those who have contributed to the
fund are Houston A. & M. Moth
ers Club, San Antonio A. & M.
Mothers Club, Fort Worth A. & M.
Mothers Club, Dallas A. & M.
Mothers Club, San Angelo A. & M.
Mothers Club, and numerous other

(Continued from page 1)
subjects will be “Financing of Co

conduct some special conferences

Dr. Hibbard is recognized as a
foremost agricultural economist. He
has served as head of the Depart

Iowa State College and at the Uni
versity of Wisconsin. He is now Pro
fessor Emeritus of Agricultural
Economics at the latter institution.
He is the author of numerous books
and research publications dealing
with land policies, marketing, tax
ation and other agricultural eco
nomic questions.
Anson Weeks—
(Continued from page 1)
Featured in his orchestra are
Eunice Clarke, Wes Hite, and Bud
Prentis, who under the skillful
guidance of Anson’s baton will
bring the corps the music for which
they are famous—that which pleas
es the college groups and at the
same i time is enjoyed by older
crowds.
In addition to winning fame for
himself Anson has provided the
field of entertainment with many
notable successes. One of his first
proteges was the younger brother
of the famous Bing Crosby, Bob.
Bob got his start while Weeks
was playing in San Francisco.
Griff Williams and Xavier Cugat,
both of whom are directing orches
tras of their own now, owe their
start in music to Weeks.
Having provided the music
world with these outstanding art
ists, Anson has turned his atten
tions to new talent in the hopes of
discovering and promoting another
star, and his efforts seem to be
quite successful in the discovery of
the sensational new vocalist, Eunice
Clarke, now being featured with
his orchestra.
'Weeks started his career as an
orchestra leader by quitting the
University of California the day
after his registration, forsaking a
football career, organizing his own
orchestra and starting on his road
to fame.

The success of the orchestra’s en
gagements on CBS and NBC na
tion-wide broadcasts led to many
important engagements in the east,
middle-west, and south-west.
Among these conquests were: St.
Regis Hotel, Roosevelt Hotel, and
Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New
York; the Aragon and Trianon Ball
rooms and the Edgewater Beach
Hotel in Chicago, and the Rice Ho
tel in Houston.
Having secured the public’s ap
