HSU BRAND
November 15 1974
In My
Opinion
This is an apology to the financial aid office for the misunders-
tanding of the statement I made concerning the alleged discrepen-
cies of financial aid.
HOWEVER it is my sincere belief that the financial aid and
recruitment offices should continue their efforts to make H-SU more
appealing to Mexican-Americans Blacks and lower income whites.
I realize that the monetary situation is tight and that is probably
why some of these so called "minorities" do not attend school here.
But I would like to know if a real effort is being made to reach out to
these people make them aware of the financial aid possibilities that
are supposed to be found in the financial aid office. Perhaps special
scholarships should be set up with more grants and scholarships
instead of loans. Let's face it one can't afford to pay back a loan if he
won't be able to pay it back. You know if he does not have the
money in the first place how do you expect him to' have it ever. He
needs more "free" money. We honestly believe that Hardin-
Simmons should make every effort to appeal to the "minorities" and
give them a chance to experience the Christian education that
Hardin-Simmons offers to one and all.
In Wednesday's Student Congress meeting Dean Alvin 0. Austin
reported on the trustees meeting. Austin reported that the trustees
seemed to like the student interest shown last Thursday night and
said that committees were set up to study the different recommen-
dations made by the students to the trustees. As for dances well
that may yet lie in the distant future; however there seems to have
been a small breakthrough in the hard-core stands that many had.

Are you living a useful life?
Are you living up to your fullest
expectations? Ae you getting the
most that life can offer? If not
perhaps you need to review what
life is all about.
Life consists of the self-
awareness to know honestly
what you are what you can do
and what you cannot do. The
judgment to channel your ener-
gies into those avenues which
best utilize your abilities and do
not require talents which you do
not possess. The humility to
learn from others even though
they could be younger less ex-
perienced or of humbler station
than you. The wisdom to cheer-
fully admit error and learn from
your experiences that you may
grow and develop and avoid re-
petition of those mistakes.
Life is the courage to make de-
cisions whenever they are
necessary and to avoid rashness
when they are not. The sensitiv-
ity to judge the reactions of
others that you may modify your
actions to meet the needs of
those affected. The considera-
tion to recognize the worth of
each individual and to respect
all those with whom you have
contact neither stifling their
development nor exalting your-
self at their expense. The pers-
picacity to acknowledge that
you can be no more effective
than your subordinates enable
you to be and to deal with them
so that they can help you by
helping themselves.
Also life is the tolerance to
recognize mistakes and a cost of
true learning and to stand by
your subordinates accepting
your responsibility for their ac-
tions. The insight to develop a per-
sonal philosphy that your life
may have more meaning and
satisfaction and that you may
avoid capricious action under
pressures of expediency. The
patience to live realistically
with your circumstances striv-
ing always for the better but
recognizing the perils of too
rapid or too drastic change.
All these things will lead you
to a more useful life to live up to
your expectations and accept
the everyday circumstances
that life may bring. Through all
these things we serve our fellow
man and through them we
serve the Lord.
