fits. At this time judges will
make the final decision of Who
will be the Freshman, Sopho-
more, Junior and Senior Baau->
1 ties.
The Pageant will be the cul-
mination of an election pro-
cess which began more than a
month ago. On Oct. 10 In Class
meetings, each student was giv-
en the opportunity to nominate
six women from each class. All
nominations were combined with
those nominated by the faculty
to compose the entire list At
this point there Were approxi-
mately 220 women as Beauty
contestants.
"It was felt by the Lasso
staff," explained Betty Held,
managing editor and Beauty
Pageant supervisor for the Las-
so, "that a good way of deleting
the Beauties was> to begin by
considering every single woman
on campus eligible. Resulting,"
she continued, "each girl who
received so much aaotte nomina-
tion became a Beauty nominee."
The second elimination ocetir-
ed when 136 of the 220 candidates
came to an orientation meeting.
By her attendance, each girl
was accepting her nomination.
In chapel Friday, Nov. 10, the
students and faculty again voted
for six girls in each class. Tak-
ing the top six girls in each
class, according to a tally of
the voting, the final unit of
twenty-four girls was deter-
mined.
"There has been considerable
comment about the Beauty con-
test this year," remarked J. R.
Severs, Lasso Editor, "about
both the method of selection and
the eligibility of the candidates.
However, as it has progressed,
we feel that the students have
recognized what we are trying
to do and have developed an
appreciation for this method.
They also have been co-operative
in helping to execute the pro-
gram. It was only after careful
consideration of various tradi-
tional procedures for conduct-
ing a beauty contest, that the
staff set the rules of procedure
and eligibility for selecting the
Lasso beauties this year."

How Democratic
Is Our Voting?
Going to the polls to vote is a popular method of voting on
many college and university compuses. Polls are set up at various
places on the campus, and the students go to them to cast their
vbte in an election.
Is this method more democratic than voting in chapel?
A Survey AVas taken this week to see what Howard Payne Col-
lege students think about such a voting procedure. Here are some
results of the survey.
Carroll Duke, a sophomore from Bradyvflle, Tenn., sums it up
this way: "I think that going to the polls is a great idea because it
would eliminate confusion going in and coming out of chapel. It
would be a good system if the polls were conveniently located."
"It seems to me that such a voting method would be more
„ democratic," says Barney Turner, a sophomore from Brownwood.
"So many times students do not turn in their ballots because of con-
fusion at the doors."
A freshman from May, Verna Mae Pitts, says, "Many times
studehts fail to get a ballot when entering chapel; thus, many stu-
dents do not gtet to vote. By going to the polls everyone would have
the opportunity to vote."
Lina Beth Holland, a junior from Brownwood, has this to say.
"Students Who do not have a class before and after chapel are not
required to attend chapel. Also, some students work during the
chapel peilbd. In either case, they do not get to vote. By having
polls, everyone could vote in campus elections."
"I feel that going to the polls to vote would be a definite ad-
vantage," says Jim Harless, a junior from Ocala, Fla. "The majority
of HFC students are not of voting age, and this method would pro-
vide valuable experience for later voting in city, state and national
affairs. Such voting would give students a real desire to vote."
This is a cross-section of student opinion on campus poll-voting.
Perhaps this change, or one similar, would be a matter to be
considered by the Student Association Senate.
At any rate, the consensus of opinion is against student voting
in chapel, for various reasons. A system of setting up polls on
campus might be tried for one or two elections, to see how much
better it is accepted.
Nevertheless, it's worthy of a study.
Sports Change,
Spirit Doesn't
It is hoped that the school spirit which has been maintained
throughout our football season will become even greater as basket-
ball takes its place in the spotlight of college athletics. The desire
for victory has always been a dynamic factor in the winning of any
sport; the role of the student body lies in helping to create that
desire.
We of the student body can "back the Jackets" through game
attendance and a sincere interest in the welfare of our team.. As
the Jackets strive to gain victory for our college, we should con-
sider it a privilege to lend full support in upholding a fine school
spirit.
This year promises to be a successful one for the Jackets.
Under the guidance of Coach Glen Whitis, the basketball players
are eamstly working toward a victorious season. There is no better
way for Us to show our appreciation for this hard work than through
our support. "For Howard Payne my all" should be the motto of
each student
Then there was Switch-Out Day and Sophomore Doris Baldwin
offered her assistance to Sandra Hays and Sue Osborn. "Do you
want me to cany your trays?!" she offered in the cafeteria at supper.
"Sure, the surprised freshmen answered. (Freshmen these days
aren't used to OFFERING to do things!)
"OK!" cheerily Doris said, as she slid off all plates, silverware
and glasses and carried the empty trays to the cleaning rack.
And the two freshmen were too astounded to even say any-
thing!

Also, during Switch-Out Day, Linda Houston asked suitemate
Sharon Hicks to brush her teeth for her.
And Sharon proceeded to do so.

While mentioning Switch-Out Day, it might be noted that
when the upperclassmen began singing the Alma Mater to close the
"button-up" session, Freshmen continued to try shouting them down.
Tsk, tsk, such disrespect for tradition!

The Chamber of Commerce of the United States has released
information this week concerning a "citizen's course in Freedom vs
Communism . .. The Economics of Survival."
The course, according to releases from the chamber, contrasts
principles and practices of Democracy and Communism. Major
emphasis is on economics, but military, political and ideological
aspects of Communism are also covered.
Involving eight discussion sessions for groups of 15 to 20 per-
sons, the course covers such topics as "What you can do about Com-
munism," "The Communist Challenge" and "Meeting the Economic
Challenge."
The course sounds quite interesting. Actually, we have this and
a lot more throughout the year, and particularly during the annual
Democracy-in-Action Week in the spring.
Not only do we gain all the basic information, but we hear
it from people in "high places."

Smile Big!
A smile — A smile costs noth-
ing, but gives much.
It enriches those who receive,
without making poorer those
who give.
It takes but a moment, but the
memory of it sometimes lasts
forever.
None is so rich or mighty
that he can get along without
it, and none is so poor but that
he can be made rich by it.
A smile creates happiness in
the home, fosters good will in
business, and is the counter-
sign of friendship.
It brings rest to the weary,
cheer to the discouraged, sun-
shine to the sad, and it is na-
ture's best antidote for trouble.
Yet it cannot be bought, beg-
ged, borrowed, or stolen, for it
i& something that is of no value
to anyone until it is given
away.
Some people are too tired to
give you a smile. Give them one
of yours, as none needs a smile
so much as he who has none to
give.
God bless the good-natured,
for they bless everybody else.
You'll know him If you meet
him,
And you'll find it worth your
while
To cultivate the friendship of
The Man Behind the Smile.
