The former office of Testing,
Guidance and Counseling Service
at TWC has been reorganized un-
der the direction of its new acting
chairman, Dr. R. H. Whitworth.
In years past the guidance office
operated as an integral part of the
Student Affairs program and re-
ported directly to the President of
the College as a single bureau.
As a result of the recent change
in organization, the name of the
office has been changed to Student
Guidance and Counseling Center
and operates under the overall pro-
gram of the Dean of Student Life.
Dr. Whitworth received both his
BA and PhD. degree from the Uni-
versity of Texas and, prior to re-
ceiving his doctorate in 1960, serv-
ed as an instructor and research
scientist at the University.
club’s social activities. The other
will consider the problem of a ro-
deo team.
This ties in with the second mat-
ter discussed at the meeting:
whether or not to sponsor an in-
tercollegiate rodeo here, this year.
Lack of funds and, again, of
participation caused this activity be
cancelled.
The TWC Rodeo Club is a mem-
ber of the National Intercollegiate
Rodeo Association. It is the associa-
tion which coordinates rodeo coin-
petion between college rodeo clubs.
The team committee at TWC will
determine if a team can be formed
here for competition in other col-
legiate rodeos.
As a further aid to strenthening
the club, new officers were elected.
They are John Stubbs, president;
Rene Arredondo, vice-president;
Mary Jean Yates, secretary-trea-
surer; Douglas Cowan, student re-
presentative and publicity chair-
man.
There are no membership qualifi-
cations to join the club, but stu-
dents with at least a 2.0 averages
are preferred.
All competition in intercollegiate
rodeo competition is by amateur
hands, not professionals. Club dues
are $2.50 a semester.
Meeting nights will be every oth-
er Wednesday evening, in the SUB,
at 7 p.m., starting March 7.
3 To 4 Week
Delay Seen
By ERNEST PEREZ
Almost no one in authority was
able to say anything definite this
week about the date of completion
of the Sun Bowl Stadium.
Proposed deadline for the con-
struction had been set at August
15, but sources close to the project
estimate that it is three to four
weeks behind schedule.
Mr. Louis Daeuble Jr., one of the
architects on the project, says it
is hoped the stadium will be com-
pleted by September, in time for
the Texas Western football season.
A hassle erupted in the city pa-
pers a few weeks ago when con-
struction workers threatened to
walk off the job unless back sala-
ries were paid. The difficulty was
finally settled, and workers went
back on the job, averting more de-
lays- ,
At the same time, one of the
architects was quoted as saying
that the project was four weeks
behind schedule, but the next day
he retracted his statement.
George McCarty, TWC athletic
director, expressed hope that the
stadium would be ready for foot-
ball season, and was sure that it
would be ready for the Sun Bowl
in January.
He said that work was progress-
ing steadily at present, and that
pants of the concrete stands were
to be poured soon.
A meeting was scheduled for last
Thursday between the Dallas con-
tractor and representatives of the
college and county.
President Joseph M. Ray will be
able to say something definite
about the date of completion after
the conference.
Athletic Department and the col-
lege will then begin tentative plans
for the move to the new stadium.
A ruling concerning fraternity Certificates Ready
parties was also made recently. Fu-
ture petitions for parties will be For New Members
presented to IFC instead of the
Alpha Lambda Delta. Chenri-
zig and Spurs will hold their
tapping ceremonies for new
members on Honors Night for
the Associated Women Stu-
dents, March 13 at 7 p. m. in
the SUB Ballroom.
All campus sororities, inde-
pendents and honorary organ-
izations will participate in this
newly initiated ceremony.
Alpha Lambda, an honorary
scholastic sorority for fresh-
men women with a grade point
average of 3.5 or above, will
also announce the woman fa-
culty member to be chosen as
an honorary member.
All freshmen women who
qualify scholastically for the
organization are invited to at-
tend the Honors Night activi-
ties.
In addition to freshmen hon-
ons, all senior women who
achieved a 40 grade average
during the fall semester will be
presented certificates of recog-
nition.
TWC debaters brought home two
first place honors from the Desert
Invitational Speech Tournament
which was held at the University
of Arizona, at Tucson, last week-
end.
Judy Moore and Janet Yerby. of
the women’s debate team, won
eight straight debates. They beat
teams from Stanford University,
the University of Southern Calif-
ornia, San Diego State College and
the University of Wichita.
For debaters Moore and Yerby,
it marked the third straight year
they have placed in the Tucson
tournament. They were semi-final-
ists in 1960, second place in 1961
and first this year.
Joe Milchen won first place in
oral interpretation. He was com-
peting with 40 other contestants.
Dexter Mapel reached the finals
in extemporaneous speaking.
All five debate teams received
overall excellent ratings.
There were 41 colleges and uni-
versities represented in the tour-
nament. This was the largest tour-
nament the TWC debaters have
ever entered.
The next competition for the lo-
cal squads will be on March 23
and 24 in Alamosa, Colorado.
