SLUG LINES
By TOM SULLENBERGER
Too bad the parade got. rained
out but even so it seems that
someone might have brought up
that ""fatted calf, bit". .Anyway, its
good to be back. I've missed dear,
old TSC. Many professors agree
that in one sense of the word I
have always, "missed" the college.
It appears that there have beer-
no profound changes over the la£t
two years , . ; same buildings,
Most of the same professors and
an embarassing number of the
same students. Have these old,
familiar students been away or
are they "homesteading." Most
have probably been "vacationing"
like myself. If the trend towards
the older student continues the ad-
ministration may in time be faced
Y/ith a powerful voting bloc
whose, voice they cannot disre-
gard, It has been suggested that
the first campaign of the
S.S.T.S.C. will be directed toward
the building of a .new student cen-
ter designed primarily for the
convenience of senile students. A
later, column will present the de-
tails of construction and decor of
the proposed S.S.C. (Senile Stu-
dent Center) We would solicit
suggestions from any student or
students that sincerely feel that
they may become institutionalized
here.
There are two minor but notice-
able changes in the campus. The
students are driving longer, lower,
and more expensive automobiles.
Economists would probably agree
that this iaa healthy trend for it
indicates consumption and. con-
sumption is good. Uncle Sam said
bo. Student consumption is especi-
ally desirable because we young
people are such rapid consumers.
Prom the looks of these chariots
most are nearing the ultimate in
consumption < . , Detroit, must
love us dearly. Washington might
be happy to know that the stu-
dents at TSC . annually consume
on one popular stretch of High-
way only . 30 miles long approxi-
mately (these are very rough
figures) $0000.00 in totally
wrecked automobiles, $500.00 in
tires, blown or melted; $1000,00 in,
gasoline and lintold sliding rate
depreciation on the various sub-
ject automobiles. No estimates
were available on the amount ,of
"refreshment" consumed at the
opposite end of this subject-
stretch of highway, or in route
hither and thither. There was too
much variation in individual cap-
acity. This might be an interest-,
ing area for the department of
Social Sciences to investigate^
Also it could n.ot go; unnoticed
that there are a great many more
attractive coeds on the campus.-
It is too bad however that a spot
check shows, them to be engaged
in their traditional pursuit of
looking for husbands .while pass-
ing "basket weaving courses." Of
course they are still consuming,
which Uncle Sam says is good.
They are consuming thousands, of,
daddy's dollars and fours or more
years so that they may in time be-,
come capable of outthinking their,
first grade wards. But that's not
always the case is it? There's al-
ways marriage. Of all those lovely
creatures who are so desperately
trying to "wangul" a degree fuliy
three-fourths will manage to find
escape in marraige. Which is
after all not a bad status in it-
self. In fact even the most learn-
ed. coeds .concur that, to parody
the words . of St. Paul, ,"—it is
better to marry then to lean',"
Perhaps it is;
Yes, it's good to be back on the
campus but I don't think I'll go
around the girls dorm until after
the snow has melted.
Although President , Kennedy
lias been in office only a. short
time, people have formed opin-
ions about hia administration.
Some students around campus
made these remarks.
Eddie Brooks said, "I think it
has revealed facts that we didn't
know about under the Eisenhower
administration, such as the high
rate of unemployment. There are
going to be improvements by the
■way he has started out. I think
he's going to help the- poor, people.
Also, he's the .first president,, to
realize how automation is hurt-
ing our economy."
"He's a forward reaching man.
He'll act, not stand still'," observ-
ed. Jackie_ Hovton.
Commented. Becky Greene, "I
like it, but I think that his wealth;
will make him for the rich, people."'
Gilbert . Sauers said, "It's as
good as any. I suppose. I : don't
know anythnig about it,; really."'
"I love it," was Vivian Harri-
son's opinion. "I really,, do. He
seems to. be working hard for
people who are out of work."
Stephen .Brown stated that he
believed "President Kennedy has
callecj upon the best minds in the
United States to advise him on
situations, events, and occurances
that will either. mean distraction
or complete victory over the
Communists."
It was surprising, how few
people had actual opinions on
such < a controversial subject.
Most of the people asked answer-'
ed that they did not know enough
about the subjject or that it real*,
ly didn't matter..
ANOTHER GOMEZ
LARAMIE, . Wyo. UP) — Gary-
Gomez of Durham, Conn., son of
former New York Yankee Lefty
Gomez, has enrolled at the Uni-
versity of Wyoming on a.baseball
scholarship. Like his dad, who
won six World Series, games,
Gomez is a pitcher.
SPOTLIGHT ON CATHOLICISM
WASHINGTON M — As a re-
suit of the presidential election
campaign involving a Roman
Catholic church in this country
"was subjected to a greater pub-
lic examination and publicity in
I960 than ever before in its. his-
tory," said a year-end review by
the National Catholic Welfare
Conference's Bureau of Informa-
tion,
FIREWOMEN .
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. W.
— Deputy Sheriff Robert New-
man is convinced more women
should be fighting fires.
El Paso County's rural fire de-
partment received an alarm foi
a grass fire.
Trouble was, when the firemen
arrived, there was no fire. Five
housewives had attached lengths,
of garden hose together, fastened
it to the water tap of Mrs. J. D.
Vinson.
When the firemen arrived, the
gals not only had the fire out but
had uncoupled the hose and gone
home.
Cadets Visit Famous
Places in Washington
Wainwright trip to Washington
D. C. was a highly successful and
an educational trip for the forty
cadets who participated in the
Inaugural Parade, Capt. J. W.
Burkett, Wainwright Rifle spon-
sor said this week.
Bill Onstott, Cadet Colonel of
Tarleton R.O.T.C. said, "the trip
brought to life the thiiirgjs that
one reads in history and in gov-
ernment boots." Bill also . said
that the food was good and the.
hospitality was great at Quantico
Marine Base where the cadets
stayed.
Gene Estes, commander of the
Wainwright Rifl'es said, "the trip
was very valuable and education-
al." Gene visited the Smithsonian
Institute, Library of.Congress, and
other educational institutes. Estes
also said that he was impressed
by the beauty of Washington D.C.
Edward Bradshaw said, "The
trip was very interesting and we
received a gyeat thrill from seeing
the President and the Vice Presi-
dent of the United States. Brad-
shaw , said . that. Vice' President
Johnson stood up and clapped as
the Wainwrights marched :by the
reviewing, stand.
Pete Hammond said, "The trip
was very worthwhile and if I
had the same thing to do over
again, I woul dbe glad to do it."
Pete .carried a sign signifying the
Wainwright Rifles in , the Inau-
gural Parade, Pete said the wind
was so strong that he was blown
one full section back to the Nav-
ajo High School' Band. Pete had
to walk a: block to catch up with
the Wainwrights again. .
; Many of the cadets on the trip
went sight-seeing in Washington
D.C. and saw places such as th«
Smithsonian Institute, F.B.I. Aca-
demy, Washington Monument,
Lincoln Memorial, and Quantico
Marine Museum. Cadets also wit-
nessed the changing of the guards
at the To-mb of the Unknown
Soldier.
Capt. J. W. Burkett said, "The
cadets behaved in a gentlemanly
manner and it was a pleasure. to
work with them." Capt. Burkett al-
so said, "The cadets were excellent
representatives of the college, city,"
and the state. It was an experi-
ence the boys will recall with plea-
sure for the remainder of . tlieiij
-lives."
