Frontier College Offers
Opportunities to Grads
Hey, all you young, hardy,
healthy male Lamar grads
who are interested in
teaching and who are not
afraid of work, here's a
new angle on the black-
board profession.
Frontier College in Ca-
nada, literallya college in
the rough, offers a chal-
lenge to education majors.
But there’s a catchl
To find Frontier College,
you would have to seek out
some 250 lumber, mining,
fishing, and railway
camps, from one side of
Canada to the other. The
entire expanse of Canada's
frontier is this college's
campus.
In these camps you would
find some 7,000 hard-
working men, their day's
labor done, sitting down to
learn to read and to write,
and to begin to feel some
of the culture of Canada.
Working with these husky
chaps are some 65 equally
husky young teachers who
have attended more ortho-
dox colleges. They, too,
will have put in a full day,
b e f o re hitting the books.
Every year graduates and
undergraduates of Ameri-
can and Canadian univer-
sities go out to the several
hundred working camps of
Frontier College. A
teacher, according to ad-
vance publicity, "must
accept whatever job is of-
fered him, in any place to
which he may be sent in
Canada. If necessary, the
laborer-teacher must ac-
cept the toughest, the low-
est-paid job in the gang,
and, in addition to working
his eight to ten hours dai-
ly in the gang, he must in
his off-duty hours teach
reading, writing, and cit-
i z e n snip to all who want
them."
Faculty Club Plans
New Year’s Dance
A Pro-tem Committee,
consisting of Dr. Robert V.
Andrews,Dr. TedSkinner,
Dr. Robert Nossen, Mr.
William H. Matthews and
Mr. Lawrence D. Bell, has
drawn up a tentative con-
stitution for a new faculty
social club of Lamar.
"Lamar Tech Faculty
Dance Club" is the tena-
tive name of this social
organization. A buffet sup -
per and dance will be held
in Lamar’s cafeteria on
New Year's Eve as the ini-
tial session for this group.
Reservations for this af-
fair must be made by Dec.
18, and may be made
through any committee
member.
After the initial meeting
the group plans to get to-
gether once a month for
dinner and dancing. Three
of the yearly sessions will
be guests nights to which
local guests may be in-
vited .
For additional informa-
tion contact any member
of the Pro -tern Committee.
In spite of the fact that a
Frontier College post is a
bleak prospect viewed
against many well-paid
jobs in industry, each year
about 200 students com-
pete for one of the 65 back-
breaking, unglamorous
and poorly paid jobs in the
Canadian wilds.
A teacher who succeeds
in brightening the lives of
these frontiersmen,brings
back to his university a
knowledge far more pre-
cious than his learning: A
knowledge of the sore
trials, the rugged strength,
and the unsatisfied long-
ings of these simple, un-
known and unremarkable
men, who are, and always
have been, the builders of
great nations.
Frontier College does not
have classrooms or exam-
Alpha Chi Omega
Plans Dorm Gifts
The Alpha Chi Omega So -
rority will meet Monday
night in the home of Deanne
Daigle to make Christmas
stockings for Lamar's
dorm students who will not
be able to go home for
Christmas. Gifts will be
exchanged between mem-
bers.
Holiday activities will be
climaxed with a dance for
members and their dates
on Dec. 26. Barbara Brad-
ley and Jane Swartz are in
charge of making plans.
All Alpha Chi Omega col-
lege girls who are in the
area over the holidays are
invited to the dance at the
Mont Leon Hall,
inations, and it does not
give degrees, but it does
nave a headquarters-in
Toronto-and a president,
Eric Robinson, a McGill
University graduate.

A PLEASANT PRESENT like cartons of Luckies can make /L
a dolly jolly or a pappy happy. And they’re just the
things to cheer up a glum chum or a gloomy roomie.
So the guy who gives loads of Luckies, of course, is a
Proper Shopper. He appreciates Luckies’ better taste—
the taste of mild, good-tasting tobacco that’s TOASTED
to taste even better—and he knows others appreciate
it, too. How ’bout you? Give loads of Luckies yourself!
