I was Professor Caso March, of
the Baylor Law School, and a
former candidate for governor of
Texas. After lunch the convention
reconvened and went into Meverbl
small meetings to discuss Stu
dent Courts, Honor System, Stu

tion Procedure, Council Author!-
' ty, and Union Building support
and tttudenti prices. ' F
Following the panels-^he convon^ [

and all college dance,- held in the

; Following the convention, opti-
!nmm was high ai|nong the dele
gates who felt they had seen a bad
ly needed organization off to a
good start. Opinions that the TISA
membership would m u sli r o o m
quickly were predominate among
' the delegates.
Despite the seriousness, and
sometimes painstaking slowness, of
| the convention, the meeting was
not without humor. After a heated
debate on the wisdom of having a
permanent nominating i committee
in the -organization, the chair call
ed for a roll call vote to-decide
the issue. The voting was predomi
nately negative, but TSCW and
A&M had voted “Yes.” When the
University of Texas, near the end
of the roll call list, was called, it’s
chairman rose with great solem
nity and said, “The University of
Texas takes great pleasure, for
the first time in history, of siding
with its friends the Texas Aggies
and voting yes on this grave is
sue!”, The entire convention rose
and applauded wildly at this pro
nouncement-.

a radio broadcast before the Ag
gie Muster.
Each one returned with a pic
ture of the fair Miss which was
signed “To Ben (or whatever the
name was) from Bebe.” It was a

Senior Ring Dance
Called Big Success
BY TOM CARTER
“One of the best dances of the
year.” That was the phrase that
most seniors used to describe the
Senior Ring Dances that were held
Friday and Saturday nights.
With music furnished by Hal
McIntyre and his orchestra, the
seniors held their last class dance
before graduation.
The banquet Saturday night in
Duncan Hall also was a hit with
those who attended. Boyce House,
famed Texas Author, was guest
speaker for the affair and he kept
a constant ripple of laughter going
with some of his tall tales of Texas.
The Ring Ceremony, the most
impressive thing of tho weekend,
was hold in the dining room adja
cent to the dunce floor of Sbisa
Hall. Two ring's were used and tho
ceremonies were over In much
shorter time than last year. Tables
Were arranged so that those sitting
ut them could watch the ceremony.
The Hall was decorated with
maroon and white crepe paper for
ming a large “T” in the center of
the ceiling. On the walls were car
toons depicting incidents in the life
of a student. Covering the front of
the band stand was a drawing of
a group of “Wildcntting” seniors

ted by Dean W. L. Pfriberthy, C.

good if not better.
Several of those attending were

in the ring just a little too long.”

BY FRANK CUSHING
Miss Sue Howell, National Maid
of Cotton for 1949, will arrive on
the A&M campus Friday to parti

will ambassador of the American
Cotton industry, Miss Howell is

leans; and the Memphis Cotton
Carnival.
The 19-year-old blonde was se
lected ’49’s Cotton Maid from the
candidates entered by cotton-inter
est groups from the 18 cotton
growing states. The National Coun
cil of Cotton designates the girl to
be named maid after judging on
the basis of personality, intelli

to meet people, and talk before
groups as well as on appearance.
Lives In California
Miss Howell, whose home is in
Bakersfield, California, was attend
ing the University of California
when she was selected. A sopho
more there, she was taking a lib
eral arts course with a planned
major in speech and psychology.
She appeared on the cover of
Life Magazine October 25, 1949,
where she was tagged aa a typical
American College girl. In case
memory fails you, she shared the
cover with two other University of
California co-eds; all three were
busily engaged in rooting for the
football team.
Miss Howell’s normal college
life was varied and busy since ane
worked aa a reporter on the
school daily, was a member of the

against federalization of the Na
tional Guard.
The officorn, meeting here yes
terday, voted against taking the
National Guard from jurisdiction
of the states and placing it under
federal control. Tho National ROA
takes the opposite stand.
Judge Bob Hall of Dallas, said,
“the National Guard is function
ing ten times as good as the or
ganized reserve corps.” Hall is
national junior vice president of
the reserve officers association.
Col. Guy I. Warren, Corpus
Christi, resolutions committee
chairman, said: ^
“As long as the U. S. Army al
lows 200,000 to 300,000 reserve
officers, not to mention enlisted
men, to wilt on the vine, they have
no right to take over the National
Guard. Until the army gives us,
the reserve, a program, it should
not be allowed to take over the
guard and let it wilt on the vine
too.”
Maj. Francis G. Bray of Hous
ton is the new commander of the
Texas department. He. was senior
vice commander.
Lt. Comdr. Ray Edson of Cor
pus Christi is the new senior vice
commander.
