D. Brown Spends Summer
On German Dairy Farm
By DAVID BROWN
"Guten Morgan Heir Brown.
Das wetter ist schon ja?"
"Uh uh oh ja ja."
If these German words confuse
you you can appreciate my feel-
ings as I awaited the arrival of
my employer at the bahnhof
(railway station) in Kempten
Germany. How in the world
would I understand her? What
should I say? ... A short sun-
tanned woman stepped up to me
and said "Hello you are Herr
Brown?"
From that first meeting with
Frau Hanna Leichtle to our truly
sorrowful parting seven weeks
later my days were filled with
wonders surprises eye-openers
and a few embarrassing moments.
The lesson was soon learned that
open eyes and a closed mouth
often times serve one well in a
strange land.
During my brief stay in Ger-
many this summer I worked ir-
regardless of weather conditions
on a dairy farm. With 46 cows
to be fed and milked every day
with a harvest of hay to be
brought in and with the seeming-
ly endless jobs of farm life to be
done there was little time left
to travel around the countryside.
The 75 college students with
whom I traveled to Europe had
made a. hasty ten-day tour of
Netherlands Belgium France
Italy and Switzerland. However
I was fortunate to have worked
for an understanding woman.
Almost every weekend my Fin-
nish roommate and I were shown
some of the beauty of southern
Germany and nearby Austria.
"Ja aber das wetter war sehr
schlecht."
AH of Europe complained of the
rain this summer. To have prac-
tically all our work clothes wet
or in the process of drying and
to have to work in a fine mist or
spasmodic downpour can be dis-
couraging. We complained of the weather
a great deal. But nothing could
have kept me from falling in love
with the people with their in-
teresting customs with their love
for the rich cultural heritage that
is theirs and with a hospitality
comparable to that of our South.
Despite my lack of knowledge
of the German language despite
the rain the occasional "faux
pas" and the all-too-quick pas-
sage of time I count my nine
weeks in Europe as an unforget-
table experience one which I
hope to repeat someday.

Willoughby has compiled a library
nanaoooK "Your j-iiorary Jvey
which serves as a guide to the
services and resources of the
library. Students may secure a
copy of the handbook at the cir-
culation desk free of charge.
The 53-page booklet includes
floor-plans 'of the library expla-
nations of the card catalogue the
classification system and periodi-
cal indexes. An annotated list of
selected reference books is in-
cluded as are summaries of ser-
vices offered a history of the
library and its regulations.
In 1921 there were only 10000
books available to Hardin-Sim-mons
University students. There
are now more than 100000 items
with more than 3000 books
added annually.
Statistics included in a recent
4-year report reveal that there
were 120420 books circulated in
the 1959-60 fiscal year. This is
an average of approximately 63
books read per student during the
year.
Supplementing the wide selec-
tion of books the library offers
access to more than 500 periodi-
cals microfilms filmstrips mo
tion pictures and several hun-
dred phonograph records.
In order to make books and
reading attractive and convenient
to the students the library sup-
plies collections of "liesure-time
reading books" in the five dormi-
tory libraries.
This year there are 17 student
assistants in the library serving
as clerical helpers.
To further aid freshmen in their
use of the library Miss Wil-
loughby conducted a Library
Orientation class Monday

has not been able to absorb much
additional enrollment without
lowering the University's stand-
ards. H-SU has been operating
at full capacity and without ad-
ditional dormitories and class-
rooms for the past two years Dr.
Reiff told reporters Friday.
The University's enrollment has
jumped more than 10 percent
since 1958 when a short recruiting
program was started. Dormitories
both men's and women's have
been at or near overflowing since
two years ago. Reiff also stated
that the school's enlistment activi-
ties has been curtailed and more
strict attitude is held in regard
to accepting transfer students.
Because of the lack of facili-
ties some Baptist schools have
had to turn away students. There
is one other school of the denomi-
nation that has taken all the
freshmen women's dormitory res-
ervations it can take this school
year.
To accommodate a larger en-
rollment the school will need
(more academic facilities and fac-
ulty members and also more
dormitory space.
"If our denomination wants us
4o take care of our share of the
increasing enrollments it must
-give us the facilities" Dr. Reiff
said. "If not we will care for
those for whom we can care well.
We will not invite students to
come to our campus for a sub-
standard education."

Objectives of Adjectives
Prof. Amour
A broad study of the adjective bon in syntax with ban soir bon ami and
bon grooming. Lecture on bon grooming with 'Vaseline' Hair Tonic
illustrating the fact that 'Vaseline' Hair Tonic replaces oil that water
removes. Examination of adverse effects on hair resulting from drying
action of water compounded by hair creams and alcohol tonics. Exhibi-
tion of how bad grooming puts you out of context with the opposite
sex. Special emphasis on how 'Vaseline' Hair Tonic keeps hair neater
longer and attracts women as Paris does tourists. Homework drills on
Saturday evenings stressing plurals rather than singulars. Course aims
at getting along in any language . . . especially the language of love.
Jeunefilles prefer hommcs who use
'Vaseline' Hair Tonic for bon grooming!
