here could receive what I have
received" said Dr. Burnarn.
One of the most humorous
events of the evening was the
swearing in of "Sheriff" Delmer
Tips and his 26 deputies along
with faculty deputy Jack Collins.
The supposedly "repeating the
oath of office" turned into one
long "Yaaaa yaaaaaaa yaaaaaaa"
rumored to have been started by
the faculty deputy.
Wednesday night an old time
camp meeting was held with
cowboy evangelist Joe Evans be-
ing the featured speaker. Evans
who is 80 years old is well-known
as an old-time evangelist and cap
tured the hearts of all H-SU stu-
dents and townspeople attending
the meeting.
All week long a jail has been
set up on the campus and all
persons not wearing western garb
were jailed. Of course this only
happened after they received a
"fair" trial by the Kangaroo
Court. Needless to say no one
received a pardon.
Adding to the western mood
the Student Council installed a
rail for the bar in the SUB and
swinging doors at the entrance.
An antique old stagecoach sat by
the jail during the week.
A greased pig chase was sched-
uled to take place in front of the
SUB today at 2:30. "Anyone who
catches him gets him" said Jim
Stephens Student Council social
cnairman.
The 12th annual H-SU Inter-

as 8 p. m. Saturday.
