THIRD TIME IS
THE CHARM!
If the old saying that "the third
time's a. charm" is true, then it
probably means that no one else
will get locked in the Administra-
tion Building. Yes, it happened
again, for the third time to be
exact,
Paul Lessard and Nolan Pike
made the mistake of not watching
the time while they were in the
GRASSBURR office Saturday af-
ternoon working on the military
section of the yearbook. When
hunger pangs drew Paul toward
the dining hall at 5:30, he found
his way blocked by doors tightly
locked.
A phone call to Mr. Mack Price
broughth freedom to the boys, a
chuckle for Mr. Price, and a
chance to eat supper to Paul
(which he said was what he w*s
the most worried about.)
Paul and Nolan have now join-
ed the ranks of Carolyn Masters,
Elaine Gresham, and Mr. Price
himself, who have also been locked
in the Administration Building-
while working on the J-TAC.
HAND-TENDED TOBACCO
LEXINGTON, Ky. UP) — The
raising of burley tobacco is al-
most unique in that it is one of
the few crops grown in the nation
that requires a keen hand.
Burley is seeded, harvested,
and most of the time, stored by
hand. Several universities in to-
bacco growing areas are studying
methods to mechanize this part
of the tobacco industry.
Dr, Smith Enjoys
Mexican Holiday
Dr. Dick Smith, head of the
Social Science Department, spent
the Christmas holidays in Mexico.
While there, he and friends from
the University of Texas visited
the Yucatan Peninsula and Mexico
City,
The party spent eight days in
Merida, Chichen, and Uxmal look-
ing at the ruins of the ancient
Maya civilization. Merida was a
large city during the sixth throug'h
eighth centuries. It was, abandoned
for no apparent reason but was
later re-inhabited in the tenth and
eleventh centuries. The city be-
came even more elaborate than
before, becoming the largest city
in Yucatan with one-half million
people. Ttoday about one-half the
buildings have been uncovered and
are used for ceremonial and mark-
et purposes.
Dr, Smith was especially im-
pressed with the large, base-relief,

Peace Corps may serve in com-

Community development is &
term often heard but seldom un-
derstood.
In the usual sense, it means the
effort of people in groups to raisa

must be able to serve as catalysts-
Volunteers work on the precinct
level with rural and urban people,
helping them define and place pri-
orities on their needs and desires,,
helping them to harness their re-
sources and capabilities to achieve
their goals.
For community development
workers the decisive qualifications
are versatility, a broadness of ex-
periences, a collection of knacks
gleaned from hobbies, participa-
tion in sports, or summer jobaf

arts students have gained in ths
process of growing up.
