Editorial
Rose followed life's pattern
BYMARVKNOX
Bread Editor
Rose is no longer with us. The last time I saw her was in the spring but even then she
was only a skeleton of her former self. The period of the year when most life begins and
faltering life is rejuvenated was just too much for her this time and old Rose bit the
dust
Of course I'm talking about the Rose all of us at H-SU knew Rose Field House. This
summer workers finished tearing down the old gymnasium to make way for a new
ultra-modern facility. An ancient landmark on the H-SU campus was removed so that
progress could be made to allow future generations of students the best training
possible.
While those who had attended athletic contests in Rose Field House felt a bit of
nostalgic sadness as it was torn down every one in the entire H-SU family was
genuinely excited about plans for the new athletic complex. The old had gone its way
and the new was on the horizon.
The story of Rose surprisingly follows the patterns of life. For years she served her '
purpose and served it well but when her time came she had to get out of the way of
progress. Human nature is a lot like that in that we often have to change ourselves in
order to improve. Our thought patterns are altered and the way we interact with others
changes but as long as we listen to the voice of experience we become better people.
This school year promises to be a time of change for all of us. Many of our ideas about
life and ways of handling life will be vastly altered in the months to come. Hopefully
we'll destroy the bad strengthen the weak and upgrade the good.
A letter to readers
'Brand' situation stated
Monday Sept. 26
United Way deadline
To our readers:
When school ended last May the
BRAND staff looked forward to this fall
with eager optimism. We felt we had
improved the quality of the paper quite a
bit in the past year and we were planning
to continue that improvement publishing
an eight-page paper each week and ex-
panding our coverage even deeper into
student and campus life. We also thought
H-SU would have a new public in-
formation director by this time. Since
much of our on-campus news comes from
the office of public information (OPI ) and
since that office is still without a director
our plans have been somewhat altered.
As much as we like the format of an
eight-page paper the BRAND staff does
not have the manpower to produce such a
publication each week without OPI help.
We are striving however to publish the
best four-page weekly paper possible. You
can help us by giving us advanced notice
of news-making events on campus. Our

the H-SU English department. Both Dr.
Ray and Dr. Huff are coordinating the
campus United Way effort. Contributions
and pledges may also be turned in at the
business office.
This year's goal for H-SU has been set at
$4250. For the city of Abilene a goal of
1585000 has been set. According to Dr.
Ray pledges and payroll deductions will
not become effective until January of next
year.
Speaking of the United Way program
Dr. Ray said "This is a way to demon-

people around us. We have had very good

Maintenance Nautilus
topics for Congress
Concern over maintenance of married
student housing and students' use of the
University's new Nautilus equipment
highlighted the regular meeting of
Student Congress Tuesday evening in
Dining Room A of Moody Center.
Congress members at the
organization's first regularly-scheduled
meeting of the year gave reports from
several married students who live in H-SU-owned
housing. These reports cited
incidents in which routine repairs were
long over-due resulting in excess damage
to the houses and furniture. While not was
made relating to the problems the
Maintenance Department has in keeping
all University buildings in good repair
steps were taken to draft a resolution in
favor of making married student housing
a higher priority in maintenance work.
Congress members are currently
researching the limitations placed on
"students concerning the use of the
University's Nautilus equipment. It is
hoped that information concerning this
matter will be forthcoming at upcoming
Congress meetings.

Congress members have all been
provided with cards to be placed on their
dorm rooms so that students may be able
to find a representative in Congress when
a complaint or recommendation needs to
be made. This identification system was
also done to make Congress members
more accessible to students.
In final action members voted to hold
regular meetings each Wednesday at 6
p.m. in Moody Center room 207. These
meetings are open to all students and
students are urged to make their feelings
concerning school issues known to
Congress members.
Labor Day
traffic toll
may hit 44
AUSTIN Drivers seem .to be
displaying more cooperation and alert-
ness on Texas highways during major
holidays. At least that's the opinion of the
director of the Texas Department of
Public Safety who says the 1977 Labor
Day period could be safer than the same
weekend in 1976.
Even so Colonel Wilson . E. Speir
warned that Texas traffic collisions from
6 this evening to midnight Monday may
claim 44 lives.
Speir said that so far this year traffic
deaths are running five to six per cent
higher than during the same period in
1976. He noted that during recent years
"We have experienced considerable in-
creases in the number of vehicles the
number of licensed drivers as well as the
number of miles driven."
"However" he added "holiday drivers
seem to be exercising more restraint and
we hope this trend will continue."
copy deadline is noon Tuesday and this
deadline will be strictly enforced ariy
information received past this time will
not be considered for the coming edition of
the BRAND.
We want to report all that is news at H-
SU. As you keep us informed about news-
making events we can inform the student
body as a whole. We will appreciate your
patience in the next few hectic weeks and
we will appreciate your cooperation the
entire year.
Sincerely yours
The BRAND Staff
