sacrificed their own coinlbil to
benefit incoming .students as well
as the overall campus serenity.
The transition could not have
been made smoothei on the students
part as they enduied the wait and
moving back and loith with gieat
attitudes.
The admiiiMiation also put
forth an admiiable effoit to
accommodate the "homeless"
students as the Newbury's kept a
minor crowd in then own home.
Unfortunately a few errois in
communication occurred between
administrators and students but
they have for the most part been
resolved.
Now the students can finally
focus their attention on academics
and other pressing matter.;.

Dating myths explained
Jody Wright
As a freshman on the revered
campus of Howard Payne I am not
familiar with many of the long
standing dating traditions. I would
like to take this space to clarify
them for other new students who
may be as confused as I was.
First on the list of Howard
Payne dating decorum arc the rules
regarding where you are seen with
a memberof the opposite gender on
and around campus.
If you take a guygirl to
Underwoods you are engaged. This
is clearly a joke and is not to be
taken seriously as nobody on
campus can afford to take a date
there.
If two people of opposing
genders arc observed taking a stroll
around the perimeter of the campus
engagement is presumed. A few
techniques that could be helpful for
luring that unsuspecting victim: tell
them you lost your keys somewhere
around the campus and ask them to
help you find them. A variation is
to steal someone's keys and run
around the campus as they .chase
you. I'm not sure if being chased
around the campus counts but hey
give it a shot anyway.
Another precept of dating
around here involves sitting under
a tree in Old Main Park. If done
properly you will be having a
blessed nuptial service the next day .
I would not recommend trying this
unless you have known the person
of the opposite gender longer than
the month we have been here. If
you decide to sit under the tree
anyway I know some ministerial
students who could use a few bucks.
As far as the next rule I believe
it is an unbreakable one that should
be honored through hot stuff or
high water: if a guy finds a girl's
I.D. card and returns it to her she is
supposed to go out with him. As far
as the girls that feel there are no
guys to date hey drop those I.D.
cards we'll look for them. Guys
look at the picture before you return
it if you don't want the date
someone else might. Here is a
chance to make money by
subcontracting lost I.D. cards to
dcspciatc slobs too chicken to ask
anyone out.
As far as the campus motto
"ring by spring or your money
back" I prefer a saying of far greater
implications "a date before I
graduate."

Newbury
launches his
new escape
Hope Williams
Sitting in the captain's chair
with his admiral's hat on. Dr. Don
Newbury president of Howard
Payne University asked his crew if
they were ready. Lola May Daniels
HPU's mission service corp
volunteer sat to the right of the
captain'schair. I sat directly behind
thecaptain'schair facing the engine
and the rest of the crew sal on the
front end of the boat. "Ready." the
ciew chanted. Then Dr. Newbury
hit the gas. and I fell out of my scat.
Dr. Newbury escapes fiom his
job by entertaining Howard Payne
students with his new boat.
"It's not a Cadillac . . . it's just
a boat." Newbury recently bought
the 12 year-old boat from Howard
Payne Board of Trustees member
Mary Scolt Nebers "and her
husband too." for about $5000.
The boat can carry up to seven
people or 1050 pounds and still
easily stream-line across Lake
Brownwood wilh its Tim Taylor
175-horsepowcr engine (Dr.
Newbury's favorite show is Home
Improvement ).
The idea for his "form of
escape" developed during the
summer break. "I rationalized
several reasons; none of which my
wife thinks is worth much" Dr.
Newbury said. "The last thing I
said to my wife was 'Dear. I'm not
buying a ranch . just an old boat'."
Dr. Newbury's daughters
bought him an admiral's hat lo wear
while boating. "I feel like snoopy
challenging the world trying not to
turn over the boat" Dr. Newbury
said.
We cruised around Lake
Brownwood several times at about
40-45 mph. We did not have to
look at the specd-ometer to know
how fast the boat was traveling; we
could tell by the expressions on Dr.
Newbury's face.
Unfortunately wedid not have
any water skiers with us that day
with the exception of Mrs. Daniels
who just celebrated her 91st
birthday. On a previous boat ride
she informed Dr. Newbury that she
wanted ski on the next go-around;
however Dr. Newbury was
convinced that Mrs. Daniels was
joking.
