A necessary gift
Perhaps the hope for a library is not as
distant as some nave indicated. With the
work of the Library Planning Committee
we can assume that the project is under
serious consideration.
Of course it is not the kind of project
which easily lends itself to promotion. It
is much more dramatic to solicit funds for
a building which will serve a particular
group or will attract the attention of a par-
ticular group of donors.
One of the major problems in demonstrat-
ing the need for" a new library is the lack
of use of ithe present facilities. When a pros-
pective donor visits the library in Sandef er
Hall sees the thousands of volumes in stock
ithen notices the empty chairs it is extreme-
ly difficult to explain the need.
A far-seeing donor will realize there are
too many volumes for the space there is
too little space and too poor lighting for
effective study and the crowded conditions
encourage students to find their books (an
often tedious process) and get out of the
way.
There is no facility on any campus more
important to a liberal arts education than
a comfortable .spacious well-stocked libr-
ary. It is in this atmosphere a student will
research his classwork find his recreation-
al reading and expand his knowledge in
fields not fully covered in textbooks.
Giving to a library is not a glamorous
donation; it is merely a necessary gift. The
sort of gift that profits no particular group
but the present student body as a whole
and all of the student bodies yet to come.
It is the sort of gift that does not add the
glitter and tinsel to an already decorated
tree but rather provides the roots a found-
ation of higher education.
Welcome back
The BRAND would like to welcome the exes to the cam-
pus this weekend. We realize it is the efforts of the alumni
which keep this institution functioning.
It is particularly a time for recognizing the ex-lettermen
and coaches who through the years have contributed to
the world-fame of the forty acres.
A university must guide individuals through all phases
of life and prepare those individuals for the 'challenges of
the future. We welcome you back to the institution which
helped to build you into the responsible citizens you are
today.
May Hardin-Simmons University continue through the
years to provide for this and coming generations as it has
provided for you.

By ELLEN HAGLER
Brand Staff Writer
EDITOR'S NOTE: This is
the last in a series of articles
on- the Singers Ho! tour.
The Singers-Ho! concluded their
trip and returned to the Hardin-
Simmons campus on February 10.
Feb. 2 The Singers-Ho! boarded
the plane for Argencia at 7 a.m.
This was a special flight just for
them. They arrived at 10:30 a.m.
and did a show at 7 p.m. that
night.
Feb. 3 They left the same night
for Keflavik Iceland Susie Rob-
erts and Robin Looney left their
clothes bag in Argencia. The girls
had to do the rest of their shows
in their purple outfits. Before
they left for their next post Tim
Seelig said. "Everyone check we
don't want to leave anymore bags
behind."
Feb. 4 They went to Reykavjjk
the capital of Iceland today. At
Loftlieder Airport the national
airline there were 175 American
students on their way to Den-
mark. There was a buffet for
everyone. They had 14 kind of
Jwwriwf pkis other fish and
jnMta. Alto ehwMe and fruit and
km- yn on 'Jfa jkmmu Skyr is
a Joi Hkf yogart. They did a show
that night and then ate supper at
the Officers Club.
Feb. 5 They went to the H2
sight on a C47. They went back to
Keflavik and that night did a
show at Grindavik. At this place
there was a man named Lurch.
When J. G. Martin was introduc-
ing the members of the group he
introduced Lurch (David John-
son) and there was a big round
of applause.
Feb. 6 -Their plans were to go
to the H3 sight but the winds
were too strong so they did a show
at Rockville which was closer.
Feb. 7 Their bus driver was
Claude Armstrong. They ate din-
ner at his house that night. Today
was also Lurch's birthday. They
had a party and ate cake and
listened to records. Marget won
the prize for falling the most in
the snow. As she said "I was the
snow clown."
Feb. 8 Today was Sunday. They
went to church and this-was the
first time they didn't sing preach
or play the piano.. At 4 p.m. they
did a show at the Polar Club.

Reykavik. They bought rugs

Their last show was today. They
had a vary food reception.
Feb. 10 They left at 8 a.m. and
had a stop over in Argencia. Then
they went to McGuire then- to
Dallas and on to Abilene. As they
were in Dallas the excitement
mounted. As they neared Abilene
they were looking out the win-
dows to see if they could see
anyone. They landed and had a
great reception awaiting. They
were glad to get back but had
many wonderful experiences.
Before each performance they
got in a circle and had a moment
of silence. Someone then led in
prayer. As some said "The prayers
in the group and the prayers of
the people back home carried us
through the whole tour."

Yelling for blood
t ' ' '
Monday night I found myself
a spectator at the third annual
Golden Gloves finals held at Tay-
lor County Coliseum. Six of our
Hardin - Simmons guys had made
it to this final night. Five of
these Derrell Munday Happy
Fourton Doug Alexander Chad
Winsor and Bob Sarpolius were
in the H-SU novice team. Ed
Fourton was a finalist in the open
division.- Witnessing a fight is a
far cry from the Sunday night TV
specials we see when we're kids.
There we were surrounded by a
crowd of gladiator - spectators
tensly excited and openly yelling
for blood. It as a strange feeling
to watch our H-SU guys crawl
into that hotly lit ring flexing
muscles taking deep breaths arid
sizing up their opponents.
Ed Fourton was the H-SU
champion of the evening. He won
his match with a knock-out in
the first round. The next day Ed
had a lot of comments to make
about his fight and a about box-
ing in general.
"Jim Williams this guy I
fought was shorter than I was
and not as quick. I started out
fighting poorly bobbing around
and following him. When you're
boxing you always keep an eye
on your manager so when I saw
that mine didn't like the way
things were going I started jabb-
ing. I don't think Jim really hit
me even price. I caught him with
a left right and he went down.
When he pulled himself up I got
him with an overhand right and
knocked him out I went to my
neutral corner and of course a
few seconds later I knew I had
won.
I asked if it bothered Ed to
knock people out "No it doesn't
bother me. You're out there to
beat your opponent. Sometimes
a guy's better off if he gets knock-
ed out. I knew this one guy who
got knocked out and it didn't
bother him. He came back later
and got beat to a pulp. It was
that long bad fight that soured
him on! boxing not the knock out.
Some guys back their opponents
into the ropes then back off. That's
fine if these guys want to be nice
but you are out there to win. Ed
finished by commenting on the
H-SU novices. All our guys have
great potential they're aggressive
and that's what it takes. None of
us dislike contact.
