unbeaten with an 89-86 victory.
After trailing by as much as 7
points in the game's late going
the Jackets pulled to within one

With 8 minutes left it was 29-24
for HPC and the Jackets

Senate resumes sessions
The Student Senate convened
for its first meeting of the Spring
semester in Fleming Religion
Center at 6 p.m. Tuesday night.
Mr. Hon Coker business
manager for HPC presented an
explanation for the delayed
demolition of the building
adjacent to Sid Richardson Hall.
While the doemolition is
definitely "not on the timetable
that we wanted" Cokcr explained
that everything possible was
being done to "free as much of the
parking lot as possible." Mr.
Coker cited bad weather during
the holidays manpower help and
difficulties in tearing down the
construction because of its age as
reasons for the delay.
On another topic. Coker
informed the Senate that washers
and dryers have been placed in
Taylor Hall with the same type of
installation slated for Sid
Richardson next summer as the
budget allows.
Terry Carter SA president
reported that as of the time of the
meeting no one had expressed an
interest in the new Program
Council offices.
Carter explained that most
schools h a v e a s e p a r a t e
organization from student
government that coordinates all
social and extracurricular
activities on their campuses. The
Program Council idea was
adopted by the dean of students
office and the Student
Association
Dean Myre stated that many
"needs of students are not being
met" with the present type of
social committee that works from
cither student government or the
BSU
The Program Council would
organize small group activity
type functions. The Council would
work through committees
providing speakers fine arts
activities films and many more
educational programs which
would better prepare the HPC
student for practical post
graduation experiences.
Carter and Dean Myre
expressed the hope that the
Program Council materializes
soon and said tht every new
endeavor must begin on a small
scale.
The resignation of two
cheerleaders was reported to the
Senate by Barbara Gibson. She
reported that both vacancies had
been filled with alternates.
Olynda Roberts of the social
committee reported that the BSU
will hold aparty after the game
tomorrow in the Gold Room of Sid
Richardson Hall

continentai-stylebreaktaston a trial basis only

Vicki Williams of the Food Committee said
that hours for the continental breakfast are from
8 a.m. to 8:45 a.m. Monday through Friday.

Miss Williams said that regular breakfast is
still being served at regular hours. She
emphasized that a student is allowed only one
breakfast per morning. Those eating a regular
breakfast are not entitled to a continental
breakfast.

which came in the first half and
the other Jacket guard Greg
Kogers was pushing Bullock with
18 points. The Jackets got the
better performance from the two
guards but the Bearkats were the
masters underneath the boards.
Howard Payne drew first blood
in the game as Rogers hit a basKet
with only 19 seconds having
elapsed but Kreier was quick to
score for the Bearkats with 18:50
remaining in the initial period.

game during the first half as he

game.
Harrell put the Paynemen
within five points as he hit two
points with just under nine
minutes left in the game. With

that HPC would havctogo with the
make or break full-court press to
have a chance to win. But Sam
Houston showed the poise and
confidence due a defending
national champ in slicing through
the defense with quick accurate
passes and adept bail control.
Kreier and Allen dominated the
shooting and the boards to help
build a 14 point lead with 2:30
remaining in thegame. And those

tough road trip for a re-match
with the much improved Tarleton
