Viewpoints On College
The student body of the College
will be represented for the first
time, on the governing board of
the Ex-Student Association, fol
lowing the adoption of new by
laws for the Association at the or
ganization’s annual meeting here
last Sunday.
Under the new by-laws the of
ficers of the Senior Class and the
president of the Junior Class will
be automatically members of the
Association Council, which governs
and establishes the policies of the
Ex-Student Association.
On motion of H. O. “Hub” John
son the meeting inserted an amend
ment to the new by-laws provid
ing that the elected officers of the
Ex-Servicemen’s Club would also
be members of the Council.
The new by-laws which take ef
fect next September, will thus
provide student representation on
the Ex-Student council in the num
ber of as many as twelve to four
teen men.
In explaining the revolutionary
change, Mr. C. M. Elwell, vice pres
ident of the Ass’n. stated, “we
think that ALL A. & M. men are
deeply interested in working for
the College. We want members of
the student body to feel that they
have a part in our program for
A. & M., and we want them to
know what the Association is doing
at all times. After all, within a few
years all of them will be Ex-Stu
dents themselves and they will be
better informed Ex-Students if they

PROFIT
You want your child to enjoy the
benefit of a very low rate.
Everyone knows that life insurance prem
iums necessarily increase with age, on ac
count of the increase in the death rate. Ev
ery year of delay in taking out insurance
means an increase in the cost per dollar of
protection, or a reduction in the amount of
insurance per dollar of premium.
When a person waits a few years before
taking out a policy, the increased premium
must be paid not only the first year but also
each year, as long as the policy remains in
force.
The increase in the annual premium at the
younger ages is not very large, but that
difference invested each year at compound
interest over the life of the policy often
reaches a sizeable sum.
For instances, if your child is now age 10
and you wait until he is age 15 before plac
ing a $5,000 Ordinary Life policy on his life,
the difference in premiums, compounded at
4% to age 65, will amount to more than
$1,000!
