EDITORIALLIJ SPEAKINQ"A National Problem
In order to offset the overset the editor's comments will
be extremely brief this week.
A big problem in the United States today which seems
to have stemmed recently from the country's educational in-
stitute is given a good coverage in this week's Newsweek
magazine. A problem which never has become a problem to
Hardin-Simmons; and which hopefully never will. This is
the problem of prejudice of racial violence.
The article calls this a "A Painful American Dilemma."
No matter which side one takes it is the "bad" side. Caught
on the horns of the dilemma America seems to choose a
down-the-fence alternative. She simply screams and raises
the rabble dust with no particular goal in mind other than
making a great noise.
It is interesting to note the percentages on a poll taken
both in the south and in other areas concerning equal rights.
This is not a vote on the rights of a human being; rather it
is a poll of the strength of this nation. Where is a better
place to find that weakest length of our state-chain than
where the strife is; where any type of prejudice is. Would
that these screaming so energetically on both sides as well as
down the middle could get so worked up over the possibility
that the nation is losing prestige in the world during a time
when prestige is an integral part of world-wide strength.

It's Been Said Before
By DAVID MURRAH
Columnist
Hardin-Simmons' loss to Wichi-
ta University last week was in a
sense a victory for the Cowboys
showed many people the team
that they had been looking for
all season. We were expected to
lose and we did but not by the
margin expeted; it was sup-
posed to be worse. One person
said that the team played better
than it has ever played this sea-
son; if the Cowboys play as well
together in the next six games
we may win them all.
And it is possible. New Mexico
State 40-8 winners over Texas
Western last week stands in the
way as the most opposing oppo-
nent. But back to .Wichita the
Wheatshockers had previously
beaten highly-rated Arizona State
who in turn stopped high-scoring
West Texas State last week.
Therefore one might say that
we are as good as West Texas
State and any one would say
that West Texas is better than
New Mexico State concluding
then that we are better than New
Mexico State.
Even if we do lose to New

Kyoto was the capital of Japan
for nearly 11 centuries starting in
794. It relinquished this honor to
the relatively young city of Edo
which developed into Tokyo. Ev-

Kyoto to be enthroned.

Mexico State the chances remain
strong of finishing 5-5 for the
season. McMurry is beatable this
year as Southwest Texas and a
few other teams have already
proved; Trinity also is beatable
although the Tigers are out for
blood after the contest last year.
Last season our Cowboys broke
a 27-game losing streak here in
Abilene at the expense of Trinity.
The Tigers did not see eye-to-eye
on a few things toward the end of
the game and a free-for-all
erupted with six seconds left to
play. The Tigers withdrew from
the field to forfeit the game the
Cowboys leading 14-6.
North Texas State is another
formidable foe but also beatable.
Arlington State could be tough
also but if we beat North Texas
the momentum of the victory
will carry the Pokes through the
Arlington State game.
Then comes Howard Payne.
Here the Cowboys renew an
ancient rivalry that has not taken
place since 1946. Let's hoDe that
our victory over the Yellow jackets
is the sixth of the season and not
the second.
The University of Texas Long-
horns currently number one in
the nation has their work cut
out for them now as they attempt
to swing through the rest of the
Southwest Conference without
being knocked off their feet. If
any other team is going to do it
it will be done this week as the
Longhorns travel to Little Rock
to play the Razorbacks of Arkan-
sas. The Hogs smarting from
Baylor's slap last week will be
out for revenge and may upset
the Steers.
But if they don't leave it to
Baylor SMU Rice TCU or
A & M. Somebody will do the
job.
