Desperate Need
As "advertised" is last week's issue George Tuck's "look
at Simmons Science Hall" is featured this week.
The writer has. spent several tweeks in preparing this
article. It is not something that was done on the spur of the
moment.
s '
The purpose of the articleis to show the inadequacies of
the science building and to point out how desperately we
need a new science building.
We are not trying to de-grade any of' the departments
and we are not trying to run down any department for
lack of equipment. We are only trying however to under-
score the need for a science building.
Guest Editorial
Thousands of students are taking courses in journalism
these days not necessarily with the thought of becoming
newspaper people but for valuable training in the art of self-
expression. Making people understand what you say whether you
say it in written or spoken words in a picture a piece of
music or a dance is the highest form of self-expression. It
isn't any good just to say or write or paint something unless
people get what you mean.
We stumbled across a little piece of writing yesterday
that well might serve as a model of story-telling in a few
words. Not a word is wasted. The picture it paints is cry-
stal clear. It contains human interest and humor the one
indispensable and the other more precious than rubies.
The story was datelined Baltimore and was credited to
the United Press. We reproduce it here minus dateline in
its entirety:
"A Baltimore Zoo monkey named Charlie was always
beating up the other monkeys. . .
"So zoo officials put him in a cage with a porcupine'
named Wilton. . They figured a faceful of Wilton's needle-
sharp quills would kill Charlie's love of battle.
"But they miscalculated Charlie's perseverance. He kept
on the offensive. After each assault on Wilton he would
retired to a corner and patiently one by one remove the
.quills.
"Last night Wilton ran out of quills. They burfed him
today."
Nobody ever painted a completer picture than this
"whether of a battle involving millions of troops or a simple
contest between animals. There is nothing missing here;
the whole story is told and yet not a single unnecessary
word was spent.
Brevity is the soul of wit. That is why there are so few
wits for condensation is the most difficult of all writing jobs.
It is ten times easier to tell a story in a thousand words than
to tell the same story in a hundred words.

What
Editor's note: The following
column will be a regular fea-
ture in the Brand this semes-
ter. The writer will attempt
to present a question of stu-
dent interest each week and
seek student opinions concern-
ing the question.
By CYNTHIA BASSETT
The handling of final ex-
amination schedules is one of
the biggest problems for school
administrators. It is difficult
and nearly impossible to find
a workable schedule that meets
with universal approval. Har-
din - Simmons administrators
seem to have found as near
the magic formula as is pos-
sible. Generally students on the
H-SU campus are ia favor of
having examinations split over
a weekend. Their reasons and
motives are varied.
"Exams are exams" says
Robert Murray a sophomore
from Ft. Worth who is major-
ing in business management.
"It doesn't matter when you
take them but the weekend
gives a little time to relax
between them."

