I
Journalism schools teach edi-
tors not to write about their
staff members.
That's as it should be . . .
under normal conditions.
My condition is abnormal...
I have Bill Harper.
Don't get the wrong impres-
sion. Harper is valuable.
He's a prize-winning sports
writer, as well as an effective
fan.
He's also all I have.
♦ * *
Lately, Harper has been an
intramural player-coach.
The "Damn Yankee," as his
closest friends—and bitterest
enemies—know him, plays for
the Heathens.
Harper named the team...
appropriate.
Truthfully the name is some-
what misleading. The team is
exceptional... as far as intra-
mural teams go.
Last week, the Heathens won
their second ball game. They
blanked the Misfits 18-0.
There was something special
about that win. Harper guided
It . . . Just ask him.
Having received a severe leg
bruise in a previous game, Har-
per was sidelined.
That provided him opportun-
ity to display his coaching
prowess.
Demonstrating tactics learned
from years of watching the
Philadelphia Eagles, Harper re-
peatedly offered verbal advise
when it was needled , . . and
yhen it was not needed.
In a cloud of dust, the "Yank"
tromped a ditch down the side-
line, spouting words of grid
wisdom... and oaths.
"Gotta go to the goal line,"
he screamed. "Goal line here.
Here it is. Here."
Helpful?
Essential.
"Get in. Get in. Get in. Get
in.," he continuedi.
Repetitious?
Effective.
But the clincher came when
he released an expression of
disapproval.
"Ohhhhhhh, you — — —>"
he swore.
This barbaric cry was gur-
gled when one of the Heathens'
skilled quarterbacks—Ray Hil-
debrand—had a pass intercept-
ed.
• ♦ •
The preceding description
does not relate anything infor-
mative about Harper.
He is notorious for his ejac-
ulations . . . constant gripes.
Right now he is using his
talent in an effort to sway stu-
dent opinion in an attempt to
receive nomination for "Who's
Who."
He's hoping no one will no-
tice his grade point average.
Harper knows his limitations,
however, and he would settle
for some lesser recognition.
Maybe he cam get his picture
entered into "Who's Who" . . .
in the advertisement section.
Or perhaps someone will begin
something like "What's What,"
Harper could be a "what-not."
Karen. Abdouch had an inter-
esting mental vision. She saw
Harper as Homecoming King.
He would be on a float . ,
wearing his sneakers . . . shorts
. . . and the enevitable—his
nasty, old white hat.
BSU Plans Journey
Students To Leave
For Abilene Today
More than 125 students will
leave the campus this after-
noon at three o'clock en route
to the 1963 Baptist Student
Union Convention to be held
in Abilene today through Sun-
day.
"Freedom Through Bondage"
has been named as the theme
for the two-day meet, according
to Carl Young, Howard Payne
BSU vice president.
"We will leave in a caravan of
cars and should be there in
about an hour and' a half" said
Young. "We have decided to
wait till three in order that
members of the choir will be
able to practice from two until
three."
Included in the group from
the college will be students who
have been selected to represent
the college in the BSU State
Choir.
80-Voice Choir
They are Patricia Owen, Tra-
vis Shelton, Gilbert Hernandez,
Robert S. Allman, and Bill
Agee Represents
HPC At Wayland
Dr. Forrest Agee, academic
dean of Howard Payne College,
represented HPC at the inaug-
uration this past week of the
new president of Wayland Bap-
tist College, Plainview.
The new Wayland president is
Dr. Roy C. McClung, inaugurat-
ed Tuesday in a formal cere-
mony in the First Baptist
Church of Plainview.
Bates. Bates will verve as ac-
companist for the 80-voice state
choir.
While at the convention, the
students will be confronted with
an informative list of speakers
who will give talks in keeping
with the convention's theme, as
well as a description of some
of their experiences within
Christian work.
Heading the agenda will be
J. P. Allen, pastor of Broadway
Baptist Church of Fort Worth;
Kenneth Chafin, professor of
evangelism at Southwestern
Baptist Theological Seminary of
Fort Worth; and William Hall
Preston, Associate Student
Dept., Baptist Sunday School
Board, Nashville, Tenn.
Upon arriving in Abilene, the
students will join approximately
2,000 other students from col-
leges and universities all over
the state. They will meet with
these students in discussion
groups and also in informal
conversation. In this way. the
group hopes to gain ideas for
future planning, insight to what
is being done on other cam-
puses in the area of BSU, and
the assurance that good-will has
been represented by Howard
Payne.
Elect President
In addition, the group will
combine their votes with those
cast by the other groups in
order to elect a student presi-
dent of BSU activities in Texas.
"The First Baptist Church has
located housing in the homes
of its members which will ac-
commodate us while we are in
the city," said Young.
AIN'T THEY SWEET-Living it up during last Friday's "Swing
Along With the Profs" assembly program are, left to right, Mrs.
