THE MONTH
IN MOTHBALLS
BY MARTELL FREEMAN — News Reporter
Among
The
Athletes
At the southeast corner of PJC
stands a mysterious and unknown
building, awesome to most Panola
students. This is the athletic build-
ing which houses 27 atheletes (?)
from all points of Texas and Loui-
siana. Since only these atheletes
live in the aorm, many people
probably wonder just what goes
on in that little dark building.
There are many advantages to
living in a dorm that these boys
enjoy. Between classes, for ex-
ample, they can go to their rooms
to rest, Mudy, or just goof off in
private.. Many times there are
bull sessions going on where the
guys talk about baseball, their
classes, and of course-girls. This
is without a doubt a major topic
most of the athletes.
Eating facilites are magnificent
for dorm inmates. If you have a
first period class, for example,
you can sleep until 15 minutes be-
fore and then make a mad dash to
get there on time. During an off
period, you can go to Weber’s
or Joe’s to grab a snack or drop
in at the pool hall for exercise.
Many of the less adventurous
partake of the hot meals served
in the cafeteria. At night after
workouts when everyone is usual-
ly ravenous, the inmates head for
Joe’s for a good meal.
But with the good times, there
is also a matter if great impor-
tance. This is responsibility of
dorm life, not only to get along
with your mates, but also to learn
to manage your personal life with
no one to tell you what to do.
Another responsibility is the
keeping of a room. If you were
do walk into some of them, though,
you might think that this is un-
heard of. Nevertheless, Coach
Griffin has the last word about
the cleaning up, and more than
once I’ve seen boys clean a sink
of put a spit shine on the tile
many times in one night.
One thing that could show the
curious how these boys live and
the type of quarters they have
would be a visit to the dorm. And
who knows-an -open house might
be arranged before the year is
over. This might prove to be a
very interesting field trip for Mrs.
Glass’s girls.

The winter workouts of the PJC
baseball team have paid off al-
ready with a tournament win over
East Tex. Bapt. College, 6 to 3,
Kim Jacobs the winning pitcher;
and a win over Centenary Col-
lege, 1-0. The winning pitcher of
that nohitter was Randall Stan-
ford.
Coach Bill Griffin has turned up
some better than average talent
to work with returning lettermen
in their workouts begun Sept. 14.
The returning lettermen, Joe
Lowe, pitcher; Dickie Rocken-
baugh, catcher; Pete McKenzie,
pitcher; Ken Bean, pitcher; and
Larry Cook, catcher; will be
working hard to help write some
new records to surpass the ones
on display in the Sub trophy case.
Those records include a national
finalist team in ’63, as well as a
regional winner in ’64.
Terry Clark, Garland High, Dal-
las; Kim Jacobs, Eastern, Hills,
Ft. Worth; Richard Boykin, Chan-
nelview; and Robert McDonald,
Arlington; are some of the schol-
arship players.

Goldwater’s march through
Dixie several weeks back proved
very profitable. He visited four-
teen cities in a four day eight
state tour. Senator Goldwater
drew 30,000 people in Memphis
and about 27,000 in New Orleans.
The thing which seemed to make
his tour to New Orleans a success
was the fact that the Beatles drew
only 12,000 two weeks before.

The showing of HAMLET was
viewed in 971 theaters across the
country several weeks ago. The
film, in electrovision, was with-
drawn and will not be shown for
at least three years. This kind of
film is inferior because of sound
and lighting, but everyone who
viewed it can admit it was a very
interesting experiment.
This year the largest and cost-
liest Olympic Games so far will
take place in Japan. Nearly 8,400
atheleces from 98 nations will com-
pete in twenty sports events be-
tween October tenth to twenty-
fourth. More than $2 billion has
been spent on stadiums, super
highways, a yacht harbor, and a
manoraii system.
