Twirp Week Success?
i
The annual Hardin-Simmons gadio Hawkins Hace was a
wild success. One of the highlights of Tvfirp WeekjjJHt is the
time of year when girls admit thatfthey chase boys.
The FOUR couples who participated in the race and mock
wedding all agree that it was one of the best times they have
had all year.
"Everyone needs to let his hair down sometimes and just
have fun" admitted one of the junior participants. Dressed
in the 'Lil Abner and Daisy Mae style and acting like "hicks
irom the sticks" the eight gay people invaded the SUB where
they make sport of the "city slickers in their Sunday-go-to-meeting"
clothes.
No one can convince these eight people that they were
being foolish immature. They enjoyed themselves and par-
ticipatd in one of the most successful activities of the school.
For years to come they will remember the wedding ceremony
where before the "conjugated" crowd they were "disunited
in common law marriage."
The foolish and immature are those who were absent.
Hardin-Simmons Student Senate sponsored the race for the
students. How many of the senators were there? How many
of those elected by the Senate to 'create interest" in Twirp
Week were there? One. Pat Bonds alone appeared to con-
duct the race and ceremonies well-dressed in his light fall
suit not his Sunday-go-to-meeting clothes by any means.
Where is the enthusiasm and spirit that should accompany
college activities? College comes but once and like your now
faint high school years is gone. The fun you have today
makes the memories of tomorrow.
Are Hardin-Simmons University students so dignified
that they must remain spectators to remain self-confident?
If so beware statistics prove that the most common cause of
death among college students is suicide. This results from
built up frustrations and tension. One of the best tension re-
lievers is a laugh. Those eight people are still laugliing.

Surprised
We feel like the KHSU disco jockey who tried to give
away a record and only one listener called in at least we
know that someone is reading the paper.
Of course we are referring to the letters to the editor
on this page. It took eight issues and an editorial to do it
but we finally got some letters. If you have something to say
don't just talk over a cup of coffee put it in print.
Look Our Best
Like an Army inspection next week is inspection for
Hardin-Simmons University. The entire faculty administra-
tion have spent long hours of preparation next week's visit
from the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary
Schools.
We must be at our best.

Captain Mqrp.chef appreciates
American Democratic Way of Life

By DEE MOITELLfen
Routed from his native country
of Romania by the Russian Com-
munists during World War II
and later transplanted from Ba-
varia to the United States Hardin-Simmons
University's newest
and youngest Army captain Alb-
ert G. Marocher. feels that he has
'great reason to appreciate Amer
ica's democratic way ox life.
"Having lived under Hitler and
fled from the Communists makes
me appreciate the American way
of life more probably than most
Americans do" said Capt. Maro-
cher who has recently joined the
H-SU military staff as assistant
professor of military science. He
continued "I am very patriotic
and have chosen to make the
Army my career because I feel
that it is the best way to serve
my country and because I per-
sonally enjoy the military life."
Born in Romania the son of a
well-to-do farmer and wine
maker Capt. Marocher and his
family were forced to leave their
home and property when the
Russians were advancing toward
Germany in 1944. The parents
and four children first went to
Austria and then to Germany.
Capt. Marocher was 10 years of
tage when he saw the end of the r
war in May of 1945.
In 1949 the Marocher family
moved to Columbiis Ohio to start
a new way of life. Capt. Mar-
ocher attended High School in1
Columbus and later attended
Ohio State University where he"
graduated in 1959. He wad a Dis-
tinguished Military Graduate in
the ROTC. Jj Immediately upon
graduation he entered the Reg-
letters to the Editor
November 9 1964
Dear Editor:
I wish to thank you for express-
ing an interest in Saga Food Serv-
ice and to express my apprecia-
tion for the well-written articles
in the Brand concerning the cafe-
teria service.
There is a Food Committee
which has been organized for the
improving the food service
through complaints and sugges-
tions. This committee is' com-
prised of two representatives from
each floor of each dormitory and
the dormitory directors.
I would like to invite you to
come to the next meeting which
will be on Monday November 23
room 207 A Student Center.
Through the democratic processes
we hope our problems can be cor-
rected. Sincerely yours
Claude Hicks
Student Center
Director.

