We are wondering how the individual or individuals
who so cleverly set off the alarm clock in chapel Tuesday
morning would feel if he or they had to speak with bells
ringing through the chapel!!
We have seen some pretty asinine and childish things
on the campus but this one takes the cake.
Whd'i. Apiakt?
Ono noint. wf of the Brand would like to make clear
this week is the position we haven't taken in reference to
the recent "paddlings" given lower classmen by old mem-
bers of the Cowboy Band.
We didn't take a stand editorially last week because
we felt it was not our place to make such a decision we '11
leave that to the administration. No one student group or
individual has to this time influenced editorial opinion
and as far as we are concerned never will.

Most readers of the recently issued Corral would be
likely to nod an appreciative head at the suggestion that the
fall issue was well executed and cleverly arranged. They
would be apt to agree that the new size and cover design
have done much toward giving the publication a face-lifting.
But what is the general reaction to the contents of the
magazine? Any reader who has given it more than a brief
glance is bound to have noticed at least one outstanding
fact the shortage of material.
The Corral represents a student body of nearly 1400
yet it contains the work of 14 contributors. Several of these
appeared twice in the magazine and some had as many
as three contributions listed.
Such an unbalanced sampling of student talent sug-
gests one of two things the inability of the staff to choose
materials or the disinterest of the student body. Unfor-
tunately the latter is the major difficulty.
The Corral is edited by a capable staff but a staff can-
not make a magazine. Its responsibility ends with the as-
sembling of submitted material of which there was a
noticeable scarcity in this instance.

Mnnv nnrl varied systems for the registration of stu
dents at H-SU have been tried during the history of Har-din-Simmons.
Each of them in some way has had faults.
Now the administration has come up with an entirely
different system that of registering students according to
last name only. Classification on honor rating has nothing
to do with the new method.
But here's hoping it works. And we think it will if each
person will take into consideration its advantages and co-
operate to every extent.

The unknown and unsung hero
who named this week before
final exams "Dead Week" knew
whereof he spoke. If H-SUers
weren't dead when they started
into it they will be dead by the
time Monday morning dawns and
actual finals begin.
Enough of morbid philosophy.
Basketball players really hit the
spotlight this week as they be-
came the stars of the pre-game
introduction of coaches and play-
ers of the two teams. These gla- t
mour meetings with the players '
are arranged by the Student
Council which has also fostered
the programs for the games.
Players are met individual-
ly at iho entrance to the court
by a spotlight in the dark-
ened field house and that
light follows him as he at-
tempts a crip shot at the
basket. In the mean time the
announcer is giving the
player's name height and
position. Quite Hollywoodish
but an awfully good way to
got numbers and names to-
gether. Speaking around of coaches
and such we heard a good story
this week concerning Joe Grba
athletic trainer for the Cowboys.
Grba is taking an economics
course this semester with Prof.
W. C. Ribble and with the last
test the Prof handed back he
said to Grba "Joe you just got
in so deep in your discussions on
this paper that I just couldn't
follow you." And according to
the story Grba looked at Ribble
and offered "Come by sometime
and I'll explain it to you."
Mrs. Maurice Martin who has
been out of classes since Christ-
mas with a stubborn case of in-
testinal flu is reported to be at
home now after a stay in the
hospital. She says that she hopes
to be back among the pottery and
paints of the art department be-
fore long.
Among the pottery for this
semester and maybe the next is
Robert McDonald. Reason for his
sojourn in the clay and kiln dig-
gings is the statuette of a Cow-
Choral conducting seems to be
routine with Sue Hooker recent-
ly elected student-director of the
Hardin - Simmons A Cappella
Choir.
Miss Hooker graduate student
at H-SU has had seven years'
experience as a choir director.
Following graduation from Hardin-Simmons
in 1946 she went
to Baird where for three years
she taught public school music
and directed an elementary
choir.
From Baird Miss Hooker went
to Temple where for four years
she was director of a junior high
school choir.
Is Violinist Also
In addition to her singing capa-
cities she is in accomplished
boy Band member in full uniform
which he modeling in cjay.
The supreme accomplish-
ment' of McDonald's work in
pottery the band member
has been in production for
three months and McDonald
feels that if the figurine
isn't finished by the end of
this semester he'll just have
to take pottery again to
complete the job.
Seems that H-SU is develop-
ing a polar bear club. A group of
PE students are planning to go
swimming in February. Of course
to take the edge off the cold
and keep away the polar bears is
the fact that the water activities
will take place in the Marston
Gym pool. Mrs. Gene Offield is
the instructor of the special PE
group which will take the plunge.
The Hunter girls didn't sneak
out last Saturday night to at-
tend the midnight preview. It
was all official and chaperoned.
Since the dorm residents didn't
get to make their usual trip to the
Halloween midnight show the
Hope show last week was chosen
to take its place.
We came to with a bang the
other night at the Wolters
basketball game that the
Cowgirl Band didn't know
iho H-SU anthem without
the music and without re-
hearsal. Then we found out
it wasn't the band's fault.
Seems the director wasn't in-
formed until lime to play the
anthem. Wo agree with him
that is was much better not
to play it unrehearsed.
Please have a look at the
violinist. During her senior year
of undergraduate study at H-SU
she was concert mistress of the
University Orchestra; she is at
present constantly in demand for
community work in string en-
sembles. Miss Hooker now is working
toward the degree of master of
education with a minor in music.
Besides her study here she has
had three semesters work at
North Texas State College Den-
ton. At North Texas she studied
voice under Ralph Ewing former
soloist with the Chicago Opera
Company.
Music Educator
She also was in the North
Texas A Cappella Choir then di-
rected by Dr. Wilfred C. Bain
Dr. Baine is a renowned music
educator and is now head of the
school of music at the University
of Indiana.
A native Abilenian Miss Hook-
er resides here with her parents
Mi- and Mrs. P. A. Hooker. In
addition to her choral duties at
H-SU she is alto soloist in the
choir of the First Baptist Church.
Brand's mast head this week.
A mast head for those unlettered
in journalese is the little box on
this page which carries the names
of the staff addresses of the of-
fices of the paper and other odd-
ments. Note this week that
something new has been added.
The Brand has become a member
in good standing of the Associat-
ed Collegiate Press.
The ACP is as the name im-
plies an association of college
papers which submit copies of
each issue to a board of judges
for rating and correction. Ye
Brand is now being corrected
and rated. And don't say that it's
about time.
Registrar Alton B. Lee has
been doing a lot of research
lately on the past and pres-
ent enrollment of H-SU.
This week the object of his
efforts has been released a
now schedule for spring sem-
ester registrati6n. The new
arrangement eliminates reg-
istration by glasses entirely
and lets all students whose
last names begin with a cer-
tain letter register at the
same time no matter what
classification they are.
To arrive at the schedule re-
