4Commuter9 dirty word?
In many circles on the Lamar campus, “commuter” student is
practically a dirty word. The commuter is viewed as the drawback
for achieving greater student involvement with the ultimate goal of
finally giving Lamar the “traditional” college atmosphere and
unity.
Many feel that due to its location and history as a commuter
school, Lamar is destined to remain commuter-oriented. Perhaps
this is so. But, if the current record-enrollment is any indication of
future trends, (even if annual freshmen percentages drop) Lamar
could be on its way to becoming more resident-oriented.
The prospect is exciting for those who advocate achieving the
“traditional” college atmosphere, but the problem at hand centers
around involving the commuter students when they are on campus
and enticing the dormitory (and apartment) residents out of their
rooms.
Upcoming Setzer Center programming will be aimed at doing this,
but student involvement needs to expand in all areas. Organizations
and groups relevant to all degree plans exist throughout the univer-
sity-many with only a handful of participants. It will take the efforts
of these few, along with a great deal of personal motivation on the
part of the commuter as the campus resident to make these im-
provements in total campus participation.
The result of these efforts will be not only an improved sense of
Lamar community responsibility, but a sense of community respon-
sibility that the student will carry into his life and work after
graduation.

etters to the editor
Dear Editor:
As I walk around our campus I am
appalled and embarrassed by the
amount of litter scattered everywhere.
From the parking lot, to the tennis
courts to the potentially beautiful
quadrangle area the view is cluttered.
No piece of ground is spared.
Whatever amount of money we spend
on campus beautification is wasted as
long as people continue to irresponsibly
throw down their trash.
To my way of thinking, this is one
problem the Lamar University com-
munity can solve and with very little
expense. All it will take is for people to
care and to go the minimal effort of
placing their litter in a trash can.
If we can accomplish this, I further
believe it will free our maintenance
people to spend more of their valuable
time in mowing and trimming. This
would result in Lamar University
having a truly beautiful campus, one of
which we could all be very proud.
Sincerely,
Ron Wesbrooks

Well, here it is-another fall af-
ter a summer that somehow got
away too fast. Back to books and
trying to keep eyes open during
boring classes after late nights.
Anyway, in their spare time,
most students look for en-
tertainment. This column at-
tempts to keep you up to date on
musical and special happenings
around town, in Houston and in
Lake Charles.
Any information that any of
you have we might not have
picked up on, let us know. Just
come by the press office (up-
stairs in the Setzer Center-
Activities Area) and pass what
you know on to us.
The good people at KLOL radio
in Houston keep us posted on
what’s happening in Houston.
Unfortunately, the hardest in-
formation to get is about local
things-but I’ll keep trying.
