Academy Officials Give Vow
What's
In A Name?
What's in a name?
Consider a few of your
friends' names — Paul Black-
stock, for instance. There's
something animal about his
name . . .
Then there is Jerry Crossland
—sounds like he's going places.
Karon Freeman — sort of
patriotic...
Royce Hendrick — can't see
anything peculiar about this
one? Looks are often deceiving.
Hendrick, a sophomore mathe-
matics student from Shamrock*
has more in his name than
meets the eye.
"When I was a little squirt,
people called me Butch," re-
called Hendrick. "That was so
far back I don't remember why
they called me that."
One thing he does remember,
however, is that Butch was the
beginning of a series of nick-
names which still exists today.
"Things drifted along till I
was in high school," he said.
"I was in the school choir and
there was a bass singer in there
that started calling me Fuzsy.
It seems about that time I was
getting a little fuss on my
chin...
"Then I started working in
a grocery store, and X was about
a foot taller than everybody
else, so they started calling me
Shorty...
"After that, I switched jobs
and started working on a pipe-
line," he continued. "The guys
started calling me Slim and
Red. Don't know what the con-
nection was...
"Motor-mouth was next, on
the account of I learned to make
like a diesel motor while work-
ing for the railroad... then
there was Spider. I played a
little intramural basketball to
get that one...Next there was
Gatewood. Gatewood was a
freshman who dropped out of
school...
"The latest one has been
Lambie Pie. I got that one
when I did 'Six Spasms" in the
BSU All-College Sing. It came
from the third: or fourth stanza
of the act called 'The Little
Lamp Stomp'."
Directors of the Douglas Mac-
Arthur Academy of Freedom
Corp. Saturday pledged to do-
nate and raise $35,000 for ad-
ditional construction on the
academy building and appoint-
ed a steering committee for a
campaign to enlist statewide
support for the project.
Architect Frank Dill of Hous-
ton told directors in their Sat-
urday meeting in the Holiday
Inn that work was to be com-
pleted within a few days on the
second stage of renovation for
the academy building, the for-
mer administration building of
Daniel Baker College, which is
located on Austin Ave.
Faced with a three-story "wall
of light," a new entrance, cost-
ing approximately $25,006, haa
been built by this work.
Previous to this, the building
had been re-roofed at a cost of
$6,625.
Work is being done on a "pay-
as-you-go" basis, with Bennett
and Forbess, Inc., of Brownwood
serving as contractor.
Directors Saturday also au-
thorized Dill and the contractors

HPC Coach Seeks
Students' Support
Mentor Shows
Desire To Win
BY BILL HARPER
Yellow Jacket Sports Editor
"We came to win." These were
the words spoken by Joe James
Howard Payne's newly appoint-
ed football coach. He along with
his first assistant Jerry Mill-
sapps are looking positively at
the job that lies ahead of them.
Concerning the task ahead
James had this to say: "We
have a hard job and a lot of
work ahead of US." Coach
James also pointed out that
much of a team's success de-
pended on the help the student
body was able to give it
From a tactical standpoint,
James said, "We are going to
run a "T" formation offense."
Both James and Millsapps are
Howard Payne graduates and
have signed three year contracts.
James comes from LaVega
High School where he served for
four years as head coach. Prior
to this he had served one year
as line coach at Hamilton High
School.
Millsapps, first assistant and
backfield coach comes from
Lampasas High School where
he served as backfield coach for
three years. Previous to this he
spent three years as coach of
Lee Junior High School in San
Angelo.
Newly appointed athletic di-
rector Glen Whitis was happy
about his first act as athletic
director. Said Whitis "These men
are young and eager to work,
they know football; we fdel
very fortunate to have them join
our staff."
James succeeds H. N. (Rusty)
Russell, who resigned, effective
March 1, to re-enter retirement
after helping out his alma mater
for two years.
James lettered three years as
a tackle for the Yellow Jackets,
after lettering as a guard his
freshman year at West Texas
State College. He was team cap-
tain of the Yellow Jackets his
junior and senior years, was
Little All American his senior
year and was named to the All-
Texas Conference team three
years.
Millsapps, who lettered on the
freshman team at Texas Tech
in 1952, lettered three years as
quarterback at Howard Payne,
where he also played freshman
basketball. He was named to the
all-Texas Conference team two
years and made the all-Texas
College team one year.

Carroll Duke Asks Improvement
From Representation By Students
Request that student leaders
be "prompt and thorough" in
their representation was made
by Carroll Duke, president of
the Student Senate, Tuesday
night
In view of what he termed
"increasing negligence of stu-
dent leaders and representatives,
especially in the Student Sen-
ate," Duke made this appeal in
an interview with the Yellow
Jacket editor after the regular
session of the Student Senate
in Fleming.
"I think it is deplorable action
on the part of elected repre-
sentatives when a scheduled
meeting has to be postponed as
a result of lack of quorum due
to their absence or failure to
appear on time," he exclaimed.
"I understand that classes,
sickness and athletic participa-
tion sometimes necessitates late
starts, but I'm convinced that
the primary problem with this
school's Senate—and other or-
ganizations—is failure of rep-
resentatives to realize their re-
sponsibilities as elected of-
ficials," he said.
Duke also called for investi-
gations by classes into the rea-
sons for tardiness and absent-
ism on the part of representa-
tives of campus organizations,
especially the Senate.
"The classes elect all voting
officers of the Senate except the
executive officers which are
elected by the student body,"
he explained.
"In past weeks, much has been
said about lack of participation
of students in their student
government," he said. "I have
something to say concerning the
action of some elected officials:
Student government at its best
is a difficult task and at its
worst is almost an impossibility.
Unless all elected officials, along
with the populate, work un-
ceasingly together, the task of
student government is over-
whelming."
