School’s out. The sun’s up. It’s time to travel. This adds up to a potentially hectic pace on Texas highways. This holiday weekend—while you’re driving —remember it’s a great Texas custom to DRIVE FRIENDLY. That means paying attention. Rest when you’re tired. Eliminate distractions. Concentrate on your driving. DRIVE FRIENDLY, and we’ll see you Tuesday.

For years, I have heard that Tea University takes advantage of the other schools in the Southwes Athletic Conference.

Wash information in this column will cover track because of first hand,no! heresay, evidence. The problem begins with the 880-yard run finals Saturday Going into the final turn of the event, Rudolf Griffith, Texas; Hoiacil Grant, A&M; Willie Blackmon, A&M; John Craig, Texas; and Mifa Tibbits, Texas, were the front runners. Tibbits tripped and a foul was called by an official. , When the final results were compiled. Grant had been disqualified for pushing Tibbits and had lost his second place finish. What had happened is that Tibbits’ teammate, Craig, had shoved him. Grantsaid after the disqualification that, “I went outside (to pass) and Tibbio elbowed me. Then Craig pushed Tibbits. I did not foul.” Blackmon said, “I was running right behind them and Horace did not foul. One Texas boy pushed the other.” Clyde Hart, Baylor trad coach who had nothing to gain or lose by his statement, said he though! Craig pushed Tibbits. Tibbits, the Texas runner who fell down, also had something tosaj about it all. “When I was coming off the turn, I felt him (Grant) coraint I around me and moved out to hold him off. (Remember the elbowing I S reported by Grant earlier?). I might have bumped him. I can’t really sa) Lnent posi he did it (pushed), all I know is I tripped and at that point of theracel L unc h 0 pei just couldn’t tell.” The problem comes in as to who makes the decisions on tht disqualifications. As there is at all major meets, a game committee is set up to discuss and rule on any disqualification or problem that arises. Well, that body was never asked to meet in any of the controversies. Cliff Speegle, executive director of the conference office, made all the decisions without the help or advice of any game committee member In fact Speegle would not let the game committee even look at the 100-yard dash finish picture to rule on the winner. So everyone would make sure who was the boss, Speegle screamed it at all the coaches involved. He said he was in charge and he’d make the ruling and no one would look at the film but himself. “I make I the decisions,” he said. Speegle, a University of Texas graduate as is all three members of that office, also disqualified Baylor’s Pete Morales in the three-mile event when another Texas runner fell. A&M coach Charley Thomas said there has not been any disqualifications of this type in any meet his Aggies have been entered in this season. “When a bunch of people are that tightly bunched in a race, it is very easy for a person to fall,” he said. “That’s just the way things are when you compete, it’s just got to be accepted.” Speegle is also in charge of making a list of officials for all the conference basketball, football and baseball games. He was the individual who replaced the officials for the A&M-SMU basketball game which finished in a brawl. He changed the officials at 10 a.m. the day of the game without even notifying coach Shelby Metcalf. Metcalf said later that he had previously told the conference office that he did not want the official to call any other A&M contest. Maybe the conference office should take a good long look at itself, get rid of all the orange furniture and start being a representative unit remembering that it gets its funds from all the member schools; not just Texas. THE PAR CANTERBURY ASSOCIATION Each Tuesday, 5:30 p. m.—Holy Eucharist and Supper Thursdays, 6:30 a. m.—Holy Eucharist and Breakfast EPISCOPAL STUDENT CENTER 904 - 906 Jersey Street (Southern Boundary of Campus) 846-1726 Father James T. Moore Chaplain Kent Ellis, Evangelist “Unavoidable Realities” This is the conclusion of a study we began in our last article, regarding some unavoidable realities. We cannot change either the certainty or uncertainty of death. Death is certain, in that “it is appointed unto men once to die,” “for ... in Adam all die” (Heb. 9-27; I Cor. 15:22). It is uncertain because “ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life ? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away” (James 4:14). The fact of death is certain. The time of it is uncertain. The only way to die right is to live right. No one will be able to avoid the resurrection. It would be better for some if the grave were the end, but it is not. “'All that are in the graves shall hear his voice, and shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation” (John 5:28, 29). As we live, so shall we die. As we die, so shall we be raised. The judgment will be something no one will escape. When the universal court of justice is called to order every son of Adam and daughter of Eve will be present. “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad” (II Cor. 5:10). The pronouncements of that day will be eternal and irreversible for weal or for woe. These are some things we cannot change, avoid or escape. It is irrational to ignore reality. Knowing the certainty of what the future holds, it is the part of wisdom to use the present in preparation for it.
