Students Appraise Hawkins Week
Is Sadie Hawkin's Week be-
neath the dignity of a college
student? Many Howard Payne
students believe that it is an
activity which lowers the dig-
nity of the school, while others
say that it is good fun that
breaks the monotony of the
academic year.
Elaine Butherford, freshman:
"I know it is a tradition so I
guess it's valuable, but since I
have never taken part, I really
can't judge."
Montie Martin, sophomore:
"It does look silly, but being
silly is part of college life. It
any tradition is worth keeping,
this one is."
Bill Dunham, sophomore: "I
think that anything that adds
to college life is good. Some
traditions may seem silly, but
they add to the college spirit."
Judy Teal, junior: "I do not
approve of the freshman girl's
race, but I like the opportunities
to meet new boy's."
Carroll Duke, senior: "I think
it's a good reprieve from that
which has become accepted as
the usual: Also since it only
comes once a year it does not
get old. Some parts of the week's
activities are very silly and
childish, but if these were the
only silly and childish things we
thought or did, we would be
well off."
Joan Scott, freshman: "I think
it's good clean fun. It's good for
a college to have things like

: List Of Rules
Governs Week
I1M i
MOMENT OF TRUTH
In one of the tender moments of their harsh life in a shabby attic
apartment, jimmy Porter, played by Nolan Kennedy, and his wife,
Allison Porter, played by Lynda Scott, are pictured in a scene from
the College Theatre production of John Osborne's "Look Back In
Anger," which opened a three-night run Thursday In Coggin
Theatre.
Look! Up in the sky. It's a
bird. It's a plane. It's superman?
No, you simpleton, it's a
Howard Payne male student,
and he's up in a tree because
Sadie Hawkins Week is coming.
Traditionally a feature event
of the college year since who
knows when, the annual event
Will open for its 1964 edition at
Howard Payne Monday.
For five rollicking days, fe-
male students will play hide and
seek with the male population
of the student body. During that
time, almost all will be "fair in
love and war."
However, for the protection of
the "weaker sex" (whichever
that is) and for the peace-of-
mind of a few persons in high
places, the following rules have
been established:
1. Monday will be "dress-up"'
day with all students, regardless
of classification, participating.
All dressing should be within
the bounds of decency, with
"girls as girls and boys as boys."
2. The Freshman Bace will
begin at 7:15 a.m. Athletes will
be on hand to assist freshmen
women in catching "their man."
There will be no use of campus
buildings. All phases of the race
will be on the outside.
3. Women must walk the boys
they catch to at least one class
and have one date with them
during the week.
4. Each woman must have
dates with five different boys
during the six-day period.
5. The date-tickets will be

Clinic Planned Saturday
With the music to be taught,
interpreted and demonstrated by
the voice faculty of Howard
Payne, a solo vocal clinic will
be held in Mlms Auditorium
from 9:30 a.m. through 12 noon
Saturday.
Scheduled to conduct class
voice lessons are William B.
Anders, professor" of music; Ivan
W. Baugh, choral director, and
Sara G. Baker, instructor of
music. , , .•
Three classes will be taught,
and students have been asked
to bring their own music.
In class I, Anders will teach
"Kitty, My Love Will You Mar-
ry Me?" and "I Must Down to
the Seas Again." Also in Class
I, Mrs. Baker yrl\l give instruc-
tions for "Come Unto These Yel-
low Sands" and "The Lotus
Flower."
Anders and Mrs. Baker will
that."
Pat Burleson, graduate: "I
have never cared for this sort of
thing, I certainly don't think it
is suited for young people of
college age."
Kay Homsley, freshman: "Ac-
tivities like Sadie Hawkin's
Week lower the dignity, of a stu-
dent, but they do serve one pur-
pose; they keep life from getting
dull."
Larry Crisman, senior: "Men
run governments, men fight
wars. Women shouldn't mind
Sadie Hawkins Week."
Charlotte Hudson, sophomore:
"I think that it is fun and
worthwhile because it gives
girls the change to go with new
boys."
Bill Harper, senior: "I don't
mind the girls paying their way
once in a while, but that Monday
morning race disturbs my sleep.
The minority who are partic-
ipating should be more consid-
erate of the majority who are
sleeping and not make so much
noise."
'Look Back In Anger'
Set For Second Run
Look Back In Anger," a Howard Payne College Theatre
production, will be presented for the second time tonight in
Coggin Chapel Theatre.
Starting at 8 o'clock, the production is also scheduled for
a performance Saturday night, with admission set at $1 for
adults and 50 cents for students.
Written by John Osborne, who lias gained world-wide at-
tention as one of the most provocative present-day English
writers, the story is built around Jimmy Porter, a young man
who looks back in anger because he has no incentive to look
ahead.
Failure to find himself in his own generation, and resent-
ment that he is unable to do so, cause Porter to make life im-
possible for persons he loves most.
"Look Back In Anger" is also an intimate look at the lives
of a young married couple caught between two worlds, Porter
and his wife, Allison, live in a tempestuous life in a shabby
apartment, and are deeply dependent on each other.
Nolan Kennedy, junior from Klammath Falls, Ore., has
been cast in the leading male role, while Lynda Scott, junior
from San Antonio, is slated to portray Allison, the leading fe-
male character.
Others included in the cast are James Hagood, Fort Worth
sophomore, as Cliff Lewis; Donnna Beth Held, Brownwood
senior, as Helena Charles, and James Harris, Waco freshman,
as Colonel Redfern.
Directing the production is Alex Reeve, associate professor
of speech. Pamela Williams, sophomore from San Antonio, is
serving as the assistant to the director,
Beanies, Elections, Hawkins
Talked Bu Student Senators
also teach selections in Class II.
"When I Have Sung My Songs,"
"He's Gone Away" and "Thev
Florion Song" will be demon-
strated by Mrs. Baker. Anders

ing."
In Class III, Baugh is sched-
uled for four selections. He will

Bird Singing."
Freshman beanies, election
procedures and Sadie Hawkins
Week were discussed by the Stu-
dent Senate at their regular
meeting Tuesday.
Carl Young suggested that a
committee be formed to study
the advisibility of changing the
color of freshman beanies to
school colors instead of the tra-
, ditlonal green and gold.
The procedure of setting up
election dates was questioned by
the senate. Senator Harris an-
nounced the deadline for filing
for Student Offices had been
postponed until Friday at 5
o'clock.
Senator Under hill then
brought out the point that filing
was not supposed to start until
March, and he suggested Sena-
tor Harris and his election's
committee had acted Without the
authority of the constitution.
The senate passed a resolu-
tion to send the question to the
Constitution Interpretation Com-
mittee for solution.
Sadie Hawkin's Week plans
were announced, including plans
for a Kangaroo Court on Friday.
President Duke urged all stu-
dents to participate and enjoy
