Editor s Note: Sixth in a series on the Heart and Soul of the Texas Panhandle.
In traveling the Texas Panhandle, I sensed in many communities a genuine, thoughtful loyalty to people and place. I am not naïve and know that in towns, as in many families, no matter how big or small, there are frequently underlying tensions. Leave it to Beaver and Father Knows Best are not reality TV. The antidote for tension is loyalty. Thoughtful loyalty requires an extension beyond self. Loyalty has always been present in great organizations. Families, places of worship and commerce, farms and factories, if effective, are glued together by loyalty.

CANYON As West Texas A&M University prepares to open its spring semester on Monday, registration is still open and the university remains committed to serving its students on an individual basis.
“Following CDC guidelines and the best advice from experts as vaccines become more widely available, we have renewed optimism about our spring semester and how we will continue to resume normal campus life,” said WTAMU President Dr. Walter Wendler. “As we do, we will continue to respond in every way possible to the specific needs and hardships of our students and their families.”
Spring athletics will resume, though in front of reduced crowds, with plans to expand crowds for athletic events as the semester progresses.
