Professcrs Run for Top Senate Positions . . .
Hidden Talents Revealed
. . . Compete in Olympics
"Whnt if" is a common
phrase around McMurry especi-
ally like 'What if I were a
genius ... or what if school
ended tomorrow.' Not alone in
our delusions of "what if" many
professors and administrators hide
true dreams behind that phrase.
"Whnt if" Dr. Lloyd Huff opened
a watcli factory or Mrs. Perma
Ilich finally became curator of
Playboy migazine "Whnt if"
Dr S B Thompson advocated a
Communist take-over while Rev-
erend Jim Pickens picked a fight
at Berkeley . . . "What if" Dr.
John Mead and Dr. Cleo Tarter
taught sandbox I and shoelace";
III nt Jack and Jill Day Nursery.
Certainly other professors' sec
ret hopes and desires include un-
known talents. For example
"what if" Mrs. Janinc Rosser
gave French lessons to Maurice
Chevalier or Donald Adlong ac-
cepted the honor of pledge squire.
Not to slight Mrs. Muriel Bur-
rcss however "what if" she ac-
cepted the post of underdirector
of the Bishop's Argumentation
Course in Vatican City although
she's already a Baptist teaching at
n Methodist college and attending
A.CC. "What if" Michael Swan-
son moved to Hollywood to re-
place Dr. Zorba in Ben Casey.
To illustrate an active group of
prof's that really go "what if"
Dr. George Coats accepted the
head cheerleader position at

"Live-While-You-Can Seminary";
he received the honor with a new
famous slogan of "All the way
with Yahwch." "What if" Dr.
Fulton Catlin represented the
United States in the Slow Walk-
ing Category at the Olympic
Walking Race. No longer would
Dr. Joe only care for McMurry's
iris if he became a professional
gardner.
"What if" the next educators
achieve honor: P. E. Shotwcll has
a ballet studio named in his
honor; or with her "You Know
Oration" Mrs. Ruth Hodges re-
ceives acclaim at the State Legis-
lature in Austin . . . "What if"
Dr. Virgil Bottom came up from
Down Under . . . Dr. Raymond
Bynum's claim to fame was as
the world renowned Super Byn-
man. Others dream of making money.
Dr. John Hilliard says '"What
if I could sell used cadavers at
half-price." Coach Buddy Forncs
thoughtfully wishes "'What if
I opened a charm and modeling
school." To be really in the
dough Gene Patty (at 70 not
now) wonders "'What if re-enlistment
in the Army at Dyess
would help."

Students Mob Chappell
Here at Hendrick Memorial Hospital Mrs. Arvalee Chap-
pell is reported to be in fair condition after having been rushed
to the hospital by an ambulance early this afternoon. Dur-
ing the first frantic minutes after her arrival doctors were
very pessimistic about her condition; but with a little first aid
and a lot of medical skill the doctors soon patched up her
bruises cuts and fractures.
The events leadng to Dean Chappell's unfortunate
mishap are still being pieced together; but according to Stu-
dent Association president Tommy Jordan who is also a
patient at Hendricks where he is recovering from shock Mrs.
Chappell was knocked down'and stampeded by a large mob of
students who swept down upon her office this afternoon.
Apparently this group of unruly students did not have
any premeditated thoughts of violence. Numbering any-
where from one hundred to two hundred students the mob's
sole purpose was to turn in their individual petitions for stu-
dent body offices before the deadline at noon tomorrow.
Although Jordan's personal physician stated that he was
in no mental or physical condition to be interviewed by the
press it is apparent that he never expected this many Mc-
Murry students to bo interested enough in their school and
their fellow students to put forth the effort to run for an
elected office. ... . 4 .
Many would have been content to see at least two people
running for each office after the pathetic number of people
who ran for office last year. '
Could it be that McMurry students have finally realized
that there is more to college than books and studying? It
has been stated in years past that the primary reason for
the small number of students interested in the running for
office is that McMurry students do not have time for this
lypo of thing. Many McMurry students are so involved
in intellectual pursuits that they haye very little time for
outside activities
In an interview shortly before the paper went to press
Dr. Gordon Bennett stated that he is excited about this dem-
onstration of student enthusiasm. According to Dr. Bennett
it may be necessary to dismiss classes on Monday and Tues-
day next week to give the student body sufficient time to hear
nil the candidates' campaign speeches.
Annual Expands
Paper Goes Daily
According to newspaper and
yearbook editors the Totem
will become a biannual pub-
lication next fall while the
War Whoop staff will publish
a daily newspaper beginning
Monday.
Mrs. Anne Green Totem
editor said that the change
was necessary to give better
and complete coverage of stu-
dent activities. In order to
compete in the field of on the
spot news coverage the paper
must be modernized said
Richard Bauman editor. "We
have no other choice but to go
dally."

Fore -Sighted Administrators
Propose 'Campus Beautiful' Plan
The Campus Bcautification
Committee is happy to report that
there is a purpose to the various
patches of grass that have been
dug up in many spots over the
campus.
In answer to student inquiries
the Committee said that
the grass is not being dug up near
the sidewalks to force the stu-
dents to keep off the grass. A
member of the Committee said
that he feels McMurry stu-
dents are mature and respon-
sible enough to walk on the side-
walks to help with campus im-
provement without reminders
such as removal of the grass.
"Anyway" this committee mem-
ber added confusedly "why
would students keep off the
grass if it were removed?"
The most logical reason for
these unsightly patches of dirt is
that the McMurry administration
has decided to extend McMurry's
famous iris 'garden. These beau-
tiful flowers will be planted at
various spots over the campus in
hopes that McMurry will "liter-
ally" glow with blossoms of color.
According to Dr. Gordon Ben
nett the administration decided
to extend the iris gardens because
there have been numerous dona-
tions of large sums of money to
the college during the past few
months. Officials in the admin-
istration were at a loss as to what
to do with this money until the
iris proposal was mentioned.
Dr. Bennett states that he feels
the additional irises are just what
the campus needs. After these
small iris spots of beauty have
been completed any leftover
money will be used to build a new
gymnasium a new student union
building and a new fine arts
building.
