Long-time friends
to soy good-bye
features
By Bonnie Moran
Staff Writer
"Make new friends but keep
the old.
One is silver the other gold."
Graduation means saying
"Good-bye" to old friends and
saying "Hello" to new ones yet
to be made.
So after 16 years of friend-
ship two Howard Payne
graduating seniors must say
their "good-byes."
The seniors Vicki Crumpton
and Mede Nix lived four blocks
apart and "have always been
friends."
They met in 1964 at first grade
orientation. "We stood in line
together" one recalls.
They went through
elementary junior high and
high school together before
coming to Howard Payne.
In elementary school Mede
remembers spilling glue on
Vicki's dress and Vicki
remembers walking to each
other's house to play and
having to call their mothers
when they got there.
In junior high they won first
and second place In the school
Spelling Bee and Mede won in
competition with another school
after spelling 400 words.
Their interests were diver-
sified in high school - Vicki
was in the band and Mede was
newspaper editor. But they
were active in several honor
societies together and both
graduated in the top five per-
cent of their calss at Grand
Prairie High School.
They came to Howard Payne
together but for different
reasons. "Vicki decided to come
to HP long before I did and I
chose HP after I decided not to
go to Texas A&M. I came to HP
because it was Baptist had a
football team and a teaching
field in journalism" Mede
explains.
HP students active in
precinct meetings
Five HP students were
named as delegates or alter-
nated for Precinct 4 to the
Brown County Democratic Con-
vention according to Mrs.
George S. Day precinct chair-
person. Precinct 4 is a represen-
tational voting area which in-
cludes the HP main campus and
Sid Richardson Hall.
Melissa Roberts junior from
Ft. Worth and I-aura McKinney
junior from San Angelo have
been named ad delegates for
presidential candidate Jimmy
Carter to the county's con-
vention. Carla Jurena senior from
Yoakum; Sherry Overman
sophomore from Andrews; and
For two and a half years they
were roommates. Then they got
a suite because "it was
available and I have to type so
much" Mede said.
Achievement seems to be the
theme of their early school
records and their record at HP
is no different. They each
received four awards in the
honors assembly this year.
Vicki a religious education
major received the Institute of
Christianity Award of
Excellence the Maria Leonard
Book Award and awards from
Alpha Lambda Delta and the
Dollie Robnett Club.
Mede a journalism major
received the Outstanding
Student in Physical Education
award the Journalism
Scholarship award the Alpha
Lambda Delta award and was
named "Intramural Athlete of
the Year."
Neither senior is certain
about the details of her future
but both list teaching at HP
among their dreams.
Leaving Howard Payne will
be hard for the girls because
they will miss their friends.
Mede said "I'd rather not"
and Vicki said she would like to
stay four more years.
They also share the same
opinion about the future of HP.
"There are still more hard
times ahead but it will en-
dure" Mede said.
"Howard Payne will always
have a quality that will make it
special to me good friends
and a concerned caring
faculty" Vicki added.
They will have to say good-
bye after commencement
tomorrow but their friendship
won't die. "We'll still keep in
touch no matter how far away
we are" Mede said.
And their friendship will be
gold.
Dawn Faccilonga junior from
Dallas were selected as alter-
nate Carter delegates.
McKinney was also elected as
precinct secretary.
Brown County's Democratic
Convention will be held
tomorrow at 2 p.m. in the
Brownwood High School
Auditorium. At that time state
convention delegates and
alternates will be named and
any party business for the
county is to be taken care of.

Sponsor says
IOC Improvement needed
"More concern by individual
organization to function as a
unit with more concern and par-
ticipation in campus ac-
tivities" is the way Ramon
Garcia assistant to the vice
president for student affairs
summed up the need to improve
the Interorganizational Council
(IOC) which he sponsors.
But just what is the IOC?
According to Article 8 Sec-
tion 1 of the Student Association
Constitution there shall be"A
Council comprise of the
president or a representative of
all authorized campus
organizations to be known as
the Interorganizational Council
which shall be authorized to
plan and execute those

specifically designated by this
constitution."
At present there are 28
orgainzations authorized to
send someone to IOC. Ken
Mills this years IOC chairman
and SA vice president
estimated there was an average
attendance of 20-25 people at
each meeting. One source
within the IOC however ex-
plained that 10-15 was more
accurate because it was
possible for a person to be the
designated representative of
more than one club.

year planned a Leadership Lab
Homecoming activities and
Western Days.
"I thought that Western Days
went over pretty well this
semester. I would have like to
have seen more function but
time and lack of interest were
key factors here" said Mills.
"Time and lack of interest"
crept up in several con-
verstations but no specifics
could be recorded. Everyone
seemed willing to wait to see

ter he took office this week.
