WHAT HAPPENED IN SAN ANTONIO?
Big question on the campus this week was, “What hap-
pened in San Antonio?” And another just as big is, “Will it
happen again?”
Frankly, we do not think Trinity University has a team
that is 59 points better than the Cardinals. The Tigers had
won only one game before last week’s contest.
Neither do we think Lamar Tech is that bad. The Cards
did a great job of controlling the fancy Sam Houston Bear-
kats before tiring in the second half when depth of reserves
began to tell. They played inspired ball against Stephen F.
Austin, were great in trouncing Northwestern Louisiana and
fought a terrific battle against SLI.
East Texas had them overpowered and outmanned, but
they still fought all the way.
Trinity started early, rolled at ease, particularly on
passes, and the Cards couldn’t come close to stopping them—
or didn’t. And all but one Tech drive was halted.
Faculty Dance
In November
Lamar Tech’s chapter of the
College Classroom Teachers As-
sociation Tuesday announced a
faculty-staff dance to be given
Friday evening, November 14 or
21, date to be decided.
In their session, they also heard
an analysis of the legislative
program which has been adopted
by the state executive-, committee
of the CCTA for the forthcoming
session of the legislature.
The program asks for: 1) A 20
per cent increase in salary ap-
propriations for all state colleges;
2) That the current provision
that funds appropriated for in-
struction cannot be transferred to
other accounts be renewed, and
3) That librarians be paid from
instructional funds instead of ad-
ministrative, giving them an op-
portunity for academic advance-
ment.
Dr. C. A. Davis, head of the
department of social sciences,
outlined the legislative program.
He pointed out that the 20 per
cent increase is a total increase
in salary appropriations with the
college presidents to determine
which instructors are to receive-
raises or advancements in rank.
Dr. Richard Setzer, director of
the Business division and presi-
dent of the Lamar Tech CCTA
chapter, attended the executive
committee meeting which drafted
the legislative program.
Committee personnel to plan
the dance include Dr. Preston
Williams, Dr. Robert Mers, Miss
Isabelle Allen, Mrs. Jewel Blan-
ton, Miss Rosa Jean Tannahill,
Mrs. Norma Hall and Mrs. Jean
Dorrell.

Training Offered Students
Interested in X-mas Jobs
It must be heartbreaking to Coaches Stan Lambert and
J. B. Higgins to bum much midnight oil, plot strategy for
hours on end, accumulate scouting dope and then have to turn
a game over to a team that doesn’t put out its best effort.
Unless the Cardinals can regain the spirit they had
earlier in the season, we don’t see how they can win another
game.
There is no disgrace in losing. Somebody is supposed to
lose in every game. It is unfortunate when a team doesn’t
play the calibre of ball it is capable of playing.

THE STUDENT UNION
Student use of the Union Building at night, during the
four-week trial which ended this week, has been discouraging
to those who campaigned for night hours for the student re-
creation center.
This, perhaps, can be explained by the fact that since
most students do not live near the campus, it is not a con-
venient spot for evening social activities. If several hundred
students were housed in dormitories on or near the campus,
the building probably would have been used1 much more.
The Redbird hopes that evening hours can be continued.
Students who do live near the campus frequently have taken
advantage of the new hours. Many evening students found
it a convenient place to “chew the fat” between classes and
to meet riders after they were over.
It is true that the college’s campus, or near-campus, pop-
ulation of students probably does not justify evening hours
for the union at present. If it is deemed unwise to continue
evening hours just now, we hope the plan can be filed away
until such time as there are enough students on the campus
to justify such a program.
