day at Cal-
vary I fell in love with Jesus.
This man who had died so painful
a death for curing the sick
spreading god tidings and preach-
spreading good tidings and
preaching good will became my
all in all for He gave His all for
me because He loved me.
Now this wonderful Saviour
has made his castle within the
corridors of my heart. Each day
he opens another door of my life
and seeks admission. Each day I
find myself longing to let Him
have His way." Some say letting
Him reign in one's heart is diffi-
cult but. I find it not hard to
give in; for I love Him so.
Some say such a sacrificial de-
votion is something to brag about
but I think not for only through
the crimson flow do we find such
love and only through such love
do we truly devote ourselves as
we do.
Why don't you let Him in your
heart too? It is so much fun to
give in to the Master. It is so
joyful to have his fellowship to
guide you through the day and
talk with you as you pray. It is j
so much fun to be friends with
Jesus that one can scarcely know
what truly lies behind the crim- J
son flow. If you have not let Him
in won't you? All He advertises
is peace joy and eternal fellow-
ship. Jesus will be the most won-
derful person you will ever meet
if you will only journey down
Calvary as I did that gloriousJf
day.
