Make Beaumont what. . . ?
The president of the Beaumont Cham-
ber of Commerce, William W. Phillips Jr.,
has expressed a desire to have Beaumont be
known as a college town. An editorial in the
Beaumont Enterprise noted that Phillips
thought the name suggested warmth, vitality
and youth.
We wish Phillips the best of luck in
changing Beaumont’s description from un-
interested, slow and narrow to warm, vital
and youthful. While we do not see much pos-
sibility of success in changing people who
have already shown overwhelming aversion
to supporting Lamar, we do feel that the very
presence of such an attitude among a com-
munity leader is praiseworthy.
Denial of Lamar Theatre
Investigated by Honor Court
Denial of the use of the La-
mar Theatre to the Newman Cen-
ter for a talk by Dr. Mary Cal-
derone has been investigated by
the Senate research committee
and referred to the Student Ho-
nor Court.
Larry Welch, reporting for the
committee Monday, stated the
committee was informed the
denial was based on the New-
man Center not being a recog-
nized campus club.
Page 25 of the Student Hand-
book was cited as listing the
Newman Center as a recognized
campus organization.
Article VIH on *he Student As-
sociation Constitution, appearing
on page 42 of the Handbook was
then cited.
Funds Collected
To Se*\d Children
To ‘Six Flags’
Funds to send the children
of the Beaumont Children’s Home
to Six Flags Over Texas are
being collected by the member
organizations of the House.
A fund account has been set
up in the Student Activities
Office. Any student desiring
to do so can contribute, accord-
ing to Harold Magnus, project
treasurer.
Each campus organization has
been asked to contribute $5 or
more.
Section 800 states, *A recog-
nized organization wiU be de-
fined as a professional, religious,
service, social or mutual inter-
est organization meeting recog-
nition in the bulletins of Lamar
State College of Technology.”
Section 801 grants use of “the
facilities of the college” to “col-
lege sponsored duos in good
standing.”
The Honor Court will decide
if an injustice has been done and
take steps to prevent future mis-
understandings.
Senate investigation of the dis-
missal of Dr. Gordon Hensley,
former professor of modern lan-
guages, has been dropped. The
matter was considered unsuitable
for student investigation.

Letters
Dear Editor,
To anyone who has bothered to
read the letters to the editor
it is evident that a new member
of our student government has
sparked the needed move toward
a more progressive student gov-
ernment.
More specifically I am talking
about the letters that have ap-
peared regularly by Gary Stan-
ford, the SAC representative to
the House. His work in regard
to the Student Bill of Rights and
his efforts in instituting Sound
Off as a needed outlet for the
gripes of the student body have
made the ordinary student aware
Aid Granted
To Students
Four hundred fourteen Lamar
Tech students have received
financial aid in the amount of
$104,743 for the spring semester
from the Texas Opportunity Plan
and National Defense Student
Loans programs and from the
tuition and emergency loans of-
fered by the college, according
to Bryan Sumrall, loan officer.
Sixty-eight students received
Texas Opportunity Plan loans for
a total of $22,375. A total of
$74,000 was loaned to 254 stu-
dents by the National Defense
Student Loans program.
Tuition and emergency loans,
which are offered by the college,
amounted to 92 loans and a to-
tal of $8,368.
In addition to the government
and college sponsored loans, ap-
proximately 100 students
received aid in the amount
of $35,000 from United Student
Aid Fund, Inc,, which operates
through banks and credit unions,
according to Sumrall.
rounds before being defeated in
the quarter-finals.
Tournament sweepstakes honors
went to Oklahoma State Univer-
sity with a total of 80 points.
The University of Texas and
Southwest Missouri State tied for
second with 75 points each.
Lamar Teach accumulated 73
points.
A total of 55 schools entered
the meet. There were 105 debate
teams and representation from
such schools as Stanford Univer-
of his government.
By bringing such issues to the
attention of the student govern-
ment, Gary Stanford has caused
the student government to face
the issues and answer the com-
plaints of the student body. With
more people in student govern-
ment like Gary Stanford the
effectiveness of student govern-
ment in representing the inter-
ests of the student body is bound
to increase.
With this kind of enthusiasm
and leadership student’s prob-
lems of all types can be resolved.
Better days are coming for the
students.
