LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS
i
Student Criticise Program
Editor
Billed as one of America's
mot know ledgcablc men on sub-
versive groups and activities
Dr Stukcnbrocker and his lec-
ture were a disappointment to
many students Many of us
expected an informative and
educational lecture concerning
the histories and activities of
radical leftist croups m Amer-
ica Much to our dismay. vc heard
n paternal lecture w.th only brief
allusions to the activ.tics of the
vc-Mermen
McMurry has wasted a won-
derful orportu".it to educate
and inform its students as to the
dangers of numerous politically
leftist groups on campuses today
Ralph Turner
Apathy Present At McM
Dear Editor.
On Monday. Oct 5 Dr Kim
had scheduled a Dean search to
enable students to share ideas
about the qualifications for the
January Term
(Continued from Page 1)
it .s being rcqu.red three out of
four cars for the freshmen if
they are to graduate A fresh-
man from Sweetwater. Rcba
Coolc . said. "1 think the cours-
es are good but I don't think
they should be mandatory"
Brenda Mathis. a freshman
from Floydada. commented. "It
is a great opportunity for new
and eveiting experiences but I
dor."t think it's fair to require
it"
Jack Webb a freshman from
Slatoru stated. "I think it will
have to be required if it is go-
ing to ever succeed but I think
freshmen should be required to
take .t only two out of four
years instead of three out of
four years "
Not only are freshmen op-
posed to its requirements but al-
so many uppcrclassmcn. Linda
Christonsen. a senior from
K-.ngsland. remarked. "I think
it's a good idea but I don't think
freshmen should be required to
take :t"
Another criticism that many of
the uj.perclassmen have espec-
ially brought out is that the
courses don't work with their
plans Kirk Harruff. a junior
from Dalhart replied "'t's al-
right but I wish there were
more courses that would work
towards my degree " Paula Ter-
rell a senior from Haskell said
"I think some of the courses are
good but I feel since these cours-
es are in-depth studies they
should be counted as advance
hours "
A sophomore from Brown-
wood. Karen Greenwaldt assert-
ed. "I think it's a good idea but
I wish that required courses
would be offered "
To gain a more accurate evalu-
ation it might be wise to wait
until after the 1970 January

Snake Dance To Gym
Planned For Pep Rally
This week's pep rally for
the East Texas game has been
scheduled for 5:30 p-m. Fri-
day afternoon. Students are
asked to meet In front of
Hadford for a snake dance
that will lead them to Indian
Gym where they will join
the football team and band.
Competition for the spirit
stick will be between the

honors went to Gamma Sig-
ma women's social club and
Ko Sari wen's social club.
new Dean Tho event had been
advertised for several days prior
to its occurance Since the Dean
search was scheduled for the
regular College series program
many students came However
when the. learned that the
meeting did not count for Col-
lege Series the alert intelli-
gent concerned college student

the cry. "No credit' don't go
1 must congratulate these stu-
dents of McMurry who so dra-
matically gave us a display of
apathy
I once criticized the older
generations for apathy and
hypocrisy Now that same
apathy and hypocrisy are be-
coming evermore vivid in the
younger generation i e us Are
we only interested in making
the grade and getting through"
The campus abounds with
murmerings from the students
as they complain about the sys-
tem But when the oppnrtunit
comes to help change the .
tern those same students play
the silent majontj game be-
cause there is no credit Is not

the status quo. why don't they
respond to the efforts to im-

McMurry is a small com-
munity within itself complete
with politics religion social
life social problems tension and
corruption If we cannot be re-
sponsible participants in this
small society what will happen
when we become the leaders of
the bigger societies"

What most interests young
travelers today'
Traveling students want to
meet the residents of the land
in which they are sojourning
according to Dr Alexander
Ungvary who is conducting a
mini-semester January Term
tour to Europe for McMurry
College
"The first thing they ask is:
'will we be able to actually meet
the people"'." explains Mrs
Ungvary. also a McMurry prof
who will go on the traveling
study course with her husband.
"We will give them plenty of
time for meeting people." tays
Ungvary. "We ..ave arranged
meetings with students in Italy
and Greece and there will be
time to venture out and get out
on their own "
Mr and Mrs Ungvary have
set an October 15 deadline for
the "Study Tour to Italy and
Greece" which leaves Dec 26

EH"SWfcAG6 ElS FORACHfNO-
Indian
by Pug
The McMurry Indians came out on top of a 33-15 score
this weekend at Nacogdoches with injuries amounting to
little more than aching bodies and bleeding noses. Indian
fans can consider that lucky compared to the price of victory
that both the University of Texas and Texas A&I paid this
weekend.
The Horns humbled the Sooncrs in the wild wooly Tex-as-OU
weekend in Dallas but the victory was marred by
the loss of Cotton Speyrer who broke his arm as he tried to
brace himself on a tackle. Speyrer who caught the famous
hh-and-2 pass in last year's Cotton Bowl Classic against
Notre Dame will be out for the season.
Texas A&I scored five TD's in the last half three of
them in the final quarter to come from behind and defeat
the ETSU Lions. The win was costly to the Javelinas too
since three year all-conference cornerback Ed Scott was
paralyzed from the neck down after tackling Lion flanker
George Daskalakcs. Sunday's news reported Scott in the
same condition.
It's Willson Lecture time again' This year three lectures
two on Thursday and one on Friday will be presented. Rev.
Claus Rohlfs a member of the faculty at SMU's Perkins
School of Theology will deliver the address. Hopefully this
year's lectures will be a time to gain more than just College
Series credit.
The McM cheerleaders were a little surprised when a
well-polished gentleman strolled across the 50 yard line
before the Indian-Lumberjack game and said "Hi McMurry!
I'm Ralph Steen a McMurry ex and president of Stephen
F. Austin. I'd like to welcome you here and hope that you
win all your games rfter this one." Dr. Steen who looked
quite familiar spoke at last fall's Willson Lecture series.
The McMurry board of trustees will be on campus dur-
ing the Willson lecture series for its annual meeting. Again
amidst the pomp and procedure of board meetings im-
portant decisions concerning McMurry College will be made.
And we as concerned students can only sit around and keep
our fingers crossed and dream about the proposed new
sports center that's been on blueprint so long. While we're
dreaming imagine a much-needed student center a place
to go without being elbow-to-elbow during morning breaks.
Sure we have faith that these improvements will eventually
be made but wouldn't it be nice to have them around be-
fore we all graduate???
