Award established for
outstanding journalist
Outstanding journalism students
at H-SU beginning this year will
receive the Naomi Hatton Kincaid
Journalism Award according to Dr.
Elwin L.Skiles president. The new
catalog for the 1973-74 year will
carry a description of the award.
The award has been established
by provisions of a bequest from the
will of tho late Mrs. Kincaid a
Southwest historian writer and
educator who died in 1971.
For several years prior to the
death of Mrs. Kincaid she and her
late husband provided funds to be
given the outstanding journalism
student at the Awards Day program
at H-SU
Dr. Skiles explained that Mrs.
Kincaid's will "provided that $25 of
the income from the bequest be
designated each year as an award
to the outstanding journalism stu-
dent and that the remainder of the
income be used for the benefit of the
Journalism Departmet."
Recipients of the award are chosen
by Sherwyn McNair associate pro-
fessor of journalism and head of the
department and the journalism
faculty.
Because of Mrs. Kincaid's interest
in tho journalism program at H-SU
the award has been renamed the
Naomi Hatton Kincaid Journalism
Award Dr. Skiles said.

The question was raised at last
week's Congress meeting as to why
students have to pay $2 for lost meal
tickets and where the money goes.
Randy Perkins submitted the
question which was partially
answered by Walt Kehoe food ser-
vice director. Kehoe replied to
several suggestions of other types of
meal tickets.
He said that plastic ID-like tickets
would cost $10 to be replaced if lost.
He said that the school gets the
money from tickets but he was not
sure exactly what the money was
used for.
Stroope named to
state BSU council
Mike Stroope BSU president is
one of eighteen students from Texas
colleges named to the State BSU
Council.
A junior from Dallas Stroope is
serving his second term as BSU
president. He was elected to the
council during the BSU leadership
Training Conference at Southwest-
ern seminary last weekend.
Marshall Walker director of
religious activities aided in the
workshop and Dr. James Flamming
pastor of the First Baptist Church
was a featured speaker.
Flamming told the group that
they had three options "You can
leave tho church you can stay in
it and bellyache or you can love it.
The church is not meant for perfec-
tion. It is a workshop where a Chris-
tian perfects his skills."
The conference was sponsored by
tho Texas Baptist Division of Stu-
dent Work to orient BSU leaders and
give guidance in outreach.
Kehoe added that having a higher
price for meal tickets makes them
valuable. A person would be less
inclined to lose a ticket if it cost $2
to replace rather than 10 cents.
"It makes a meal ticket something
you don't want to lose" Dean Alvin
Austin added.
Kehoe urged Congress members
to come up to him with any sugges-
tions. "We'll look into anything" he
said.
Sharon Townley was appointed to
form a committee to look into where
the money goes.
Carol Baldwin asked if the park-
ing stickers on the cars were being
enforced. Dean Austin replied that
they were not being enforced very
much. He said no replacement had
been made yet of the campus police-
man who died last year.
He added that money from park-
ing fines goes into a scholarship
fund.
Perkins reporting on the Dinner
Theatre said a tentative date had
been set but no confirmation has
been received yet. Congress voted tq
accept a suggestion that the All-
School Talent Show be held the same
night as the Dinner Theatre.
Mary Martin reported that Con-
gress made $4.45 on singing valen-
tines at the Valentine's Day Dinner.
Congress decided to put the money
in a special fund to be used later
in the year.
President John Conlon said he
thought there were chimes in the
chapel. He said a former dean had
mentioned to him at homecoming
that there used to be chimes in the
chapel.
Mike Hamlin was appointed to
check and see if there were still any
chimes. Conlon suggested that if
there were chimes it would be a
good idea to "get them ringing
again."
Bronco staff
goes to Dallas
The Bronco staff has been busy
readying the annual for its publica-
tion deadlines.
In preparation of the book the
staff traveled to Taylor Publishing
Company in Dallas last Tuesday
where the front cover design and
printing type styles were chosen.
Basketball team to be
honored Thursday night
The Cowgirls a women's service
club will fete the Cowboy basketball
team Thursday night in an apprecia-
tion dinner for the team's accom-
plishments this season according to
Cowgirl President Peggy Click.
The basketball team will be
seated at a head table in the
cafeteria at the 5:00 dinner.
"I think the team has done a fan-
tastic job and the Cowgirls want to
let them know that we're proud of
them and that we're behind them"
Miss Click said.
The Cowboys finished their 1972-
73 season last night in Taylor
County Coliseum against South
Alabama. The game was the only
one standing between the Cowboys
and a clean sweep of all home games.
"We want to let the students have

tion to the Cowboys" Miss Click
said.
