HP Students
Show Dislike
For Hawkins
Howard Payne students don't want Sadie Hawkins Week.
They proved this when seven boys appeared for the
Freshman Race and three people bothered to participate in
Dress-up Day.
The handbook classifies Sadie Hawkins Week as a tra-
dition in which all students are expected to participate. Here
are some of the rules and how well they were followed.
1. Monday will be "Dress-up" day with all students, re-
gardless of classification, participating. Jaque Looney, Ron
Beberniss and Judy Franks looked a little forlorn among the
1,013 well-dressed students.
2. The Freshman race will begin at 7:15 a.m. Athletes will
be on hand to assist freshman women in catching "their man."
The girls and the athletes weren't interested enough to get out
of bed. Lucian Stohler, Andy Brown, Berry Prestridge, Ren
Adams, Wayne Malvern, Tim Yarbro and Ron Beberniss found
they had polished their track shoes for nothing.
3. Women must walk the boys they catch to at least one
class and have one date with them during the week. It looks
like the seven boys will not get a free date after all.
4. Each woman must have dates with five different boys
during the six day period. The girls are dating who they want
to when they want to.
5. The date tickets will be collected at chapel time on
Friday. Women must bring either the signed tickets or a 25 cent
fine for each unsigned ticket to chapel Friday. Women students
with neither tickets or money will be called on in "Kangaroo
Court." As of Tuesday, no date cards had been distributed
and Kangaroo Court, if held as still scheduled at Yellow Jacket
presstime, was the first real indication that Sadie Hawkins week
even
6. Monday, after chapel, all students should leave by the
front doors to enable judges to view all costumes for the con-
test. Awards for the "best-dressed" man and woman will be
presented in Kangaroo Court. If the judge had showed up,
he would have found the field rather narrow.
Sadie Hawkins Week was a farce. The student opinion poll
taken last week proved one thing. Students thank Sadie Hawkins
Week is great fun — for someone else.
Beanies, Elections, Hawkins
Talked By Student Senators
Freshman beanies, elections
and Sadie Hawkins Week were
again the topics of discussion at
the weekly Student Senate meet-
ing Tuesday night
Vice-president Young has
been investigating the possibil-
ity of beanies in HPC's school
colors instead of the traditional
green and gold. After talking
with Mr. Marshall, manager of
the bookstore, Young discovered
that blue and gold beanies would
be easy to obtain.
He also found that the school
has $37.50 worth of green bean-
ies in stock. If colors are chang-
ed, Young recommended that the
price of each beanie be raised
15 cents to absorb the loss. Sen-
ator Kennedy suggested that it
would be unfair to charge next
year's freshman for the change.
He recommended that the sen-
ate absorb the loss.
Senator Kennedy also brought
out the point that many schools
do have green beanies instead
of their school colors. He ques-
tioned whether students wanted
to make the change to blue and
gold. Acting on the suggestion
of President Duke, the senate
decided to submit the matter to
the student body to find their
opinion.
Elections were held today, but
the Constitution Interpretation
Committee has decided that it is
unconstitutional to set up filing
and election dates.
Senator Underbill stated that
according to the handbook, peti-
tions for Student Association
offices cannot be filed before
March 1. Since all petitons for
Student Association offices had
been filed after that date, there
is no question about the legality
of today's elections.
Lack of enthusiasm for Sadie
Hawkins Week was discussed by
the senate. The senate discussed
whether the apathy concerning
the week was due to lack of
spirit or whetther it was an in-
dication that the students sim-
ply do not want the week.
There weren't many, but she got her man.
Six Members
Inaugurated
By Blue Key
The Howard Payne Chapter of
Blue Key, a national honor fra-
ternity for juniors and seniors,
met Tues. night, Feb. 25, at
Todd Hall.
The principal order of busi-
ness was the initiation of six
new members — Paul Black-
stock Carl Young, Larry Cris-
man, Bruce Harris, Nolan Ken-
nedy and Vic Morgan.
Members of this highly selec-
tive group must be recognized
leaders and maintain a high
academic rating. Four-fifths of
the active membership must
agree on the selection of any
recommended individual before
membership is granted.
With these new additions,
Howard Payne now has 22
members in this two-year-old
chapter.
Blue Key members are cur-
rently concerned with the ex-
pansion of the Howard Payne
library and are pledged to do-
nate one book per semester to
this end. It is anticipated that
other campus dues-paying or-
ganizations will soon follow
suit
Books are selected from a
tentative list compiled by the
various departments.
