'' 11 come from America’s new crop
( university men and women,
•■iring my 6 months stay in Cali-

( the new college bred musicians,
J id I have learned the true ex-

Modern American music.

To be opened February 24th.
Established by registered nurse.
Hours 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
Babies preferred at present

ly better type of musician from the
college group. 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

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. Authorization to ease a sat-
telite field of Dallas Naval Air
Station, Grand Prairie, for use of
North Texas A. C.
