Proposes
UT At EP
Proposals to change Texas West-
ern’s name to the University of
Texas at El Paso and to provide
$35.6 million in extra funds over
the coming decade were the high-
lights of the Mission ’73 report
released August 30.
Other major items in the master
plan for the coming decade are pre-
paration for a 1973 enrollment of
10,000 to 12,000 students, increasing
library holdings to 500,000 volumes,
raising faculty salaries, strengthen-
ing admission standards and the
undergraduate program, develop-
ing additional master’s and doctor-
al degrees programs and expansion
of research on all levels.
Dr. Judson F. Williams, Mayor of
El Paso, was chairman of the 38-
member study group, and Dr. Mil-
ton Leech, assistant to the president
of Texas Western, is executive of-
One of the most impressive and
exciting times in a TWC freshman’s
life usually comes with the tradi-
tional painting of the “M” atop Mt.
Franklin.
Next Saturday at 1 p. m. fresh-
men students are invited to join
buses at Magoffin Auditorium
where they will be transported to
Mt. Franklin. The group will have
a short walk up a portion of East
Mt. Franklin where the “M” will
be repaired and re-whitewashed.
This has been a joy and a custom
for TWC students since 1923.
The expedition will be super-
vised by Student Association Of-
ficers and Senators. Charlie Tup-
per, Student Association president,
encourages all freshmen to attend,
as the painting is their first step
in becoming a real part of the Col-
lege. He strongly urges that stu-
dents wear old clothes and tennis
shoes and bring brooms.

LONESOME BOWL OF SUN—The recently-completed $1.75 million Sun Bowl sprawls over a tremendous
plot of ground that formerly was some of the rough est terrain in El Paso County. Unique in many ways,
the Sun Bowl is probably the only stadium in the world from which two states and another country can
be viewed. It looks into the extreme Southwestern tip of Texas, the Southeastern corner of New Me-
xico and the Rio Grande Valley of Mexico. First action for the new 30,000 seat, Bhutanese-styled
stadium will unfold September 21, when the Miners meet North Texas State on the home ground.

A half century ago, the Texas Le-
gislature created what is now Texas
Western College, a fast-growing,
improving institution of higher
learning with ambitious plans for
the coming decade.
In honor of our history and
growth, the College established the
Golden Jubilee Committee, head-
ed by Dr. Anton H. Berkman, pro-
fessor of biological sciences, to pre-
pare a year-long Golden Jubilee
Celebration, which officially began
with the release of Mission ’73 plans
for growth and improvement.
Following these plans for the
future, the College will begin cele-
brating its past with a Band Night,
including 1,400 El Paso are high
school students and the TWC March-
ing Cavalcade at the first football
game, September 21.
PLAN TRIBUTE
Also, the Marching Cavalcade and
the Golddiggers will present an-
niversary tributes at each home
game half-time ceremony. Fans will
receive Jubilee programs with ar-
ticles and pictures on the College’s
history, and glittering medallion
key-rings depicting the Sun Bowl
and the Jubilee Seal will be avail-
able at the Sun Bowl.
TWC’s new $1.75 million Sun Bowl
will be dedicated at the October
5 game with New Mexico State
University, Dr. Berkman said.
Other plans for the celebration
include a number of special publi-
cations, including a Student Associa-
tion calendar of events and a com-
plete history of the College.
To give national and international
publicity to TWC’s Golden Jubilee,
every letter written by College
personnel during the year will be
headed by the Golden Jubilee Seal,
commemorating the College’s birth-
day.
In the field of the fine arts, many
productions and exhibits are plan-
ned in keeping with the anniversary
celebratio, and College-Com-
munity cooperation will be high-

TW Student
Insurance
Available
Again this year, student accident
and sickness insurance is available
to TWC students through the Stu-
ficer.
TWC President Joseph M. Ray
First showings in the TWC
film series for 1963-64 will be
made Tuesday, in connection
with freshmen orientation
activities.
Showings of “The Mouse
That Roared" will be made at
2::30 and 7 p.m. in the SUB
Ballroom. There will be no ad-
mission charge, and all fresh-
men are especially urged to
attend.
The movie to be shown, a
delightful off-beat comedy, is
the story of the smallest na-
tion in the world on the verge
of bankruptcy. The solution to
the problem includes tun in-
vasion of New York.
The next movie to be shown
will be on September 27.
“On the Waterfront,” with
Marlon Brando, will be the
featured attraction.
Chairman of the Film Com-
mitte is Carlos Valenzuela.
Association-sponsored pro-
plan is underwritten by
Casualty Company, St.
College, we can all work toward
an ever increasing quality in its
performance. You have a major part,
both during and after your student
years, in helping to achieve this
goal.
This institution is here for your
benefit. We are not here as faculty
and staff to enjoy our own good
society; we are here rather to serve
you. The responsibility is yours,
however, to derive the most from
your attendance here. There is an
old saying that as person gets out of
any enterprise whatever he puts
in it. This is definitely true so far
as your experience this year at Tex-
as Western College is concerned.
Let us hope that our experience
and accomplishments will mark this
year as a major one in the history
of the College.
Sincerely,
Joseph M. Ray
President
