They not only un derstand the pulse of today’s mu sic better, but they are helping to raise the level of all popular music. College ihusicians already play ing a part in this musical growth are Woody Herman, Marquette University; Jimmie Lunceford, Fisk University; Paul Weston, Dartmouth College and Columbia University; and Fred Waring, Pen nsylvania State College. The more serious nature of to day’s university students is re flected in today’s music. The best and most acceptable must have a studied perfection to meet ap proval of the critical college group. Musicians who fail to recognize this do not last long at the top, if they ever get there. I feel sure that a large part of my next band will be made up of university-educated musicians. They are the ones who must give voice to the emotions of a people whose standard of living is higher than any others in the world, the ones who must give us leadership, the young men of today.

BOARD REAFFIRMS Continued from Page One We endorse the statement fo"the press made by Mr. G’. R. White, President of the Board of Direct ors of the A. & M. College of Texas, in which he stated that any practice which prohibits a student from making the best use of his time toward securing the educa tional benefits offered by this in stitution would be eliminated; that the Board of Directors is whole heartedly and unanimously in ac cord with any action which the administration of the College takes to reach this goal; that the Board has the utmost confidence in Mr. Gilchrist, Dean Rollins, and Col onel Meloy and that they give them complete support in making hazing a thing of the past at Texas A. & M. College. The Board also endorses the statement given to the press by President Gilchrist on February 1 and recognizes that ‘hazing is the principle trouble and they have this date reaffirmed instructions previously given to the adminis tration that hazing practices, both physical and mental, must be elim inated. The stand taken by the Board and the administration in this matter has been endorsed by hundreds of citizens of Texas, and this is expressed in the following quotation from one of these let ters: ‘I have long believed that A. & M. would never attain the scholastic standards in herent in your Institution un less the hazing of freshmen was abolished. This pernicious system cuts at the very heart of academic standards by pre venting the establishment of intellectual habits on the part of these boys. It is my de liberate judgement that in tak ing this step you who admin ister the A. & M. College of Texas have taken the greatest step forward that has been made in the history of the College.’ ” Yesterday was the opening day of a two-day session of the A. & M. Board of Directors. Other items on the agenda, of which no definite word had been received, include the following five points: 1. The retention or dismissal of Head Coach Homer Norton. A few weeks ago the Athletic Council, in a closed meeting, made a recommendation on this matter. Their suggestion, known only to members of the council, is sub mitted to the president and the board of directors for approval. 2. Appointments to important Copyright 1<M7, Liggett 4[^{vEits Tobacco Co faculty positions. 3. Acceptance of the Bluebonnet Ordnance tract. 4. $10,000 endowment offered North Texas Agricultural College by North American Aviation at Grand Prairie. 5.
