Phones ring for annual fund
by Ray C. Brooks
and Amy Paige Wolf
Student Foundation has a mis-
sion: To surpass $44,000 in
pledges for TWO's Annual Fund
in five days.
Set on looking toward a bright-
er future and a new beginning
Student Foundation will kickoff
the annual phonathon. Sunday
Feb. 14 at 1:30 p.m. upstairs in
the Quadrangle.
According to Debbie I.omax.
president of Student Foundation
this year's goal is to surpass last
year's pledges of which 90 per-
cent was collected.
This year there will be a new
twist. Instead of enlisting the
help of the service and social
Greek organizations alone. Lomax
has appealed to all campus or-
ganizations to help this year.
This will provide a format for
all facets of the campus to come
together to raise funds for the
school.
This is the first year for
every organization — honor, so-
cial. service, etc. — to be in-
volved," Lomax added. "It's a
new beginning.’’
Lomax is also encouraging
teachers to get involved, “be-
cause they are just as important
on this campus.”
To celebrate the kick off of the
Phonathon, Student Foundation
will sponsor a phone booth stuff-
ing contest during free period,
Tuesday, Feb. 16, in the SUB.
Some believe that the Phona-
thon is a whole lot of work for
a little bit of money.
"This is more for goodwill
instead of dollars,'' said Deborah
Hawkins of the Development Of-
fice. The Phonathon presents a
very important public relations
tool for alumni — school rela-
tions.
"Ninety-nine percent of the
time people are very receptive.”
said Laurie Anderson, also from
the Development Office.
It is not unusual for students
to get policy questions as well
as inquiries about former pro-
fessors, fraternity and sorority
affiliations.
The biggest expense of the
Phonathon remains the longdis-
tance phone call charge.
There will be prizes for in-
dividuals and organizations that
raises the most money each eve-
ning and for the overall phonc-
athon, which will end Feb. 18.
Each participant will receive a
commerative koozie (cold drink

Additional funds offered
to department scholars
A resurrection of the Depart-
mental Scholarship Program is
in the making. Because of lack
of funding, the departmental
scholarships were discontinued in
1986-87. However, an appropriate
budget has been found to bring
back this program and the schol-
arships will continue as long as
funding allows.
According to Larry Smith,
Dean of Admissions and Finan-
cial Aid, this resurrection of de-
partmental scholarships is an
“additional recruiting strategy
we want to implement.”
High school students and jun-
ior college transfers are encour-
aged to apply for scholarships
in the schools of Business, Edu-
cation and Science/Humanities.
The number of awards to be
given will be determined by the
scholarship budgets of the re-
spective departments. The awards
range from $500 to $1,500 per
year and are based on the stu-
dents’ academic ability and need.
The concept behind this pro-
gram is to unite prospective
students with a specific school
early on, said Smith.
“This generates quality stu-
dents for the freshman class,”
Smith explained. “Better stu-
dents mean higher retention
rates.”
High school students can quali-
fy for this program by ranking
in the top 30 percent of their
senior class, scoring at least a
23 on the ACT or a 940 on the
SAT, and acceptance for admis-
sion by TWC.
Junior college transfers must
have completed 30 credit hours,
an accumulated GPA of 3.0, and
acceptance for admission to
TWC. Deadline for application
for these scholarships is Feb. 19,
1988.
In addition to this scholarship
program, TWC's School of Fine
Arts will be awarding scholar-
ships for outstanding students in

Two Golden Shears awarded
by Amy Paiga Wolf
The “new and improved" Gold-
en Shears Committee recently
presented awards to two out-
standing students for their con-
tributions to the campus and
their academic achievements.
At the Howdy Dance on Jan. 22,
Junior Debbie Lomax was pre-
sented the Golden Shears award
by committee member Paul Aus-
tin. The 20-year-old Kileen resi-
dent serves as president of Stu-
dent Foundation, pledge mom of
Gamma Phi Beta sorority and re-
cording secretary of the Food
Committee. She is a member
of Psi Chi, the psychology hon-
or society and Phi Beta Lambda
the business fraternity. Lomax
is also a Sigma Phi Epsilon
little sister and works in the
Development Office.
As president of Student Foun-
dation, Lomax has propelled the
public relations organization to
become more visible. She would
like to see the Foundation be-
come more involved with the ad-
ministration, faculty, staff, and
alumnae.
“We want to help the college
as much as the college has help-
ed us," said Lomax.
A business psychology major,
Lomax wants to continue her
education in the Fort Worth
area after graduation in May
1989. She hopes to pursue a
career as a psychologist for a
large business or corporation,
and eventually move into the
realm of child psychology.
"I want to do something where
I won’t personally gain, but can
help others," Lomax explained.
Vice chairman Eric Gollihar
presented junior basketball guard
John Saladin with the second
Golden Shears award at the Jan.
29 basketball game.
Saladin, who sprained his
ankle during the first minute of
play, did not realize he had won
the award until he actually sat
down and read the certificate.
His parents who had driven five
hours to see him play, got an
unexpected surprise in seeing
their son win an award.
In addition to playing basket-
ball, Saladin is a member of the
Fellowship of Christian Athletes
and is a Phi Mu Big Brother. As
a freshman he was inducted into
the Alpha Lambda Delta.
The 20-year-old economics/fi-
nance major who hails from
Houston says that sports have
played a major part iri his life
and have taught him the value
of competition and teamwork.
“It’s become my personality
now,” said Saladin. "Sometimes
you’re not the one scoring all
the points but you're out there
giving support."
Saladin cites his father as his
personal hero and hopes to fol-
low in his father’s footsteps of
success.
“He’s doing what he’s wanted
to do all of his life — own his
own business," said Saladin. “If
you work long enough and hard
enough, you can get what you
want out of life.”
