EDITORIALLY SPEAKINQ
Since the beginning of political campaigns and rallies and
elections and all the rest that goes with the selection of
leaders man has never been completely satisfied with the way
the leadership functions after the election is over after the
wild campaigning is done and the ticker tape has settled
down.
Hardin-Simmons is no exception. When the results of
the March 25 election are posted there will be a general cry
that something or some elected officer is all wrong. Despite
the fact that most of the complaints will come from the 50 or
60 percent of those potential voters who did not take time to
vote there will still be those who cast ballots saw a well-run
election and were given the fair and honest results and who
will wish that he or she had had more candidates to choose
from.
When the fun is over and the officers begin to serve the
year's term the complaints will possibly come thicker and
faster.
The moral of this introduction is that Hardin-Simmons is
full of students who want to run things from the sideline
rather than from the business end. The lack of interest in
the student senate-cheerleader race this year is indicative
of this. Six positions went unopposed. One position had to
be declared null and void because there were not enough
candidates to fill all the senator-at-large positions.
Most school elections full of progressive students have
several parties comparable to national groups with definite
platforms and hard-hitting campaigners seeking office. By
the end of the campaigns the leaders chosen will have strug-
gled so hard to get the positions that their election will mean
a great deal to them and to the students who elected them.
Additionally the winners will have promised to do their duties
so faithfully that they will be forced from public pressure to
actually fulfill these promises. Any victory hard gained will
produce better end products than a slip-shod and easy contest
such as we will see this year on campus.
The candidates listed on this year's ballot are not to blame
for the apathy these are the few that had the courage or
energy to run. However because of the lack of interest and
the low number of office-seekers we seem to have about a
50-50 group 50 per cent of the candidates are really interested
in serving the student body; the other 50 per cent as immature
as their campaign qualifications read are running for the
glory and honor only.
The one candidate appearing under the heading of "Presi-
dent" seems perfectly capable of running a well-organized
and successful student senate. His platform to be stated
Monday in assembly is a definite and good one. He is a
worthy campaigner as was seen in last year's race and would
make an excellent opponent if he had anything to oppose.
His abilities cannot be tested properly there is no incentive
for him to work hard for the position. This is not his fault
ineligibility of one opponent should not have left the field so
bare. There should have been four or five strong candidates
ior so important a position on the campus.
No position open has a strong number of hopefuls. For
the six available positions of cheerleader there are nine candi-
dates. The student body will have slim pickings in choosing
the all-important group of yell leaders who should be the
symbols of school spirit.
When all is said and done who can complain? Not the
fellow who neglected to vote. He has no right to complain.
Not the fellow who sat back and idly watched and was later
sorry that so-and-so "got in." So who can complain? A
slim minority of aproximately 10 per cent of the H-SU stu-
dents who have truly been interested participants.

Letter to the Editor
Dear Editor:
Since March 5 and the resound-
ing defeat of the Abilene Chris-
tian College Wildcats by 24 points
which completed Hardin-Simmons
University's best basketball sea-
son ever (W. 20 L. C City
Champs) there has not been one
word of mention made in chapel
concerning this great effort. The
real importance is not merely that
our team compiled such an out-
standing record but that they did
so at a time when the Student
Body needed the unifying spirit
that was so evident among the
team members. It seems to us
that Hardin-Simmons University
has seldom seen a team which has
contributed more to school spirit
at such an important time. Yet
no mention was made in chapel
where everything else is men-
mentioned from A to Z. We be-
lieve amends should be made by
those directly concerned with this
grave error.
Sincerely yours
Harry Bradley

It's Been Said Before
By DAVID MURRAH
Columnist
It's that time of the year when
congratulations seem to be in or-
der. This column has been saving
its congratulatory awards for
quite some time now and it seems
only fitting to bestow these
awards in this the last issue of
this esteemed publication before
Easter.
First of all we extend our con-
gratulations to the basketball
team winner of our BBTITSH
Award (Best Basketball Team In
The School's History). Certainly
we are all proud of Coach Lou
Hanson and Company. Not only
did the accomplishments of the
cage team help to soothe the blow
of losing football they seemed to
prove that prestige in football is
not everything but can be had in
another field at a fraction of the
cost.
Self Study
(Continued from Page 1)
ite reports each general commit-
tee makes its own report and rec-
ommendation for a particular
facet of the University. These
reports are edited and compiled
into a final report which is sub-
mited to SACS.
This final report is the basis
for a SACS visiting team which
wil be on the H-SU campus Nov.

University has perceived and re
ported its program.

NCATE accreditation.

University has completed all
hearings and is considering com-
mittee reports which will consti-
tute the final report. Approxi-
mately 80 faculty members are
still engaged in intensive study
spending as much as 20 hours a
week in study.
With faculty members devot-
ing extensive time to the self-
study teaching preparation and

suffer adversely but in the long

in the effectiveness of all areas
of the University especially
