Hailstorms
By MARSHA HAIL
One advantage Texas Western has over schools in the
east is that its students who have ambitions to become
great matadors can get practical experience here on the
border. Three of our fellow students are going through
this experience Friday, October 28, in the Juarez city
bullring. In the pachanga or amateur bullfight, Robert
Ruiz, a sophomore electrical

Anyone looking at the weekend amuse-
ment sections of the downtown newspapers
will find that a good percentage of the sto-
ries are about events sponsored by the Col-
lege or about Texas Western students and
faculty taking part in some cultural civic
project.
Currently the papers contain a number of
such stories. One recent story was about the
signing of Irina Borowska, Ballet Russe de
Monte Carlo ballerina, and Alan Howard,
premier danseur of the same company, by
the TW Civic Ballet as guest stars for the
production of "Gaite Parisienne.” The per-
formances on October 21 and 22 in Magoffin
Auditorium will open the second season of
the Texas Western Civic Ballet wihch was
formed last December.
Tnother TWC enterprise in the news is the
Texas Water Color Society’s Traveling Ex-
hibition and the permanent collection of the
TWC Art Department which are now on dis-
play in Cotton Memorial Galleries.
Publicity is being given to the Speech and
Drama Department's first performances of
the semester. "Look Homeward, Angel,"
scheduled for October 28 in. Magoffin Audi-
torium.
Music recitals sponsored throughout the
year by the Music Department are in the
news along with the International Film Clas-
sic Series which will be shown at TWC un-
der the joint sponsorship of the Student As-
sociation and the Jewish Community Cen-
ter.
Just these few examples make it evident
the College is a leading force in the cultural
life not only of El Paso but the Southwest
as well.
Building Boom
Sound of construction activity in the big
ditch south of the Student Union Building on
College Avenue keep Texas Western College
students reminded of the $1.5 million class-
room building which will be completed by
the fall of 1961.
The huge classroom building which will
straddle the arroyo will contain 40 class-
rooms and 60 faculty offices. The central sec-
tion of the building will have four stories.
One wing will have three stories and another
wing only one story.
This building is part of the biggest build-
ing boom in the College’s history. Almost $2.5
million worth of projects are scheduled for
completion by the end of next year. Work
on the $850,000 field house will probably be-
gin early next year with completion set for
the opening of the 1961-62 basketball sea-
son. The field house will contain 4,500 spec-
tator seats in the main gymnasium. In ad-
dition it will have an, auxiliary gymnasium,
handball courts, classrooms and office space.
The building site will be near the northeast
corner of Kidd Field stadium.
The other projects scheduled are a Schel-
lenger Laboratory building and TWC main-
tenance warehouse. If the voters approve in
the general election on November 8, a new
$1,750,000 stadium will also be built on the
TWC campus.
Because of the crowded conditions on the
campus, these new additions will be put to
good use. They show that Texas Western
is growing physically at least. Though mod-
ern, up-to-date buildings are no guarantee of
a first rate college, they certainly help.
Looking Backward
By ANNE LIEBERMAN
OCTOBER 20, 1945
Science Club officers for the coming year
were chosen this week. They are Milton Coo-
ley, president; Lewis Jauregui, vice-presi-
dent; Ezequiel Montes, secretary; and Jim-
mie Heid, treasurer.
Social notes around Benedict Hall: After
dinner each night, there is always a get-to-
gether around ye old piano in the “parlor.”
Among the homesteaders who scream their
lungs out while versatile Joyce Sullivan
plays the piano, are Baffy Frank, Billie Mc-
Kenzie, Peg Pouncey, and Elma Hoffman.
Then to make the song survey complete, we
can’t exclude Ted Hodges, ex-marine, and his
favorite ditties like “There’ll Be Smoke on
the Water,” “Little Green Valley,” and “Don’t
Sweetheart Me.”
OCTOBER 20, 1950
Thirty-two Texas Western students all
seniors were named to Who’s Who in Ameri-
can Colleges and Universities by an 18-man
faculty committee this week. Tabbed with

