Poster vandalism
A rather disturbing situation has develop-
ed on campus during the campaigns for home-
Goming and slime queens. There have been
several reported instances of the destruction
of campaign posters by someone who has
delusions of grandeur as an artist.
This is probably the most juvenile act
we have witnessed at Lamar in years. After
the candidates and their sponsoring organ-
izations spend a lot of time and effort on
campaign posters, some clown gets his or her
kicks by drawing moustaches or hammering
nails in them.
We would suggest that in the case of fur-
ther incidents, election posters should be
discontinued with only hand bills being used.
It is a sad occassion when a prankster
ruins the spirit of a campus election. We
suggest a prompt inquiry into the situation
by the Student Government Association.
Repeated incidents can only further dam-
age the image of elections at Lamar, which
have been rather tarnished already.
Attend the rally
We congratulate the Central City Develop-
ment Corporation for their hard work in
promoting Lamar University week along with
merchants in downtown Beaumont.
Such a spirit of cooperation between the
university and local merchants was badly
needed and hopefully will be continued i'n the
future.
The observance, which began Monday,
will be climaxqd by a pep rally and drawing
for gifts today at the Sears parking lot, Laurel
at Magnolia.
We are hoping te^see a good turnout at the
pep rally which-wilfLsalute the football team,
Coach Vernon, Glares and members of his
staff.
Don’t let apathy reign at this rally. Par-
ticipate and boost the Cardinals.
Support homecoming
Homecoming is just around the corner
(Nov. 6) and we would like to remind all
students and faculty members to partici-
pate in the festive activities.
We also encourage all students to get
out and vote for the queen candidate of your
choice.
Show a little pride in your school. Par-
ticipate in Lamar’s first homecoming as a
university.

From the Editor
By Julian Galiano
Editor in chief
I would like to thank the ath-
letic department for the hospi-
tality shown our photographer,
J. “Skip" Dickstein, for the La-
mar Mississippi State gridiron
clash at Starkville, Miss, last
Saturday.
Coach Vernon Glass and his
staff have been courteous and
generous with our past requests
and I hope we can continue this
spirit of cooperation into the
future.
In the past few weeks, this
newspaper has been critical of
the athletic department. This
criticism does not reflect on
any one personality, but was
intended to reverse the results
of the season thus far.
The Redblrd has always sup-
ported Lamar’s athletic ven-
tures. We will continue to do
so in the future.
I do not believe that any one
man is responsible for Lamar’s
football record in the past four
years. The inability of the
football team to have a winning
season is the product of several
■factors to which we will com-
ment on later.
I want to emphasize that we
will not support any such move-
ment now or in the future.
We appreciate the opportunity
to provide our readers with
photographic coverage of the
Lamar-Mississippi State con-
test.
Once again to Coach Glass
and his staff, we say thanks,
so while reserving our right
to dissemmlnate opinion re-
garding the performance of any
Lamar athletic team.
We have had several sugg-
estions sent our way to start
a “dump Vernon Glass move-
ment."

Dear Editor:
During the recent Slime
Queen elections several posters
were vandalized. When are the
juveniles on this campus going
to grow up?
Everyone takes the time to
voice their opinions on the ir-
rational decisions of the admin-
istration, but no one seems to
care if the student body is
accepting their responsibilities
as students. It really took a
mature person to use a black
magic marker on the photo-
graphs of the candidates, but
someone was really talented to
drive a nail through the eyes
of the pictures.
Does this student body realize
that it takes at least $55 to
enter a candidate in an election?
This $55 does not include the
minimum 12 hours of hard work.
Student’s responsibilities,
also, Include going to the polls
to vote, so let’s take some time
to evaluate our own irrespon-
sibilities and assume some
pride in our schooL
Theresa Howard
Dear Editor:
There’s a continuous problem
on this campus which all of us
have been through, It’s too hot in
some of the classrooms. Air
conditioning units are constant-
ly breaking down, causing us to
sweat more than we learn. It’s
not so bad in the few buildings
which have windows, but the
others are almost unbearable.
I urgently reccommend that
our student leaders take some
action against this living hell
'before we go through the same
thing when spring arrives. -

Band to salute
armed forces
here Saturday
“ A Salute to the Armed For-
ces” will be the theme of the
Lamar Marching Band’s half-
time performance Saturday
night. The band will step off
to John Phillip Sousa’s, "The
Stars and Stripes Forever* and
execute an intricate circle and
clover-leaf kaleidoscope drill.
From concert formation, the
band will play an arrangement
of “Free* by Chicago composed
by James Simmons, band
director , as the Lamar front
line does a twirling routine.
The band will then move into
position and begin its salute to
America’s armed forces. Spec-
tators will watch the 200-piece
band spell out the different
branches of the services while
Color Guards parade across the
Cardinal field. Sammy Nes-
tico wrote the “Armed Forces
Medley* played during the half-
time show.
“Big Red* concludes the per-
formance when the band forms
a huge LU.
Also, Saturday morning at
10:30 a.m., the band will lead
the annual Veteran’s Day parade
through downtown Beaumont,
