Is it a fact that a student does not have to pay back the loan
given to him for a college education? B.D.
It is not a fact. The four major types of loans for students
require repayment. A National Defense loan must be paid back
on a monthly basis after a student graduates. The Hinson-Ha-
zlewood College Student Loan Act, formerly called the Texas
Opportunity Plan, allows a student to rzay his loan within five
years, payments must start four months after the student grad-
uates or quits school, and must amount to at least $15 a month.
The Federally Insured Loan Program is set up on the same re-
payment basis as the Hinson-Hazlewood Loan. Last is the Short
Term loan which must be repaid during the semester on a monthly
basis.
Why do the campus patrolmen wear guns? A.T.
As a result of the mass killing committed by Charles Whit-
man at the University of Texas, Senate Bill 162 was passed.
This bill made campus patrolmen regular peace officers, which
gives them the right to bear arms. The final decision does how-
ever rest with the administration. The purpose of Lamar’s of-
ficer’s pistols is to protect the students and the officer. It is
for the safety of the student that guns are worn.
What is the ratio of boys to girls at Lamar this fall? B.C.

When will Georgia Street repaired? J.B.C.
A hot oil and shell mix will soon be applied to the street,
according to Harvey Trahan, superintendent of streets. Several
streets, around Lamar, are scheduled for removal, due to the
fact that the College is expanding. This is why some streets
receive only a minimum of repair.
What is the delay on opening the new women’s gym? B.D.
Because of labor disputes and other internal problems the
contractor got behind in his schedule. The completion of the new
women’s gym was to be in the later

pennies would equal $844.80;

and all organizations are urged

varied money raising projects

use their ingenuity in raising the
money,* stated Wayne.

better world. It can develop out-
standing people who worthily con-
tribute to bettering their society.
It can teach young people to work
together as a team now so that
they may practice co-operation at
crucial times as adults.
Yes, Fraternity can be this and
much more that is good. However,
it can also be viewed from an-
other perspective.
Perhaps one could view Greek
life as establishing a facetious
identity and a loss of individual-
ism. Some believe that the fra-
ternity-sorority system empha-
sizes unimportant aspects of life.
Pledgeship has been called a de-
gradation of human charac-
ter. Perhaps fraternity can be
viewed as a “buying” of social
life, friendship and opportunism.
Fraternity can be considered
as a structure promoting social
class and even racism in its
selectivity and operations.
It could be called conservative
and accused of attempting to pre-
serve the status quo. As such,
it might foster more misunder-
standing than brotherhood in an
already complex world.
In the final analysis, fratern-
ity is what its members make
it. What does Lamar choose to
make it?

shaping studies; we are impotent.
Classes like philosophy save
Lamar from being essentially a
personnel factory feeding indus-
tries in the Beaumont area. They
constitute a bridge between the
technological and liberal arts de-
partments. Philosophy is not
required; it is not an easy elect-
ive. Therefore, the number of
students taking philosophy does
not equal the number in English
or math classes. Philosophy is
merely an opportunity not a
seldge hammer.
Lamar talks of becoming a
university while systematically
stripping itself of studies and
individuals who practice the de-
mocratic arts of dissent and con-'
structive criticism. It is true
that no system can stop a stu-
dent who desires to learn, but
surely that system cannot hon-
orably claim credit for providing
more than limited opportunities
or truly teaching.
