Enrollment 'on target'
Fall enrollment projec-
tions made this spring at
Howard Payne University
are "on target" and
university officials are now
predicting a final enroll-
ment count above 1.100.
As of Sept. 4 enrollment
in college credit classes
reached 1072 an increase
of 92 students over last
fall's final total of 980 ac-
cording to Don Jackson
registrar.
"It is evident to me that
many people are excited
about the resurgence of
Howard Payne University
and that both parents and
students are interested in
quality higher education
provided in a Christian at-
mosphere" said Dr. Don
Newbury HP president.
"We are extremely
thankful to the many per
initiation begins: freshmen
September 11 marked the
beginning of a two week
period during which up-
perclassmen rule embar-
rass ridicule and take ad-
vantage of freshman
initiates.
Initiation '87 kicked off
with a concert by Contem-
porary Christian Artist
Steve Archer followed by
Round-up at Gatti's.
Freshmen were bombard-
ed with buttermilk flour
shaving cream and eggs
as they left the concert.
Gatti's was the site for
Round-Up where up-
perclassmen put to full use
their power and set out to

added.
HP has now registered
two successive fall in-
creases in enrollment with
a jump from 840 in 1985 to
980 last year and enroll-
ment growth in the last two
years is more than 30
percent.
"Our stated goal was to
have an increase of 100
students per year through
1990" Newbury said "and
as of now the university is
running ahead of
projections."
In order to alleviate cam-
pus housing shortages
university officials opted to
allow junior and senior
students with acceptable
grades and good standing
to live off campus this fall;
approximately 25 students
begin initiation.
Freshmen must wear
beanies (squared!) and
perform acts that
designated upperclassmen
ask. Some favorites are
button-ups frying bacon
air raids marriage pro-
posals and beanie loving.
If caught walking on grass
or through a front door a
freshman can readily ex-
pect to get a crash course
on apologizing with deep
and sincere emotion to the
door. If caught without a
beanie a freshman must
wear on his or her head
anything an up-
perclassman commands.
as Sumner scholars
Smith of Snyder Robert
Sullivan of Hewitt and
Mona Webb of Freeport
have all been granted full
two-year scholarships to
the Academy.
The scholarships are
awarded by the Hatton W.
Sumners Foundation of
Dallas. They are presented
to outstanding juniors and
seniors
opted to live off campus.
"Without this decision
several dozen students
would have had to be turn-
ed away from campus
housing" Newbury said.
Even with this new
policy about 20 students
were housed temporarily in
a campus residence and
other students were housed
three-to-a room for three
nights. As it stands now
HP can house about 580
students in its three
residence halls and they
are more than 95 percent
filled.
Although enrollment
breakdowns by classes are
not yet completed it is
believed that the projected
figure of 500 new students
(freshmen and transfers)
will be realized.
beware
The only time freshmen do
not have to wear their
beanies is during Chapel or
Convocation on Sundays
and within their own room.
Dress up days include Op-
posite Sex Day 50's Day
and Future Day. There
will also be a Switch-out
Day where upperclassmen
return to their old
freshmen days.
As one can see Initiation
'87 is in full swing at
Howard Payne. The most
important rule for the two
week initiation period is for
all participants in Initia-
tion '87 to have fun.
To be eligible for the
Sumners award students
must complete a com-
petitive interview before a
panel of directors of the
Sumners Foundation. A 3.0
or better grade point
average must be maintain-
ed by the scholarship
student.

Senate:
Initiation festival discussed at meeting
The Monday night ses-
sion of the Student Associa-
tion Senate was highlighted
by over twenty minutes of
off-the-record remarks by
several senators and SA
President Lonna Myers
Hord.
The fifth meeting of Mrs.
Hord's administration also
included updates on initia-
tion and Student Govern-
ment's concession stand at
the Pecan Valley Arts
Festival as well as actions
to voice student
dissatisfaction with the
location of the student sec-
tion at the football games.
As of Friday Sept. 11 ap-
proximately 130 freshman
and 90 upperclassmen had
signed up to participate in
initiation Mrs. Hord
reported. These figures do
not include those students
who signed up at Round Up
Friday night.
As everyone knows
there has been a state of
confusion as to when the
HPU Revival is to take
place. The official dates
and times are as follows:
Monday Sept. 21 through
Friday Sept. 25
from Southwestern Baptist
Theological Seminary.
He was ordained for the
Gospel ministry at the age
of nineteen. He has spent
twenty-nine years pastor-
ing churches and was a
former pastor of Calvary
Baptist Church of May.
Since 1967 Dr. Jackson
has served as the pastor of
North Phoenix Baptist
Church. Under his leader-
ship membership has
grown from less than 1000
to over 18000. He is a
former president of the
Arizona Southern Baptist
Convention.
Dr. Jackson has received
the doctor of divinity
degree from HPU and
Mrs. Hord also explained
that all students who have
completed initiation may
participate whether or not
they are big brothers or
sisters.
The booth at the arts
festival is estimated by
Mrs. Hord to raise over
$1000 for the senate
budget. The group is hav-
ing the fundraiser to sup-
plement their budget .
Several senators
reported numerous student
complaints that the student
section at the football
games is located on the 10
to 20 yard lines. The body
approved a statement ex-
pressing student
dissatisfaction with the
location and suggesting
that a change be made.
This statement will be for-
warded to the administra-
tion for consideration.
Official time for revival set
Monday 7 p.m.; Tuesday-
Thursday 9:30 a.m. and 7
p.m.; and Friday 9:30
a.m.
