Spirit Improving In Cross-Town Rivalry
The 26th chapter of the Crosstown Chronicle will be
written tomorrow night in Fair Park Stadium after the Mc-
Murry - ACC game.
Included in this log are figures kept on this football-type
rivalry showing ACC with a lead of 15 games to 10.
For some reason no statistics are recorded on the number
of times the Indians have tried to wrest the victory bell or
how many times the Wildcats have journeyed to the Mc-
Murry stomping grounds in quest of their little Indian.
Strategically placed "McM" 's are seen around the ACC
campus palpable memorials to some McMurry rowdys of
yesteryear.
The Hill People are certainly not without blemish. A
lew not-so-honorable men adorned the gymnasium wall of
the aforementioned school with a catchy three-letter phrase
"ACC" in red letters three feet high.
The city of Abilene is proud of the manner in which
ACC-McMurry contention confines itself to the football field.
In recent years things have been getting better.
Because the Indians are experiencing one of their most
successful seasons and the Wildcats are beginning to hit
their stride the game tomorrow night should provide more
than enough fireworks. Just in case some bon vivants still
should be in search of a "hot time in the old town" the ad-
ministration enacted a ruling which would allow said stu
dents to spend the remainder of the semester cooling off.
According to Garvin Beauchamp Dean of Students
policies with reference to visiting another campus with ma-
licious or willful intent to destroy property are:
"Disciplinary action will be taken when it is known that
a student visited another campus for painting destroying
property or causing any type of disturbance.
"Visits to other campi should be made during the day
light hours or by definite appointment and these visits should
be kept short.
"The college frowns on any action of a student that fs

the tour in that locality.
Although not sure exactly what
they're expected to do Morrow
and Jackson said that they expect
to give track clinics talks and
demonstrations to schools col-
leges and other groups in the
areas.
The trip will include visits to
eight countries in South and Cen-
tral America and Cuba. Stops In-

Rico and El Salvador.
"This is not the first time they

Charles Marler. "It is the fin;
