Don’t Be Late Sunday- Set Clocks Back 1 Hour Saturday Night

Today on Southeast Texas Senior News we remind our readers that it is time to set our clocks back this Saturday night.

However, I’m not in charge of such decisions and don’t like to be late for Sunday church, Sunday brunch, or NFL Sunday games. All across Southeast Texas and beyond, Americans are going to try to remember which way to move their clocks this weekend. The... Read More

October13th Wildcatter Weekend at Spindletop Gladys City

How do we get oil out of the ground? We’ve all seen oil derricks before. Southeast Texas is littered with them- new and shiny, ancient and rusty, and everything in between. My dad used to work on a drilling rig and has tried to explain to me what his role was. Still, I’ve never really understood how they work.  It’s a shame, as they play such a rich role in our Golden Triangle economy. Spindletop Gladys City, on the Lamar Beaumont Campus, is a great place to learn more... Read More
