Besides being effec- tive in getting a one-day extension on the Thanksgiving holidays, the sena- tors proposed a new sidewalk for John- son Hall and a major change for LCC's Lyceum program.

Hard Travelers Entertain Students The Hard Travelers, a group of three LCC students. entertained young peo- ple from all over the U.S. at various youth rallies, banquets, and high school assemblies. They began the year by entertaining the LCC student body at a mixer the first week of school. Soon afterwards, the musicians performed at the annual South Plains Fair. This singing group, under the direc- tion of the LCC Admissions Office, traveled over 30,000 miles in the spring. Their purpose was not only to entertain their audience, but also to recruit interested high school students to come to LCC. Singing a variety of hits from Rock to Country-Western, the Hard Travel- ers also included a special rendition of the fifties and sixties in their act. Members of the group included Robert Spurlin from Roswell, New Mexico: Bob Stevens from Memphis, Tennes- see, and Ken Young from Devine, Texas. Performing at the South Plains Fair, Robert, Ken, and Bob present their version of an o1die, but goodie. 7 FT Decked out in their coordinated denim ward- Stevens, and Robert Spurlin attempt to practice robes, Hard Travelers members Ken Young, Bob around an LCC pool table. 22 - PLOT

Club Helps Returning Students Coming back to school after an absence of several years requires a wholesale reorganization that can be bewildering and frustrating. In the fall of 1975, the Mature Matriculators service club began to help returning college students adjust to the shock of the college environment. These inter- ested adults shared available helpful hints about scholarships and programs as well as mutual encouragement throughout the school season. Informal luncheons on campus each Wednesday brought guest speakers once a month. A banquet in the late spring high- lighted the year for the Mature Matri- culators. I Leading the organization to help themselves as well as others get back into the swing of college life were officers Darleen Davidson, president: Carolyn Stephenson, vice-president: Marlene Lauterdale, secretary-trea- surerg and Winona Roberts, historian.
