Parking Is At A Premium
Parking space at Lamar is at a premium! It seems
that each week it becomes more and more difficult to
find a parking place within a block of the class build-
ings.
As a result I have heard a great deal of opinion ex-
pressed. For those expressers of opinions may I say
that what they are gaining in more and better physical
facilities for learning is far more important than the
fact that they may have to walk the entire length of
two blocks.
Compare our parking with many of the other schools
in the state of Texas, and lam sure you will agree we
are pretty well off. There are many of our brother
and sister colleges and universities where under-
classmen are not even allowed to have an automobile
on campus; and, at the University of Texas, under-
classmen are not allowed to have a car in the county
unless their residence is there.
I think we should be extremely grateful that our park
ing situation is as good as it is. How much would Uni-
versity of Texas students give if they could park as
close to their classes as the speech department park-
ing lot on our campus is to the other buildings housing
Let us then not in thoughts or words condemn the
administration or the situation which makes it nec-
essary for us to walk two blocks. Rather let us ex-
press our gratitude at their foresight in the expansion
program which is making it possible for more and
more students to be accomodated in our new air con-
difmhed buildings ■
George ’ Begins Last
Nap At 8:15 Tonight
Slept Here" goes into its
last performance tonight
at 8:15 upstairs in the un-
ion building. At the dead-
line of The Redbird tickets
were still available in the
union at the counter.
First produced in Octo-
ber, 1940, and later taken
to Hollywood as a movie
starring Jack Benny and
Percy Kilbride, "George"
is being presented in inti-
mate or theatre-in-the-
round style here at Tech.
"George" chronicles the
trials and tribulations of a
blundering little man who
craves and gets his place
in the country, only to find
that it is windowless, wat-
erless and almost roof-
less.
NOTICE TO RS&S
A meeting to elect new
officers for the Red Shirts
and Skirts will be held
April 17. At the last meet-
ing a new constitution was
adopted and plans made for
two socials.
The cast working under
the direction of Charles
Lane is doing an excellent
job of bringing top enter-
tainment to Tech students.
Included in the cast are
Curtis Prince, Betty Sue
Mangano, Sam Havens,
Henry Parsons, Elsie
Whiddon, Lawrence Sch-
kade, Vera Crain, Mona
Doughtry, Marilyn Brown,
Ed Perry, Howard Burris,
Billie Marie Cooper, Jean
Craig, Pat Lennon, John
Quinn and Tom Hellwig.
The theatre-in-the-round
style of presentation
places the seating of the
audience on all sides of the
stage. This establishes a
closer, more intimate re-
lationship between the ac-
tors and the audience.

By Marvin Jones
The Religious Side ex-
tends its congratulations
to the Newman Club this
week, an organization
which has contributed
much to the Lamar Tech
campus.
The Newman Club of La-
mar was chartered in 1950
with amembership of
about 20 and has grown to
approximately 100. It was
formed to weld together a
union of the Catholics on
the campus and to aid them
spiritually, scholastically
and socially.
The executive branch
consists of Leo DeCoux,
president; Roland Rich-
ards, vice president; Luc-
ille Bourgeois, recording
secretary;Jeanette Ederly,
corresponding secretary;
Esther Morvant, treasur-
er. Others are Howard
(Buddy) Boutte.Jean Sacker,
Larry Warren.
Pat Sparacino, Emile
(Sunny) Provost. The club
chaplain is the Rev. Jack
Davis and sponsors are
Warren N. White and Dr.
H. H. Yang.
The Newman Club attends
Mass and Communion in a
body on the first Sunday of
each month. The regular
meetings are held on the
second and fourth Wednes-
day of each month. This
group takes part in many
campus activities.
Delegates are sent to the
Province Executive Com-
mittee meetings and to the
Province Convention; also
delegates are sent to the
NNCF Convention.
The Club expects to con-
struct a large Student
Center in the near future
on the same location as the
present center is located
at 1010 E. Virginia.
Cavaliers
Win Game
The actives of the Cava-
liers accepted a challenge
from the pledge class to
play a softball game, and
defeated the pledges 7-5.
Student Body President
Lawrence Schkade stole
the show with a "peg" from
left field to cut off a runner
at home plate.
Sunday afternoon the
Cavaliers are planning an
outing with the pledges.
The purpose of the outing
will be for the pledges to
become better acquainted
with thei-r big brother s ,and
to famaliarize the pledges
with their duties and obli-
gations .
A song festwill close the
activities Sunday._

Congratulations to the Faculty. With skill and dex-
terity all over the court, you literacy walked away
from the Varsity basketball team. It was plain to see
that you had the Varsity outmanned, and outwomaned,
too. High point man for the fracas was Mr. David
"left field" Bost.
It was good to see such a turnout for the Dr. Vaughn
Memorial Walking Blood Bank. I tip my hat to the
Sorority-Fraternity Council. Keep up the good work.
I think he would be proud.
Pledges! Sorority and fraternity pledges! That was
a mighty fine dance you all gave last Friday night. The
floor show v/as especially enjoyable. Maybe more of
such things will make for not such a hellish He
Or did you have that in mind?
l Hell Night.
"George Washington Slept Here," or so Mr. Charles
Lane says. If you don't believe it, be sure and see it.
Tonight is the last night. Mr. Lane has done it again.
Another first for Lamar. The play is presented as
"theatre in the round." Generally unusual these days,
but highly entertaining. You feel almost as if you were
on stage with the* actors. For a new experience, be
sure to see "George Washington Slept Here" tonight.
A box of cigars and a bucket of beer to Butch Baird.
That's keeping the ole Cardinal up there. Butch won
the Border meet in golf this last weekend with a 140,
four under parr, for 36 holes. Congratulations, Butch.
Better luck next time, fellas. Maybe Butch will give
you a cigar,
A box of cigar s to Mr. Galloway and Mr. Condon. We
sure do appreciate the jukebox in the cafeteria. It is
nice to have music with your meals. Sort of "a la
Stork Club."
Thnaks again to all of you for your nice comments
on my column last week. It was nice of you to let me
know you enjoyed it. I agree with you. We should
think along those lines more often.
Tomorrow is St. Patrick's Day. And shurrrre, it'll
be a foine day for the Irish. And a blarney stone to
you, too.
