Hurrah for the Slimes
Chalk up one for the freshman. The lowly slimes are the
mythical recipients of a Brand goal medal for the week.
The reason that we are blowing the bugle for the new-
comers on the campus is because of their unbelievable turn-
out in running for class offices. It's so unbelievable that if
everyone votes for himself the election may end in a tie.
We admit that the class officer turnout is not quite that
good but the total number running for office is far above
normal for a Hardin-Simmons election.
As of Tuesday and they still had Wednesday morning to
run for office there were a total of 67 freshmen running for
a class office. This total also includes cheerleader hopefuls.
Last year's freshman class had a total of 50 running for class
office; however candidates were "stacked" in a few of the
offices leaving three or four candidates in several positions.
No single office will have less than four candidates in the
coming freshman election. Eight are running for president
four for vice-president five for secretary five for treasurer
four for reporter four for social chairman 25 for cheerleader
(six will be elected) and 12 for senator (four will be elected).
We commend you freshmen for your interest in the uni-
versity and your class but we also challenge you to follow up
your interest by showing up at the polls. This has been a
stigma in past elections we have elections but often have
trouble finding people to vote in these elections. Approxi-
mately 44 per cent of last year's freshman class voted in their
officer election. Believe it or not this was considered an ex-
tremely high percentage. With the enthusiasm that has
already been shown we expect the freshman class to go
above the 50 per cent mark for voter's in the election.
Speaking of elections there is another election that will
be coming up in the near future. This election will be an all-
school election and we hope the entire student body will
show as much enthusiasm as the freshmen. People will not
be elected for offices but the entire student body must vote
on the proposal that the House of Representatives has pre-
sented to the Student Senate (see related story on page one).
The proposal must now pass the General Affairs committee
and then requires a three-fifths vote of the student body.
The proposal concerns some changes that are to be made
in the constitution of the House of Representatives. The
major items are the representation in the House and the ap-
pointment of the Senate vice-president as the Speaker of the
Hous.
Whn the proposal is presented to the student body we
hope that each student will take the time to study the pro-
posal and vote either for or against the change. How one
votes is not essentially important but it is important that
each student takes a genuine interest in his student
government.

BAR ROOM PIANO? No it's only ihe Aliom-Howard Hideaway. This South-of-the-Border style
room complete with piano is the pride of Prince Altom shown at the piano and Aubrey Howard.
The tinkling piano and the bright serapes will make a person think twice in the morning. (Brand

Speaking
By TOMMY MILLER
Brand Editor
111 1 1 1 t t 1 t 1 1 1 1 1 t
If you're looking for an enjoy-
able evening try the Student
Senate meetings.
There's not enough room for
everyone to come but at least
we can extend the invitation.
The editor made it to the first
formal meeting of the 1964-65
Student Senate meeting last
Monday night and what a
time we had. We came out of
the meeting with a new concept
of politics. We can't exactly de-
scribe the concept but it was
new! Johnson and Goldwater
should have some of our politic-
ians working for them.
President Pat Bonds presided
over the meeting. All the while
Bonds was fighting off the sug-
gestions of vice-president Jim
Towns. Bonds was interested in
the time and Towns was interest-
ed in the parliamentary proced-
ure. Also plaguing Bonds was
business manager "I have a
question" Tom Womble. Womble
either questioned everything that
was brought up or didn't under-
stand the question!
Seriously Speaking
Seriously though the Student
Senate needs all the help that
we the student body can give
them. They had a tremendous
responsibility. Each and every
member of the Student Senate is
a capable and responsible per-
son. But they cannot accomplish
their objectives without our help
and encouragement.
The Brand will make a weekly
attempt to inform the student
body about the activities of the
Student Senate. We realize that
everyone cannot attend the meet-
ings but through our eyes (and
typewriter) we'll try to give you
the "inside scoop" on the hap-
penings. At their first formal meeting
all the senate members were
present except senator-at-large
Joe Foster.
Orientation Report
We'll skip all the formalities
and began with the first com-
mittee report from senator Chuck
Perkins whp is in charge of the
freshman orientation. Perkins
asked for volunteers but really
appointed Foster (a dirty trick
to do to an absentee) and sena-
tor Cindy Ballew to work with
sophomore class president Tommy
Shelburne concerning the beanie
burn. The date and place for the
beanie burn has not been set.
Secretary Judy Roman reported
that an orientation regulations
test will be given to all fresh-
men on Oct. 7. The test will be
issued to the freshmen in chapel
and must be completed and turn-
ed in to the Student Center by 12
noon the same day. You can't
get out of this one freshmen.
They will have a list and will be
checking off the names. Inci-
dentally they didn't say what the
gunishment would be for not tak-
g the test.

