A Hardin-Simmons University

written a textbook "A Study of
lUowering Plants" currently be-

campus and several others.
Dr. McCoy professor in .biology

Science at H-SU since 1967 has

Welcome!
Annual Homecoming at
Hardin-Simmons is always
a welcome sight. It's at
these times that the alumni
reflect on the days they
were students at H-SU and
the differences in their
teachers and athletic teams
and their facilities.
Too at this time parents
who visit the Hardin-Simmons
University campus
find it quite rewarding to
see the teachers which their
sons and daughters associ-
ate with each day the hous-
ing where the students have
through diligent efforts
made into compact homes-
much different from that
in high school.
A Step
.Announcement of the re-
organization of the Hardin-
Simmons Cowgirls is one of
which we assuredly wel-
come. The new set-up proposed
for the longstanding Hardin-Simmons
tradition dat-
ing 44 years is one which
may bring about the estab-
lishment of the much need-
ed new image for the Cow-
girls. By making the organiza-
tion two units a hostess
unit and a parade unit it
may now serve in two need-
ed areas thus compliment-
ing the university to a
greater degree.

botany professor Churchill Win-
ston Thomas who was respon-
sible for my very first interest
in botany and encouraged me to
continue in the area of plant
systematics."
PRICE of the text available in
the H-SU Bookstore is $3.
The book is the outgrowth of a
syllabus developed by Dr. McCoy.
Homecoming is the time
which exes spend hours
talking over "old times"
with former classmates
roommates and club broth-
ers or sisters.
We hope you will pay
special attention to Hardin-
Simmons this Homecoming.
For at H-SU we have
added many facilities more
and better-trained faculty
members and a host of
other accommodations
which go strictly for the
Hardin-Simmons family in
an endeavor to make this a
better place to receive an
education.
Certainly Hardin - Sim-
mons is a university in the
midst of change. The Edi-
tor. Forward
will undoubtedly benefit the
organization and Hardin-
Simmons. Setting up a separate pa-
rade unit is something else
which will add to H-SU.
Hardin-Simmons has long
needed a group to establish
a spirit standard for the
school.
Maybe the Rangers should
investigate the possibility of
a reorganization such as the
Cowgirls have done. This
might be of even more bene-
fit. But for now we must lend
our support to the Cow-
girls. Hardin -Simmons
women should look into the
Cowgirl organization and
support them. It would
help a great deal. The

ARKADELPHIA Ark. Several black students at
Ouachita Baptist University have proposed a black-
oriented coeducational social club at the school.
"Let's be honest" one of the leaders said "if I were
a black on a white social club I just wouldn't feel at
home. I'd have to put on a front and the whites would
have to put. on a front too."
OAKLAND CITY Ind. The 700 students at Oakland
City College are circulating petitions asking the college
to relax the on-campus dance ban which 'dates back to
the school's founding in 1885.
Reportedly administrators fear hat relaxing the ban
would cause the college to lose up to $100000 a year
in support from its sponsor the General Baptist Church.

In the three-way regional rivalry between Houston
Rice and SMU Houston placed first when its top man-
woman team downed 333 silver dollar pancakes as com-
pared to SMU's 269 and Rice's 240.

any more pancakes in the near future" said the Hous-

ANN ARBOR Mich.The Michigan legislature is
launching an investigation of the state's universities cen-
tering around the University of Michigan where a play
was shut down Jan. 26 for its use of nudity.
Wayne State University in Detroit and Michigan
State in East Lansing are also expected to feel the brunt
of the probe which resulted from concern over student
activism on the campuses.
"People are sick and tired of shaggy-haired idiots
interfering with the activities of good students" said State
Senator James Fleming a Republican who introduced
the resolution for the investigation.

The time has come to think about what is going to hap-
pen to music The heavy sound is here today and is not
likely to disappear in the very near future. Heavy music
has become the norm of both coasts and is gradually
creeping inland.
Hard rock is. slowly becoming the hottest area in
music today. The combination of these two fields pro-
duces what we call psychedellic music.
Many people are of the opinion that this type of music
fm&oul?f thf scene' ePle like Jimi Hendrix and
Curtis Knight and groups like Jefferson Airplane Big
tu 5S? and msmy others are Paving album after
album that this music is not fading anywhere.
Congratulations go out to Mike Martin of KNIT.radio
here in Abilene on his new release "Little Tin God." Mikt
i currently on a tour of 10 major cititi and wiU toon t
returning to Abilene.