Speaking of Politics is in two
parts this week the other half
is on the front page if you haven't
already seen it.
The all-school trip house of
representatives elections and the
all-school carnival were the main
items on the agenda this week.
Business manager W o m b 1 e
gave a financial report and the
Senate seems to have no prob-
lems money-wise. They have
knocked off about half of their
budget during the first semester.
This compares about the same
with last year's senate.
Town Reports
Vice-president Towns brought
a report on the coming elections
both the house of representatives
and the carnival king. With all
the voting going on next week
students will probably elect rep
resentatives as carnival king and
the carnival king nominees will
wind up in the house of repre-
sentatives. All-school Trip
Womble brought a complete re-
port on the fast-approaching all-
school trip to Canyon. Womble
expressed a disappointment that
has been shown for the trip. He
stated that the main problem
seemed to be the expense.
According to his figures the
trip would cost the student ap-
proximately $12. To cut the
transportation price President
Bonds suggested we go on the
Sunset Stages (sounds exciting).
Womble said "Maybe it would
be better if we tried Wells
Fargo!"
Then Womble moved that the
Senate pay half the price of the
transportation. Discussion center-
ed around this questilon: what if
more than two buses were filled.
If too many buses were filled
there goes the senate budget out
the window.
Senator Perkins called for the
questioni it was defeated.
Lull
After this motion was defeated
there seemed to be a lull among
the senators. They were faced
with a big decisionp-that needed
immediate action- involving
money (money decisions are al-
ways big) and no one wanted to
make a motion.
Towns then moved that the
senate pay half-price for only two
buses. Senator Foster offered op-
position saying that this was "un-
fair" and that this would be "kick:
ing those students in the face who
didn't make the first two buses."
Senator Moon commented that
she didn't think there would bo
more than two buses filled.
The question was called for
it carried with Foster being the
only opposition.
Homecoming Report
Bonds brought a report from
the homecoming committee. He
said that there would be an art
Do You
senior Coy Sharp from Odessa
favors the split schedule be-
cause "It gives a better start
for the new semester. I would
much rather start classes on
Monday than Thursday or Fri-
day. A schedule of four test
days wears out most people
but a weekend between gives
a time to rest."
Senior Ann Bradley a poli-
tical science major from Cisco
recovers from past exams and
studies for the future ones in
her wekend break.
Need 10 Days
Neal Stark sophomore from
Santa Barbara California
doesn't agree that the weekend
helps. As a major in math
Neal attended the University
of California where ten days
were allowed for exams. "We
had more time to really study
and concentrate in a less tense
situation" says Neal.
Borger biology major Alice
Rittenhouse is another who
enjoyed the weekend break. As
a freshman she found her first
attempts at college finals were
more relaxed because of week-
end study time.
Dead Week?

ists series for the Saturday night
of homecoming next year. Plans
for a campus review and corona-
tion on Friday night are still the
same.
Bonds brought good news from
the last general affairs meeting.
Some time ago Senator introduc-
ed to "the senate that classes be
homecoming. The motion passed
the senate and then was sent to
general affairs. Surprisingly
general affairs approved the mo-
tion with a small compromise.
The committee has recommended
that classes be dismissed after
Chapel on the homecoming Fri-
day and that a barbecue empha-
sizing homecoming be held that
afternoon.
Bonds made some quick carni-
val assignments then came Fost-
er's "bomb."
Wish I'd Said
That
"It takes work to develop
science for the improvements we
enjoy. Unless a man has to do
more than he can do he will not
do all that he can do." Gordon
Cooper Lambertville (N. J.) Rec-
ord. "We spend so much time plan-
ning to give our children things
we didn't have that we forget to
see that they have at least some
of the things we' did have."
Elbert Forester East Point (Ga.)
Atlanta's Suburban Reporter.
''Junk is anything that lies
around in your way for ten years
and you throw it away two weeks
before you need it." Robert E.
Lee Woodward County (Okla.)
Journal.
"Marriage may be inspired by
music soft words and perfume
but its security is manifest in
work consideration and well
fried bacon." Douglas Meador
Matador (Tex.) Tribune. -
If you go through life with a
clenched fist nobody can ever put
anything into it.
Fplks used to worry because
they couldn't take it with them.
In today's tax climate their only
worry is whether it will last as
long as they do.
Some of the greatest bounces
are the result of the fall that
pride went before.

Think?
the idea of a weekend break
but feels that it is unfair for
professors to schedule major
tests on the last days before
the finals. With the split
schedule he favors a real
"dead week" with no major
tests and no extra-curricular
activities.
Finals Are Frustrating
Freshman Pat Rosenkranz a
physical therapy major from
Bryan opposes the split sched-
ule because "It does not af-
ford the students any time to
prepare for a new semester.
Frustrated from finals they
must rush into registration and
new classes in a tense atmos-
phere. It is good to be able to
go home and relax without
worrying about beginning the
grind again in a day or two."
Don Webb a junior speech
major from Graham favors a
split schedule with weekend
relaxation and study time.
Students who wish to trans-
fer find the split schedule and
short holiday a handicap in
their plans. With a full week
of semester break as most
schools have they find time to
formulate their plans and com-
plete their transfer.

This is my commandment
that ye love one another.
(John 15:12).
We can deal with almost
any situation even when we
encounter those who antago-
nize us if we remember God's
admonition to show love at all
times for 'our fellow beings.
This attitude could lead to
some remarkable transforma-
tions in the feelings of others
for us.
