Today will show theresults4of all the'.'planning. and
work that the student body "lias put into Homecoming this
year in order to increase student and ex-student interest in
the annual affair.
But we hope that the flurry of preparation and planning
hasn't robbed our campusof one of its most priceless at-
tributes a rieal welcome with genuine friendliness to
back it up.
Ex-students are coming back to the campus today who
have been away from the forty acres. One of the things
tthey will miss most if it-is missing is that friendliness that
has been part of Hardin-Simons since its beginning.
So keep up the good work of planning and arranging
for a technically successful Homecoming but remember
that it must be a warm friendly-Homecoming too.

The election of Homecoming Sweetheart brought up
a situation whichproved to be rather embarrassing for both
the student body the Student Council in particular and the
Cowgirls.
The plans for the Homecoming activities were built
largely around the 13 candidates for Homecoming Sweet-
heart. The 13 were in the original"plans going to be featur-
ed on floats or at least were to ride in convertibles and to be
presented at half-time too.
This raised a protest from the Cowgirls because eight of
those 12 candidates are Cowgirls. The absence of those eight
from the Cowgirl marching ranks seemed to be too much tot
ask of the organization.
A compromise was finally struck the 13 candidates
were featured in the parade but only the top four will be
presented at half-time Saturday.
We can understand both points of view. The Cowgirls
undoubtedly want to look their best during the half-time
performance and having eight girls out of ranks would be
hard to overcome. We also see the point of the Council which
was to get all possible recognition for all the girls who were
nominated not just those who got the most votes in the first
election.
All we can hope is that before another Homecoming
Sweetheart is elected that the Cowgirls either get reconciled
to marching with depleted ranks or tha't the Council gives
up on having any -recognition for the Sweetheart nominees.

The time is ripe we think for definite steps to be taken
toward rewriting or at least extensively revising the con-
stitution under which the student body carries on its govern-
ment and business.
Fundamentally the constitution may still be sound but
numerous amendments and addendum have made -it cum-
bersome and sometimes impotent in important matters.
And the fact remains that if student life on our campus is
to grow there must be a corresponding growth in the instru-
ment of 'carrying on its affairs.
The election system is one of the most pressing items
of the present constitution which needs drastic revision
soon. The method of nomination has become almost farcial.
The process of balloting i3 juvenile and makes it murder-
ously hard to get an accurate vote count as was well illus-
trated by the Sweetheart election this week.
The favorite selection' the duties of the Inter-Club
Council the Intramural Council the cheerleader selection
the powers of the Student Council itself could stand con-
siderable clarification and restating.
That constitution as it now stands seems to be more of
a stumbling block than a stepping stone to fetter more
co-ordinated action on the part of the student body. In the
interest of better citizenship and better government; let's
get something done about it soon.

It's been a busy week on the
forty acres. There has been some-
thing planned vfor every day in
the way of preparation for Home-
coming. Pep rallies each day kept the
campus spirit at a new high. The
all-girl football game was really
an important factor in creating
more 'student interest- and we
must say we haven't seen much
better sports than the football
team members Ogden Compton
J. C. Collins Sherry Nail Rod
Williams and Windy Smith who
we're cheerleaders for the bruis-
ing affair.
Of course the girls were pretty
sporting about it all too risking
life and limb to really give the
game a scientific handling from
the feminine point of view. And
there were many sore muscles
and aching bruises to reward
them for their trouble.
And there wore floats to
work on for the parade and
signs to paint and ihe cam-
pus to guard against invasion
from the north. On ihe sub-
ject of floats iho senior
class was discussiing the pos-
sibility of building one. Class
president Joe Wallis was ap-
pointing a committee to
study the plans and he asked
Weldon Boggus "Can you
push this thing" meaning the
plans to competition. But
Boggus took him literally and
replied that he wasn't about
to push a float even for the
senior class!
' Ferguson Hall men were busy
building a model of the building
which was furnished complete
with boys throwing firecrackers
at each other for the parade.
Los Rancheros the Spanish
club had a float complete with a
torrero a bullfighter to the
Americanos and a black calf
complete with long artificial
horns. The calf was supposed to
represent the new black bull
mascot of the Tech Red Raiders.
The. Sweetheart election
brought considerable excitement
;to the political scene around the
campus. The first election may
not have been too lucky for some
possible explanation there
were 13 girls in the race.
The Corral convertible go-
ing back briefly to ihe par-
ade was placed 13th in ihe
line of floats and cars. Robert
Walker chairman of the par-
ade arrangements asked
Betty Barker Corral editor if
she were superstitious about
such things. She said she
wasn't and the Corral did
hold down number 13 in ihe
parade.
In addition io all the campus
doings we had visitors out of the
ceiling in GI Hall. It is quite
disturbing to find people falling
out of the ventilation shafts in
the ceiling. But that's what's been
happening during repairs in the
radio department. Wiring re-
pairs have had to be made in the.
attic of GI Hall and it seems that
the Brand office is the quickest
way up or down. Anyway we
jhope it will soon be over.
After Saturday this week is
finally going to be over and we
feel like a senior did who said
he was going to bed Saturday
night and not set his alarm and
it wouldn't matter to him if he
didn't wake until Monday morn-
ing. It's really been fun though
an spite of all the things to do.
Final ramblings: the military
band went marching clear around
the circle of the campus Tues-
day afternoon during drill. They
had cars stacked up for consider-
able distance behind them and
one time even picked up a bus to
add to the collection. The 'motor-
ists really didn't seem to mind
the delay too much as the band
was entertaining them with
marches all during the time.

