Dr. Joe Gillespie published
for recent research report
By MARY ANN FOREMAN
TSU News Service
Dr. Joe Gillespie, Chairman of the
Department of Health and Physical
Education at Tarleton State Univer-
sity, co-authoted an article which
was published recently in the "Jour-
nal of Human Movement Studies."
Dr. Gillespie and Steve Keenum of
the athletic program at Brownwood
High School used recent research
they had conducted as a basis for the
article.
Entitled "A Validity and Reliabili-
ty Analysis of the Seated Shot Put as
a Test of Power," the article outlines
their experiments which involved 57
TSU Physical Education students.
The purpose, of the investigation was
to test the validity and reliability of
the seated shot put as a test of upper
body strength by examining the co-
efficients of an uncontrolled angle of
release and a controlled angle of
release.
Results of the tests indicate that t lie
seated shot put may be a practical
measure of upper body power pro-
viding coaches and physical
educators an alternative form of
power testing. Some of the advan-
tages of the seated shot put testing
are that it is easy to administer, does
not require expensive equipment and
can be administered in a relative
short period of time.
The ' 'Journal of Human Move-
ment Studies" is an international
publication and is considered one of
the most prestigious journals in that
profession.

Cowles which will establish a scholarship for
CIS and Management student at the universi-
ty. The Cowles, co-owners of K-Bob's and
longtime supporters of Tarleton, were the first

local businesses to create such a scholarship.
An Editorial
Humanist opposes Clements
in his hand and then threw it to safety
in the waves. "It makes a difference
to this one," he said.
Making a difference is what the
work of the Humanitarians of this
world is all about. Cases of animal
cruelty are brought to court and J,ried
was doing. The answer was that the one at a time but those who work
stranded starfish would die if left un with these lawbreakers keep seeing
To the Editor
The story goes that a young man
walking along the beach at dawn,
met an old man picking up starfish
from the beach and flinging them in-
to the sea. The youth asked what he ■
til the moning sun.
"But the beach goes on for miles
and there are millions of starfish,"
countered the young man. "How
can" your effort make any
difference?"
The old man looked at the starfish
the same faces again and again.
After all animal cruelity is a misde-
meanor in our state...hardly a slap
on the wrist of the individual who
beat the puppy to death because it
soiled the carpet!
During the past session of the
Texas State Legislature, two bills ex-
tremely important to the welfare of
animals passed the lawmakers and
arrived at the governor's desk. H.B.
151 would make a third conviction
of cruelty to animals a felony. H.B.
746 outlines minimum standards for
riding stables.
Governor Clements vetoed both
bills!!!!
Why would any civilized person
be against any bill meant to end the
suffering of even one animal much
less countless voiceless creatures?
Only Governor Clements knows.
Sincerely,
ANIMAL ADVOCATES, inc.

Many of you must have wondered
what it would be like to work at a
busy Stephenville nightspot like the
Dodge House. Many of you might
even envision it as a glamorous, fun-
filled occupation.
Keith Parrott, a TSU Management
major from Haskell, will tell you that
indeed it is. Parrott works at the
Dodge House as a bartender. He has
been employed there for about a year
and 2 months and started out as a bar
back. A bar back stocks the bar with
ice, mixers, garnishes and does the
cleaning and less glamorous jobs
Illiteracy
Continued from Page 3
The result of this illiteracy costs
the nation not only in welfare,
unemployment, industrial accidents
and dead-end lives of crime and
drugs, but is a threat to our entire
constitutional system. Out of the 159
countries in the world, America
ranks 49th in literacy. Yet, the total
spending on illiteracy in the U.S.
reaches only about four percent of
those who need help, according to
the report,
The legislation seeks $27 million
oyer the next two years to launch
Literacy Corps projects at approx-
imately a thousand colleges and
universities across the country. In
„ additiQn.tO-lackling the probleih of
. illiteracy, the originators and sup-
porters of the Literacy Corps hope
that it will harness the idealism, the
volunteerism, and the commitment
of young Americans that seems to
associated with bartending.
After six months of observation
and training, Parrott was promoted
to full bartender status. He usually
works "Ladies, Night" on
Wednesdays and Thursdays.
When asked what the most dif-
ficult or time-consuming concoction
he has had to make, Parrott
answered, "probably the Long
Island Iced Tea." The "tea" is made
from 4 liquors mixed together with
sweet and sour mix and a dash of
coke for color.
Parrott says that working and the
iDodge House "is a good job. You
get to meet a lot of people, everyone
talks to the bartender, and the hours
and tips are good. Anyway, if I
wasn't working at the bar, I'd be at
the bar spending all my money."
The management at the Dodge
House are good to their employees
and try to keep a close knit group.
"During football season, said Par-
rott, "they order pizza and drink
beer...and once a year, they put on
a party." /
Like many others in the profes-
sion, Parrott has found the barten-
ding is profitable, allows you to meet
a great variety of people and is,
above all, fun.
have dropped in the last decade.
"If colleges and universities
across the country respond by accep-
ting the Literacy Corps as part of
their educational process, students
will have the opportunity to par-
ticipate by many thousands and
America may at least begin to deal
in more effective and affordable
ways with the shameful and fester-
ing problem of illiteracy in our
midst," stated the report.
So join the fight against illiteracy.
Tell your teachers and administrators
at Tarleton that you would be in-
terested in participating in the
JLiteracy Corps. Then write your
congressman or senator to tell him
that you are one college student in-
terested in the future of our country
and that you are ready to do your
part to make sure that future is
bright.

along the rivers and streams. He
would be so pleased at the progress
we have made with streets, roads,
electric lights, computers, space
ships, etc. He knew we were worth
dying for,, maybe we could show.
Him we are worth living for.
