Coach Frank Hunt expressed
confidence in his boys, saying
that with a little more work and
four boys from the basketball
team coming in, he thought the
tracksters would have one of
the best seasons this year.
The basketball players who
are also on the track team are
Mike Patterson, Don Ford, Mel-
vin Hall, and Ernie Anderson.
Hunt said the boys were show-
ing outstanding improvement
over last year.
The South Plains Track team
made a trip to the Border Oly-
mpics at Laredo during the
weekend of March 6th-7th. Al-
though the SPC athletes failed
to place, they made an excellent
showing in several events.
Terry Darling clocked the two-
mile run in a cool 10:30.1 time.
This was the fastest time ever
recorded by SPC. Darling plac-
ed sixth in the event.
No points were scored by the
SPC runners, but they did man-
age to reach the finals in two
events. These events were the
440 relay and the mile relay.
The mile relay team clocked
3:29.2 in the finals. The school
record for this particular event
is 3:28.9.
Placing sixth in the sprint re-
lay, the Texans recorded a time
of 45.5. Running in this event

dance tomorrow night and Dean lay with Johnston, McKee, Un-
Walker’s weekly schedule says ' " - ‘
d-
W —
that there will be live music. I
just wonder if the Dean means
it won’t be western music, or
gust not dead this time.
I asked two different Caboys
at two different times if they
planned on attending this dance
and they said, and I quote,
Are you crazy, the ABC Ro-
deo is that week.” End Quote.
I was talking to my roomie
Sunday night when he got back
from the Phi Theta Kappa con-
vention and he told me part of
a speech the Del Mar president
gave them and I would like to
pass it on to you. He told the
Convention that he was reading
from the secretarie’s diary, a
diary that she had written en-
route to Europe.
The diary read: Thurs. Went
to ship and found out how ma-
ny passengers — 6,000. Fri. Bor-
ed. Fri. nite. Met the captain.
Sat. The captain said that he
would sink the ship if I didn’t
kiss him. Sat. nite. Boy, did I
ever save 6,000 passengers to-
night.
That sounds a little like a
statement I heard the other
night. A boy came in the sub
(not an SPC student) and said
that he had had a fight with
his girl and if he wasn’t study-
ing for the ministry. . . .he’d go
get drunk. Eck!
That same night I met a girl
that Julaine once lived with and
who called Julaine “Judo’ and
I just wondered if that was why
they had that fight.
I asked Shorty to tell me why
he is really leaving and he said
it was because he has gotten
so “darned” contrary that no
one will put up with him any-
Snore. I doubt it though. Oh yes,
I spelled it “darned” because
the lineotype machine doesn’t
curse.
The Easter Parade starts at
Arnold’s where you buy t h e
very best. Men, go see Arnold’s
new men’s department, it is the
greatest. I guess the men would
be the ones most interested in
men’s clothes so I could have
said; go see the new men’s de-
partment at Arnold’s. At any
rate — go. Mr. Arnold has gone
all out to please all his custo-
mers and this new section has
about the sharpest blazers I’ve
seen in a long time. The people
there are nice too.
After this past weekend I be-
lieve we should all take a clo-
ser look at our driving habits
and those of the people we ride
With. Maybe out of tragedy
something can come that will
Stick and at the same time be
a lesson to us all.

Texans Droo
Regional Till
For the first time since the
college was organized, South
Plains was participating in the
Regional Tournament. This
was truly the year South Plains
had grown up.
But this was not the day to
prove it. Perhaps the excite-
ment of playing in Amarillo—
a city where they had never won
— and playing Howard County
— a team they wanted to beat
so bad — was too much for
the Texans were defeated 70-55.
Coldness from both the field
and the free throw line kept the
Texans out of the ball game in
the first half and they trailed
35-18 at halftime.
With about five minutes left,
SPC made their move as the
lead was cut to seven, but it
was short lived and when the
buzzer sounded, Howard County
was the victor.
Turnbough lead scoring with
26, followed by Patton and
Swinburn with 8. Crippen had 3,
Sarchet, Pope, Milstead and
Patterson all had 2 while Hall
and Anderson each had 1.

This past weekend Jerry Sar-
chet went to Big Spring with
the debate team. Needless to
say, he lost. This however isn’t
what makes the story interest-
ing. It seems Jerry was debat-
ing in the girl’s division. . . .
