SERVICE DEPARTMENTS KEEP Without the skilled efforts of people who never enter the class¬ room, the wheels of education at Sul Ross would grind to a stop. Stu¬ dents must be fed and housed, they must be doctored when they are sick, the plant must be kept clean and in operation, and the bookstore and library must furnish them with needed resources. Without this essential part of the college, students’ years at Sul Ross would be much less pleas¬ ant Tom Connor Director of Student Union Bill Lane, Bill Cowell, and Frank Valenzuela Robert Larson Director of Hancock Hall and Cafeteria Cashier Martin Olson Cafeteria Manager

REGISTRATION First impressions are important; the ideas one person gains about another, even if mis¬ taken, are hard to dispel. The first few weeks at Sul Ross are decisive in determining how well a student will later get to know and like the school. Sully tries to be its best during those first weeks—enthusiastic, exciting, bubbling with school spirit, and full of optimism. For the incoming freshman, there are new faces, new places, and new traditions to learn. Red beanies” must be worn, SR Mountain must be scaled, and homecoming royalty must be elected. There’s a sense of newness for the old-timers too—as, unconsciously they are included in the new-comer’s first glimpse of the Sul Ross per¬ sonality.” The importance of those first crucial weeks cannot be measured; it can only be detected by inquiring of a new student his first impres¬ sions of his new acquaintance, Sul Ross State College.
