Goostree Symposium held;
20 women students attend
Just when you thought it was
a free semester and you weren't
going to get a tuition bill, one is
laying on your table. After two
months of school, the first tui-
tion bills went out last Friday.
There is a reason for the delay.
The Business, Financial Aid,
Housing and Registrar's offices
have been working hard to get
all of their respective billings on
a new computer program that
ties their departments together
to make billing easier and much
more efficient. It has taken about
18 months from the planning
stages to its actual implementa-
tion to get the systems tied to-
gether under one program, but,
according to Comptroller Art
Husband, the wait has been
worth it.
"Our work load is tremendous-
ly reduced and our accuracy
greatly increased," Husband said.
The new-styled bills will ex-
plain all of the expenses the stu-
dent is being billed for, listing
The Student Government Asso-
ciation has made some different
plans for this year’s homecoming.
SGA has decided to replace the
traditional parade with a campus
decorating contest. The parade
was replaced to provide a contest
in which more organizations could
participate, and because the de-
corations will be up all week,
more people will be able to en-
joy them.
“Wesleyan Ignites with Dyna-
mite” is this year’s homecoming
theme. SGA would like to have
all entries set up on Monday,
Nov. 14. Judging will be done on
Thursday, Nov. 17, at free period
during the chili cook-off and pep
rally The homecoming game will
be at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday,
Nov. 19.
the charges, credits and balance
according to semesters. Husband
has included a note of explana-
tion with the new statement to
make understanding easier. He
warns, the system still is not
without bugs.
"We think we have most every-
thing in there," Husband explain-
ed. "But, there will be errors
... we know there will be prob-
lems.
“It takes generally a year to a
year and a half to get the system
to work efficiently."
If there is some discrepancy
on the bill, Husband suggests
that when the student sends his
payment to the office to attach
the statement with a note of
what is wrong and the office will
handle it promptly.
No late charges will be admin-
istered for the past payment
periods.
"This will be confusing at first,
but we’re still making changes,”
said Husband. “Still, this is so
much, much better."
compete must turn in an entry
form by Wednesday, Nov. 9.
Forms are in the SGA office. The
name of the organization, a de-
scription of the display, and its
location is requested. If the en-
try is found to be offensive, SGA
may alter it.
Other traditions will continue.
Homecoming King and Queen will
be elected Wednesday and Thurs-
day before the game and will be
crowned at halftime.
The Spirit Award will be given
to the organization that shows
the most campus spirit through-
out Homecoming Week. The or-
ganization which wins will hold
the Spirit Cup until next year.
The current holder is Alpha Phi
Omega. Other trophies will be
given to first, second and third
in the cook-off and the decora-
tion competition.

The seventh annual Goostree
Women's Symposium was held in
the Science Lecture Theater Fri-
day, Oct. 28. Women who were
invited attended. The symposium
is for the women of the commu-
Mcmbers of TWC’s Young
Democrats protested the showing
of the video "Justice on Fur-
lough" Friday in room 17-B of
the West Library. The video was
critical of Governor Dukakis and
the Massachusetts prison furlough
program. The video was present-
ed by Dr. Joy Edwards.
Young Democrat Clayton Hus-
band said, "We protested because
we believe the unauthorized
nity. Twenty female college stu-
dents are invited each year.
It cost $20 to attend, and re-
servations had to be made in
advance. It started at 2 p.m.
with registration in the McFad-
den building. At 2:30, President
showing of the video was unfair
use of college facilities and equip-
ment for a political reason.”
"It was political pornography,”
said Harvey Jackson.
The video focused on Willie
Horton, a black convict fur-
loughed under the Massachusetts
rehabilitation program. Horton
deserted the program, and the
video depicted him going on a
rampage of violence and rape.

Bawcom gave the welcoming
speech, then Dean Pohl made
the opening remarks. Next, Joan
Kline, one of the Community
Leaders on the Steering Commit-
tee, introduced the speaker, Mrs.
Liz Carpenter. At 3:00, she spoke.
At 3:45, everyone took a re-
freshment break. At four, session
two started, and there was a
panel discussion, followed by a
question and answer period. Din-
ner was at 6:00 in the Quadrangle
room. An invocation was given,
Mrs. Carpeter gave the keynote
address, then Dean Pohl gave
some closing remarks.
The purpose of the symposium
is to gather community women
together to address women’s is-
sues and right the wrongs in
society. Faye Goostree set up an
endowment in 1982 so that this
purpose might be achieved at
Texas Wesleyan. Only 120 wom-
en can attend, because a small
group atmosphere is needed to
induce free talking and question-
ing during the symposium.
Mrs. Goostree was described as
a giving woman, very interested
in women’s affairs, the affairs
of the community, and the af-
fairs of the world. She was a
member of First United Methodist
Church of Fort Worth for fifty
years, involved in United Meth-
odist Women on the local and
conference levels. She helped to
organize the Bethlehem Center
of Fort Worth in 1940. She
was involved in community
affairs, such as the United Way
of Metropolitan Tarrant County,
Meals on Wheels, and the Tar-
rant County Area Agency on Ag-
ing.
She was a third-generation
Texan, born on her grandfather's
farm. Her father was a minister.
She married Lacy W. Goostree in
1918, had two children, four
grandchildren, and four great-
grandchildren. Her philosophy
was: "Everyone has something to
give and a responsibility to devel-
