CHARLIE HALL OF YOAKUM
It took the helpful advice of
a funeral director to tip off the
Houston Cougars about Charlie
Hall, their All-America left line
backer canidate.
With fall practice opening on,
August 24, Hall begins his third
year as a starter. One of the
few sophomores ever to start
for the “Mad Dog*’ defense Hall
did not play that much defense
until he came to Houston.
Winner of the Walter O. Cald-
well, Jr., award as the top fresh-
man player of 1967, Charlie made
the difficult switch from de-
fensive end to linebacker.
Last season Hall improved tre-
mendously in all facets of the
game. Very quick and with good
speed, Charlie’s tall build, 6
4, 210 pounds, helps him on pass
defense. Possessing excellent

designed to take LCC to Senior
College status, by pledging $151,
000 Saturday, July 11, at their
quarterly meeting. The goal for
Phase II is to raise one million
dollars in 1970.
Lubbock Christian is in the
transition period from a Junior
College to a Senior College with
the Junior year starting with the
fall semester.
An LCC Loyalty Day is plan-
ned for September 7, 1970, witha

Hunting) Fishing
Licenses Shipped
To Distributors
AUSTIN—The Texas Parks and
Wildlife Department will ship
more than 2,000,000 hunting and
fishing licenses to distributors
for fiscal year 1970-71 on Aug.
7, according to C. L. Friou, as-
sistant director of administrative
services for the Department.
The licenses will be mailed to
more than 3,500 license agents
throughout the State, including
most hardware and sporting
goods stores, about half the
State’s county clerks, and all of
the Department’s regional,
district and field offices.
Game management officers
also will receive a minimum sup-
ply . Despite the early distri-
bution, the licenses will not be-
come valid until Sept. 1.
Shrimp fishermen planning ex-
tended cruises may purchase
their licenses before leaving on
trips which might keep them at
sea past the Aug. 31 deadline,
Friou said.
Commercial Gulf shrimp boat
licenses for the new fiscal year
were shipped to the Department’s
12 coastal offices earlier this
year.

licenses for 1970-71 other than
color and dates. However, the

ceremonies at Plymouth, Mas-
sachusetts. It was here the Pil-
grims’ colony was established
December 26,1620.
One hundred and two pas-
sengers made the 81-day cros-
sing. The Mayflower had a length
of 90 feet and a beam of 26.
A passenger, William Brad-
ford, who became the colony’s
second governor, described the
landing:
“Being thus arrived in a good
harbor and brought safe to land,
they fell upon their knees and
blessed the God of heaven, who
had brought them over the vast
and furious ocean, and delivered
them from all the periles and
miseries thereof, againe to set

stable earth, their proper ele-
mente.’’

signed by Mark English of
Georgetown, Connecticut.

town, he picked things up as fast
as the coaches could give it to
him. As a junior last season
Hall lead the team in tackles
(62 tackles and 37 assists).
With all the coaches feeling
Charlie Hall will be a great
player, he has been favorably
compared to former UH and all-
pro linebacker of the Atlanta
Falcons, Greg Brezina.
A sure tackier, Hall was tough
on opposing quarterbacks when
the rush was on. With his cat-
like moves, the blitz Is tailor-
made for the quick senior.
Hall’s great season was cap-

able mention All-America pick.
He was righ behind teammates
Jerry Drones and Glen Lewis

er in the BMebonnet game. Hall
could very well be a consensus

Stainless in the Swim
Nickel stainless steel, because
it resists corrosion, is the pre-
ferred material for swimming
pool equipment and hardware.
Between 1964 and 1969, the
United States use of stainless in
swimming pools doubled from
10 million pounds to 20 million
pounds. By 1974, it should be on
the order of 25 million pounds.

What Is Inner Beauty?
As I passed a barber shop
1 noticed a sign on the door,
“Shine Inside.’’ As I walked
on I began to meditate on the
deeper meaning of these words--
how some people actually do
seem to shine inside. These
people have an inner radiance
that comes through to others.
My meditation continued when
1 found a popular magazine had
asked a number of persons to put
into words what is meant by
inner beauty. There was a wide
range of answers, but three e-
specially impressed me:
A boy named Sandy, four years
of age: “I think when somebody
is beautiful inside they are very
loving-- a very loving person-
and when you meet them you are
glad.’’
Yousuf Karsh, internationally
famous photographer who has
studied the human face in all parts
of the world: .“Man is nothing
but what he makes of himself.
The triumph of the humans spirit
over adversity forges inward
beauty. To reach out and touch
another’s thoughts and feelings;
to penetrate with compassion and
understanding the mask we all
wear so that, suddenly we trust
and reveal ourselves and are not
afraid--who possesses this rare
spiritual magnetism possesses
inward beauty. Such inner sere-
nity shows on the face as an out-
ward radiance, independent of
physical beauty—and yet trans-
figuring it.’’
Dr. Arthur Lee Kinsolving,
distinguished Episcopal clergy-
man of New York City: “Human
personality, like planets, shines
by the reflection of light. One
catches at times, in a flash of
eyes, or a play of expression,
suggestions of the beauty of good-
ness, the warmth of loving kind-
ness, the peace of God. We
humans are essentially spirits,
wearing flesh as a garment.
Through harmony with the source
of light and right, everlasting
beauty finds expression.’’
I closed my meditation by ask-
ing: Whom have you met re-
cently with inner beauty? There
came to mind a nurse I had
seen in action during a terminal
illness, a woman with heavy bur-
dens in her own family who gave
herself with such abandoment and
devotion to the needs of her
patient there was an almost vis-
ible light that shone around her.
