Wilburton, Oklahoma
A New Store For Eastern Students
Feb. 17 was the date of another first on Eastern campus--
the President’s Dinner. This meeting, which is expected to
be at least once each semester, was attended by the presidents
of all campus organizations and residence halls, plus the
Student Senate executive officers.
Purpose of the President’s Dinner is to provide student
leaders an opportunity to meet with President Baker as a
group and to be briefed on future plans of the institution.
This event again points to the fact that the administration
has a keen interest in the student body and is not reluctant
to make it known.
At the first such meeting, President Baker told of immediate
and long-range building improvements for the campus and
answered questions from the student presidents.
It is felt that this periodic meeting will keep student leaders
informed and also create interest on the part of our student
organizations.
Our large tax bill helps to support
schools.

Since Betty Baker, sports
writer of the Mountaineer was
featured in the sports column
of the McAlester News-Capi-
tal last week, she has been so
confident that she even got in
an argument with "Snarf” —
only to lose. Rumor has it
that she will roll a peanut
down the hall, by nose, no
less.

Headline writers toyed with
the idea of running the headline
on the story about Richard
Boggs, president of the Young
Democrats, being selected by
the Governor’s Opportunity
Program: "GOP Drafts Head
of Young Democrats."
Carolyn Smith, Heavener sophomore and Richard Boggs.
Wilburton sophomore, were among the 151 young men and
women from 15 state colleges and universities selected to
participate in the newly inaugurated Governor’s Oklahoma
Opportunity Program. The winners include 68 women and 83
men who are all sophomores and juniors.
Winners will begin their training program in March which
will include three weekend visits to various areas of the state.
Work has already begun on placing winners in summer jobs
with companies and agencies throughout the state. The stu-
dents will take jobs in their individual interest areas that will
illustrate career opportunities available to outstanding young
people in Oklahoma.
The 25-member judging panel was composed of representa-
tives from business and industry, Soonor Guides, Chamber of
Commerce, educational institutions and members of the
Covernor’s Committee on the Status of Women, who are
co sponsors of the Opportunity Program. The 151 selections
w. c made from a total of 250 who were interviewed for the
r gram.

Eastern could well follow
the practice of an Oklahoma
City high school which set
aside an area—known appro-
priately as the "cancer pit”
—outside the building where
its pupils are allowed to puff
cigarettes. But would the
drill field be large enough?

Donna Martin would be Mrs.
David Walls by now. This
must undoubtedly be one of
the more attractive fringe
benefits attached to gradua-
tion—and it’s not even men-
tioned in the Student Handbook.
