deferred during their term of
service. All deferments however
are handled by local draft boards.
Hall will be answered all ques-
tions regarding training pay
health care taxes and any other
questions students might have
during his interviewing period.
"There's no place like home."
But home could be very far away.
And it is for a number of stu-
dents. A large number of these
students are finding that home is
in fact too far away to make it
home for Thanksgiving.
Judy Cononis freshman from
Shreveport La. will soon find
that it is not extremely distant
however. She plans to fly home
"as soon as she can get out of
class."
Linda Baker freshman from
Carlinville 111. plans to go to
Brownfield with a friend since
she cannot make it home for the
holidays.
Richard Snyder Canal Zone
and David Osborne Vancouver
B. C are making plans to re-
main in the dorm. They like
most of the students who do not
make it home for Thanksgiving
are planning to fly home for
Christmas.
Rebecca Barlow freshman from
Phoenix Arizona is going to her
former home 'town Wichita Falls.
In fact she has never seen her
new home in Arizona her par-
ents moved the day she entered
school.
Gary Unterborn freshman from
Rochester N. Y. is giving up the
snow for the sunshine found in
El Paso. He too hopes to fly
home Christmas.
Frank South finds that the
Canal Zone is also too far so he
is settling for Ft. Worth.
Students will be returning to
the campus still saying "There's
no place like home and no
cooking like home cooking."
Anyone staying at Hardin-
Simmons during the various
holidays? Well here is a re-
minder regarding meals from D.
W. Wofford director of the Stu-
dent Center. As mealtime is
nearly everyone's favorite hour of
the day students planning to re-
main on campus during any holi-
day should write down this sched-
ule and start making plans.
The last meal before the
Thanksgiving Holidays will be
lunch or dinner on Nov. 24. The
first meal after Thanksgiving
will be breakfast Nov. 29.
The last meal before the
Christmas holidays will be supper
on Dec. 17. The first meal after
the New Year's Day will be
breakfast on Jan. 3.
The last meal following the end
of the semester will be dinner
on Jan. 27. The first meal be-
ginning the spring semester will
be breakfast Jan. 31.
The cafeteria will close at noon
April 7 for the beginning of the
Easter holidays and will be open
April 12.
"The reason we are giving this
information now is to let the stu-
dents know ahead of time what to
expect" explained Wofford.
Field House Sports
New Scoreboard
A new four-sided scoreboard headed the list of items
revealed by head basketball coach Lou Henson at the Press
Luncheon held by the Athletic
department this week. The
board valued at $1600 was pur-
chased several weeks ago when
the senior class and the cheer-
leaders agreed to contribute to-
ward the price. Projects of var-
ious natures have been scheduled
to raise money to pay for the
scoreboard.
New bleachers will be placed
on the west and east sides of Rose
Field House increasing the seat-
ing capacity to approximately
2500 people. A new concession
stand will be placed near the east
entrance to handle business faster.
Workmen are in the process of
putting a new roof on the field
house and plans are being drawn
up for wall-to-wall carpeting in
the visitors dressing room.
The proposed Abilene Civic
Center was discussed. It will be
built by a joint city-county bond
issue which will be voted on by