The major business of the
evening was the change proposed
to the constitution of the House
of Representatives. The recom-
mendation was brought to the
floor by senator Gordon Lam. But
since the Brand has a related
story about the change in this
issue we will not spent time with
the details. However we might
say that this was the most ex-
citing part of the meeting.
What a discussion. Womble
changed his tune to "I disagree"
and Towns forgot all about parlia-
mentary procedure.
Senator John Willis reported
for Foster concerning a political
rally and party. The rally will
be held Nov. 2 and the party will
be held the following night Nov.
3 stated Willis.
No Babysitters
Another interesting report was
Womble's nursery report. Womble
had made an attempt to form a
student baby-sitting agency for
married students. Girl students
would have been the baby-sitters.
But the deal fell through. As
Womble said the married stu-
dents would just have to "aid
each other" and "work out their
own problems." And to top it off
Womble added "I know there are
several girls that don't have
dates but most girls just don't
want to give up their week-
ends!" Imagine that girls not
having dates.
Willis gave a short report about
the plans for homecoming. The
most important point concerned
theme which wil lbe "Around the
World at H-SU."
The varsity cheerleaders
brought a recommendation to the
Senate that Virginia Broyles be
named the head cheerleader. The
Senate approved the recom-
mendation. Another varsity cheerleader
will be elected in the near future.
Broyles a committee of three
senate members and two faculty
members will make plans for the
election.
We feel sure that the Senate
would appreciate all your sug-
gestions. You are also invited to
attend the meetings. They are
held each Monday at 6 p. m. in
the Senate Room in the Student
Center. After all Womble will
need some more questions for
Monday night and Towns will
need a few suggestions about
garliamentary procedure. As for
onds he just needs sympathy!
PR Pledging Begins Oct. 5
Pershing Rifle pledging will
begin October 5. Pledging acti-
vities will consist of four weeks
of morning drills.

'Siesta City9
Quite A Spot
Take an ordinary room in An-
derson Hall and add a touch of
Mexico and you have Siesta City.
At least that's what Prince Altom
and Aubrey Howard call their
Mexicanized room.
A casual visitor to room 119 -will
unusually be fascinated and
awed by what greets him on the
other side of the door. His first
view will be one of wide blue
felt strips draped across the ceil-
ing to form a canopy effect. The
canopy begins in the middle of
the room suspended over a brass
curtain rod.
As the visitor's mouth begins to
close he should notice a pair of
matched lars at the head of each
bed. Prince was quick to show
lamps as well as the indirect
lighting he had rigged at the foot
of each bed.
To add a spash of color to the
room Aubrey provided two ser-
apes to be used for the beds and
one for the floor. Bullfight
scenes painted on velvet set off
the walls.
Also included in the decor of 4
the room are bongos old bottles
covered with wax and various
glass bottles.
However the conversation
piece of the room is a 66 key
piano. "It doesn't go with the
other decorations because it was
made in Japan" Prince said.
When asked why he had the piano
in his room he replied "J couldn't
find time to practice in the School
of Music so this was the logical
answer." 'i
Prince said he may have to give
up the homeroom piano idea be-
cause it was a deterrent to his
studies.
Aubrey and1 Prince agreed that
they had spent about $50 on the
decorations with Prince spending
an additional $400 for the piano.
