Plans for Semester
Women's Annex To Be Ready
Hunejvell Annex, the new 3-
story women's dormitory on the
campus of Tarleton State Col-
lege, will be ready for occupan-
cy by" the fall semester of 1968.
The dorm, will be called Hune-
well Annex until a name is de-
cided upon by the A&M Board
of Directors.
Mack Foust, college engineer,
says the co:st of the building will
be between $750,000 and $1,000,-
000. The building is due for
completion in early summer,
but since construction has been
siowed by rains, it may be late
summer before it is ready.
The. new dorm will have the
same exterior and roof line as
ftunewell; and its interior, furn-
ishings, and colors will be much
the same as Hunewell. Similar
to Hunewell, the new dorm will
have two rooms and a bath per
suite. The building wil have a
separate air-conditioning unit,
but the steam-heat will be con-
tinuous from the other dorms.
According to Mrs. Helen Hov- .
ey, Dean of Women, there will'
be a large ;>tudy area in the:
annex, a TV room, and all
women's dorm, rooms will have
phones next year. The annex
will have a bulit - in laundry.
There will be storage for addi-
tional items, such as fonnals
and heavv coats. The lighting
will also be better than that of
Hunewell.
This new dorm, will house
both freshmen and upperclass-
men. There wiU be counselors'
rooms on all three floors and
the counselor will room by her-
self
All three of the new building's
floors will be connected to the
two stories of Hunewell by.
ramps to make up for the dif-,
ferences in floor leves.
There are plans for an en-
trance on Mcllhaney Street, and
another entrance oil the west
side — back to back with the
Student Center, which will be
used for loading and unloading.
The architect who designed
the plan of the new building is
Earl E. Koeppe of Fort Wpi'th.

An intra-mural debate, a se-
ries of short plays, and a musi-
cal are the activities brewing
in the speech department for
the spring semester.
The'Tarleton Players' are
plannirigto present two or three
short plays on March 14, 15,
and 16. Wayne Toone, instruc-
■ tor of speech and Players' spon-
sor. says, "In keeping with last
semester's trend, these will be
of a workshop nature. They will
be under the guidance of the
members of the Players."
The club will produce the
musical "110 in the Shade"
jointly with the music depart-
ment^ The production will run
April125, ,26, and 27, and May
2, 3, \a,nd 4.
Toone urges anybody interest-
ed in. aiding or joining the or-
ganization to contact, either him
rself or Merrill Wenk, president
of thp Tarleton Players. The
•club <meets every Monday night
at 7:30 in the Drama Studio.
The Debate Club is also plan-
ning some activities for, the
■spring. Charles S. Proctor,
speech instructor, and Debate
Club sponsor, says' that the club
will re - organize on Tuesday,
Feb. 13, New officers will be
elected at that time.
Proctor also said that any
person interested in debating
should come to the organiza-
tional meeting. -The .debate top-
ic will be, "Resolved: Tht Fed-
eral government should pro-
vide a minimum annual cash
income for all its citizens."
Toone indicates that no1 speci-
fic plans are in the making for
the speech classes. Last semes-
ter some of the classes pro-
vided programs fo>r the local
high school. This spring there
may arise some opportunities
for the speech people to carry-
a little of their talent to the
high school or some of the com-
munity organizations, accord-
ing to Toone but nothing is cer-
tain as yet.
No Place for
in College
By LINDA STROTHER
"There is no place in a col-
lege community for a thief. Stu.
dents oughi ta be able to lay
.books and other valuables down
without fear of them being stol
en,"
With these wor Is, Cecil Bal-
-Jow, Dean.of Student Personnel
Services, emphasiz3d the fact
that "students caught stealing
will be subject to immediate
suspension,"
Jack Allen, Dean of Men,
stated that-stolen items usually
consist of auto stereos, stereo
tapes,, money, clothes and books.
He also felt that most of the
theft, concerning the boys, hap-
pens' in the men's parking lots
„ and in the dorms'. "I believe
"that temptation is the major
reason for theft in the men's
dorms. The boys leave their
* doors unlocked, with keys,
money and other valuables ly-
ing around within reach of al-
most anyone,"
Mrs. Flynt, Director of Wom-
en's Dormitories, stated that
"most of the theft in the girl's
dorms usually happens just be
fore time to go, home for the
holidays. To prevent stealing,
girls should lock their doors."
All three members of the ad-
ministration felt that the stu-
dents themselves must take ac-
tion to,prevent stealing on cam.-
The J-TAC interviewed five
TSC students, asking then- opin-
ion on the problem of stealing
on campus and what actions
should be taken.
Jim Reagan of Houston, a jun-
ior general' agriculture major,
stated: "Students ought to take
physical action against a, thief,"
and that if this type of action
was taken, there would not be
any need for the Administration
to kick the thief out of school."
. Kristi Bowers, a sophomore
elementary education major
from Brownwood, felt that the
' student should be suspended.,
but allowed to return the follow-
ing semester. "When a person
tomes to college, he is suppos-
edly an adult. Because TSC is,
m adult community, students
should act accordingly. If this
adult attitude cannot be achiev-
ed, the students are not only
hurting themselves, but also the
school's name."
Dottie Singleton, a freshman
from San Antonio and a foreign
language major, declared that
students who steal in the dorms
"usually feel that it is a chal-
lenge to see whether or not they
car. get away with it. It is so
convenient to steal in the
dorms, the girls never lock their
doors. Actually, the girls' in the
dorms are very friendly and are
usually very willing to let
friends borrow things, so the
act of theft only displays low
character." Asked whether or
'ijot the thief should be suspend-
ed, She replied, "If some; One is
caught stealing, they should
have to appear before a student
.'jury, who, would decide on the
basis of what they stole, how.
severe the punishment should
be. I think the embarrassement
of having to appear before other
students would eliminate most
of the theft."
An industrial arts major from
Wichita' Falls, sophomore Bud-
dy Shepard, believed: "Students
should be kicked out, but more
actions (on the student's part)
should be taken than just being
suspended from school."
Marcia Morelock, a freshman
and elementary education ma-
jor from Brownwood, express-
ed the opinion that "If a stu-
dent is caught stealing, he
should be warned and, some
type of disciplinary action tak-
en, but if the person is caught
ag:vin, then he should be sus-
pended. By the time a person
reaches college , level, certain
values should be set. up and
stealing should be out of the
question."
Most of the students agreed
that stealing does not occur be-
cause of need. Luxury items are
stolen most, including mpney,
jewelry, sterea tapes and elec-
trical equipment, such ais pop
corn poppers and irons. All
agreed that convenience and
temptation are the key factors
involved in stealing. To prevent
this ,doors must be locked, and
valuables kept out of easy
reach.
