tainment information and criticism of interest "to the cam-
pus this school year through this semi-weekly publication.
What can you expect of the BRAND? It is hoped that
students faculty and administrators will voice their opinions
through letters to the editor.

the Christian ideas on which this University is founded.

with the purpose of informing you of events and informa-
tion. Staff members will be assigned in strategic points in
the University system in an effort to provide coverage of all
activities.

some news worthy item please relate it to a staff member.

news come and join the staff in Mary Frances Hall every
Tuesday and Thursday evenings. Staff members do not have
to be journalism students but students interested in better
coverage of activities on campus.

Welcome address
Dear faculty administration and students
Another year is jiow here and let us step into it with the
kind of enthusiasm 'that has never been seen or felt here.
There is no doubt that we have the greatest potential for an
outstanding year but it is up to you and me to make it great.
For those of you who are on campus let me urge you to
become involved in all the activities you possibly can. If you
happen to live off-campus stay around the campus longer
than .the required classroom time so we can get to know you.
Let me say welcome to everyone as we start the 1971-72
academic year and good luck in everything you endeavor this
year. Instead of having just another year let us strive to
make it a time that will be remembered by everyone as truly
outstanding.

Student Congress president
B.S. degree offered
for nursing students
Hardin-Simmons University
in cooperation with Baylor Uni-
versity and the University of
Texas provides the training nec-
essary for acquiring a bachelor
of science degree in nursing
announced Dr. H. Taylor Rankin
chairman of the Biology Dep-
artment. "For a number of years we
have had a cooperative plan
with Hendrick Hospital on the
diploma plan in nursing but we
feel today's trend is leading to
bachelors degree in nursing"
he commtnted.
Dr. Rankin said most nursing
programs in the United States
require some college training.
The diploma program presently
requires one full year of college
training and then clinical train-
ing at the hospital. The baccau-
laureate program requires two
years of college training fol-
lowed by clinical training in
order to receive the bachelors
degree in nursing. "Hardin-
Simmons offers the necessary
course work in order to meet
both of these programs." Dr.
Rankin stated.
"We have developed a co-
operative plan 'with nursing
schools throughout the state
whereby a student may receive
either nursing program he wish-
es. The new program would in-
volve the arrangement we have
anade on the bachelors level
with Baylor University Medical
Center in Dallas and the Uni-
versity of Texas School of Nur-
sing" he continued.
Both of these programs would
allow the student jo attend H-SU
ON CAMPUS
for two years and then two
years at the nursing school of
his choice.
After one year at H-SU a stu-
dent can transfer to any accred-
ited School of Nursing offering
diploma program but because
of the location of Mary Nix
School of Nursing at Hendrick
Memorial Hospital most stu-
dents would choose to attend
that school he said.
"We feel the medically related
fields have every oppprtunity
for jobs in the future- and we
feel like nursing is another one
of the fields whereby one can
help himself by helping others."
Dr. Rankin anticipates in-
creasing interest in the nursing
program at Hardin-Simmons.
"We feel the program will pick
up in the next few years."