cia Center, Fannie Chow, Sanford Cox, Ray-
mond Davenport, Jesus Dominguez, Andy
Everest, Daniel W. Foster, Bill Fairley, Har-
vey Gabrel, Betty Lou Goodloe, Frances
Holmsley, Cleo Noel Howard, Charles Klein-
er, Geraldine Laird, Gloria Leon, David Mc-
Farland, Sue Jane Mayfield, Jane Piatt,
Hawley Richeson, Polly Saddler, John Si-
queiros, Jack Werle, Cordell McGraw, Neal
Richards, Oscar Albritton, Carlos Blanco,
John Gilewicz, Robert Lait, James T. Thom-
as, Albert Tilney, and Donald Winsor.
Miner of the Week is J. D. Partridge, who
won his title for his great defensive tackles
against the Arizona ball carriers last Sat-
urday night.
El Burro Mascot has been missed at re-
cent football games. Many of our students
have noticed that our mascot is not with us
this season. El Burro was privately owned,
and it is assumed that his owner left town.
Being very temperamental, he is a one-man
donkey and has a dynamic kick for anyone
else who tried to get around him.
The Wet Stope
By FRED JOHNSON
Once more one of our westside compadres
has bitten the dust. A gal with a big .50 cali-
ber brown eyes and dimples did away with
the big slob. We thought things like that on-
ly happened in the spring when the sap is
running wild. We are going to take up a col-
lection for a metal I
plaque with “Our boy
Jack, R.I. P.1960,” on
it to go in place of the
old green line.
Since the theme for
the homecoming par-
ade is to be school his-
tory, we were think-
ing that it might be a
good idea for someone
to build a float com- d
memorating Charlie
Steen’s famous
speech. There are
many things that
might be used as ideas
for a float. Someone
might try something
like honoring the last
class to graduate from
the College of Mines
or one honoring the
first class to graduate
from T.C.M.
We talked to Mitzi Hogg in front of Bell
Hall the other day and we learned that some
of the newer girls on campus think the west-
siders ought to trade in their mucker boots
and levi’s for oxford shirts and Italian style
pants. These new young ladies also seem to
object to “roll your owns” and chewing to-
bacco. Mitzi said that she would take these
sweet young things into hand and teach them
that such things as these are not all tradi-
tion, but financial necessity for some. She is
going to tell them that some of these silly
characters are actually here to get an edu-
cation and can’t afford to be peedoggie play-
boys. Mitzi asked us to pass the word on to
someone of importance that she hopes that
no one slops any more black paint around
the west side this year. It seems that it ruin-
ed her best pair of shoes and stockings last
year.
We’d make this column longer, but it is
starting to be like work and you know that
we do our darndest to avoid things like that.
engineering major who plans
to go into bullfighting profes-
sionally. will get his first op-
portunity to kill a bull. The
others. Bill Yerby and Caesar
Ramirez, have been asked by
their friend Ruiz to place ban-
derillas for him. They will al-
so be given the opportunity
to make a few passes with the
cape at the bull.
Ramirez has placed bande-
rillas before, but Yerby has
not. So far to prepare himself
for the 'big night, Yerby has
taken one lesson. But he plans
to have more lessons between
now and then.
Yerby admits he’s nervous
but says he’s going through
with it.
Since some TWC students
have such an interest in the
sport maybe the College should
offer a course in bullfighting.
The class could meet at school
once a week for lecture and
could have lab on TTS at a
Juarez bullring.
Whether or not cigarettes
cause lung cancer, they cause
some colleges a surprising
amount of expense. Princeton
University has recently barred
smoking by both student and
faculty in all classrooms in or-
der to cut down on houseclean-
ing bills. The president of the
university estimated the regu-
lation would save about $16,-
700 annually in cleaning and
floor refinishing costs.

The El Paso Chamber of
Commerce has set up welcome
signs just inside the city lim-
its on all highways leading in-
to the City. The signs were de-
signed by Prospector Business
Manager Henry Rettig. Actual-
ly, I should have written his
name Henri, because that’s the
way he signs his art work.

I see in the newspapers that
Echo I, man’s most visible
space satellite, is again com-
peting for attention with the
Moon and stars. It has been at
of sight for the last few weeks
because its orbit has been in
the earth’s shadow.
I’m not going out to look for
it, however. The last time I
did I also saw another light in
the sky that moved much faster
than Echo, had a yellowish
light and seemed to blink on
and off. No mention of the
