For 1951 - 52

Measles Preva len l
In Bryan-College
Measles was the most prevalent
disease in the Bryan-College Sta
tion area last week with 87 cases
reported by the Brazos County
Health Unit.
College Station had 31 cases,
eight of which were students at
A&M.
The State Health Department re
ported 4264 cases of measles
throughout the state last week.
Over a seven year period, the state
average for the first week in May
is 2240.
Hands Off Policy Effective
The most effective way to deal
with the epidemic, according to Dr.
David E. Brown, director of the
Brazos County Health Unit, is to
let it run its course. Since the
disease is widespread, the director
expected relatively few cases of
measles during the next four or
five years.
Parents reportedly are not at
tempting to keep their children at
home to avoid contact with the
Hildebrand Selected
FHA Vice-President
Miss Janice Hildebrand, A&M
Consolidated High School junior,
was elected first vice-president of
the Texas Association of Future
Homemakers at the state meeting
held May 3, 4, and 5 in Fort Worth.
Miss Hildebrand was first chosen
to be a state officer at the area
eight meeting in Huntsville on
March 31. At the state meeting
she was interviewed by the state
nominating committee and was se
lected as a nominee for first vice-
president.
The House of Delegates of the
FHA elected her to the vice-presi
dency on Saturday morning.
One of Miss Hildebrand’s official
duties will be to attend the Nation
al Youth Leadership Conference in
Estes Park, Colo., June 18-23, to
serve on the work program com
mittee there. Twenty-four girls
from Texas will attend this con
ference.
High Jump
(Continued from Page 3)
6’ 3” and Baylor’s Jack Lucas has
leaped 6’ 4”.
Texas seems to have the broad
jump well in hand with Charlie
Meeks. He leaped 24’ 9” last Fri
day, which is just short of the
24’ 9%” conference record set by
Hale of Rice in 1932.
Meeks has a chance to break that
record but will have trouble staying
ahead of the all-around Ag sopho
more Bobby Ragsdale who leaped
24’ 4” in Austin.
Bill Johnson of Texas, Jack Lu
cas of Baylor, Jim Gerhardt of
Rice, John Dunn of TCU and Bill
Henry of A&M have all jumped
over 22’ and will fight it out for
third, fourth and fifth.
The javelin throw is apparently
an all Longhorn event with Ray
Marek the top choice. He threw
the spear 209’ 11” last Friday, and
the SWC record is 216’ 8%” set
by O’Neill of SMU in 1939.
Steer Bob Cone has thrown 194’
10” and his teammates Don Klein
and Jim Dowell have consistently
placed-

conference match of the year as
they slipped the knot in the Horned
Frogs sails, 4-2 on the Toads home
grounds.
Bob Dahoney is the leading Ag
gie in individual Conference play
as he has won three of four match
es. Toney Guerrero and Johnnie
Barrett have won one of four, and
J. C. Fletcher was a l-and-2 rec
ord. Bill Baker has no wins in
two matches.
If records speak for themselves,
Dahoney will have the best chance
of any Aggie to win the Individual
Championship from defending
champ Paul Weaver of Rice this
weekend.

First Day

Friday evening a chuck wagon
supper and a variety show, put on
by the various area organizations,
supplied the entertainment for the
delegates.
Saturday morning the House of
