NO GAIN—Don Townsend, power runner for the Southeastern
Oklahoma Savages, finds it no go as he tries to sweep his left end
in Saturday night’s game. Two unidentified Cardinals are shown
hauling him in as the Lamar defensive platoon turned in a stellar
performance. Tomorrow night the Cardinals take on another Okla-
homa crew, Southwestern Tech, at Greenie Stadium at 8 p.m.
COUNCIL PREXY
RESIGNS, FALL
ELECTIONS SET
Proof that Lamar has swung
into the fall semester in a big
way was the assembly yesterday
at which time it was announced
that Mickey Knobloch, President
of the Student Council, has re-
signed his office due to an extra
heavy schedule. Hugh Shuford,
sophomore representative elected
last spring, will serve as presi-
dent pro-tem until a new official
is elected.
According to Norris H. Kelton,
professor of chemistry and direct-
or of the science division, Septem-
ber 27 will be the deadline for
filing applications for the offices
of Student Council president,
vice-president, treasurer and two
freshmen representatives. On Sep-
tember 28, the candidates will be
introduced in assembly and the
primary election will be held on
October 4, followed up by a run-
off on October 6.
In order to fill the president’s
chair, a student must be a sopho-
more (30 semester hours) and
have at least a C average for the
preceding semester’s work. The
remaining positions require a C
average during the first, semes-
ter’s work.
Last Tuesday a faculty com-
mittee headed by Walter C. Min-
niear, Professor of music and
band director, selected a group
of students to try out before the
student body for the positions of
cheerleaders. Yesterday those stu-
dents were presented in assembly
and from them the Lamar cheer-
leaders for 1950-51 were elected.
Subscription Campaign for
'51 Annual Begins lAonday
A subscription campaign for
the 1951 Cardinal will begin
Monday, according to Business
Manager Celia Morgan. The
drive will continue through until
the Thanksgiving holidays.
During the drive, students may
purchase their 1951 college year-
book for $3.50, or $2 down, the
balance to be paid upon delivery
in May. The subscription price
will be raised to $4.50 after the
drive closes.
Students interested in earning
free annuals and a chance at a
cash prize are urged to contact
Miss Morgan or Prof. David Bost,
sponsor, in 202S.
Every student selling as many
as 20 yearbooks will receive his
copy free. Cash prizes will go to
the top three persons selling the
most subscriptions during the
sales campaign.
First prize will be $15, second
prize $10 and third prize $5.
Miss Morgan also is seeking
students to work as advertising
salesmen for this year’s annual.
Salesmen receive a 10 per cent
commission on all advertising
sold.

Miss Long, a former resident of

ligious and civic life.
When advised by Miss Long’s
attorney, Mr. Sam S. Roberts, of
the bequest, Dr. John Gray said,
“This is the largest single gift or
bequest which has ever been
made to this institution. It is a
very wonderful gift and expresses
clearly the desire of Miss Long to
aid worthy students to gain the
benefits of higher education. We
are most humble and grateful,
and we shall do everything with-
in our power to carry out the
wishes of our benefactor to the
minutest detail.”
On October 9 the gifts and en-
dowment committee of the Col-
lege will meet and will discuss
at this time with Attorney Rob-

LOOKS FAMILIAR, HUH?—Herds an old familiar scene to Lamar students by now, standing
in line for registration and to confer with Registrar Celeste Kitchen about programs of study. It was
all a necessary preliminary before this week's classes could begin. Students across the counter are,

Fall Semester Registration Climbs to 1089
Total enrollment through noon
Wednesday, final deadline for
this week’s Redbird, was 1089
students, Miss Celeste Kitchen,
registrar, announced.
The figure is approximately 50
higher than last year’s enroll-
ment and yet may reach the pre-
dicted 1100 students by the time
the last student is allowed to
register today.
Today is the last day for
registration for credit, and
also is the final day for
adding courses to present
schedules.
Of the total enrollment through
Wednesday, 962 were signed for
courses in the Liberal and Fine
Arts, Business and Science di-
visions and 127 in the Vocational
division, Miss Kitchen said.
Lamar’s enrollment is expected
to increase annually as the four-
year program of Lamar State Col-
lege of Technology advances.
Next year the college becomes
a reality with the addition of the
junior class. The senior class will
be added in 1952 and first gradu-
ates will receive degrees in the
spring of 1953.
