Maybe the leaders of Hardin-Simmons grow tired of
hearing us complain but we hope they don't weary of hear-
ing us saying "thank you" because we'd like to do it again
and again.
This time the "thank you" is for the chapel speech of
last Saturday made by.PresidentvRupert N- Richardson. In
that speech the president and administration for the first
time tpld the student body what makes the financial wheels
of the university go around.
He explained our share in the financial support of the
university and what other sources are used to keep the in-
stitution from operating at a deficit. He told us why we
have a registration fee and not an activity fee. He even had
figures comparing tuition fees here with those of other
Baptist colleges and universities showing the charges of
H-SU to be slightly under the average.
President Richardson made us part of the university
when he and other leaders of the administration let us in
on the inner-workings of bur school.

Memosialdc Mamenfo
It's funny how things that happened in days gone by
seem to grow dearer to us with the passing of time. We
all remember the picnics proms banquets and all of those
things that we did in high school and with just the memory
of them they seem to grow better.
It is going to be the same way when we leave Hardin-
Simmons. In the hustle and bustle of college life we will
miss many of the pleasures and benefits that could have
been ours.
Sometimes we must miss these things because of a con.
flicting class or engagement or for any number of reasons.
Sometimes the excuse is that "it costs too much" or "I
can't get a date" or "I never attended anything like that."
The people who attend these events which are now
available to them will in most cases have their college lives
enriched not to mention the memories that will be theirs.
An event that is designed to honor the graduating
senior is rapidly approaching. It's the annual Junior-Senior
banquet.
By attending you'll never wonder about what you miss-
ed for you will know that your days on the forty acres
were a little brighter because you were "one of the bunch
that attended the Junior-Senior banquet." Pratt.
OljectUte Wide.
Time and time again this year we have said through our
editorial columns that we think this year's student govern-
ment hasv been the best we've seen.
And the guys and gals on the council already are striv-
ing to make this next semester the best and most effective
student government yet.
To accomplish this the council has chosen three objec-
tives of student government for this next semester. Briefly
they are (1) to improve the field of sportsmanship on the
campus; (2) to raise the level or standards of social on the
campus so as to have better socials more frequently; and (3)
to stress the importance of good citizenship through elec-
tions. Council members faculty advisors and campus leaders
are working together to help these things become a reality.
But without the suggestions and help of the student body
each will fail. People seem to gripe enough about the student
government on the forty acres but when it comes time to
make suggestions they seem to take the back seat.
Each Council meeting is op'en to any member of the
student body. Opinions and hints to the betterment of the
entire set-up are welcomed by members and administrative
bodies alike. Your interest and co-operation probably will
say whether better student government on the forty acres
will succeed or fail.

Things have been buzzing
around the Brand office as the
staff tried to get out a paper and
at the same time arrange for the
presentation of the Beauty and
the Beast
After wrestling with the frame
for the large map of Texas used
in the presentation and lugging
the boxes from downtown and
then from one building to another
the Brand bunch felt a little beat
when they got around to round-
ing up the copy for this week's
issue. But all the cactus got up in
the right places and all the paint-
ing got done and the budget got
balanced and there were still
enough to pay for the affair. And
that includes the date for the
Beauty and Beast.
Those other people paint-
ing things in GI Hall axe
members of the BSU who are
remodeling the old engineer-
ing drawing room for use as
a religious meeting place.
The sides and ceiling of the
room are being painted robin
egg blue while the front is
being redecorated in rose
beige.
. This combination of blue and
pink brought forth the comment
from some of the workers that
the color scheme was "for all
God's little children". Among
those working -and kibitzing on
the job were Clinton Watson
Fred Davidson Jackie Taylor
Bill Cagle Jack Sheriff Chuck
De Vinpy. James Flaming Gene
Tone Alfred' Woodard and
Joyce Harrison.
Undiscovered talent in our
midst is Dean Truett Walton.
Anyone visiting the official cal-
endar of the university lately has
probably noticed the American
primitive drawings of the Dean
decorating certain dates on said
calendar. We believe he rivals
Grandma Mdses in. simplicity
and sincerity of subject. His latest
sketches include a large double
T in red and black ornamenting
the date of the Tech vs. H-SU
basketball game Tuesday. An-
other is the drawing of a church
in black and white on the first
day of religious focus week. This
sketch includes the lettering rel
emphasis followed by a long dash
that extends through the week.
Seems that spring has come
to the forty acres. Bright
colors are appearing on the
male animal all around the
campus.' Dean E d w i n
Young has been sporting a
maroon shirt with a blue
and red tie. Dr Fred Fisher
brings out a kelly green
corduroy shirt occasionally.
But taking the cake on color is
Tim Jones of the Cowboy Band.
Tuesday after the band returned
from its odessey to New York
Tim was wearing a chartreuse
checked shirt with mesquite
green trousers and forest green
cowboy boots. Even the dogs of
the Student Center seemed to like
the combination. Hope that is
why they kept following Tim
and not because they felt kind-
ship with his Fracas Week
beard started early.