Dear Editor:
Thank you for your well-chosen
comments on service in the cafe-
teria. The dirty table cold grub
situation is obnoxious to the
"paying customers."
However is the laxadaisical
service of a group of underpaid
students working there any less
commendable than the gross
waste made by those same com-
plaining customers who pay
something like 50 cents per meal?
Not intending to sound like a
preacher of the trite cry "Just
think of the poor starving chil-
dren across the sea" I would like
to say that so much garbage left
in the cans each day is not a
necessity.
Just because we are allowed to
eat what we want and as much
should we be allowed to throw
jello at the next table let three
bowls of ice cream per table melt
or eat two bites out of ten dif-
ferent dishes and let the rest dry
up on the dirty plates? (Would
any bus boy relish cleaning up
such atrocities?)
Seems like the school cafeteria
could copy one of Abilene's bet-
ter known cafeterias which serves
on an all-you-can-eat basis put-
ting out signs which read "We
have the right to charge extra
for food left on plates." It might
hurt the student pocket books and
feelings but Saga Foods and
H-SU would gain much. (They
might even bo able to hire more
andor better bus boys!)
Sincerely
Dee Mosteller
Speaking
o Politics
By TOMMY MILLER
The world's first supersonic
transport airliner is now being
built jointly by the English and
French aircraft industries the
October Reader's Digest notes.
When it is completed about 1972
it will travel at up to three times
the present speed of jets. The
United States has also announced
its intention to build a super-
sonic airliner and both Lockheed
and Boeing are designing plans
for such a craft. .
We're faced with an embarrass-
ing situation this week.
Here we are supposed to speak
about politics and the Student
Senate didn't even have a meet-
ing last Monday night.
We may never forgive them for
this trick. This nosey reporter
hurried up to the Senate room
last Monday and found it dark
and empty. The reporter's first
thought was "they didn't like
last week's column and are hav-
ing secret meetings now."
Held Meeting
But then an innocent senator
came in. Senator Terry Dubose
and this reporter held their own
meeting. The first thing we did
was to call for a motion that the
meeting be adjourned. Senator
DuBose made the motion and
since he was the only member
present he also seconded the mo-
tion. The motion carried (we
must use parliamentary pro-
cedure). After the meeting was adjourn-
ed the tables were turned. In
our column it's usually the sena
tors who are faced with prob-
lems. Now the reporter was
faced with a problem to write a
report of the Senate meeting
when the Senate didn't have a
meeting.
So we came back up to the
Brand office to work out our
problem. Here we were ponder-
ing over the typewriter for words
and there was nothing else to do
except look out the window.
Enjoyed Meeting
The window of the Brand office
is directly across from the ter-
race of the Student Center. There
was a couple on the terrace Mon-
day night and you know we en-
joyed that meeting on the terrace
much more than a Senate
meeting.
Now you're asking "who were
the boy and girl on the terrace?"
That we don't know. The boy
had dark hair and was more
overweight than underweight but
we couldn't make out who he was.
So the Student Senate didn't
have a meeting. According to
President Bonds there was noth-
ing on the aeenda. But there is
one thing for sure we never
miss a senate meeting.
ular Army and was sent to Ft.
Benning Ga. for the Basic Of-
ficers Course Ranger Training
and Air Borne School.
His next assignment was in
Germany where he served as
Rifle Platoon Leader in Heil-
bronn andpublic information of-
ficer and assistant intelligence of-
ficer in Ulm. He later became
Motar Platoon Leader with the
51st Infantry of the Fourth Army
and commanded a rifle company
in Ulm. He spent three and one-
half years in the country. He
said that he was glad to be an
American soldier while serving in
the country of his ancestors.
Last .year Capt. Marocher re-
turned ito Ft. Benning for a nine
months Career Course. In June
of 1963 he received promotion to
the rank of captain after four
years of military service. During
his European tour ho was award-
ed the Army Commendation
Medal for meritorious service
rendered to his unit and the Army
as a whole.
While in Europe Capt. Mar-
ocher and his wife Betty travel-
ed in Germany Switzerland Aus-
tria Holland France Belgium
and Italy.
He has begun work on a mas-
ter of arts degree in history at
H-SU and Mrs. Marocher is a
sophomore at the university in
the field of elementary education.
The couple lives at 1518 Glen-haven.
