Stamp Lickers
Members of the Hardin-
Simmons Cowboy Band have all
taken up stamp collecting this
semester but it's not the kind of
hobby that qualifies them for
the philatelic society.
Their interest is Green
Stamps which they've got the
freshmen bandsmen busy lick-
ing and placing in books work-
ing toward a goal of 3000 books.
That's the number needed for a
new equipment truck for the
band.
"We've wanted an equipment
truck of our own for a long time"
said Director Lawson Hager.
"And someone had the bright
idea of getting one with Green
Stamps. It seemed almost im-
possible at first but we're mak-
ing progress."
Hager said the band members
felt they could solicit Green
Stamps from band exes and
friends without feeling they
were asking for money.
"They would just like to have
any Green Stamps or any other
trading stamps or exes and
friends lying around collecting
dust" Hager said. So far even
without the word being spread
very much hundreds of books
have been received.

Panowski associate professor

participants will earn college
credit" will be carried out in
conjunction with H-SU's regu-
lar summer school session.
It will be known as the Van
Ellis Summer Theater and will
involve five stage productions
each to run for at least a week.
The productions will include a
comedy a drama a Bicenten-
nial Salue a mystery-

"All students will participate

backstage activities as set con-
struction properties cos-
tumes lighting sound public-

Spring Fling Helps
Spread the 'Fever'
March winds invariably blow
in a very contagious germ which
infects the student population
with Spring Fever. Since no cure
exists for the disease Moody
Center Planning Committee
Saga Food and the BSU have de-
cided not to fight it but to see
that everyone gets the Fever.
To do this they are jointly
sponsoring a Spring Fling next
Thursday Mar. 11.
The Fling will begin with the
BSU-sponsored "Rockathon" at
noon. In this event the various
organizations on campus will be
rocking for contributions from
Abilene businesses. Members of
each "rock group" will spend the
day taking turns in their team's
ram" Dr. Panowski said. "One
is that we will set up a dessert
theater which will add to the
intimacy of our arena theater.
Another is that all students will
be involved in all phases of the-
ater production. This will be
their whole life for the entire 1 1
weeks. It will be different col-
lege experience in that they
won't have to worry about a his-
professor in English and Mrs.
Delores Martin assistant pro-
fessor in English will partici-
pate in the conference.
Mrs. Martin read a paper
"Swift and the Drapier: Plain
Spokesmen" during one of the
meetings.
Maynard Mack Sterling Pro-
fessor of English and director of
the National Humanities Insti-
tute at Yale University is the
featured speaker of the convention.

The most unusual feature of
the program will be that all five
plays will be re-run during the
final week.
"Each play will be revived for
oiie performance." Dr.
Panowski said. "This will per-
mit people to see plays they
missed during the regular
schedule."
Dr. Panowski now m his sec-
ond year at I I-SU. said the plays
have not definitely been cho-
sen but that all will have popu-
lar appeal.
"We will make tickets availa-
ble to everyone in the commun-
ity and probably will offer spe-
cial prices to clubs and other or-
ganizations which would like to
attend as a group" Dr.
Panowski said.
The tentative schedule calls
for classes and rehearsals the
first three weeks of the session
beginning June 2. This would
be followed by the comedy the
drama the Bi-Centennial pro-
duction the mystery and the
musical in successive weeks.
The musical is planned for a
two-week run.
