The McMurry Student
Government has found
through the research of the
past bulletins of the college
that the last time the Christ-
ian Service Scholarship was
increased was in the school
year of 19(59-1970. At this
time the tuition was raised
from $27.00 per semester
hour to $30.00 per semester
hour. At this same time the
Christian Service Scholar-
ship was raised from $250.00
per year to $300.00 per year.

WAH WHOOP
$17.00 per semester hour
and the scholarship is still
only $300.00 per year. This
tuition rate is a 57? increase
in the last seven years. If the
scholarship were worth now
what it was in the year 1969
& 1970 it would he $471.00.
The McMurry Student
Government respectfully re-
quests that the Faculty Stu-
dent Services Committee
Business Office Office of the
President and the Board of
Trustees of McMurry College
adopt the amount of $175.00
per year for this scholarship
and review the amounts of
other such scholarships
granted by the college. It is
felt that there is a need to
make endeavors in this area
to increase the interest of
students going into such re-
lated fields
At The
Movies
In the year 2001 a strange
monolith throwing off unex-
plained rays is found at the
bottom of a moon excavation
and points the way to some-
thing more foreign und dis-
tant than man can imagine.
This is the background for
the movie 2001: Space
Odyssey. It is a movie which
explores the dynamics of
space travel while tracing
the technological history of
mankind.
Keir Dullea Gary Lock-
wood Douglas Ryan and
William Sylvester star in the
movie.
2201: A Space Odyssey will
be shown in Radford Au-
ditorium on Fri. Oct. 1st at 8
p.m. Admission is 50 cents.
Rappelling Challenges Beasley
During Outward Bound Course
Dr. Clark Beasely an As-
sociate Professor of Biology
and Director of May Term
speaks about one of his ex-
periences in the outdoors.
Unless you have rappclled
you probably can't imagine
the thoughts thut go through
a person's mind when he
steps over the edge of a
80-foot cliff. Even though
you consciously know there
is no way you con slip from
the ropes and fall there is
the unconscious feeling of
possible disaster. The action
is simply against everything
you have ever been taught or
have thought. Rappelling
the descent of a cliff using
ropeB is one of the many ac-
tivities that the Soutwest
Outward Bound School uses
to accomplish it goals. To
quote from some of the
School's literature the
philosophy is that of
". . . wilderness experience
where physically demanding
nnd stressful experiences are
used to stimulute personul
growth interpersonal effec-
tiveness and discovery of
one's relationship to the en-
vironment." Itcertuinlydoes
Totem Man Says Style
Shifts Students Same
Rarely can it ho said that a
person loves his job after
doing it for any groat length
of time but Lloyd Jones an
Abilene photographer is a
definite exception. Jones has
been in the picture-taking
business for 35 years and
he still loves it.
Photography began as a
hobby for Jones. Ho bought
his first camera when he was
a teenager and paid only a
dollar for it. Film was a dime
as were prints. Jones then
decided that he wanted to go
into photography as a profes-
sion and to give tip a college
education to attend what he
calls "the school of hard
knocks."
For several years the bud-
ding photographer travelled
around the country working
in studios: he worked in his
home state of Ohio; New
Mexico Arizona California
and others. Ho finally settled
in Texas for two reasons. One
was to got rid of a bad sinus
problem which he says "got
worse instead of hotter hut I
like the country." Also in the
course of his travels he mar-
ried a Texan. "You just can't
keep Texans out of Texas" he
says and laughs.
This particular Texan his
wife Deanie is a very
talented lady in her own
right. Besides being the
other half of the Lloyd Jones
Studio stair she also paints
and helped Jones raise two
children. They now have four
grandchildren.
Jones docs not limit his
photography to studio work.
"1 enj0y anything having to
do with photography" and
there is sincerity in his voice.
His pictures have been in
photography shows in the
area but he doesn't consider
himself an artist in his field.
He works for the sheer
pleasure of taking pictures.
Jones' favorite subjects are
thut!
Outward Bound began us a
training program for seamen
in Wales about 1941. It came
to the U.S. in 1962 und is
now offered through 7
Schools distributed across
the country. The Southwest
School has its offices in Santa
Fe. Courses varying from one
to 3 weeks are offered. Stu-
dents range from the high
school age to large corporate
executives. The one-week
course I just returned from
attracted such people as a
nurse from Oklahoma a
computer programmer from
Michigan a housewife-
insurance agent from Ohio
and an engineer and a
banker from Illinois. Most
were utilizing their vacation
time for the course. Some felt
they need a retreat from
civilization to examine
where they were in life. My
participation wus to a large
extent to ascertain the feasi-
bility of offering nn Outwurd
Bound course during
McMurry College's May
Term
The instructors were ex-
cellent. Their insight und
Srilimlirr HO 1070
children. Ho has to overcome
a few problems at
first "they think I'm a doc-
tor and I'm going to give
them a shot." The children
usually lose their fears
though the instant that
Jones pulls out a very well-
worn rubber monkey and
places it on his head.
In the 21 years that Lloyd
Jones has boon taking pic-
tures for the McMurry an-
mini he has seen styles come
and go skirt lengths men's
facial hair hair length on
both men and women but
one thing has remained the
same. "The kids haven't
changed that much. They're
still super!"
Special deals are offered to
McMurry students from
Lloyd Jones studios. Combi-
nations of either one 8 x 10
with 12 wallet sized photos
or two 5 x 7 with six wallet
sizes will bo offered at a dis-
count. Jones says that the proofs
of the annual shots will he
ready next week and stu-
dents are to come pick them
up between one and five
o'clock on October 4 5 or (5.
Make-up pictures will he
taken on October 1 1 at Jones'
studio on North 6th and
Meander.

The food was tasty and nut-
ritious. Utilizing the Gila
Wilderness Area near Silver
City New Mexico as a clas-
sroom the instructors ran us
through the course at a pace
which intentionaly did not
allow for leisure time or sight
seeing.
One of the less memorable
events wns setting up camp
during a rain storm which
included intermittent hail.
One of the more memorable
events wns a morning run
followed by a dip in the cold
mountain stream. Everyone
enjoyed the solo a period of
15 hours which included
sleep solitude a bath in the
river and a time for reflec-
tion. My sleep wns inter-
rupted by a skunk looking for
food under my sleeping bog
but we separated peacefully.
After a week of Outward
Bound we felt like we were
saying farewell to life-long
friends. All of the group were
thankful for the experience;
some were thankful it was
over; some were planning to
take another Outward
Bound course in the near fu-
ture. vltlJUtlljr tYUD UU totUUU 111.
