And
Imagine yourself walk-
ing down a busy street in
Juarez, Mexico. Suddenly,
your feet ache and your
throat screams for a drink
of water. ~
Gazing around, your
eyes catch a glimpse of a
red building on the corner
which appears to be a res-
taurant. Approaching the ;
door, music begins to fill
the air with a familiar Amer-
ican tune. Through " the
dimly lit room you are us-
hered to a group of tables
surrounding a stage.
As the waiter ap-
proaches, a black curtain
waves slightly and the
bikini-clad figure of a wo-
man wiggles into view.
Without warning, the
top of her bikini slinks to
the floor. Slightly grossed
out, you shuffle uncomfort-
ably in your chair. Nervous-
ly, you reach for your drink

you'd ordered Tequila) as
the cloth fades away and
nothing remains except the
over-etuffed carcass of a
fat sefforita.
Unbelieveable-you say?
Just ask any of the six
students or two sponsors
who , attended the 1970 Tex-
as Intercollegiate Press
Association convention,
April 2-5 in El Paso, Texas.
They believe it!

Another Kind of Dancing
The convention began
after the TSC delegates
arrived in El Paso shortly
after noon on April 2. A
concert scheduled with
■ Janis Joplin was cancelled
that same evening because
the recording star was roam-
ing around somewhere in
Africa 'trying to find her-
self..'-
However,. all was not
lost. The Sheraton Motor
' Inn-where the majority of
the TIPA delegates stayed-
saved the evening with
free booze and a swinging
dance and light show fea-
turing Rod Crosby and the
Intruders.
, The morning of April 3
found the Tarleton J-TAC
and Grassburr representa-
tives attending workshops
which were directed by ex-
perts in-the fields of editor-
ial writing, advertising,
photography, magazine pro-
duction and associated
press wire service.

delegates from over 20 Tex-
as colleges and univer-
sities on a scenic tour.
Visits were made to beau-
tiful cathedrals, glass-
blowing factories, pottery
shops and the market place.
At this point, the TSC
delegates and sponsors
left the tour group and re-
mained longer in Juarez to"
shop. Finally, after an after-
noon of shopping and sight-
seeing, the group boarded'
taxis for a return trip to the -
Sheraton in El Paso.
Following a free meal,
the group was hosted to a
dance by the 'Magic Power-
house.' Strobe lights kept
rythm to the heavy bejit.
Saturday morning dawn-
ed with eight very sleepy
TSC delegates. Once again
workshops were held at
UTEP.
Prizes, Dogs, and Home
After the meeting, the
group slid through,, one and
a half hours of free time. At
5:00, an awards ■ banquet
was held in the ballroom of

ough to become the proud
owner nf a marionette.
Following the banquet,
buses were once again
taken into Juarez. During
this trip, the delegates
spent an evening at the
Juarez Race Track and
Jockey Club.