Sort of missed the band while
it was gone. It really gives a cer-
tain flavor to student life that
nothing else can. The band was
back in full force in time to play
for the Tech basketball tilt The
perpetual favorite "Que Rico"
showed us for the first time
Harry Walker and the South
American version of the tom-
tom that he plays for the num-
ber. He sits cross-legged in typi-
cal native fashion while slapping
the little drums with his hands.
A welcome home was given
tho band when the Cowgirls
shouted to lhem after a num-
ber "I Like Ike" which had
been the battle cry of the
Eisenhower rally in New
York.
When Joe Wallis is discovered
studying cloud formation with an
absorbed air nowadays it is main-
ly the fault of the Junior-Senior
banquet for which Joe is design-
ing gome interesting decorations.
And fluffy clouds are part of the
scheme he is working on.
"He knows the season is over but he's afraid ole Prof. Snaxf will
forget he's an athlete."
tf-aWi Veterans (letwm
Jf-S GanfuU life
Four men whose studies at
Hardin-Simmons were interrupt-
ed by recall to the armed forces
have returned this semester to
"their classes at H-SU.
Two Marines DaVid Rushing
and John Fred Phillips; a Navy
veteran Clyde Goodlett; and Ro-
bert Walker Army; are four of
the first returnees from the Ko-
rean conflict
Rushing one of the three Hardin-Simmons
rodeo team mem-
bers who enlisted in the Marines
early in December of 1950 is the
second of the three to receive a
discharge. "Red" Frazier veteran
of Korean fighting was wound-
ed and returned to the United
States last falL
Stili In Service
James Mickler the third mem-
ber of the team is still in the
Marines serving air craft carrier
duty in Korean waters. Rushing
reports that Mickler hopes to re-
turn to civilian life sometime in
April.
Rushing Frazier and Mickler
stayed together through basic
training at Camp Pendleton
Calif. then Mickler transferred
into the sea-going branch of the
Marines while Rushing and Fraz-
ier stayed in the Third Marine
Division.
When orders came to ship out
Rushing was in the hospital and
Frazier left for Korea without
him. Within a few days the order
came through that veterans with
overseas service in the Second
World War did not- have to serve
overseas again unless they volun-
teered for such duty. That order
kept Rushing in California be-
cause of his tour of duty in Italy
with the Army during the Euro-
pean campaigns of the last war.
Just Went Too
When asked why he joined the
Marines instead of going back
into the Army Rushing answered
that when his buddies JTrazier
and Mickler wanted to go into
the Marines he just went with
them.
The agriculture major may
transfer to Tech or A&M to fin-
ish his degree if he continues
with 'that major but at present
he is considering changing to
.either PE or geology.
At any rate David will be back
in the saddle with the H-SU ro-
deo team this spring. His speciali-
ties are bull riding and bareback
bronc riding. Before entering
the Marines Rushing had won or
placed high in competition in
those two events at Stamford
'Post and Mineral Wells rodeos.
Phillips the second Marine
veteran served three years in
that service before he came to
Hardin-Simmons in 1949. Recall-
ed to active duty in October of
1950 he sailed for Japan Dec.. 15
of that year and embarked for
Korea Jan. 6 of 1951. "You just
don't forget dates like that" he
said.
Three Weeks Ago
He served in Korea until Jan-
uary of 1952 was sent back
through Japan and finally reach-
ed Texas and his studies at H-SU
again about three weeks ago.
Seeing duty with a supply
company in the First Marine
Division which was Frazier's di-
vision too Phillips was just be-
hand the fighting line most of the
time. He saw "Dugout Doug" as
the front line troops called Gen.
Douglas MacArthur shortly before
MacArthur was relieved of his
command in the Pacific area.
Phillips did not see overseas
service during the first hitch in
the Marines but really got it this
second time.
A PE Major he missed about
three semesters of college
through the intervention of Uncle
Sam.
Goodlett received his discharge
the second time from the Navy
October 5 1951 after serving 17
months mainly in the Mediter-
ranean Theatre during his second
period of duty. With the Navy's
amphibian service Goodlett par-
ticipated in a mock invasion of
Sardinia during his Mediterran-
ean tour.
Close To Shore
Before the invasion of the is-
land Goodlett was on a ship that
carried underwater demolition
crews in close to the shore. Long
before dawn the crews left the
ship and went about their deadly
duty of blowing up coastal and
port defenses. After dawn the at-
tact transport lowered its many
landing crafts for the actual land-
ing. The attact transport on
which Goodlett served was in
this way the closest ship to the
shore when the invasion began.
But the mock battle was much
easier than the real ones he adds.
Attached to the Sixth Fleet
Goodlett served in the Carizzean
area including Cuba and the West
Indies before going to the Medi-
terranean area. At the end of his
tour of duty Goodlett left the
fleet in Naples and was flown to
Boston where he again became a
civilian.
A business administration ma-
jor he attended H-SU in 1949
and 50.
Army Man
Walker an Army man served
during his recent tour of duty
with the . adjutant general
corps in Fort Sill Okla. Recalled
late in 1950 he left the forty acres
and his pre-law work here to.
