Communication Problem
There's a real communication problem
on the Hardin-Simmons campus. The gene-
ration gap has not escaped us and a solu-
tion for the dilemma seems out of reach.
New York San Francisco and a great
number of other large cities have seen their
campuses go up in smoke. Dean's offices
have been sacked and administration build-
ings all but demolished.
H-SU is falling behind other schools
and the blame goes wholly to the admin-
istration here. Honestly how can anyone
force their way into the administrative
building? It is extremely difficult to force
one's way through an open door.
How can the biggies on campus continue
to listen to the student voice? Don't they
realize that students must be ignored to be
heard? Who gets a kick out of protesting
something when the administration will
openly listen to the protest and seriously
consider the desired changes?
The vice-president for academic affairs
could have been the solution to the stu-
dents' woes. His large campus experience
could have closed the doors and ears of the
powers that be. Does he come to H-SU
and ignore the students?
No! Instead he moves into a corner of
fice plants a welcome mat then has the
audacity to extend an open door policy.
One just can't fight that kind of strategy.
Other schools get to call in the National
Guard. H-SU can't even rile tne campus
cop. The forty acres is losing the respect
of every pro student in the nation.
Near-sighted grandmothers have little if
any difficulty in separating the men from
the women on campus. Again the problem
lies with the "admin folks." If they would
let students lose pride for this campus and
its personnel personal appearance and
grooming habits could hit a modern low.
(Tell that to the average roommate.)
It is impossible for H-SU to take its place
in the dominate world of campus strife as
long as the administrative people continue
to listen to and care about the students.
Maybe someday those big campus policy
makers will do an about face and make
things tough on their students. When that
day comes Hardin-Simmons will no doubt
gain national recognition.
In the meantime H-SU students must
be willing to go unnoticed and be content
to attend school for an education.
Should anyone have a suggestion to
change the situation call ext. 211 and ask
for Elwin. Larry Baker.
The Christmas Spirit
"O Taunenbaum O' Tau-
nenbaum" begins the lyrics
of the song which we Amer-
icans translate as "O .Christ-
mas Tree O Christmas
Tree."
If we of the Brand staff
had more vocal talent we
would have sung the song;
but as it was we just stood
there looking at it with
pride the first Christmas
tree on the campus of Hardin-Simmons
University.
We expect some to say
that we were having trouble
finding news stories so we
decided to make a scoop by
getting the first Christmas
tree. This scoop actually
started when the editor an
assistant editor and a staff
writer decided to get some
dirt to put the tree in. What
started out to be a scoop
turned out' to be several
scoops of dirt and three per-
spiring brows.
Perhaps then was when
we really caught the Christ-
mas spirit the spirit of
working together toward a
common goal the spirit of
love and "good will toward
men."
It was a cooperative ef
fort one staff writer hang-
ing the bulbs on the tree
another writer dropping on
the icicles an assistant busi-
ness manager stringing the
Christmas lights on the tree
and the editor spraying on
the snow and adding the star
to the top.
The tree standing there
in its corner is a thing of
beauty and we invite one
and all to come see it. But
we realize that the true
beauty of Christmas is that
we commemorate the birth
of our Savior and Lord.

Badge of Honor
By T. B. MASTON
Retired Professor of Christian
Ethics Southwestern Baptist
Theological Seminary
t
There has been a tendency
in recent years in church and
society to respect the "white
collar" more than the "blue col
lar" worker. Rough calloused
hands are considered by many
a badge of dishonor rather of
honor. .
A number of factors have con-
tributed to this attitude which
represents a change in perspec-
tive regarding manual labor.
LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS
jr . 3wpimBggL!fli-tpffttf- " "w"--j
THoW W? fflM&OHMMW?"
One factor may simply be the
impact of numbers. Formerly
the vast majority of people
made their living by means of
manual labor. This is no longer
true in our nation and other in-
dustrialized nations of the
world. Machines now do most
of the heavy work.
Another factor in the changed
perspective has been the atti-
tude of those who have toiled
with their hands. Many of
them have said "I am going to
see that my kids do not have to
work as hard as I have had to."
To achieve this goal they have
done what they could to see
that their children particularly
their sons secured a "good
education." And by a "good
education" they meant one that
would prepare for business or
the professions.
Whatever may be the reasons
for the depreciation of the
"blue collar" and the calloused
hands the results have been
unfortunate. Many young
.people have received a college
education in whole or in part
for which they were not suited.
They have become misfits in
society. Either they should not
have gone to college or a differ-
ent type of education should
have been provided for them.
Because of the prevailing at-
titude toward manual labor
many churches and even some
denominations have largely
lost any effective ministry to
the laboring man While this

GEORGETOWN Ky. A 139-year-old ban on danc-
ing on the campus of the Southern Baptist school George-
town College has been dropped after a 17-3 vote by the
board of trustees.
The approved motion stated "that the students of
Georgetown College be allowed to include on-campus
dancing as part of their social program."
Student Government had pressed the issue after a
poll showed that every Greek-letter organization and
most independent organizations supported dancing.
Georgetown College is now the only Southern Baptist
college" which explicity permits on-campus dancing
although college officials said that Wake Forest Univer-
sity in Winston-Salem N. C. and perhaps other Baptist
colleges have permitted dancing for years without
adopting an official policy statement.
STANFORD Calif. Armed with curtains for the
windows 20 Stanford University coeds have moved into
the once all-male Lambda Nu fraternity house.
Like many of the 13 other coed living units at Stan-
ford Lambda Nu keeps its girls selected by lot from
over 100 applications in a separate wing. But the double
doors dividing the sexes are not bolted or guarded.
"This is the only coeducational fraternity that I know
of in the world" said the house president.
CINCINNATI Ohio In a boycott authorized by the
Student Council at Xavier University students in large
refuse to attend the annual Memorial Mass held to honor
deceased alumni and benefactors.
Theboycott came in protest to the system of fines
levied as a penalty for failure to attend and the compul-
sory nature of the annual service.
The Dean of Men estimated that from 200-300 stu- ?
dents attend the Mass. Attendance for the Mass is
usually 800-900.
Gospel Blimp At Vespers
Hardin-Simmons students and
faculty have a twofold opportun-
ity for voluntary on-campus wor-
ship: Morning Meditations and
Vespers.
Vespers Wednesday at 6 p. m
in Room 208 of Student C enter
will feature a 40 minute movie
"The Gospel Blimp." This movie
which is adapted from the book
by the same name by Joseph
Bayly is humorous yet also pre-'
sents a serious message.
The theme of Morning Medita-
tions this week is "From the
Heart." Each morning student
speakers relate to us in the inner-moat
feelings and convictions
of their hearts. Speakers for
Monday and Tuesday mornings
were Lee Underwood and Chris
Hubbard respectively.
The speaker for Wednesday
morning will be Bill Gaddis sen-
ior student from El Paso. Thurs-
day's speaker will be Linda Fen-
ley senior from Big Spring. C. J.
'Josey sophomore from Irving
will speak Friday morning.
Special music will include Bill
Starks with his guitar and Robin
Looney and Lynn Rouse .
Morning Meditatidns this week
is in Dining Room B in the SUi-
dent Center each morning from
7:90-7'.4V
