Why do students com© to How-
ard Payne? With hundreds of
schools available, over 1,000
students choose to become a
part of HPC. There is a story
behind each of these decisions
and it is always interesting to
hear the story and find out why
a student is here.
When students begin to tell
why they are at Howard Payne,
they can never settle on a
certain reason, but the general
answer is they came to How-
ard Payne because of the friend-
ly atmosphere and congenial,
people. Another reason often
given is the Christian ideals
held in esteem at Howard Payne.
All these reasons are valid and
good, but they leave something
in doubt There still seems to
be some intangible force that
students can not describe that
draws them here.
I guess fate brought me
here," says HPC sophomore
Annalee Perkins. When I was
a senior in high school I planned
to go to North Texas but I was
late getting my room deposit
in. When North Texas rejected
my room reservation and re-
commended that I live off cam-
pus, I knew that I had to flndi
a different school. Then I re-
membered how one of my high,
school teachers had recommend-
Howard Payne, and I decided
to investigate. The minute I
saw the campus and met the
friendly people, I knew that
HPC was the school for me."
Other people have less in-
volved reasons. David Hickman,
freshman from Hobbs, New
Mexico had a short answer when
asked his reason for coming to
Howard Payne. "I came because
Martha St Clair talked me
into it," says David. When
questioned more extensively,
David admitted that Miss St
Clair did not make the trip to
Hobbs just to get him to How-
ard Payne, but he maintains
that she is the one who talked
him into coming.
Patsy Crawford, sophomore
from Fort Worth, came because
an ardent Howard Payne ex-
student persuaded her. Ed
Markham, former HPC Student
President, was her youth di-
rector in Trinity Baptist Church.
He infulenced her and many
other members of his youth
fellowship to come to HPC.
The organ in Mim's auditor-
ium was the magnet that drew
David Lowe'of Hobbs. New Mex-
ico to Howard' Payne. David Is
an expert instrumentalist and
after he saw the organ, he new
he had found his school.
These are just a few of the
stories of a decision made by
students here at Howard Payne.
All of these students have come
to one place for different rea-
sons to reach different goals;
yet, it is these different people
and ideas that are the appeal
of Howard! Payne, a school that
offers something for every per-
son.

Politics Important
To HPC Students
In the coming weeks politics
will assume a major role on
the Howard Payne campus.
Many individuals in the fresh-
man class are now busy at the
task of planning campaign
strategy in their race to fill
the class offices and senate po-
sitions.
Another facet of the current
political interest is the national
presidential election. Evidence
of the student interest are the
many L.B.J. stickers and ban-
ners and the numerous faces
of Barry Goldwater beaming
down from dormitory windows.
Two campus organizations
have been largely responsible in
generating the current political
awareness. These organizations
are Young Republicans and the
Young Democrats Culbs. Mem-
bership in these clubs is open
to any Howard Payne student
between the ages of 17 and for-
ty.
Students are reminded that
information concerning the can-
didates and their policies may
be obtained at the Republican
or Democratic headquarters in
Brownwood. The Democrats
have set up their offices on the
ground floor of the Browntown-
er and the Republicans in the
old bank building on Center
Avenue.

Ron Beberniss Submits
Yell Leader Resipation
I i
Ron Beberniss, alternate
cheerleader from the sopho-
more class, submitted this let-
ter of resignation to the How-
ard Payne Student Senate at
its Tuesday evening meeting.
Dear Mr, Underhill:
Due to an unfortunate chain
of circumstances arising in re-
cent weeks, the office of yell
leader, one of much honor and
responsibility, has been dele-
gated to me by the Student As-
sociation.
In the minds of many stu-
dents, a grave injustice has oc-
curred due to recent decisions
of the Student Senate regarding
this matter. Many feel that the
senate has acted unfairly and
unwisely. A great number of
these are opposed to my filling
the office of yell leader because
of my position in the senate and
"Few Men Plan to Fail
But Many Men Fail to Plan"

LIFE
my part in the recent decision
of that body.
The person who executes the
office of yell leader must in my
opinion, have the cooperation
and support of entire student
body if he is to do his job well.
A person who does not have this
cooperation and support could
not possibly hope to fulfill the
duties and obligations of the of-
fice of yell leader.
After much consideration and
forethought, I find that I can
not justify in my mind1 my ac-
cepting of an office to which
so much public opinion is op-
posed. Should I have decided to
accept this position, I feel that
I would not have had the sup-
port of the entire student body.
Therefore, I ask that the Stu-
dent Senate of Howard Payne
College accept this letter as
my resignation from the office
of yell leader; effective October
1, 1964.
Sincerely,
Ron Beberniss
