Mrs. Fullman explains
delayed Entre Nous
Lynn Grisard Fullman last year’s
Entre Nous editor, was invited to speak
to the student senate at its regular meet¬
ing Tuesday night. Mrs. Fullman made
several general statements before an¬
swering questions from the senate floor.
Mrs. Fullman stated that the late
arrival of the Entre Nous was not due
to her staff being late for deadlines. She
said she had three deadlines during the
year and that they had been met. All
final material was in to Mr. George H.
Smith, adviser, by a May 30 deadline
and it left his office in time to reach
the publishing company by the final
deadline June 5.
Dead days approach
Dead days will be Wednes¬
day, Thursday and Friday ac¬
cording to Joe Daniel, director
of student activities. During
these days there should be no
exams scheduled except for
make up exams and lab exams
so that students can prepare for
finals. All activities have been
discontinued for these days.
The Entre Nous staff received the
brownline proofs of the pages for the
annual in early August. These were
checked for mistakes and were sent
through university channels. Mrs. Full-
man said she understood that changes
were made before the proofs left the
campus, and that the changes caused
some delay and possible some addi¬
tional printing cost.
Mrs. Fullman said she understood
that the Entre Nous was to be printed
for $5800 and so when the university
recently received a bill for $8200 from
the publishers, they requested an item¬
ized statement. It was received a month
later, during Thanksgiving Holidays, and
it had not been approved before the
senate met Tuesday night because some
administrative personnal had been out
of town.
When asked about how many changes
were made in the Entre Nous by the
administration, Mrs. Fullman said she
could not answer the question because
she was never consulted in the changes.
In response to a question Mrs. Full-
man said that not all members of the
administration saw the pages of the
annual before they were sent to Taylor
Publishing Company. She had assumed
that all who were interested had been
shown the pages, but later she learned
some had not.

Paul Harvey presented
Honorary Law Degree
Paul Harvey, noted commentator,
was presented the key to the city by
Mayor George Seibels and awarded the
Honorary Doctor of Laws Degree by
President Leslie S. Wright in the last
convocation.
Awarding Mr. Harvey the Doctor of
Laws Degree, President Wright cited
him as being one of America’s best
known commenators, having won the
honor of Radio and Commentator of
the Year.
In general statements, Mr. Harvey
said there were more insecure young¬
sters and frustrated parents than ever
before. He said he was tired of seeing
parents attempting to be pals rather
than parents to their children. “I have
dropped out. I’ve quit trying to be a
brother and decided to stay a father to
my son.”
Mr. Harvey commented that he could
understand the frustrations which the
youth of .today are experiencing. He
J
Trustees to be discussed in series
by Lois King
The Board of Trustees for Samford
University consists of thirty-six mem¬
bers who serve for three years. There is
no age limit but they must be Baptists.
One-third of the members are elected
every year at the annual Alabama Bap¬
tist State Convention. The convention
tries to elect at least one trustee from
each Congressional District.
After thirty years of continuous ser¬
vice on the Board of Trustees, a person
may be nominated for life membership
with full privileges of regular trustees.
There are four life members — Mr. Pey¬
ton A. Eubank, Mr. John W. Gay, Dr.
J. D. Heacock, Mr. Frank P. Samford.
The President of the state convention
and the Executive Secretary of the state
Executive Office serve as ex-officio, non¬
voting members.
The other members of the Board of
Trustees are as follows: Dr. Joseph W.
Avery, Mr. Leo E. Bashinsky, Mr. Alvis
Briscoe, Mr. Harry B. Brock, Jr., Mr.
Milton J. Brooks, Mr. Ben B. Brown,
Dr. Oscar A. Davis, Mr. B. Roper Dial,
Mr. Major W. Espy, Mr. J. Hilliard
Felton, Mrs. W. Clarence Gardner, Dr.
Samuel A. Granade, Judge H. H.
Grooms, Mr. C. W. Gross, Mr. Frank
Hardy, Mr. James A. Head, Mr. A.

feels he can sympathize with a young
person who is called upon to, “pick up
the pieces of his elders bloody blun¬
ders.”
A question-answer period was pro¬
vided to enable students to hear the
personal opinions of Mr. Harvey. When
the subject of the silent majority was
raised, a student commented that the
ancient Greeks referred to the silent
majority as a grave yard and requested
that Mr. Harvey draw a parallel. Mr.
Harvey, given the title “Voice of the
Silent Majority” by “Esquire Maga¬
zine,” believes the silent majority is
silent simply because they do not want
Mr. Gallup or Mr. Harvey telling them
how to vote.
The question was asked if Mr. Har¬
vey’s shift from hawk to dove concern¬
ing the wars in Vietnam was made to go
along with the American mood. In re¬
ply, Mr. Harvey stated that he felt the
United States should “drive it or park
it in Indo-China.” When he realized
negotiations were not making progress,
that we were headed for a military dic¬
tatorship, Mr. Harvey felt he could not
continue as a hawk. He denied that the
reason for the switch had anything to
do with the mood of the country.
Mr. Harvey made several comments
concerning the schools of today. His
advice to students was, “Do not come
to Samford University because it is
what it is, and try to change it into
something that it is not.”
