Last week the 1952-53 'Brand made its. official debut
in campus circles.
"We got a few comments on our efforts but just a few.
Now this is a student newspaper. We get reminded of that
practically- every hpur on the hour. But -as a student news-
paper it is supposed to reflect to a good degree your opin-
ions and your ideas. If it doesn't then let us know about
it. Being hard headed we may not agree with you any more
than you agree with us but we will give you a fair chance
in print with your idear-in a letter to the editor. .t . . .
The letters must be signed as we stopped playing
gucssing games with unsigned letters years ago. Besidesj it
wouldn't be fair for you to get in a lick anonymously when
we havp to .take the blame for the Brand. in persouv each
week. .'..." ' ' '' . '''.
Anyway let's keep this a student publication in the true
sense of the word. Let us hear from you sometime. Inciden-
tally if we are doing a good job according to you we'd
appreciate hearing about that too. We aro open always for
corrections and criticism believe it or not.
And to get in another lick for the cause of the Brand
please don 't blame us entirely "if some phases of student life
get more publiicty than others. On a nwespaper copy is copy
to the tenth power and news in hand we run sometimes
whether it deserves if or not. So if you want something in
the Brand get it to us and don't be coy about it.

After listening to the rain on the roof of GI Hall Tues-
day night we all but had paper in typewriter to write an
editorial bewailing the fate of the All-University reception
scheduled for that night.
But fortunately we were wrong in fearing that the
reception would be dampened by rain. In fact the West
Texans happy to see water again on their land came in
large numbers. Long lines of students came and went and
a long line of faculty members stood patiently for the two
hours to receive them.
The faculty response to the reception and the rain was
matched by the students who braved the elements and both
groups seemed to have a rather good time together after
all.
Which may go to prove that rain far from ruining
social events in this part of the country can make a sizeable
contribution to their Success. Anyway we were suddenly
proud of the faculty and the student body Tuesday night
and we don't think it was entirely the fault of the rain.

fyafyic Piablem
Early morning drivers on the H-SU Campus have been
having difficulty making it around the circle in front of the
student center. With no convenient parking space automo-
bile owners line their cars around the curb while they get
an early cup of coffee.
Parking single file leaves passage but when the com-
mercial delivery trucks bring supplies to the snack bar
there is no place for them to park except in the middle of
the street.
The number of automobiles on the campus has greatly
increased this year causing considerable more traffic.
When the trucks block the street long lines of cars pile up
often at 8 a. m. class time.
There can obviously be no ban on automobiles to re-
lieve the situation. But if a rear entrance to the snack bar
was provided for the trucks a through lane could be main-
tained and one of H-SU's main traffic problems relieved.

It was nice to have a home
football gome to start the year
off with even if the game's score
'and the weather weren't to every-
one's liking at all.
Still a home game is a home
game even when H-SU loses and
the weather acts more like July
than almost October. The game
looked a little like homecoming
for awhile though with all the
ex-students there mostly '62 sen-
iors. Some of the exes and grad-
uates though not all of them
were Pat Hicks Jack Tid-
well and Lewis Stephens all
law students at Texas Univer-
sity; Joan Crawford now
working in Lubbock on a news-
paper naturally; Bill McCord
' who according to reliable
sources is in dental school in
Dallas; Joyce Harvey now
a teacher in Odessa; Mina
Matthews who is teaching in
Snyder; Mr. and Mrs. Clinton
Watson (she was Edith Wil-
son) who are living in Fort
Worth now while he is in
the seminary; and Beverly
Geisendorff who is also in
the seminary.
Don't know where they've been
but J. Forrest Posey Joyce Sides
Gale Bowen Jerre Collier Mildred
Rogge Martha Arnold Pat Fu-
qua Paula Windham and Don
Yarborough were also at the
game.
There are still chuckles around
the forty acres over the freshman
member of the Cowboy Band who
stood up suddenly in the third quarr
ter of Saturday's game and yell-
ed "Fight furiously fellows"!
Fast on the heel sof the Saturday
heat came the first cool wind of
the fall and tnen rain. We hear
that in high schools in the area an-
nouncements were made to the
freshmen concerning the nature of
the stuff that was falling outside
but on the forty acres the fresh-
men seemed to remember rain to
some extent.
Dripping rain coats were
stardard equipment at the all-
university reception at Hun-
ter Hall Tuesday night as the
affair went on as usual in
spite of the rain. One question
of etiquette involving the re-
ception please. How were
those cocoanut and sticky
frosting cake squares suppos-
ed to have been eaten? They
were good if you could get a
hand hold in them. One solu-
tion heard use them unex-
pectedly in a snow ball fight.
But who has snow this time
of year?
Betty Barker the Corral editor
finally got into the Corral office
this week and was last seen with
a broom in her hand headed to-
ward said office. She seems to
have gone through a box full of.
miscellaneous keys until she found
one to do the job on the Corral
door.
There was an interested group
in GI Hall at times this week who
were doing a little remembering
about a fellow named Johnny
Standley who appeared on the
forty acres with the Horace Heidt
show last year. What made Stand-
ley memorable to his H-SU aud-
ience was his "It's In the Book"
oration in the style of a pulpit-
poUnding evengelist.
The remembering this week
was being done with the play-
ing of the. recording of Stand-
1 ley's number which is based
on. the nursery rhyme "Little
Bo-Peep." And his take-off on
the brush arbor singer in a
ditty about Grandma's lye
soap is still good though not
based on such a text
.A younger brother took over
this week a job that big brother
did two years ago. Ed Tapscott
junior was named editor of the

