How true! Typical prof, “Are
you pursing your studies faith-
fully?”
Typical student (as homecoming
and nine-week exams approach),
“Yes, definitely, I’m always be-
hind.” This was from the Triniton-
ian.
A pat of grease paint to Harry
Wisehart for his work on “The
Glass Menagerie.” Harry was tech-
nical director and was forever on
the run. Thanks, Harry, for jobs
well done.

This year for the first time in the history of TLC a debate tourna-
ment will be held on the campus.
It is such worthwhile activities as intercollegiate debate which
help to make a good liberal arts college an even better one.
The history of active debate on the campus is a short one—it was
just three years ago this fall that TLC fielded its first debate squad.
The four-member, all-woman squad attended one intercollegiate tour-
nament and held several practice debates with the University of Texas.
1954-55 saw the squad, now composed of both men and women,
take part in two tournaments.
Last year the expanded debate program included meets at four
colleges. The seven member squad compiled a 6 won, 15 lost record.
The question which will be debated at the tournament here next
week is a topic which concerns each one of us. In the next few years,
you, as citizens of the United States, will be required to make a de-
cision regarding economic aid to foreign countries. If you are interested
in learning more about the problem, both pro and con, why don’t you
sit in on some of the debates.
Mr. Reynolds, members of the debate team, and those behind the
scenes, thanks for your energetic efforts to bring a liberal, many-
sided program to the campus.
Of the students voting, 92 were
of legal voting age, but only 40
of these cast an official ballot in
the national election. Of these 40
legal voters, 35 reported voting
for Eisenhower, four for Steven-
son, and one for Andrews.
EISENHOWER
HOMECOMING PLANS WINS IN LSL
POLL BY 7-1
Dwight D. Eisenhower defeated
Adlai Stevenson 7-1 in the student
body straw vote election.
Three hundred eighty-six TLC
students voted at the campus polls
Tuesday, and the results of the
vote were as follows: for Eisen-
hower, 335; Stevenson, 45; and An-
drews (Constitution Party), six
votes.
Homecoming Is Older Than You Think
by Larry Hausmann
The tradition of a homecoming on the TLC campus has actually
been going on for much longer than the twenty-seven years in official
count would indicate.
Before 1929 homecoming was an unofficial affair usually held
in conjunction with the Armistice Day program on November 11. A
new effect was added to the homecoming celebration of 1929 by the
coronation of a queen.
Since that time homecoming as it is now known has been cele-
brated with the declaration of an official holiday and the crowning
of a queen.
The first queen crowned was Miss Ruth Kraushaar, daughter of
President Emeritus and Mrs. William F. Kraushaar. She was chosen
from seven candidates nominated by the student body.
Editor’s Note: This is the fourth in a series of articles on cam-
pus traditions.

We’d like to be
the “ALMA MATER” for your car.
(A.C.P.)—Any similarity?? Co-
lumbia University’s student board
has given its support to the even-
tual establishment of an honor
system in the hope of curtailing
the strong competition for marks
which is believed to be the cause
of much of the cheating on exams.
The board admits, however, that
an indoctrination period of several
years would be necessary before
the program could be put into full
force.

Yours truly, prexy of the Play-
ers, also met with Sam “Yocum”
Harper, prexy of the “T” Associ-
ation. Results of the meeting will I Charles Pederson
be secret for a while, but we can
tell you that big plans are being
made for the second semester.
You know that when an organi-
zation as big a "go-getter” as the
“T” Association teams up with
the Players something big and
great can’t fail to happen. So be
ready for it.

(A.C.P.)—This one comes from
the Ivory Tower edition of the
University of Minnesota Daily. A
home ec. major was asked on a
test how she would solve the prob-
lem of making a small room ap-
pear larger. She answered: “To
make small rooms appear larger
use thinner wallpaper.”