HIGH STEPPING ROPE ARTIST with the Cowboy Band is Delton
Galloway Peacock senior who has also been featured with the
band as the owner and trainer of Prince a trained horse. Galloway
who is recognized in professional circles as a horso trainer began
studying ropo twirling about a year and a half ago. After his gradua-
tion he and Prince hope to go into show business with their com-
bination act in the meantime operating a western tailor and saddle
shop. Galloway "makes all his own uniforms and has also made tho
special saddle and all the gear for Prince.

JiallUta Reputation
Delton Galloway for the last
two years has been known around
the forty .acres chiefly as the
owner and trainer of Prince a
ftrained horse which performs
with the Cowboy Band. But Gal-
loway is getting a reputation all
his own now.
This fall Galloway is featured
rope twirling artist wtih the
band. In spite of the fact that Gal-
loway used to be associated so
cldsely with his sorrel partner
that many students called him
Prince Galloway hopes to get
"Prince back into the act soon.
Galloway is hoping to combine
his rope twirling and his act with
Prince and thus keep up the as-
sociation they have had for five
years.
He has been studying rope
twirling only about a year and
a half mostly by self-instruction.
Then this fall he began a serious
study of the art of handling a
rope under the tutlege of Rex
Felker of Haskell. Felker is a
former rope artist with the Cow-
boy Band.
First Public Appearance
The first public appearance
for the liorse-trainer-turned-rope-twirler
was in Wichita Falls at
the Midwestern game. Since then
he has been featured at a service
football game in San Angelo and
at a benefit show in Holliday.
Though still busy with his own
study of twirling he helped the
new Cowgirls with unison rope
twirling routines at the beginning
of the semester.
He has been working more and
more difficult loops 'and jumps
into his act since he first got it
together this summer. He still
.feels that he hasn't had enough
training and experience to be a
solo performer. That is one rea-
son why he is trying to get Prince
back into the act.
Prince is still an important part
of Galloway's life. They have
been together for 12 years ever
since Prince was? born on the
Galloway ranch near Peacock.
They began performing together
during Galloway's high school
days. Nothing really big "but we
were always in every parade" he
explains.
Came As Drummer
When Galloway came to H-SU
he wasn't lured here by tKe pros-
pects of being a featured perfor-i
mer with the band. He was just
interested in playing the drums
which he still does with tho
marching and the. concert band."
In fact Marion B. McClure direc
tor of the band didn't even find
out that the quiet freshman drum-
mer had a trained dancing horse
until that first year was almost
over.
That incidentally was the only
year that Galloway and Prince
have been apart but Prince came
to Abilene the next "year and
began his career with the band
along with his master. When the
band travels and Prince goes
along he usually travels with the
six white horses. This year the
band seems to think it will be
easier to carry Galloway's ropes
than Galloway's horse so Prince
won't be doing any traveling.
After graduation Galloway a'
business administration major
and Prince plan to go into show
business with their acts. Galloway
plans to work out a stage act soon
for the two of them. He says He
thinks he and Prince can do it if
Roy Rogers and Trigger can! .
Post-College Plans
Another part of those post-college
plans for Galloway is a wes-
tern tailoring and saddle shop.
He makes all his own western
uniforms for his acts and he also
made the uniforms for the two
male members of the twirling trio
this year Jerry Massey and
Jacky Gilbert.
He began making western
clothes back in high school. He
remembers that he wanted a wes-
tern shirt and his mother didn't
have time to make it so Gallo-
way just made it himself and he's
been doing the making for him-
self and others ever since.
And in addition to his work
with western clothes Galloway
does quite a bit of plain and
fancy leather work. He made the
saddle and all the gear for Prince
and finds time to do some com-
mercial tooling.
