Cuties And Pygmies
Play Ball
By Pete Mitchell
Lamar Tech students are
in for a treat when Cam-
ille’s Cuties roll on'the
court against Pearlie’s
Pygmies Feb.2 at 10 a.m.
Camille's Cuties, pro-
bably the heaviest seated
team in the nation, is lit-
erally busting out of their
uniforms with enthusiasm
and vigor for a win over the
Pygmies.
The Pygmies, coached by
the'former All-American
Pearlie "Red” Grisham,
are riding a great winning
streak, their record being
0-0.
Although at^game time the
Cuties may outweigh the
Pygmies, with the sports-
writers it is felt that they
are sitting fat and pre.tty
for an upset.
Tickets for this great
classic can be purchased
from members of the sen-
ior class, who are spon

If you see a bunch of fellas around the campus with
five o'clock shadow from ear to ear, don't figure they
have lost their couth or razor blades. They are
primping for Western Week. Guess you girls sorta
feel that kissing a man with a beard will be like
smooching a curry-comb. Well, I've heard it said
that kissing a man without a mustache is like eating
eggs without salt. I know, who likes salt.
With Dead Week beginning Monday, I know most of
you will betaking on a sober attitude whenvou real-
ize that the shoutin' is over and the shootin' is about
to begin. I know it isn't a pleasant thought, but, then,
is every thought pleasant.
We've had a good time this semester. We’ve been
together in fight and fun. I've made some of you mad
and some of you have made me mad. Sometimes, we
even made each other laugh. I'm not trying to make
you laugh, now. I'm changing my tune just a little.
I'm going to get serious. I'm going to ask you to think
with me a moment.
"What about?" you ask. That's a good question.
What shall we think about? Life? Everybody thinks
about that, or do they? Anyway, that's such a trite
subject. Let's think about the President's State of
the Union Message. . .and national economics. Who
understands it? or how about Russia? Alright, I’ll
bite. . .how about Russia?
Perhaps, it would be easier to start with ourselves.
Maybe, we don't like it, but some time or other, we
are going to be forced to think about ourselves. Al-
right, what about ourselves? How about this? Who
are we? What are we? Why are we, or why aren't we.
Where have we been? Where are we going? Why?
How much time have we left, if any? Do our books
balance? Have we more debits than credits, or vice
versa? Whom do we owe? What would we do if we
knew we only had one day or one month to live? How
do we see ourselves when we look in the mirror?
All right, we've looked at ourselves. We've done a
little thinking, too. Now, let's try something that
some of us will enjoy a little more. Let’s look around
us. . .at the people around us. What do we see?
Friends? Enemies? Strangers? If either, why? Do
we accept them as a friend? Can we accept them as
a friend? What is a friend? Are we a friend? Is
Megarity nuts? Certainly. . ."point of order!"
Someone once asked the Lord for the power to see
himself as others saw him. I'll take some of that.

3#* KING
ON CONCEIT
By Morris Edelson
After class the other day
As I stumbled my home-
ward way
After dark my bed route
led
Beside a tower deserted.
I saw right angles, rectan-
gles, rivets, bars,
Sheet metal, plate metal,
and beyond, the stars.
(Scattered pieces of spar-
kle on a purple pall)
The tower seemed to reach
up as high as them all.
"As astra per aspera," I
thought with a grin,
"To the stars with effort"
and a little Latin.
But is this true? Can man
reach up,
Presuming at the table of
God to sup?
I looked at the tower, I
looked at the bars.
I thought of man and be-
yond, the stars,
This week marked an
other significant stride in
the progress of student
government.
In an effort to improve
student govern ment and
provide an adequate or-
ganization for the coming
years in view of anticipat-
ed growth in the student
body, representatives of
the Student Council, Inter-
club Council and Sorority-
F raternity Council are
considering changes in the
structure and functions of
the Interclub Council.
A proposal was intro-
duced to group clubs into
separate smaller councils
by type of activity, thereby
making Interclub a "coun-
cil of councils."
The organization of
smaller councils, it was
stated, would enhance the
activities of clubs with
respect to their specific
interests,but also improve
communications from In-
terclub to the individual
clubs.
Several meetings prob-
ably will be necessary to
work out all the many fac-
ets to this proposal, and we
hope to have the new sys-
tem worked out for student
approval by general elec-
tion time.
