Who's Who? 33 Folks
From H-SU That's Who
Thirty-three Hardin-Sim-mons
students were named to
Who's Who in American Uni-
versities and Colleges this fall.
The list was released this
week from the Who's Who na-
tional office in Tuscaloosa Ala.
Nominations were made by a
special committee at H-SU
which included faculty ad-
ministrators and students.
Who's Who quotas are based on
enrollment. Students are chosen
on the basis of the stature they
have achieved on campus
through participation in extra-
curricular activities as well as
on academic accomplishments.
A biography of each student
will be included in this year's
edition of the national Who's
Who publication and each will
Bronco Retakes
Reset Wednesday
Make-up pictures for the
1975-76 BRONCO will be
taken Wednesday Oct. 22 from
9 a.m.-5 p.m.
"This is absolutely the LAST
CHANCE for students and full-
time office employees to have
their pictures made for this
year's annual" said Gail Par-
key co-editor of the BRONCO.
Candids of faculty adminis-
trative officers and administra-
tive staff will be taken later by
the university photographer.
Pictures will be taken in
Room 207 at the top of the stairs
in Moody Center. The cost for
four poses is $1.60 the same
price as last year.
Miss Parkey and Lori Evans
also co-editor of the yearbook
said they encouraged everyone
who has not had their picture
made to do so Wednesday be-
cause "you won't have another
chance."
Major Crockett
Likeable Fellow
BY DARLENE BARNETT
Brand Staff
RINNNG. CLICK. "D.T.
here." "Major Crockett?" Such is
Maj. D.T. Crockett of the ROTC
unit. Maj. Crockett was born in
Abilene but was raised in Cross
Plains. He has been at Hardin-
Simmons for the past two-and-one-half
years with another
two-and-one-half to go.
Maj. Crockett wanted his
Master's Degree badly. He ap-
plied for permission to attend
school. At the same time he was
on orders for Korea. His applica-
tion was approved with the
stipulation that after receiving
his Master's degree he would
remain to teach. He has received
his degree and now teaches a
freshman ROTC course.
Crockett's course is one of gen-
eral familiarization of Army
leadership development.
How does he feel about H-SU?
"Just couldn't bo any nicer
here." For Maj. Crockett it is
very important to feel loved and
liked. H-SU is the sixth univer
be pictured in the Bronco
H-SU's yearbook.
Who's Who students from
Abilene are Dennis Austin
Donald Howard Nancy Merrell
Tony Thetford Mrs. Vicki
Thomas and Robert Williams.
Others are Jimmy Alcala of
Coleman Ladonna Allison of
Fort Worth Bob Bergen of Los
Alamos N.M. Stacy Blair of
Eastland. Lenora Bouza of Rals-
Now Even You
Can Have a Date
Running short of funds? You
can still afford that date just
buy Interstate Theatre tickets
on campus. They're only a buck
and a half.
"We're trying to give the
yearbook a slightly different
look this year" said Miss Par-
key "but the key to a good year-
book is having all the .students
pictured. It won't be an accurate
record of Hardin-Simmons if we
can't get more than half of the
student enrollment pictured."
The editors also reminded
those who have already had
their pictures made to return
their proofs IN PERSON to
Roberts Studio 1138 N. 2. There
will be a $2 charge by the studio
for all unreturned proofs.
"We would also like to invite
any interested person regard-
less of previous experience to
work on this year's BRONCO"
said Miss Evans. "But we're par-
ticularly looking for people with
some background in art and
graphics."
sity Maj. Crockett has attended
and he feels he is loved and liked
here more than anywhere else.
When asked about his outside
activities Maj. Crockett said he
likes to do a lot but only with
someone else someone he en-
joys. He leads a pretty full life
and doesn't really have much
spare time. Maj. Crockett feels
perhaps his most enjoyable
hobby is just "shooting the
breeze."
Somewhere in his spare time
he is able to fit in his two quar-
terhorses Bonnie aniversitd
Babe. He keeps the horses at the
H-SU ranch. He does have a
farm 42 miles away where he
occasionally keeps them. Crock-
ett does not ride often but allows
others to. Mainly he just "goofs"
with them.
Although rumor has it that
D.T. Crockett is extremely fond
of his pick-up he states that re-
ally a pick-up is a fantastic deal
for a single man. Ho has Btories
to tell of himself and his pick-up
but did not really realize how
much he did talk about it.

RULES ARE made to be broken not bent. (Barry Pupella photo)
New Date Oct. 24
Rodeo Approaches
Come one come all to the an-
nual intramural rodeo spon-
sored by Hardin-Simmons
Rodeo Club. The rodeo will start
at 6:30 p.m. on Oct. 24 at the
arena on Grape Street. If you are
looking for fun thrills and ex-
citement then what are you
waiting for? Treat yourself to a
night at the rodeo.
The rodeo was postponed until
Oct. 24 because the stock pro-
ducer gave a bid lower than the
broker due to provide stock the
11th.
For those people who think
that all you have to do to prepare
for a rodeo is to find someone to
ride a horse you've got another
thing coming. Much preparation
goes into preparing for a rodeo.
First you assign events and
there are quite a few of them.
Then you contact the stock pro
the beast reach an impasse. (Barry
No. 12
ducer the guy who owns the
horses bulls and steers and get
a bid. Next locate an announcer
two judges and animals for other
events such as calf scramble and
goat dressing. In addition you
need to make up rules to go by.
If anyone has questions get in
touch with Terry Kelly this
year's Rodeo Club president.
Cash prizes will be awarded at
the rodeo. For the contestant
rodeo is the most expensive
sport. Eligibility to be a contes-
tant is set up by the H-SU In-
tramural Council. To be an ac-
tive member of the Rodeo Club
dues must be paid.
Plan now on attending this
annual event. If you miss this
rodeo you will surely be missing
something. Everyone should ex-
perience at least one rodeo in his
lifetime.
