Campus Beat
by Dick Hoag
Since thoughts of Christmas
gifts are buzzing around campus,
the following suggestions'; for the
student who has everything, might
be in ordei-. „.0
How does a girl who has spent
—her life in the cj.ty, even though
that1 city is known as "Cowtown,"
suddenly become the winner of rid-
ing^jid--r-od&o--eveafcs_?__<
-^■'"Mrs. Donna Volkman, senior
graduating in January, holds the
answer, for herself at least. She
simply moved to the country and
started riding. She learned to ride
two years ago and has been com-
peting for about a year.
Seemed Natural
She explains that she and her
husband, Donald, also a TW ex,
bought two acres of land in Burle-
son from her parents, built a house
* and moved to the country. Shortly
|pj they became the keepers of her
sister's palomino. "It just seemed
natural to start riding," she said.
They now own their own horses.
Mrs. Volkman competes in ama-
teur barrel racing in rodeos and
district competition between riding
clubs, in District 30 of the Ameri-
can Association of Sheriffs' Pos-
ses and Riding Clubs, and is a
member of the Burleson Mounties
Riding Club.
High Point Competitor
She is a high point competitor
in her club at present and she won
the Best Horse and Rider Award
at the Johnson County Old Settlers
Reunion in 1960. Awards have been
added to her collection in barrel
racing events at Burleson, Crowley
and Collinsville.
"Every member of my family
rides, even my six-year-old daugh-
ter," she said. "My two older ones,
a girl and boy, ride in competition."
The family participates in Play
Days among their own and other
clubs. These Play Days are for
the enjoyment of members and fea-
ture a multitude of riding events
and contests.
Teacher, Basketball Coach
Though Mrs. Volkman is a col-
lege senior, she has taught for four
years in the Alvarado schools, two
years in the second grade and two
years of junior high physical edu-
cation and history. She also
coached basketball in junior high.
Upon entering TWC in 1947,
Mrs. Volkman pledged Autiss soc-
ial club. She also was active in
Scia Quatore and WRA. After
three years of college, Mr. and
Mrs. Volkman left to begin their
family.
In 1957 she began her teaching
career and will resume her former
position upon graduation with a
physical education major.

rodeo club being formed on cam-
pus," she said. "I plan to partici-
pate until January."
