Double cuts, it says in the
catalogue, for absences im-
mediately before and after
holidays.
But what about people who
get cuts for trying to be there?
Shouldn't they be given more
consideration?
Mrs. Betty Oliver, elementary
education major from Comanche,
thinks so.
While driving the 30 miles
from Comanche to Howard
Payne Nov. 22, she was con-
fronted with a problem not for-
eign to most commuters—acci-
dent.
And she got cuts... and double
cuts.. . and bruises... and a
broken arm.

JOSE RIVAS
Receives promotion
Staff Promotion
Jose Rivas, a member of the
Howard Payne facility since
1956, has been promoted to as-
sociate professor of religious
education and Greek, it has
been announced by Dr. Forrest
Agee, academic dean.
Rivas is a graduate of Semi-
norio Teologico Bautista Tor-
reah of Mexico. He received his
BA degree from Howard Payne
in 1957 and his MRE degree from
Southwestern Baptist Theologi-
cal Seminary, Port Worth, in
1960. He has done further grad-
uate work at the same institu-
tion.
Rivas is well known for his
contributions to various Baptist
publications.
excused," she told tthe prof,
with a cast from shoulder to
wrist on her broken arm and
obvious lacerations and bruises
on her face.
"You'd better have a good
reason," he demanded.
Mrs. Oliver ended up bringing
in a statement from the attend-
ing physician, and everything
was squared away.
But it wasn't easy.
Then too, the weather pre-
sents a problem.
Mrs. Ruby Shuman, elemen-
tary education major from Prid-
dy, says icy weather is no time
to have a flat She had an 8
o'clock class, but there was no
way she could get at the spare
tire, for the entire car was
covered in an inch layer of ice.
Eventually a motorist stopped
and thawed the ice with his cig-
aret lighter. She made the class
and in time for roll call too.
Betty Bramlett, elementary
education major from Goldth-
waite; Mary Tubbs, psychology
major from Goldthwaite, and
Mrs. Bettie Black, elementary
education major from Lometa,
found that a slick highway
caused by misty weather will
bring together the irresistable
force—Mrs. - Black's car—with
the immovable object—a pick-up
loaded with hay. What did it
matter if they were late to
class—they were alive! Insult
was added to injury when the
prof announced' an 11 a.m. class
for those who like to sleep late.
The big snow was no problem
to Jim Gllmore, journalism stu-
dent from Cross Plains. He
caught up on his sleep. So did
Rex Bessent, freshman from
Mullin. But Mrs. Judy Hillman,
elementary education major
from Goldthwaite, and Mrs.
Peggy Lawson, elementary edu-
cation major from Mullin, were
not so fortunate. They had
tests that day. They had to be
here. They slipped in the ditch
five times, lost books and gloves.
But they made it and, what is
more, they passed their tests.
There are other problems, too.
Take car trouble, for instance.
Eddie Oliver and Wayne
Adams, freshmen students from
Winchell, had a stopped-up gas
line. When the car finally came
to a dead halt, it was in front of
Old Main. The time? One minute
'till eight o'clock.
Mrs. My ma Steward, elemen-
tary education major from
Coleman, had to buy a new car.
The old one—a 1963 Chevy—was
completely demolished when an-

other car drove in front of her
from a side-road.
Yes, commuters do have prob-
lems. But like the mailman,
"neither sleet nor snow nor rain
nor hail" will stop them from
getting that degree!

DEAR AUNT EXEY
Just Cleaned Out
DEAR AUNT EXEY: In my
dorm if my floor is dirty or my
bed unmade, there is a $1.00
charge for each offense. Now,
this is my idea. If the admini-
stration or the administration's
representatives can charge me
$1.00 for things of this nature,
why can't I, in turn, charge them
$1.00 a day for each day the hot
water is off and I can't bathe.
Please tell me how to collect
the back cash they owe me.
DIRTY
DEAR DIRTY: You have made
your point, so Pm going to take
the fifth amendment.
*****
DEAR AUNT EXEY: You're
not fooling me, Aunt Exey. You
took the fifth amendment be-
cause you're afraid to answer.
Well, I've got nothing to do with
this school, so I'm going to give
DIRTY an answer. Look, if you
want to get refunds on back
cash, you've got to get in there
and do a little back scratching,
that is, a little gold digging. Re-
member, if you need to pay a
bill-of-fare, then you've got to
get in your boss' hair.
HELPFUL
DEAR HELPFUL: You're
wrong. I took the fifth amend-
ment because I couldn't think of
a good answer. Thanks for the
assistance.

4,000 Volumes
Flood Library
More than 4,000 volumes have
been added to Walker Memorial
Library this year, according to
an announcement by Dr. For-
rest Agee, academic dean.
"Walker Library is fast be-
coming one of vast coverage in
all fields of learning," said Dr.
Agee. "For that reason, it should
be a great privilege for our
faculty and students to have use
of this beautifully housed and
wide-spread coverage media.
"Unfortunately, we have a few
steudents who are either neg-
ligent in checking books out
properly or else attempt to pro-
cure them by stealing: them."
Students leaving the library
reading room must check all
books at the desk, he explained.
He also pointed out the desk
clerk has authority to examine
brief cases, paper bags, note-
books or "any items which
might conceal books."
"Please do not require the
desk clerk to ask to examine
books or other items," he said.
"Make it a habit to be checked."