Elizabeth Boeker, Mrs. William B. Anders and Mrs. Dorothy Jean
Schroeder. The trio brought the house down when they wiggled and
twitched to the beat of an old "Charleston" selection. (Staff photo)
Senators Talk
Representation
"We all have the same idea—
establishing a Student Senate
Which really has effective rep-
resentation of students."
Those are the words of Stu-
dlent Senate President Carroll
Duke, and within them lies the
crux of a lengthy discussion
which, along with other mat-
ters, constituted the longest
Senate meeting of the fall sem-
ester, unraveled in Fleming
Tuesday night.
At the vertex of the state-
ment was a proposal, one of a
series madie by Duke, that he
Anna Chennault To Give
Mims Speech Thursday
Anna Chan Chennault, Chinese
widow of one of America's great
World War II generals, Lt. Gen.
Claire L. Chennault of the Fly-
ing Tigers, will speak on "Free
China, Redl China and the Free
World" Thursday, Oct. 24th, at
8 p.m. in Mims Auditorium.
Tickets for the address, at
50 cents each, are now available
both in Mrs. Schroeder's office
and in the DIA office, room 205
in Walker Memorial Library
from 2 to 5 p.m.
The Legend of Lt. Gen. Claire
Lee Chennault lives on — in the
diminutive person of Anna
ANNA CHAN CHJSNNAULT
... Thursday Speaker
Chennault, the world-famed
Flying Tiger leader's widow, as
militant a fighter against the
communism that strangles her
homeland as her celebrated hus-
band was a champion of demo-
cracy's cause on far-flung bat-
tlefields.
Best Seller
In her touchingly beautiful
and best-selling book, "A
Thousand Springs," Anna Chen-
nault has written of the mar-
riage "made in heaven" between
the slim, young Chinese news-
paper woman and the craggy-
faced American war hero. It
was a marriage that overcame
a mountain of obstacles—thirty
years' difference in their ages,
religious, racial, national and
social differences—and it ended
with the General's tragic death
in 1958.
A legacy of that unique and
too short-lived union 1b Mrs.
Chennault's dedication to an
unceasing battle for freedom's
cause. To this end, she serves
as President of Chinese Refugee
Relief, a private program es-
tablished with President Ken-
nedy's blessing to aid Chinese
refugees in Hong Kong, for
which former Presidents Her-
bert Hoover and Harry S. Tru-
man are serving as honorary co-
chairmen. She is also the Pres-
ident of General Claire Lee
Chennault Foundation, an or-
ganization to bring a closer re-
lationship and understanding
between the East and the West.
Gifted Woman
Anna Chennault is a remark-
ably gifted woman. The first
of her sex to serve as a war
correspondent for China's lar-
gest news agency, she is au-
thor of twelve books published
in China two of which were
best-sellers. "A Thousand
Springs" is her second book
(written in English which she
speaks as well as writes) and
is scheduled to be made into a
major motion picture. She is
presently writing a novel
against the background of World
War II in which her husband's
military exploits will play their
part disguised as fiction. In
addition, working at Georgetown
University, she has produced
two new Chinese dictionaries,
simplifying that complex lan-
guage for machine translation
research.
Despite these intellectual pur-
suits, Mrs. Chennault is femi-
nine enuogh to be a dress de-
signer too.
be allowed to create a form
which will enable students to
express, in words, suggestions
for legislative action.
Rounding out the remainder
of the list in the meeting were
an enactment to require un-
chartered organizations which
get pictorial representation in
the "Lasso," Howard Payne's
yearbook, to purchase space in
the advertisement section, re-
ference of a previously pro-
posed suggestion of a Spring
Vacation to the School Spirit
Committee; and a future ex-
traction of funds from the treas-
ury to pay for the planned
"Dad's Day" football ceremony.
Proposed Form
The form proposed by Duke,
okayed after much discussion,
will allow space for students
to write down proposals for
Senate action on campus needs,
in addition to providing a place
where students making the pro-
posal can enter his name and
classification.
From this form, the proposal
will be given to the Senator
representing the student sub-
mitting the suggestion, and, in
turn, will be brought before the
Senate floor for prompt atten-
tion and discussion.
After consideration of what
had been proposed, Nolan Ken*
nedy the junior class senior
senator introduced a point for
consideration. He said that such
a form would not be profitable
because students do not fully
understand the Senate's func-
tions, much less its authority
to enforce such action. To rem-
edy student ignorance, Kennedy
suggested an assembly program
be planned wherein the Senate
would explain its operation and
powers.
Judicial System
"Another thing," he said*. "One
reason we don't have proper
communication between the
Senate and the students is be-
cause we (the Senate) don't
have effective means of enforc-
ing our legislation." (See Sena-
tors, Page 3).
