THE RAMBLER
Tuesday; February
1 i/ore "I LjvlMeS ' ylp/HUr
Showing rJ!cuL Of flflahiritij
A lew nooks ii^o, oiu> alert TWi' student wrote a letter
to the editor of The Kanhler in which he discussed the be-
havior of some "ve^i'table-type" college students who sat
near him in a regular Tuesday morning assembly.
Once again, some "vegetables" have "displayed one ot
the best exhibitions of crudeness and disrespect" imaginable.
i , o
We should all le proud of our Alma Mater. Our Alma
Mater is "the song" of Texas Wesleyan. Showing disrespect
to this song, as was done during assembly last Thursday, is
showing disrespect to our school. And if students do not
respect the school, what are they doing here in the first
place ?
We are not blaming this show of disrespect on anyone
but the people who burst the balloons, talked and laughed
during the Alma Mater. It was, we believe, a very good
campaign stunt. It is a pity that a few college "vegetables
showed a definite lack of maturity, training and respect by
bursting the balloons when thev^did.
This action is comparable to talking and rushing to
seats during the national anthem. We are attending college
to learn, and by now we all should be mature.
It is time that the few people to whom this is written
grow up and decide to be real "students" and real individuals.

When we were small, we looked with awe at the pic-
tures ot" glamourous people in Looks, magazines, newspapers
and in movies. All of us at one time or another have dreamed
ot' being that certain person in the distance.
One thing that we all secretly long for in this world
is culture—this undofinable something that makes people
stand out.
Not all people enjoy music, plays or art; but maybe
they would if they could be exposed to some of the finer
forms of music, plays and art.
The arts of our time are fast diminishing anil are being
replaced by television. We do not believe that art, on a
whole, will ever fade out completely, but it has already come
to the poinl^wihere very few people have the chance to see a
really good dramatic production or attefiftl a "top-notch"
concert.
We, the students of Texas Wesleyan, have a chance
to do our share to support the fine arts. TWC is known
throughout this area for its spring musicals. They have
added greatly to the prestige of the college.
Damn Yankees will be shown in the fine arts auditorium
for two weekends in March. Work is well underway on the
production, and the dramatic and musical departments of
the college are very excited about doing such a well known
play.
Dancing, singing, comedy and just about anything you
want can be found in this play. When opening night rolls
around, a lot of hard work and concentrated effort will
have been put into this play to make it a success.
Distinguished men and women from this area will be
in the audience because they know they have never been
disappointed in the musicals. Rut will you Le there? Students
will be given a special discount rate, but how many students
will take the time and trouble to come?
