ROSES TO THE DESERVING
The Cardinal doesn’t believe in passing out llowers
promiscuously, nut preters to hand them out only when and
it there is ample cause. The Cardinal feels, nowever, that
large bunches ot the choicest blossoms are in ortier tor tne
governing body of Lamar College—the South Park Board ot
Education. There are many reasons, but above atT tor pro-
viding a separate home tor Lamar Coilege.
Those of us who were students at namar when it was
a third-story high school with neither buildings nor campus to
which it could legitimately lay claim appreciate the foresight
and energy which made our present separate college| plant
possible. The Cardinal knows that this change has made a
new Lamar spirit possible, and that the way is cleared for
real advancement.
The Cardinal believes that it voices the sentiment of the
student body of Lamar' College in extending thanks for our
new home.
NIGHT FOOTBALL AT LAMAR
With the rapid rise of night football and its success over
the country there has_been considerable discussion as to in-
stalling the arcs at Lamar.
Arguments both pro and con may be advanced in connec-
tion with the project. The night games have gained the popu-
lar approval of ardent fans and they have proven a valuable
drawing card, being convenient to attend.
The Lamar Cardinals during the past two years of football
have proven their ability. They have passed through two suc-
cessful seasons and have established a reputation over the
sttae of Texas' in football since their entrance into the junior
college race.
Nevertheless, tlje decision rests with an authority higher
up. Night football has become a part of the play but its
appearance at Lamar College is the desire of all concerned.
A SPRING CELEBRATION AT LAMAR
While Lamar is yet a young college, it is one with
great possibilities. During the few years of its noble efforts
to become one of the leading junior colleges in the state of
Texas and the South, it has laid the foundation of many future
traditions.
Lamar, aspiring toward the prestige of other, much
older colleges and universities, has need of some type of
annual spring celebration; a formal spring carnival.
A day should be set aside in the spring of each year,
preferably in May, when all the various departments col-
laborate in the presentation of a huge out-door pageant. This
of course, would be open to the public. One year this might
be a historic pageant, in which the Dramatics and Music De-
partments with the Band and Art Departments take parts.
At other times one of the old morality plays, a Greek drama,
or Shakespearian out-door plays might be given.
Lamar has a great future and should build up tradition
toward that future. Vassar has the famous “Daisy Chain”,
Michigan its “Cherry Blossom Carnival,” and C. I. A. and
other colleges have performances of this kind. Lamar cannot
be allowed to lag behind. _

Cardinal Plays
For Next Year
Nexit scholastic year will be
the second of the existence of
the Lamar Cardinal. At the be-
ginning of that year an Editor
and Associate Editor will be
elected. The editor will name
the staff from a list of students
making known, to the proper
authorities, their interest in
journalism.
The staff,will operate under
a slightly different systenj than
has prevailed during the cur-
rent ye?r._A large number of
the present staff will be eligi-
ble for service next year.
The Cardinal itself will, in
all probability be a much larg-
er newspaper next year than
this one. It is planned to have
the paper appear bi-weekly,
nstead as at present.
