Editorials February 16, 1979 Across The Desk Eby Charles Greenawalt A special thanks to the school board for approving the extension of our parking lots. Next fall, the student parking area will extend from the pre- sent parking lot to the field house. This will help to eliminate some of our problems. I do appreciate your patience in these matters, especially your coopera- tion in not parking in restricted are- as. The reasons for these restrict- ions, especially in the bus loading zone and fire zone areas, are for your own safety. These areas need to be free of parking in case we have to get an emergency vehicle onto this campus. We have Contracted with a local tow- ing service and if your car is towed away it will cost you or the owner of the car a fee of $35.00 plus storage. We encourage you to cooperate, fail ure to do so could possibly result in limiting the number of cars that would be allowed on our campus. Any sugges- tions will be appreciated. by Mike Burke I really don't understand it. Num- bers seem t o be taking over. Every- where I look, nothing but numbers. I don't know when it all began. I think it probably got started when some ingenious fellow had the idea to number the days. It immediately caught on,and a craze swept the world. "Every day must have a number." But i f one number is good, what a- bout two? So now we have years. Wait a minute, what about weeks? Today, thousands o f years later, every day still has a number. For those of you who have lost track, today's number is 2/16/79. Of course, if it worked so well for days, it must be great for Everything. How about time! "Hey, do you have the time ?" "Yeh, 8:45." And distance;two miles or 46 feet. A big one, a g e. "How old are you ?" "I swear, I really AM I8." But the number craze has gone a bit too far. People have become numbers. Did you know there are 1054 students at Consolidated? Which one are you? I'd like to think I'm 537. If you don't think people have be- come numbers,look at a driver's license. You almost need a driver's liscense to prove you are a person, and it's full of numbers: Height -5'9 "; Weight -150; Date of Birth - 5/16/61; Liscence number - 9264061; Expiration Date; Registration number; etc. Some people are luckier than others, and have more numbers.

February 16, 1979 Features New Fac a Iii by Debbie Sultemeier "Starving artist" is an appropriate term according to Mrs. Sharon Oates, A &M Consolidated's new art teacher. After getting her degree in art at Sam Houston and doing some internation- al studying,Mrs. Oates tried free -lance selling of her work. She found that money in this competitive field was hard to come by. Mrs. Oates' reasons for going into teaching were that she "wanted to some- how be in art. Teaching was a way to work with kids, especially high school age, and still work in art." Teaching experience for her includes seven years in Bryan, where she grew up and one year in Germany teaching Ameri- cans there. Mrs. Oates came to CHS be- cause she was "dissatisfied with Bryan and I live in College Station and my church is here." When not teaching, Mrs. Oates still tries her hand at free-lancing- by_ tra- Paper Tiger Features Page 3 Art Department veling to art shows and exhibits all o- ver Texas where she sells her work. Mrs. Oates' taste in art is "basic- ally conservative. I like a resemblance of what it is." She cited a twentieth I century artist such.as Eacher Wutch) as her favorite artist and clay as her favorite medium. Hobbyists and commercialartists make up the art world. According to Mrs. Oates, the difference between these two is that hobbyists paint "when the mood hits them." Artists on the other hand, mass produce, working 8 -10 hours a day. Painting is a job to them. A college degree -in art is mainly for the commercial artists and teach ers. Mrs. Oates said`thia way artists can learn of certain types of art such as pottery or stained glass, and learn how art originated. "for dabblers college won't help," she emphasized. Mrs. Oates recommended starting in Mork and Mindy of Top of School Opinion Poll by Karen Scrutchfield On Thursday nights at 7 p.m., more students at CHS sit down in front of their television sets to watch "Mork and Mindy" than any other show. How- ever, their favorite night for televis- ion is Tuesday night, followed closely by Thursday. Approximately half the students re- sponded to a poll given on Feb. 5 in which "Mork and Mindy" was voted their favorite show. Runners up, in order, were "M *A *S *H ", "Saturday Night Live ", "Eight is Enough ", "Three's Company ", "Family ", and "Starsky and Hutch ". Students also named ABC as the net- work they watch the most. Most students do watch "Saturday Night Live and the local news, such as Channel 3 or Chan- nel 15. Rating companies run similar polls on larger scales. National networks use poll results run on a national scale. KBTX Channel 3 borrows its results from ABC and CBS because it runs their pro- grams. KAMU Channel 15 gets results from the PBS national poll and a local poll run through its program guide eve- ry summer. Representatives from KAMU and KBTX said Tuesday night is their viewers' favorite night. Rodger Lewis, program director at KAMU, said the viewing au- dience is also large on weekends. Both localstations get feedback from viewers. The viewers call, write, or come in to complain about anything from