Looking
Backward
By ANNE LIEBERMAN
The Arizona University students who “bor-
rowed” the chrome-plated shovel, which is
a traveling trophy that goes to the winner
of the TWC-New Mexico State football game,
sure fooled members of the Student Coun-
cil. To them, it looked like a high school stu-
dent’s prank.
Arizona did send the shovel back—C.O.D.
—with it came a letter from the traditions
president. The letter stated, “we now know
some of the Do’s and Dont’s for conduction
of a trip.”
We hope “don’t borrow” is one of the things
they learned.
As a colorful football season ends several
groups should be complimented for their
contributions:
The Miner team which fought hard,
The cheerleaders who try their best to get
the student body to yell,
The band which helped boost spirit by pre-
game and half-time performances and by
playing peppy songs during dull moments of
the game,
Everybody’s favorite, the Golddiggers,
Sardonyx which organized and managed
the card section,
All fraternities for signs on the mountains
which added a distinctive note to the setting,
Lambda Chi Alpha for the fireworks shot
off before the game and after touchdowns,
ROTC cadets for the impressive flag raising
ceremonies,
Phrateres for giving out Pop Bags.
These groups added a lot to making the
games exciting. It goes to show what cooper-
ation can do.
(Author of "I Was a Teen-age Dwarf", "The Many
Loves of Dobie Gillis”, etc.)
Two of Texas Western’s football rivals
have accepted bids to play in the annual Sun
Bowl game on New Year’s Eve. Both teams,
Utah State and New Mexico State, beat TWC
this year.
Naturally we wish the Miners had won the
games and would be playing in Sun Bowl.
However, these two teams should put on a
good show and should attract a large crowd.
If the Sun Bowl needs a larger stadium, as
its backers say, this game should prove it.

‘THE INTELLIGENCE QUOTIENT OF
NED FUTTY"
Chloe McFeeters was a beautiful coed who majored in psychol-
ogy and worked in the I.Q. testing department of the University.
She worked there because she loved and admired intelligence
above all things. “I love and admire intelligence above all things”
is the way she put it.
Ned Futty, on the other hand, was a man who could take
intelligence or leave it alone. What he loved and admired above
all things was girls. “What I love and admire above all things
is girls” is the way he put it.
One day Ned saw Chloe on campus and was instantly smitten.
“Excuse me, miss,” he said, tugging at his forelock. “Will you
marry me?”
She looked at his duck-tail haircut, his black-rimmed glasses,
his two-day beard, his grimy T-shirt, his tattered jeans, his de-
composing tennis shoes. “You are not unattractive,” she ad-
mitted, “but for me beauty is not enough. Intelligence is what
I’m looking for. Come to the I.Q. testing department with me."

Miner Activities
By JOHN FITCH
The grand tour of the American Smelting
and Refining Co. was provided recently for
starry-eyed Student Council members and
some Prospector and El Burro staffers by of-
ficials of the Smelter.
The Smelter, you know, is that industry
near TWC that has those smokestacks with
the yellowish stuff pouring out. That yellow-
ish stuff pours out in this direction some-
times, and the Smelter men wanted to ex-
plain why it does and what it does.
At a luncheon at the Desert Hills the Smel-
ter folks gave much the same defense for
their sulphur dioxide as you probably have
already read in the papers. The gist of their
side of the picture is that they try to get rid
of the fumes, sometimes they can’t, the fumes
admittedly bother people, and they’re sorry
for that.
The Smelter’s doctor said that the sulphur
dioxide fumes were not potentially injurious
to health.
But an El Paso doctor who ought to know
said they are.
Which expert can you believe? You pays
your money and you takes your choice. Or
you can follow your nose. And it is apt to
be sniffing Smelter fumes.
Throughout their explanations the Smel-
ter men displayed a one-sided opinion toward
the press which I found insulting to some
honest City and student newspapermen and
to some editorial writers who were sick of
not being able to take a deep breath without
coughing and not being able to see the El
Paso skyline from half a mile away.
The general inference was that “some pub-
lications” had made the Smelter people seem
like ogres who were trying to wipe out the
population. Smelter spokesmen gave the im-
pression that these publications had never
printed the “true facts,” i. e., the Smelter’s

The formal inauguration of Dr. Joseph M.
Ray as president of Texas Western College
is scheduled Friday.
Although his inauguration is just now com-
ing up, Dr. Ray has already proved himself
to be an enthusiastic and capable top execu-
tive of the College through his work this se-
mester.
Dr. Ray arrived at TWC during a time of
great growth in the student body, physical
plant and quality of curriculum. It appears
that Dr. Ray will be well able to help fur-
ther this College expansion.
We’re glad you’re here, Dr. Ray. Good
luck.

“Of course, my tiger,” cried Ned and giggled and smote his
thigh and bit Chloe’s nape and scampered goatlike after her
to the I.Q. testing department.
“First, I will test your vocabulary,” said Chloe.
“Be my guest,” laughed Ned and licked her palm.
“What does juxtaposition mean?”
“Beats me,” he confessed cheerfully and nibbled her knuckles.
“How about ineffable?”
“Never heard of it,” guffawed Ned, plunging his face into
her clavicle.
“Furtive?”
“With fur on?” said Ned doubtfully.
“Oh, Ned Futty,” said Chloe, “you are dumb. Consequently
I cannot be your girl because I love and admire intelligence
above all things.”
He flung himself on the floor and clasped her ankles. “But I
love you,” he cried in anguish. “Do not send me from you or
you will make the world a sunless place, full of dim and
fearful shapes.”
“Go,” she said coldly.
Lorn and mute, he made his painful way to the door. There
he stopped and lit a cigarette. Then he opened the door and
started away to his gray and grisly future.
“Stay!” called Chloe.
He turned.
“Was that,” she asked, “a Marlboro you just lit?”
“Yes,” he said.
“Then come to me and be my love,” cried Chloe joyously.
“You are not dumb. You are smart! Anybody is smart to smoke
Marlboro, the filter cigarette with the unfiltered taste which
comes to you in soft pack or flip-top box at prices all can afford
at tobacco counters, drugstores, groceries, restaurants and
trampoline courts all over America. Ned, lover, give me a
Marlboro and marry me.”
And they smoked happily ever after.
