Clair Makes Appeal
BY JOAN GRATES
Yellow Jacket Editor
This week Martha St Clair,
Director of Student Activities
and Promotion, took students to
task about their poor conduct
in assembly.
"The quality of assemblies
this year has been consistently
high, and students should! show
their appreciation for this ex-
cellence by giving the scheduled
assembly program their un-
divided attention," said Miss St.
Clair. "It i& a dismal view from
the speakers stand when all the
students have their faces buried
in books and papers."
This year assembly programs
are planned by a special chapel
committee which selects speak-
ers and programs that will be
informative and interesting to
Howard Payne students.
This committee is composed
of four faculty members and
two students. Faculty members
include Mrs. Elva Dobson, Act-
ing Head of the English Depart-
ment; Euel Belcher, Assistant
Professor of Music; Dr. Jane
Carroll, Head of the Department
of Elementary Education and
Dr. Forrest Agee, Academic
Dean.
Sharon Johnson and) Jerry
Crossland are student members
of the committee.
This committee, which wa$
formed during the past sum-
mer, has made many changes
designed to improve the -10
o'clock assembly, Miss St Clair
said.
These improvements include
changing the name of the chapel
period to assembly, providing
music fron? the time the first
student has arrived until the
opening of the program and
naming the head of the
chapel committee to secure the
person who is to preside in as-
sembly.
Assemblies follow no set rou-
tine, and when the choir is used,
they have the opportunity for
at least two numbers.
The Monday academic pro-
grams are for faculty or other
outstanding people to speak to
the students. A lay person pre-
sides Monday, and the whole
period is designed to make stu-
dents think, Miss St Clair said.
On Wednesday, chapel is
strictly of a worship nature, and
students shbuld be in a reverent
mood when they enter the audi-
torium. Although the chapel set'-'
vice is religious, it does not
necessarily have to be a preach-
ing service, she said.
Friday's assembly programs
are generally student prOgr&ns,
except in the case of an out-
standing speaker available on
that day.
POINT AND COUNTERPOINT
It seeihs that with the passing
of the incomparably great Doug-
las MacArthur an era in our
country's history is growing
closer to a close. How very won-
derful that the Academy of
Freedom here at Howard Payne
will not only bear his name but
will, hopefully, become a living
monument to him and all he
stood for.
At West Point on May 12,
1962 General MacArthur receiv-
ed the Thayer Award for ser-
vice to the nation and delivered
his last and best major address,
"Duty, Honor, Country." Though
these words were particularly
addressed; to young men of the
military, they are words that
we each should remember.
"Duty-Honor-Country. Those
three hallowed words reverently
dictate what you ought to be,
what you can be, and what you
will be. They are ypur rallying
points: to build courage when
courage seems to fail; to regain
faith when there seems to be
little cause for faith; to create
hope when hope becomes for-
lorn ...
"They build your basic char-
acter, they mold you for your
future roles as the custodians
of the nation's defense, they

make you strong enough to
know When you are weak, and
brave enough to face yourself
when you are afraid. They teach
you to be proud and unbending
in honest failure, but humble
and gentle in success; not to
substitute words for actions,
nor to seek the path of comfort,
but to face the stress and spur
of difficulty and challenge; to
learn to stand up in the storm
but to have compassion for those
who fall; to master yourself
before you seek to master
others; to have a heart that is
clean, a goal that is high; to
learn to laugh yet never forget
how to weep; to reach into the
future yet never to neglect the
past; to be serious yet never
to take yourself too seriously;
to be modest so that you will
remember the simplicity of true
greatness, the open mind of
true wisdom, the meekness of
true strength. They give you a
temper of the Will, a quality of
of the imagination, a vigor of
the emotions, a freshness of the
deep springs of life, a tempera-
mental predominance of courage
over timidity, an appetite for
adventure over love of ease.
They create in your heart the
sense of wonder, the unfailing
hope of what next, and the Joy
and inspiration of life."

DEAR AUNT EXEY
Two's A Crowd
DEAR AUNT EXEY; I am a
freshman girl at Howard Payne.
I date a high school senior. Al-
though I like him a lot I find
it difficult to sneak him into
campus events. What would you
suggest?
ADVANCED
DEAR ADVANCED: Under the
prevailing conditions, you have
two choices. First, you can con-
tinue to attend campus events
in the same manner you have
exemplified in the past. Second,
you can quit attending campus
events. However, these two
choices are obvious. Therefore,
allow me to throw out a little
thrash. Although I am not
familiar with you or your boy-
friend, I have an idea that you
may not be suited for each
other. Now, dont get me wrong.
I am not opposed to your see-
ing each other. However, I do
know that frequently a girl and
boy of college and high school
ages often have different tastes.
Therefore* I say that this may
be a warning of numerous fu-
ture complications. My advice to
you is to strongly reconsider
this relationship, and If yoil still
wish to date this boy, then I say
by all means do so. There are
plenty of other activities in
which he will be accepted with-
out reference to hls hlgh school
standing.

DEAR AUNT EXEY: Here is
my reply to "INFORMED." To
start with, if you wish to refer
to the catalogue, where, may I
ask, does it say that the resi-
dence halls may be turned into
hotels during the holidays?
Furthermore, I agree with you
when you say the halls should
be kept locked during the holi-
days. But how are the girls,
who have no keys, to lock the
halls when they go to the coli-
seum for religious services? And
incidentally, during the holi-
diays, it seems that the resi-
dence halls remain open on ac-
count of football games, basket-
ball games, and other sports
events? How do you explain
this? There is no such privilege
stated in the catalogue. And,
as a closing remark, let me say
that I agree with you when you
say Jobs are limited in Brown-
wood when your qualifications
are also limited. However, let
me also say that jobs are also
limited in Brownwood when you
have top-notch qualifications.
Let us not deal in half-truths.

DEAR AUNT EXEY: I re-
ceived the letter from you andi
ABBY. I regret to inform you
that I do not deal with problems
in person's lives. My speciality
1s offering hints on how to run
their lives.

Dear Editor:
It has come to my attention
this week that certain people
have been misled over a matter
of local politics. It has been
falsely reported that a local
organization of Howard Payne
students, the KLODS, are sup-
porting the write-in candidate
Leroy Roach, for state repre-
sentative.
This report is a gross misrep-
resentation of facts and does
not contain one iota of truth.
The truth of the matter is
that two or three of the club's
members have taken an active
part in Mr. Roach's campaign:
this Is their right and privilege.
These two or three in no way
reflect the views of the club—
it has no political affiliation as
a whole—and their political
activity is to be considered
strictly as a matter of personal
endeavor. The activity of these
members is a matter of personal
political preference, not organi-
zational preference.
Sincerely,
Carroll Duke
