Editorial:
Last semester a common complaint among teachers
concerned class attendance-or lack thereof.
As a result of poor class attendance many teachers
had to hand out failing grades-something that con-
trary to popular opinion they don't enjoy.
Even students who feel they have done well in a class
may find they received a lower grade than expected
because of absences.
Howard Payne's attendance policy is designed to en-
courage students to get the most of their classes by be-
ing in attendance to hear as much as possible of what is
being taught. But beyond that it is designed to teach
students the good habits of self-discipline and
responsibility.
Although certain classes may not be overly exciting
to some students the same will be true of various
aspects of any job those students may obtain in the
future. In the same way that students can cause
themselves to fail in school through absences chronic
absenteeism can result in the loss of working positions.
We aren't here merely to learn what is written in
books; school teaches us to think. It helps establish
self-discipline and prepares us for later life.
We must motivate ourselves to attend classes. We
must look beyond that extra hour of sleep and see how
we are shaping our future.

Letter:
Editor's note: As most faithful Yellow Jacket basket-
ball fans know Howard Payne 'sown Mike Stanard the
Stinger mascot accomplished a monumental feat last
Thursday when he rode some 82 miles from
Brownwood to Abilene Christian University prior to the
HPU-ACU basketball match-up.
But there's a second verse. This week Stanard has
presented an official letter of challenge to the ACU
mascot to bicycle from Abilene to HPU on Feb. 12 when
the Yellow Jackets play host to the ACU Wildcats. The
letter was sent to the editor of the ACU student
newspaper. A letter has also been sent to the Abilene
Reporter-News informing them of the challenge. The
following is a copy of the challenge issued.
Dear Editor
I am the Howard Payne University Yellow Jacket
mascot. On January 29 I rode a bicycle from
Brownwood to Abilene Christian University-a distance
of some 82 miles-as a demonstration of the undying
spirit of HPU students.
On February 12 the HPU Yellow Jackets will host
the ACU Wildcats in a conference basketball game. In
light of this and in the spirit of good sportsmanship I
am extending a public challenge to the Wildcat mascot
to demonstrate his or her school's spirit-or lack of it-
by attempting to bicycle from Abilene to HPU on the
day of the game. It should be noted that I rode the en-
tire distance while fully clothed in my mascot
costume; it would be fitting for your mascot to do
likewise IF he or she is able.
Looking forward to seeing you soon!
Sincerely
Michael Stanard
HPU Yellow Jacket mascot

Students usually gain
weight when they leave
home to go to college for
the first time. I've often
wondered why this was so.
Could it be that for no
reason a student's level of
metabolism suddenly
changes after he leaves
home? Doubtful. Maybe
it's that students get less
exercise at college than
they did while in high
school. Very doubtful.
Maybe this unsightly
gain could be attributed to
a wonderful institutional
cafeteria that serves food
that is simply too enticing
to resist. Impossible!
Putting aside all of the
above inconceivable no-
tions I can arrive at only
one reasonable answer:
candy machines.
Note the amount of push-
button sweets that are con-
sumed daily by your peers
and then seriously consider
purchasing stock in the
M&M candy company.
Not everyone falls victim
to the cellophaned cor-
pulence available at such
machines. It seems to be
limited to a certain drove
of willpowerless in-
dividuals. In the girls' dorm these
people are easily
recognizable. They'll be
the ones who rush out into
the hall when they hear
"Man on the floor!" yelled.
It's all too obvious that they
are hoping for Sammy
Davis Jr. or his
equivalent.. ."the candy
man." They are either hop-
ing that he will accidental-
ly drop a goody on the floor
that they might dive for or
they just want to scope out
the latest selections
available.
One thing I must say for
these girls though: they
have a sense of comradery
that is virtually
unbeknownst to most of the
rest of us.
For instance as I was
walking down my hall
recently a girl hereafter
referred to as Sally Stret-
chmark had tried to pur-
chase a pastry. But alas it
had gotten hung in the
machine as they so fre-
quently do.
Luckily two friends were
to be found only a few feet
away in the T.V. room.
In no time at all Sally and
the other two were tilting
the machine to and fro in
an attempt to shake loose
and rescue the dangling
carbohydrates. There
hasn't been that much con-
centrated effort exerted
since the building of the
Panama Canal.
Unfortunately this effort
proved futile for the goody
remained suspended. I
finally retreated to my
room after a few minutes of
watching a last-ditch effort
with a coat hanger. By
morning the munchy was
gone.
Isn't there an ap-
propriate saying to
describe such an event? Oh
yeah: A pastry saved is a
pastry earned.
