A graduate of Abilene High in
1971 she returned from college last
year with a desire to work and do
things for herself. If she goes back
to shcool she plans to attend H-SU.
"I absolutely love it. I've never
seen such warmth or hospitality
anywhere."
Upon returning she would
attempt a degree in psychology.
"I love to find out about people"
she said. "The more people the bet-
ter; I just love to be around them."
As she puts it she has a ''husband
who doesn't do anything'1 because
she isn't married! This status has
yielded much teasing from the
faculty. For instance she is accused
of having a stick behind her desk
to slap guys' hands.
During her first week hero she
was working dligently on some
material for another office when she
noticed a single male staffer from
that department going by her desk.
Knowing she had something for his
area but unable to remember what
it was at that moment she blurted
"Do you want what I've got?"
"Yeah but I don't get off work
until five" was his reply.

In order to provide a better and
more liberal approach in course
offerings to the individual student
the art department is in the process
of making revisions in the cur-
riculum for the 1972-73 school year.
According to Ira M. Taylor acting
head of the department these revi-
sions will upgrade the academic
standards of the department which
in turn will strenghten the quality
of art work that is produced in the
department of art.
Several trips and exhibits have
been planned for the school year in
addition to the Senior ArtShows put
( on by senior H-SU art majors depict-
ing the work of areas of concentra-
tion during their four years of study.

ment include several visits to
museums and galleries in Fort

shows in the H-SU art gallery. Their
work will not only be on exhibit but
the artist will be on-hand to speak
about his work ot the students.
Many art shows are also in the
planning stages for the 1972-73
school year. During the spring
semester it is hoped that a Tri-
Collcge Art Professors Show will be
presented.
In addition to a High School Art
exhibit on the H-SU campus plans
are being made for outstanding high
school art students to present one-
man shows. The first one-woman
show will be presented in December
at H-SU and will be presented by
Miss Dee-Deborah Martin a student
at Abilene High School.
The art department is currently
working with the Development
Program to set up a scholarship for
outstanding art students who plan
to enroll here upon graduation from
high school. According to Taylor the
art department is in the process of
writing H-SU art alumni for dona-
tions to set up such a fund.