dirty words to cancelled programs. The major difference between KBTX and KAMU is that KBTX is affiliated-,dth the ABC and CBS networks while KAMU is affiliated with PBS. PBS (Public Broadcasting System) is a non - profit television network. The stations showing PBS programs show no commercials. The owners of the stations are issued licenses stating the sta- tions' purpose is to O serve the commu- nity." According to Lewis, KAMU is fi- nanced mostly by Texas A &M University. However,taxpayers are urged to contrib- ute because the Foundation for Public Broadcasting matches every dollar con- tributed with a half dollar from the Foundation's own funds. KBTX is affiliated with both ABC and CBS. These major networks pay KBTX for air time, as do advertisers. Thus, this commercial station does not solicit funds from taxpayers. Yearbook Thrives by Erin Keeley "Unlike the Paper Tiger, yearbook is like a small business, and also self - supporting," said Barbara Ward, advisor of the Tig erland . When Ward said the yearbook was self - supporting, she explained that without the students' buying yearbooks there would not be a yearbook. . That is why everyone is encouraged to buy a Tiger - land. This year the Journalism III class, or yearbook staff, is larger than last year's staff with Editor -in -chief Tom Urban, Assistant editor Nancy Naugle, Activities editor Terri Barnes, Organi- aztions editor Carol Randall, Limelight editor Darby Moss, Sports editor Robir (Continued on page 10) the community for people breaking into the art field by entering the Prazos Valley art sales. The artist can then branch out to shows in big cities such as Dallas, Austin, or Houston. In one of these cities budding artists find galleries to show the work and build up their reputations. A large problem is finding money to advertise the art. There are scattered artists, not many but some, in the Bryan- College Station area. Texas A &M is starting a minor in art which should attract more.' She mentioned a store for amateurs to sell their work run by the Brazos Val- ley art league on South College Street. Mrs. Oates describes many of her students at CHS as "having natural tal- ents and needing direction to develop." She explained that with practice over half of her art students could paint e- ven though they would not be great. Mrs. Oates believes "everyone has tal ent in some medium of art but just hasn't looked for it." She emphasized that art includes many aspects such as silkscreen and macrame, not just the traditional painting or drawing. Mrs. bates describes her classes as "expl- ,oratory in all media."

After noticing half the student body walksout to different parking spots to get into cars and drive away d ring fourth or fifth lunch periods, suspi- cions where they go arise. There are three main ways a student can spend his lunch period, the cafete- ria, home, or "out ". "Out" consisting mainly of fast food resturants. Paper Tiger polled the student body to find out "Where most students go for lunch" and "How much they spend ". The poll reveals rh•at only fiftec n percent ofi the student bony evef leaves campus at lunch Lime. The :est of the students leave ranging from once in a clue moon to ever day , in fact about thirty -five percent leave everyday. Money is a different matter. The daily cost of lunch ranges from nothing (sack lunches) to around $5.00. Ninety percemt of those staying here spend less than a dollar as opposed to six percent of those leaving everyday (ex- cluding home). Do those percent eat a deep— Toni About twenty percent of those leaving everyday go home. Where do the rest of the students go for lunch? In the poll the student body made many replies to this question. Some of the answers are as follows;Pepes, Danvers, Whataburger, i- P -4- rte._, I, Everbody Do For Lunch ? Market, Peppers, Swensons, 3 -C- Bar -B -q, Sonic, Grapevine, and Mamas Pizza. Why do studnets leave? Food is a main reason. Others include getting a way from school and teachers, break in the routine and of course, not enough chairs in the cafeteria. If most students want to leave, then why don't they? Transportation is a "May Have Your Every morning at 9:30 overthe inter- com system a deep voice booms out the morning announcements. This voice belongs to Rocky Path, student body President. Helping Rocky are Debbie Robertson, Gladys Coleman, Alice Villarreal , Mike Burke, and Earl Bowerman. After school started, Rocky talked to Mr. Jim Cole, assistant principal, to see if the students could take over the announcements. During football season, Lisa Shankles, with the aid of Rocky, wrote skits to help build school spirit. "We wanted to keep their attention span through humor. It's really fun, I enjoy it." commented Debbie. To make the announcements run smoothly, Rocky tries to match the stories with the different types of big problem, students don't have a car, don't have a license, or both.Further -- more none of their friends do either. One student does not want to be late for class. Also many people do not have a lunch period, unless 15 minutes could be consisdered a lunch period. The wea- ther is also taken into consideration. AttetionPlease T voices. Anv club member or faculty sponsor can, get an announcement aired by com- pleting the proper forms found in the office. Then they must be approved by Mr. Cole. One of the new features added to the announcements is the singing of "Happy Birthday" to all the teachers. "The most important thing is to break up the monotony," added Rocky. The thing guawanteed to break up monotony is the "bloopers" continued Rocky. Because of the feedback, Alice had to start the same story over about five times before she gave up. Also when handwriting is unclear some an noucements are mispronounced. 