H-SU Students Speak
Concerning Bomb Halt
By BETTY LOU ROGERS
Brand Staff Writer
Students of Hardin - Simmons
University have varying thoughts
about the bombing halt in Viet-
nam. Mike Wilson senior feels
that it was a political maneuver.
He explains "The South Viet-
namese are not interested in
peace talks. Democrats are just
interested in getting in office."
He adds "Why did they stop
bombing five days before the
election? They could have
waited."
"EACH TIME the North comes
back with stronger forces after
halts. I think it was pretty
stupid to halt bombing when the
North had just given us a large
scale shelling" Wilson states.
Tom Sargeant junior was not
surprised at the announcement
and says "I expected it last
month."
"I don't know whether John-
Four Profs
Attend Meet
Four English staff' members
attended the South Central Mod-
ern Language Association meet-
ings in San Antonio Oct. 31-
Nov. 3. Those attending were
Mrs. Velma Reiff Mrs. M. C.
Arnold Miss Rosalyn Lewis and
Mrs. Billie Lacy.
They heard Edward Albee
author of "Who's Afraid of Vir-
ginia Wolfe?" on "The Relation-
ship of the Creative Arts to the
People."
Mrs. Reiff explains that Albee
believes that a playwright is a
social critic. The playwright's
function is to stimulate people to
examine their values. .
Albee stated "The audience de-
termines what type of art they
will have."
Miss Lewis says "Albee thinks
art should be constructive but
presently reality."
In his talk Albee used the
theater to represent all of litera-
ture. He explained that movies
are- not as real as plays because
the audience cannot relate to the
actor on the screen as well as they
can to people on a stage.
. Albee defined a good director
or actor as "one who directs and
acts in such a way that the audi-
ence is not aware that the play
is being directed or acted."
The teacher ako saw "La
Periehole" directed by Paul
laker.
garding repayment in case the re-
cipient is a foreign student re-
turning to his native land.
"We are pleased that the trus-
tees of the Dora E. Cunningham
Trust have placed this additional
confidence in Hardin-Simmons
University. Mrs. Cunningham
believed in the importance of
Christian higher education.
Through the wise administration
of this fund her influence con-
tinues as assistance is given to
more and more deserving young
people.
HE WAS joined by Dr. Clyde
Childers and Kenneth Hill- head
of the Student Financial Aid
office.
Commented Childers "The De-
velopment Office is grateful for
son put it off or not" he explains.
"If it helps I'm for it."
HE SAID "I want the war to
end before I get into the mili-
tary but we can't just pull out."
Keith Mitchell . sophomore
states "The bombing halt is only
a small step to something big that
needs to be done."
From a girl's point of view Sue
Crosthwait senior says "From
the things that have happened in
the past I just don't have much
confidence in the bombing halt."
Thelma Gayle Doyle junior
says "At first I was glad and
then I was scared."
CHERIE ADKINS sophomore
states "The halt comes at a
crucial time and seems to be a
political move by Johnson."
Charles Chambles senior con-
tends "Whether it was a political
maneuver or not does not matter.
We have tried partial halts
before."
He explains "The complete
bombing halt is what the Viet
Cong required. I think it is neces-
sary that we try it."
"I wish it had come sooner"
he adds.

Winter is basketball trips

Winter is pneumonia flu

so great about winter any-

to the H-SU student body.

a respectable group of citi-
zens who even in disagree-
ment gives everyone the
right to be heard.
Perhaps the explanation
lies in a recent statement of
Dr. Edward G. Groesbeck
vice president for academic
affairs.
"A Christian attitude fac-
ulty and administration in-
terest in individual student
needs and the opportunity
for every H-SU student to
go as far as he chooses com-
bine to give this institution
an atmosphere that larger
institutions often lack."
Could it be that those on
the forty acres have learned
a great lesson? Could it be
that they have learned to
care even for those with
whom they disagree?
