THE REDBIRD Sept. 20, 1968-Page 2
Time for Growth
A university becomes a university, not be-
cause of courses offered, student enrollment,
or a change in name. A university is a way of
life created by a mature scholastic attitude.
Lamar State College of Technology is
rapidly expanding to" the physical dimensions
of a university. It must also expand in spirit.
The college administrators have demonstrated
capacity for movement in this direction. Stu-
dent government is striving to accelerate the
movement.
Our major objective is to aid in the cre-
ation of an atmosphere worthy of the facilities
of Lamar College. We will be dedicated to this
in both our editorial and news columns.
We encourage letters to the editor. Any
student wishing to comment on the contents of
The Redbird or on any subject of interest to
the student body may do so through such a let-
ter. Letters must be in by noon on the Tuesday
before desired publication on Friday. They
should not exceed 250 words in length.
Advertising must be submitted by 5 p. m.
on the Friday before publication is desired.
All political advertising must be paid for in
advance.
Those with news items should contribute
them before the Tuesday noon deadlines.
Lamar must cease being “Big Red High”
in the minds of area residents and its own
students.lt must develop in philosophy, atmos-
phere, and student attitudes. We hope to be a
substantial contributing factor in this trans-
formation in the coming year.
Entertainment Committee
Allocated $3,200 for Year
The Student Union program
Board, which plans social and
recreational events for students,
has been granted $3,200 for top
name entertainment this year,
according to Bill Ramsey, chair-
man.
The program board consists of
the executive offices, commit-
tee heads, and four members
at large. Membership on commit-
tees is open to Lamar students.
There are five committees.
The top name entertainment
committee arranges for popular
entertainers to visit Lamar. This
includes working with agents,
contracts, and money.
The publicity committee is re-
sponsible for publicizing all e-
vents planned by the union, and
needs creative members, ac-
cording to Ramsey.
The recreation committee has
been established to provide a
program of *fun-type* entertain-
ment for the student body.
The social committee is re-
sponsible for planning all so-
cial activities held in the Union,
ranging from teas to after game
dances.
The creative arts committee
arranges for and produces art
shows, film festivals, and other
cultural events.