dent diretcory and guide for mis-

Two freshman Cowboy bands-
men who were high school drum
majors will join sophomore Naomi
Zarbock who was featured soloist
with the band last year in a
baton twirling trio. They will
make their initial public appear-
ance as a unit at the Tulsa game
Saturday night.
The boys are Jerry Massey from
Wichita Falls and Jackie Gilbert
of Memphis while Miss Zarbock
hails from Wheaton 111.
For the past several weeks the
trio has been practicing regularly
in order to perfect the routine for
its first performance. The routine
they have worked out is quite
flashy and contains many intri-
cate rolls and tosses that are dif-
ficult to execute in unioson. For
an act of this sort to be a success
each member must have a lot of in-
dividual ability as well as the will-
ingness to work with his team-
mates the three have decided.
Second In History
This newly-organized trio is
the second in the history of the
Cowboy Band but nevertheless is
unusual and spectacular in its
own right. Such manuevers as their
routine contains are not often
worked out in group form.
Massey new drum major for
the band served as drum major
at Wichita Falls Senior High for
three years. He received many
honors in high school including
first place ratings for his twir-
ling. In 1951 he was state high
school baton champion and was
listed in "Who's Who in Baton
Twirling." He is also a member in
National Baton Twirling Associa-
tion. Neither is Massey limited to
twirling or playing in the band
but he also was in Wichita Falls
High School a cappella choir the
all-state high school chorus and
served as church organist.' He has
also taught twirling clinics in
Texas and Arkansas.
From Twirling Family
Miss Zarbock who i3 the fem-
inine element in the trio comes
from a family of twirlers and it is
only natural that she should excel
in her art. Her record includes
national VFW champion of '60
winnings in St. Paul Winter Car-
nival Chicagoland Music Festival
South Milwaukee contest and East
Meets West National contest.
Jackie Gilbert the third mem-
ber of the trio also received many
first place ratings in Texas In-
tercholastic League competition
during his career as drum major
in high school. He coached the
Memphis twirlers in a seven piece
ensemble and led them to a first
place rating as well While in
high school he played cornet bari-
tone and drums.
For the past two summers Gil-
bert has attended the twirling
school held at Huntsvile. And
tooi he has taught twirling classes
of his own.
In Orange Bowl
Last Christmas Gilbert parti-
cipated in the annual Baton Twir
lers' Festival in tho Orange Bowl
Miami Flo.- He was chosen from a
group of over 300 twirlers and
drum majors to serve as drum
major for the group in the Orange
Bowl Festival parade.
Although he copped many hon-
ors in music and twirling Gilbert
too has interests in other fields.
He won awards and held offices in
various dramatic organizations
was senior class salutatorian rank-
ed in high school Who's Who and
served on the district student
council.
145 Freshmen Take
First Library Tour
About 145 freshmen were given
an inside yiew of the H-SU Library
Monday on a special tour con-
ducted by the student council lib-
rary committee.
Miss Thelma Andrews librarian
reported that the members at-
tending far exceeded her expecta-
tions. Students were conducted through
both floors of the library and given
instructions . on the use of the
various indexes and references.
Ed Tapscott chairman of the
committee reported that another
tour might be held in the near
future for those freshmen who
failed to participate in the Mon-
day tour.
Purpose of the committee which
was set up by the council last
year is to represent the student
body on the library staff giving
student opinion and suggestions
for the library operation.
Miss Andrews expressed satis-
faction with the committee's work
to date. "The committee has been
of great help in educating the
student body on use of the library.
In the future we plan to co-
ordinate our publicity work
through the committee" se said.
