WATSON'S WORLD—Dennis Watson, senior chemistiy major, in
a show of ambidexterity, displays two sides of his world—academics
and athletics. Them is another side-religion. These have combined
to r"nlr<* him the Yellow' Jacket's "Student of-the-Week.
POINT AND COUNTERPOINT
It's Up To Us
BY DONNA BETH HELD
A month and a half has pass-
ed since that fateful day when
John F. Kennedy was assassi-
nated. Apart from whatever
strengths or weaknesses he pos-
sessed as a President, his mag-
netic personality and tremen-
dous vitality as a person made
him perhaps the most popular
person on the modern political
scene.
It is fitting and proper that
the following excerpts from his
undelivered Dallas address
should be printed as an inspira-
tion and guide to us living in
these United States:
In a world of complex and
continuing problems, in a world
full of frustrations and irrita-
tions, America's leadership
must be guided by the lights of
learning and reason — or else
those who confuse rhetoric with
reality and the plausable with
the possible will gain the popu-
lar ascendancy with their seem-
ingly swift and simple solutions
to every world problem.
There will always be dissident
voices heard in the land, expres-
sing opposition without alter-
natives, finding fault but never
favor, preceiving gloom on every
side and seeking influence with-
out responsibility. Those voices
are inevitable...

We cannot expect that every-
one, to use the phrase of a de-
cade ago, will "talk sense to the
American people." But we can
hope that fewer people will
listen to nonsense...
We in this country, in this
generation, are — by destiny
rather than choice — the watch-
men on the walls of the world
freedom. We ask, therefore,
that we may be worthy of our
power and responsibility — that
we may exercise our strength
with wisdom and restraint—and
that wey may achieve in our time
and for all time the ancient
vision of peace on earth, good
will toward men. That must al-
ways be our goal — and the
righteousness of our cause must
always underlie our strength.
For as was written long ago:
"Except the Lord keep the city,
the watchmen waketh but in
vain."
These are fine words and
some that we all should remem-
ber. I think it necessary to
point out, however, that the
most appealing of all goals
mentioned,, peace in our time
"and for all time," is impossible
for one generation to achieve.
That is a state of being which
each generation must resecure
for itself. Unless this is remem-
bered, our children and our
grandchildren may try to rest,
as too many of us have, on the
bloodsoaked laurels of their
fortebears.
If life is worth living and if
peace is to be found in life,
then each man must struggle to
find it and fight to keep it —
and no man can fight for an-
other.

The Yellow Jacket Is published every Friday morning except iurtof
examination weeks, twfce a year, and holidays. Basically a studentpubfJcatlea
the paper Is under the auspices of Howard Payne Collage, Brownwood, Texas,
Watson-Student Of Week
There's an old philosophy for
success that says a person has to
be mature In three facets of
life—spiritual, mental and phy-
sical.
Whether he agrees with this
theory or not is beside the point,
but Dennis Watsqn, chemistry
major from Belton, lives in
these, three areas of life with
enough success that he has been
chosen the Yellow Jacket stu-
dent-of-the-week.
Watson, who came to Howard
Payne as a result of the efforts
of a former pastor, is a leader
on the campus in religion, aca-
demics and athletics.
Currently, the six-foot black-
haired senior is serving as presi-
dent of the religious organiza-
tion on campus which is re-
served only to athletes—Jack-
ets For Jesus.
"I believe a person needs a
belief in God," he said. "If you
have a belief in God, you have a
certain type of religion, and
that's important. Being here at
Howard Payne has helpedi ma-
ture my religious beliefs. The
atmosphere has helped me
greatly. However, I'd like to
point out that students should be
careful not to let this atmos-
phere make them immune to
Christianity."
Besides religious endeavors,
Watson is an outstanding leader
in other activities.
He is president of Alpha Chi,
vice president of Blue Key,
treasurer of the Student Sen-
ate, an active member in Gamma
Sigma Phi, and has recently been
recognized as one of Howard
Payne's contributions to Who's
Who In American Colleges and
Universities. ■,
With all these special dis-
tinctions, which for the most
part are reflections of his aca-
demic success, one might think
classroom success cothes easy for
Watson! Not so,
"I have made up for study
time lost in outside activities
and basketball by studying a lot
on weekends," he said.
He also pointed out he be-
lieves athletes use their lost
time in training as an excuse
for poor grades. He said he
thought with a little extra ef-
fort the athlete can succeed
oh and off the field of play.
Because of his 2.3 grade point
average and his love for chemi-
stry, Watson plans to go to
graduate school.
"I don't like to settle for
mediocrity," he declared. "I
want to get a Ph.ll in chemistry
to satisfy myself."
Besides religion and academ-
ics, Watson, who is a starter
on the basketball, team, also
stresses the importance of phy-
sical development.
"The Bible teaches you should
take care of your body—the
Holy Temple of God," he said.
"A person ought to have enough
pride in himself to be in some
kind of shape."
DEAR AUNT EXEY
Feels Like The End Of The Line
DEAR AUNT EXEY: I am in
bad shape... academicaly, that
is. Seems that all- semester I
have been putting off till to-
morrow what I should have
been doing yesterday. Well, now
I have term themes due, book
reports to get up and finals to
study for. I don't have time to
do it all. What should I do?
END OF ROPE
DEAR END OF ROPE: You
have a pathetic line. And if you
find a solution let me know.
You see, Pm In the same boat,
and I think It's got a hole In it.
I have no life line for either
one of us.
* * *
DEAR AUNT EXEY: Next
week, as you probably know, is
Dead Week on our campus. It's
a time when teachers are sup-
posed to be nice to us by not
giving us hard assignments and
tests. However, it seems they
never. adhere to these rules.
What can we do to make them
respect the rules?
DECEIVED BEFORE
DEAR DECEIVED BEFORE:
Teachers are like bosses. Even
if they don't do what they say
they will, you have to keep your
mouth shut. Besides, look at
their situation. Just like END
OF ROPE, they too have put
things off until there is no
time left... except Dead Week,
that is.

DEAR AUNT EXEY: Are the
letters you receive really from
students who go to Howard
Payne or do you just make them
up?
CURIOUS
DEAR CURIOUS: Do people
have tails?