0 BOTTOMLESS BUFFET" SALAD, PIZZA,AND DRINK ONLY $2.00 BUFFET 11 -2 COUPON EXPIRES FEB 28 79 CONSOLIDATED 696-33E S 80 S MAMA'S PIZZA STUDENTS ONLY SUN - THURS 12 -11 FRI & SAT II-1 February 16,1979 Features Paper Tiger Features 'Page 5 The Way It Was 32 And 22 Years Back 1947 by Debbie Sultemeier The students of 1947 had some advan- tages over the students of today. With thirty -two seniors, it's hard to get lost in the crowd. They didn't have to decide what sporting event to go cheer at. There was a choice of the weighing an average of 156 lbs. football team, the basketball team with a 598 point total for the season. But these youth- ful athletes didn't go to Wyatt 's for their sneakers. Wyatt's was a flower shop. On rainy days they could listen to the school orchestra, read their news - paper, the round -up, or to go to a club meeting for 4 -H or the Press Club. Some of their dealings we can only speculate about such as the Senior Soup Supper. It could have been the natural Aggie aversion for Longhorns that was the cause of the change of the annual's name from the Shorthorn to the present Tigerland. Faculty of 1947 also stayed busy. In addition to teaching, they chose the V 1 students Most Likely to Succeed, Most Versatile and Most Representattve. 1957 By 1957 the population of CHS had almost doubled to 54 seniors. The 50's influence can be seen in the fact that the annual Homecoming dance was a sock hop. Other school dances were the New Year's,Sadie Hawkins, and the Christmas dance. Students of 1957 had more free time than their ancestors. Clubs had been introduced to them including JETS, Slide Rule, Auto Mechanics, Future Business Lead -rs, and Major Athletics. Athletes had advanced to 2A standing and weve beginning to make's name for thenselves. The tennis team sent three players to the state meet. They were joined there by a broad jumper named Donald Tax and golfer Jerry Holland. Swimmer John Harrington placed eighth at State. HOMEMADE ICE CREAM BANANA SPLITS REGULAR CONES SUNDAES COFFEE SOUTHWOOD PLACE On the other side of the fence, the football team won only one game (even with all -state honorable mention Billy Karanaugh). They were still one win a- head of the basketball team. CHS was well represented at state in 1957. In addition to the athletes, the ome -act play "The Proposal" won first there. Some of our present faculty members could give a first -hand account of 1957 Peeping oust( of the faculty section of the Tigerland were Mr. Arthur Bright, algebra teacher; Mr. Horace Schaffer, football coach; and Mr. K.C.-Morgan, biology and science teacher. Another familiar event was the senior trip to New Braunfels and the Junior - Senior Banquek. The latter included a dance to the Aggieland Combo. Stay tuned nett issue for 1967 when Mr. Bright moves up to principal and five band members tour South America. ASSORTED FLAVORS SHAKES MILTS SUGAR CONES SANDWICHES milli DIP 18 64 IMOT EMS lid.

Va Walks Over Tomball 70-42 by Scott Owings The A &M Consolidated Junior Varsity basketball team closed out its season with a 70 - 42 victory over the Tomball Cougar JV team Feb. 6 in Tomball. The Tigers came out sluggish in the first quarter and fell behind 10 -6. at the end of the period. Despite the slow start, Consol had a good second quarter and rallied ahead of the Cougars 28 -21 at intermission. The second half was much like t h e second quarter as host Tomball could do nothing to stop hot shooting Consol. At the end of the third quarter, the Tigers had broken t h e game open and were ahead 50 - 31. The Tigers emptied the bench in the final stanza and went on to win 70 -42,in a very lopsided con- test. Mark Garner put in 14 points, a n d Scott Oldner added ten in the winning effort. The JV finished their season with a fine record of 23 - 7 for the year, and 7 -3 in district play which placed them ird behind Huntsville and Katy. P. T. Poll I. U.C.L.A.« (3) 57 2.

Last year Texas had more people show up at a high school games than in any other state. Basketball has come to A &M Consoli- dated. The boy's teamhad its best sea- son in a long time, and the girls team was excellant. Near the end of zone play the girls were challenging for the zone title. The boys were trying for a second place before they fell on hard times losing four or five close games which ended the Tigers basketball play- off hopes. The boys were excellant before zone play started earning good wins and a semifinal position in their own tourna- ment. The girls team started out on bad note, but picked up the slack at the end of the season. Don't despair if you feel that the Tiger basketball hopes are going down the drain with senior grads as Mark Hill, Jeff Clouse, Carla Wiese, Susan Parris, and Joyce Calhoun. Both the JV teams had excellant teams. 79 Baseball beam Looks Good by Cole Watson The Tiger's outlook for the 1978 sea- son is bright. Even after losing six seniors, the Tigers still have much depth provided by the returning members of last year's team.
