Orchids to the Interfaith Council, You have made a
great start toward what I hope will become an annual
presentation on Lamar Tech's campus. Religious
Emphasis Week has finally attained the "emphasis"
anti respect it deserves.
A bucket of beer and a box of cigars to the Cavaliers.
This year's Monte Carlo was the best ever.
Just a word o r two about basketball. Our basketball
team has an excellent conference record, 3 -0. That
deserves better student attendance than has been the
case the last two conference games here at home.
Second word, give us, please, some refereeing ref-
erees and keep those little "grimlins" in our basket
from knocking that ball out of the basket.
Western Week begins Monday. The days of yester-
year ride again. Out of the west in a cloud of dust
astride innumerable brands and models of cayusses
will come the mo st feared men of feared men and the
most sceered wimmin of sceered wimmin ever to
taste a Cheerio Oat.
High heeled boots,kerchiefs, low hanging guns and
wide brimmed hats will be featured as uniforms of the
day. So load yore pistols, load your dice, and save
yore gravy for the beans and rice. Remember! If
there is blood on the saddle and blood on the ground
the Sheriff just might suspect foul play.
I want to thank all of you for your nice compliments
on my column last week. It is very gratifying to learn
that type of thing is welcome on this campus. How-
ever, to squelch a few rumors that are underway, I
must confess that I have not made any definite plans
to enter the convent.
Most people are susceptible to flattery and I am no
different. Congratulations to Camille (Cutie) Alex-
ander, B.Maye (Hot Rod) Mathews, Dixie (Smooching
Good) Dixon, John (Big LoserJ Hall, Margaret (Guess
Who) Verret, Puckerin' Pearlie Grisham and Bertha
(Partner in Crime) Hebert,pronounced "Hey-Bear."
Thank you so much for your flattering remarks that
you were just about to die to get your name in Smoke.
But, really, Friends, this is not an obituary column,
not in title.
‘Bella Union’
Will Be Wed.
With a whoop and a holler,
Lamar Tech's Western
Week will begin in a few
days.
As always, one of the
highlights of the week will
be the annual Bella Union,
sponsored by the Revelers
and Zeta Chi sororities.
The show is an outstand-
ing feature of Western
Week each year, and this
one promises to be bigger
and better than ever.
Rehearsals for individual
speciality numbers, the
can-can and the "meller-
drammer" have already
begun. Amidst a back-
ground of Paris' rowdy
can-can music, the cast is
hard at work memorizing
lines.
The role of the hero is
played by Jackie Far-
quahar. Bertha Hebert
plays the villain. Others in
the cast include Beverly
Lee, Benita Bannister,San-
dra Boston, Mignon Butts,
Ann Shaw and Camille
Alexander.
Forming the can-can line
will be Jeanette Venable,
Wahwiece Hobbs, Terry
Ryall, Jean Craig, Martha
Boyd and Nancy Price.
Bella Union will be held
Wednesday, Feb. 15 in the
Tech gym. Starting time
is 8 p.m.
Committee chairmen are
Olive Ann Basco, can-can;
Elsie W hiddon, meller-
drammer; Jean Craig and
Rachel Arm Cooper, tick-
ets; Pearlie Grisham, con-
tinuity; Gwen Park,bar; Jo
Ann Bockman and Glenda
Westmoreland, tables;
Mignon Butts, publicity;
Tracy Giesen and Tommie
Jean Hebert, backdrops;
Dot Bates and Gail Connell,
barmaids.
Admission is 50 cents,
Tickets may be obtained at
the door or from any mem-
ber of Zeta Chi or Rev-
elers.
Helen Chadwick, the chan -
nel swimmer, claims wo-
men have more endurance
than men. Come to think of
it they do outlive, outtalk
and outspend the men.

P. J. Bruno
Student Council Treasurer
We are all aware of the
tremendous growth of the
Student body in the past few
years; Because of this
growth,:we have outgrown
some of our facilities, one
of them being parking
area.
Due to the fact that the
majority of students are
commuters we have more
than the usual amount of
automobiles found at a col-
lege of comparable size.
Some students are of the
opinion that the adminis-
tration has grown lax in
providing adequate park-
ing facilities, but quite the
contrary. The administra-
tion has doubled p arking
area within the past two
years, but it is hard to keep
up with Lamar's growth.
They are faced with the
problem of expanding
other facilities and finding
space for parking not being
used for future buildings.
They would appreciate our
patience and cooperation.
