Transcript | EVOLUTION IS INTERRUPTED The year 1960—this year—there was no Frontier Fiesta. There were no mavericks, no cancan lines, no beards, no Fiesta pups. There was no one saying, "I'll see you tonight on the lot . . . Would you like to buy some confederate money . . . That number was too slow, speed it up a little." There was no Yosemite Sam with his red beard flying, telling Houstonians that they had "Better be thar." Mayor Cutrer performs the traditional ribbon-cutting duties. LIFE IN ABUNDANCE ... OR TOTAL EXTINCTION? Fiesta is threatened with extinction. It is a strong organism. It has weathered trials in the past. It has an unquenchable spirit and a determined will to live when it is fed by student enthusiasm. ORGANISM MUST ADAPT . . . NATURAL SELECTION With an organism as complex as Frontier Fiesta, problems are expected to arise in its functioning. Fiesta has many problems to lick. But, with help, it can lick them by utilizing the process of natural selection. By adapting to changing situations, by developing fully the useful qualities it possesses and discarding the useless, injurious characteristics, Fiesta can return a mature and permanent member of the University's world. THIS . OR THIS Fiesta Association meets to plan the '60 snow- Six airectors are elected to organize, publicize. Only publicity is "Sorry, No Fiesta this year.' |
