Circle K
Parking cars and serving as hostesses is what will keep Circle K members busy tonight as they help with the Emerald Ball, an annual fund raising event for the Texarkana Mental Health Association.
Randy Pinkerton, club president, said that the male members will park cars while eight of the club coeds will help as hostesses. Circle K is invited each year to help with these chores.
Dr. Robertson said that the 1975 Circle K Calendar is nearing completion and that he expects them to be on sale shortly. The calendars, which may be purchased from any Circle K members, will be $1 each.
Plans are also continuing for the dance-a-thon the club will hold in January to help raise money for the Multiple Sclerosis campaign.
Class Tours
In co-ordination with studies on children, several psychology and sociology classes toured the Children’s Colony in Arkadelphia, Ark., Tuesday.
The Children’s Colony is a special living unit made up of children with severe learning disabilities and impairments. Also living at the colony are teachers, psychologists, therapists and physicians.
The TC students were to observe the children’s living quarters, the arrangement of older and younger children together, dining halls, playgrounds, and learning activities, and to familiarize themselves with the needs of the children.
Blue Jackets
Blue Jackets will be on hand tonight to serve as hostesses for the final performance of the musical, “The Mikado,” being presented as a joint effort of the TC music and drama departments.
The all-closed organization helps throughout the semester at several different campus activities. At their last meeting, a discussion of a membership drive during registration was held.
Christmas
Several stage band and vocal ensemble members will perform during Christmas festivities at the State First National Bank Dec. 10, 13, 18 and 20. Activities are also being planned for next semester by both groups.
Tom Seay, stage band director, is trying to build up the group to 30 or 40 members. “We mainly need trumpets, trombones, and saxophones,” he said. “We’d like to have two different groups: one to play standard band music and another to play popular music.”
Seay also said he’d like to get a class of small instrumental ensembles to play standard chamber music.
Members of stage band are under a work-study program and receive $50 a semester. Vocal ensemble members are under a work-
TC Players
TC Players are attempting to gather all the materials they had used in the recent Flea Market and determine how much money the club raised through the sale of ham and cheese sandwich plates.
Club President Tere Myers said that most of the group’s members have been too busy working with the musical “The Mikado” and other drama department productions that they have not had an opportunity to be very active in the club. She said that when the productions are over, the group will get together and plan future activities.
Rodeo Club
Over $1,100 was raised by the Rodeo Club at their big dance held Nov. 30 at the ICWU convention center. The dance, which lasted from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m., was the first major activity of the club this semester.
Sonny Lyle and the Downbeats provided the music for the dance, according to Keith Pullen, Rodeo Club president.
Toys for Tots
TC’s Student Senate is sponsoring a Toys for Tots campaign which ends tomorrow night. Under the Christmas tree upstairs in the Student Center is the box for student and faculty donations.
The Marine Corps Reserve asks that the toys be new toys of any size, shape and price range.
Senate President Wanda Harl suggests bringing the toy to the Snowball tomorrow night and placing them under the tree.
Chess Club
Plans to invite several area high schools and colleges to participate in an upcoming tournament sponsored by the TC Chess Club were discussed Tuesday at the regular monthly meeting of the group.
Mike Terrell, vice president of the club, suggested that the group employ a rating system whereby each member will start off with the same amount of points, and losses and gains will be figured in according to the players’ won-loss record.
The conference room in Palmer Memorial Library will be the scene of the next meeting of Chess Club, scheduled for Dec. 10. Dave Bunness, president, said that chess games are held every Thursday afternoon in the library, and that matches will be scheduled for whenever it is most convenient for the players.
