Administration
proceeds with
student center
Plans are nearing the final stages to begin construc-
tion on the new Student Development Center at Tarleton.
Construction start up is scheduled for March 1993.
The building will be located at the southwest corner of
Lillian and Vanderbuilt Streets.
Preliminary plans call for a three-level structure made
with red brick, metal and cut stone. The 89,000 square-
foot building across the street from the Fine Arts Center
will contain 59,100 square-feet of assignable space. The
newest and one of the largest buildings on the Tarleton
Campus will face Vanderbuilt toward the main part of the
campus. There will be a second major entry off Lillian.
The building will feature a convention area that will
seat 1,000-theater-style which can be converted into a
banquet area that can seat approximately 450, This
utilitarian area is designed in a hotel-style arrangement
that can be divided into three individual student meeting
areas.
"We are planning the entire building around students
needs," said Dr. Johnny Johnson, Vice President for
Student Services. "There are meeting rooms scattered
throughout the building to accommodate student anc
faculty group meetings," Johnson said. Convention space
has long been needed at Tarleton and this complex should
attract several conventions to both the University and the
city of Stephenville, he added.
A new post office, a wealth of open space with seating
and gathering points for students and visitors and a food
service area which will seat approximately 250 persons in
a contemporary atmosphere will be the focal point of the
ground level. Johnson said that a relaxing area where
students cat! meetfor snapks .and .socializing .or.studying
has been the primary concern in designing the building.
; A four-window snack bar plus a commuter center wi
be incorporated into the ground floor level so that food anc
beverage service will be available even when the main
snack bar area is closed. Immediately outside the building
from the snack bar area will be a covered outdoor dining
patio that will seat 250 persons. The snack bar serving
windows can be locked at night and the large food service
area will be available for students who wish to visit or
study.
Adjacent to the reception area there will be offices
which house certain student service administrators where
an information booth will be located This will also be the
origination point for campus tours and a scheduling
information center for students.

DZ Step Sing
displays talent
By Christy Moore
Managing Editor
Sounds of laughter and applause filled the
auditorium of the Fine Arts Center Friday night as
Tarleton students danced and sang their way through
Delta Zeta's 7th Annual Step Sing.
According to Delta Zeta's president, Andi
Cooper, the show not only entertained the audience
but also raised some $2,000 for charity.
Members of K Psi T took top honors with
their step routine, "Steppin for the Rights of the
Yard." The K Psi T's are a relatively new
organization on campus, being in existence only
several weeks,
"Rodeo Riders on the Air", performed by the
Rodeo Association, took second place. Their
mixture of song, dance and western-style slapstick
brought the house down.
Third place went to Lambda Chi Alpha who
proved that they had "Friends in Low Places."
Delta Zeta opened the show with "Anything
i Goes" followed by Alpha Gamma Delta's

Student loan bill
to be voted on soon
By Eric Lang
Staff Writer
Next week, on November 5, the Hinson-Hazle-
wood Loan Program will come up for a revote. On
August 10 of this year, voters decided to cut this loan
program, leaving many Texas students, including
113 at Tarleton, without money for the spring semes-
ter. .
,Thfe program* if pass^
$300 million in bonds to finance approved financial
aid. It would not come out of the taxpayers pockets.
If the program fails to passj loans will be discontinued
in January due to insufficient funds.
This decision is not one to be taken lightly. A
vote of "No", combined with the raising of tuition
fees, would affect the number of students able to
continue their education. The only way to get around
this would be for voters to pass the bill this time
around.
Dr. Johnny Johnson, Vice President of Student
Services, stated, "I hope all the citizens in Erath
county and especially the students at Tarleton will
vote tor it (the Hinson-Hazelwood Program). It will
help over 400 students at Tarleton and what's good for
Tarleton is good for Stephenville."

Former Dallas Cowboy speaks

Lottery debated at TSU forum
By Rachel Netnec
Reporter
The only point members of the
TSU forum agreed on in a debate
entided "This House Believes Texas
Needs the Lottery" held last Thurs-
day, was the citizens' right and re-
sponsibility to vote on November 5.
The Affirmative Advocates,
Monica Bryce and Professor Jeremy
Curtoys, agreed that a lottery is not
the solution to all of Texas's finan-
cial problems, but it would provide
extra revenue to help the situation.
In this countr;y, 32 states and
the District of Columbia have lotter-
ies to-raise revenues. "No state has
lost money with a lottery," said jJryce.
The Texas Alternative Lottery
predicts $462 million of revenue in
the first year of lottery sales, which
would begin the summer of 1992.
The sales are predicted to increase to
$622 million by 1996 if the amend-
ment is passed this session.
Curtoys said that the lottery
proceeds will go to the General Fund
which covers 20 percent of Texas
State expeditures, higher education
being included.
"Everybody wins in the end
with a state lottery," said Curtoys.
The state will receive the revenue
that is now being spent by Texans in
neighboring states' lotteries.
The game provides entertain-
ment for the players and some prize
money. Local business sales will
increase because of increased traffic
in stores by peopic wanting to buy
tickets and industries that produce
game cards, tickets and other lottery
equipment will benefit through in-
creased sales and more jobs. <
But the Negative Advocates,
Glen Vigus and professor Malcolm
Cross, argued that a lottery may help
a little in the short-term but in the
long-run it will end in higher taxes,
Vigus argued that a lottery will
take 4 to 5 years to mature and profit

Editor in Chief
Most people know him as
the number one draft choice for
the Dallas Cowboys in '61 after
winning All-America honors at
Texas Christian University.
They know him as the defensive
tackle who helped carry the
Cowboys to the Superbowl vic-
tory over the Dolphins in '72. Or
perhaps they know him as the
man who was named to the
National Football League's All-
Pro Team seven times and played
in eleven All-Star games.
Few people, however,
know football hall of famer Bob
Lilly as a sucessful Southwestern
decor photographer.
Last Saturday evening,
the English department and about
80 guests witnessed Lilly's land-
scape photography first hand at a
benefit dinner raising money for
English department scholarships.
Lilly first discovered his
nack for photography when given
a 35-millimeter camera and a box
of pre-paid mailers (film with
free processing) as an award for
the Kodak All-American in
college. He began playing
around with photography, taking
pictures of his-teammates and
stadiums in which he played.
Being able to capture
his experiences in the NFL and
the feelings and friends of that
time on film was a great benefit
of learning photography, Lilly
said. . ■ - „
