IT SEEMS THAT THE BAND has postponed its
scheduled concert from Monday until after the Easter
holidays because the band tour had to be delayed until
then. We regret that the concert has been postponed, be-
cause the HPC Swinging Stingers are such a good band,
and we home-audience folk get to hear the band so seldom
as it is.
We would like to inquire as to the possibilities of hav-
ing more than just one chapel band concert a year. Foot-
ball half-time shows are one thing, and they are quite
good, but to have actual band stage concerts would be
quite attractive on the chapel schedule.
The "Super Sixty-five" are indeed super, if the half-
time shows they did this year are any indication. They
are also quite busy. This week alone, the band has per-
Jfformed at a church service, an evangelistic crusade and
the Texas Baptist Evangelism Conference in Fort Worth.
Last semester, the band played for the entire Baptist
General Convention of Texas, traveled to three away foot-
ball games and made a movie.
They are busy. But. . . .
WITH ALL THAT GOING AND DOING they have
built up some kind of repertoire. Selfish as it may sound,
we would enjoy hearing some of that music played here.
, . . and I also
resolve to . . .
A NEW SEMESTER . . . A NEW YEAH . . . new
courses . . . new almost everything! But what shall we
make of it? Most of us, at one time or another have plead-
ed with the various powers that be for another qhance.
But when we got that chance, what became of it? Nine
times out of ten, we ended up asking for another chance...,
Most of us made "New Year's Resolutions" to make
better grades, to spend less money and then spend it more
wisely, to lose ten to twenty pounds, to write home more
often, to stop teasing our roommates, and so on ad nauseam.
And, typically, most of us will ignore our own resolutions
and continue to live just the way we have been in the
PMlpl,
trait that is not inborn. It must be acquired by "intensive
training and a continual struggle against our own worst
enemies . . . ourselves.
WE NOW HAVE THAT NEW CHANCE to do what
we have vainly promised to accomplish for so long. We
now have the opportunity to make good our promises , to
ourselves. . . . Why not take advantage of the chance be-
fore it, too, is gone?

FOR JUST A MOMENT, it seemed as if someone had seen
me coming. At registration, I mean.
Since school is starting up again, which means my weekly
assignment of this column will be due soon, I was of course
most aware of occurrances surrounding registration Monday
morning. The problems involved in registering 1,300 students
for classes is always rich with material for columns such as this.
And with a new "system" being instituted, I was ready for any
event which would be column-worthy.
Being in the "W" or working category, I was among the
first to register. I began taking mental notes: these little cards
with their funny categories will be noted in print. And, as I
waited in the first floor hall of old Main for 30 minutes for
the tentative schedule line to open up, I knew I was going to
be in for a dandy this semester. Oh, well, all the better for the
column.
Suddenly, it happened. The line opened. I received my
schedule within seconds. I went upstairs for my IBM packet.
A few minutes delay. To the library. Grab those cards, through
the line and out before another half-hour had passed. Amazing.
The new system really works. Then my doubt.
Outside the back door of the library was Don Jackson, who
has a long title now but who still functions to my mind as
registrar. I'll never believe he wasn't waiting for me there.
"How'd it go?" he asked. I told him the truth. Easiest registra-
tion I've ever had. While other students registering later had
it a little bit worse and longer, Jackson still was able to spoil
what would have been a scorching column this week, because,
if nothing else, the new system worked for me,
SIPID'S BELIEVE IT OR ELSE—Johnny Curtis, the high
priest of improbability, claims he knows a person whose name
is spelled correctly on his spring activity card.
IN THE SUB—Seen recently at this Crossroads of the Campus
was another fellow with what must be the 50th moustache I've
seen in two days.
PONDERING PERCY—Now where could I have been when
they passed that law? I mean the one requiring the BSU to can-
cel its Clcudcroft retreat because it snowed? Oh, it all comes
back to me now. It must have been while I was away attend-
ing the convention of Wing Directors Opposed to Having to
Come to Work on Saturday When Everyone Thought Dorms
Wouldn't Open Until Sunday Anyway.

Health Services
To All Students
Many students are in the-
dark about the dispensary
service at Howard Payne..
Someone comes down with a
bad cold and all of a sudden,
he decides it's time to find
out what to do about it but
doesn't know where to turn
for help, short of a doctor's
bill.
The HPC dispensary is lo-
cated behind Veda Hodge fac-
ing Clark Street. The hours
are 8-11 a.m. and 12 noon-2
p.m. on Monday, Wednesday,
and Friday; 9:30-11 a.m. and
12 noon-3 p.m. on Tuesdays
and Thursdays. After these
hours, the nurse, Mrs. Hanna
Lippe, RN, is on call at the
extension 276 in the Dean of
Students' office.
All women students should
notify their dorm directors be-
fore calling the nurse for a
dorm call.
All minor treatment includ-,
ing first aid and injections
can be handled at the dis-
pensary. Transportation will
be provided to and from the
doctor's office if the student
can not provide his own. The
nurse will make an appoint-
ment with a doctor for any
student.
The cost of dispensary serv-
ices will vary according to the
cost of medication and syringes
•for shots, anywhere to $1,2&
on up. Allergy-plagued stu-
dents providing their own
medication, are charged 50
cents for first injection and
25 cents for every additional
injection.
All oral medication for colds
are given to the student free
of charge. These medications
are not usually available over
the drug counter.
The nurse does not give ex-
cuses for classes but she does
urge students who become ill
to seek her assistance as soon:
as possible. Mrs. Lippe says
the earlier something is treat-
ed the easier it can be hand-
led and will probably prove
to be less costly. <
