Sports Editor —
I would like to congratulate
all the women who received a-
wards during the Honors Night
held by AWS earlier this week.
I have card the ideas for sev-
veral of the skits which will be
presented at the Variety Show
Tuesday night in Magoffin Au-
ditorium.
From the sounds of them, the
whole evening should be a riot. I
hope all of you will come out to
see it.

Well, another Religious Emphasis Week has been
completed on the TWC Campus.
Again this year, very few people attended any of the
lectures even though classes were dismissed.
But, at least the managers of the sack bar and
pool room show a nice profit from Religious Emphasis
v week.
Orlando Garza is the new Student Associa-
tion president. Forrest Wylie was elected
vice-president; Jim Matlock, Arts and Sci-
ences representative; Honey Dennehy, treas-
urer; Esther Lynch, independent represen-
tative; Bonnie Toman, Martha Lou Florence,
Brenda Grose and Eugenia Niehaus, cheer-

Looking
Backward
By ANDREW GORALE
March 28, 1953
Let’s Change
Religious Week
At the first lecture in the Religious Empha-
sis Week series last week there were an esti-
mated 250 people.
This, just the same as last year, is less than
10 per cent of the total number of people who
were let out of classes to attend the lectures.
Every year students and teachers complain
that the time spent out of class for this func-
tion is completely wasted. Someone always
complains that he has paid for the class that
he is signed up for, and for that reason he
feels that he should not be forced to miss a
class because of a religious lecture.
About the only people who are helped by
classes being let out for these lectures are the
people who run the snack bar and the pool
hall. As it usually turns out, the only ones
who attend the lectures are those who really
don’t need a religious talk anyway.
The rest of the students crowd into the SUB
and make it impossible for anyone to hear
himself think. Some people use these particu-
lar times to spend an hour studying before
going to class. With all the classes dismissed,
it was impossible to get any studying done.
Some of these points may seem trivial, but
they have all been voiced by more than one
unhappy student.
There has even been some question as to
the legality of Religious Emphasis Week.
Some say that it is illegal to present any kind
of religious program during school hours on
a State-supported campus. We do not agree
with this idea. It would only be illegal if stu-
dents were. Speaking of occupational worry,
few of the students, and since there are so
made to attend the lectures.
Since these lectures are attended by so
many complaints about the whole idea, we
would like to see the lecture series either
changed to satisfy more people, or dropped
altogether.
Thanks,
Exes
We would like to thank the people who
have started the Alumni Fund for Excellence
for Texas Western. This fund will be used
for many different improvements at TWC.
The Library will be one of the big benefac-
tors of the fund. Some of the money will also
be used to hire “outstanding teachers and to
hold on to the College’s best.” Scholarship
funds will be supplemented and started with
money from the fund.
Richard White is the chairman of the drive
and Ben Boykin, Brooks Travis, John Phelan
and Jack Vowell Jr. are assisting him. Every
student should be proud to be going to a
school where the ex-students care enough to
work hard to improve the College.
If this fund is a success, TWC will be able
to do a lot of improving that might otherwise
take many years to accomplish or might never
get done.
We feel that we are very lucky to have
exes who are willing to spend their time and
effort for the improvement of our school. We
hope that we will always have ex-students
who have a live interest in Texas Western as
these do.

It looks like both political
parties are getting ready for the
elections which come up in
April.
The Greeks are trying to get
back into power, and the Inde-
pendents are trying everything
to keep themselves in office.
It seems a shame that we can’t
have two parties on campus
which would be rated solely for
their platforms instead of for
their affiliation, or non-affilia-
tion, with certain groups.

Happy Sandstorm Season.
Cheer up, Coeds. While we’re fighting san-
dy headwinds to get to class, work is pro-
gressing on Hawthorne House, the new off-
campus dorm for women. From the brochure
about Hawthorne House, it promises to be a
dream dorm, making the present ones look
like the orphanage in “Oliver Twist.”
Contrary to original plans, the new dorm
will not be coed. This makes it less interest-
ing but easier for the deans’ occupational
worry.
The Prospector received comments this
a negative one. The comments pointed out the
picture of the ill-attended bonfire, the stories
on the Library thefts, the parking violations,
the debate team and the two negative edi-
torials.
The issue was not planned that way—that
was simply a negative week. Unfortunately,
the “bad” aspects of TWC are also news-
worthy, and not printing them will not make
them go away.
We don’t take nasty pills, but neither are
we Pollyannas. By printing the theft story
and the parking violation story, for example,
we may attract the attention of students who
will work to correct such situations.

The Engineers will shave
their beards tonight during the
Hard Luck Dance in the SUB
Ballroom.
It will take a couple of weeks
for the Fuzzy-faces’ girl friends
to get used to them without
whiskers, but then things will
be back to normal.
I went down with a Sociolo-
gy class to watch the El Paso
Juvenile Court in action last
week.
It was very interesting to see
how the Judge tried not just
to punish the offenders, but
tried to find a solution which
would help the boys instead of
turn them even more against
the law.
I never realized that there
were people working so hard
to help kids in El Paso.