In action taken at the last two
meetings, the Student Senate has
voted to retain TLC’s membership
in the Texas Intercollegiate Stu-
dent Asociation, has appointed two
members to permanent represen-
tation on the Commons Committee,
as well as disposing of other rou-
tine business.
Fred Long, state parliamentarian
of Texas Intercollegiate Student
Association and a senior at South-
west Texas State Teachers College,
spoke to the senate on the goals
of TISA, explaining some of the
activities and services of the asso-
ciation.
Mr. Long answered questions
concerning several phases of the
association’s work to bring about
responsible student government in
member colleges as well as the
variety of files available pertain-
ing to local campus problems.
Two members of the senate,
and Marlene
Kriewald, have been appointed to
attend meetings of the Commons
Committee and offer suggestion
for improvements. The two are not
members of the committee but are
serving as a medium of expression
for students regarding menus, qua-
lity of food, and preparation of
food.
In further action, the Student
Senate voted to recommend to the
administration a reconsideration of
the dates for the Thanksgiving
holidays with a possible poll of
student preference to be taken by
the senate.
In these days with the United States taking a firm stand against
the action of the French and English in Egypt and against the inter-
ference of Russia in the armed uprising of Hungarian anti-Communists,
it is urgent that we look at what is happening objectively.
Regardless of one’s own party sentiment, there can be little doubt
as to the sincerity of the man in the White House in his search for a
solution to the present situation. His responsibility is great .The de-
cisions which are being reached may well affect the destiny of the
entire world.
Your responsibility is equally large. Pray for God’s guidance
and continued moral strength for our nation’s leaders. There is no
limit to the power of prayer if we will but use it.
In the homecoming parade of
Gettysburg College, Gettysburg,
Pa., a giant kangaroo hopped to
first prize. Its slogan was, “It’s
in the Bag!” A pink and white
steamroller rolled into second
place bearing the sign “Flatten
the Mules.”
It sure is nice to be back again,
and we hope that you are going
to enjoy our little go-around on
the best on cellulose.
“Between Heaven and Hell”
Robert Wagner,Terry Moore

This was an average run-of-the-
mill war picture, with one thing
to boast about. The special effects
deserve a real pat on the back.
The picture was so realistic that
you actually thought you had seen
someone killed before your very
eyes. The music was fairly good,
the Cinematography outstanding,
but the acting—well, it just didn’t
meet the other standards of the
picture.
Robert Wagner is a good actor,
but he just didn’t fill the boots of
his performance in “A Kiss Before
Dying.” Terry Moore, after a long
absence from movieland, did a
very fine job. This gal was, as per
usual, very easy on the eyes.
As a whole, though, this didn’t
come up to our expectations.
All you Elvis fans will be happy
to know that the downtown thea-
ter has told us that his picture
will be here in just a matter of
days. All you gals who dig Elvis
will not want to miss “Love Me
Tender.”
Well, I guess we had better pick
up our splicing machine and start
on the next bundle of cues and
views about the cinema world.

Being homecoming chairman
with the job of coordinating the
events and supervising the actions
of the other chairmen was the
responsibility and honor conferred
upon one Judy Kern in the spring
elections.
A position like this can result
in the sparkle of satisfaction or
the ulcers of defeat. We can pretty
well tell how Judy is getting along
by these quotables. One showing
enjoyment and enthusiasm—“It’s
very interesting and exciting. . .
and see the coordination among
the different events.” Topping this
is a remark of unconscious praise
of her own leadership, “I must
have picked excellent chairmen,
because they have everything go-
ing along smoothly.”
This junior chemistry major
from Battle Creek, Michigan, is
a member of LSA, a Beta, inter-
sorority council president, and a
lab instructor.
Concerning her homecoming
work, Mr. Kiel rates it as being
“an outstanding job.”

News And Views From
The Speech Department
by Maurice Kubena
The TLC Players are forever
expanding. Just last week Player
representatives met with the local
school superintendent and all ele-
mentary school principals to dis-
cuss the Players’ initial effort to
provide theater for local school
children.
In the past, local children had
to go to San Marcos every year to
view Children’s Theater.
The decision reached was that
the TLC Players would tour all
the major local elementary schools
with a play. This would mean at
least five performaces of the play
would be given. The school offi-
cials said as a result over 2,000
children would view the product-
ion.
Tentative plans call for the pro-
gram to begin the last part of
February. The play to be present-
ed will probably be “The Clown
Who Ran Away.”
