Prairie View Gets
$25,000 From Jones
Jones Gives $25,000
A gift of, $25,000 from Mr. and
Mrs. Jesse H. Jones to Prairie
View A&M College has established
scholarship funds to enable needy
and deserving young Negro women
to prepare themselves for careers
in the field of nursing.
The gift was made through
Houston Endowment, Inc., a philan
thropic organization endowed by
Mr. and Mrs. Jones a number of
years ago for the* support of char
itable, educational and religious
undertakings.
Prairie View A&M College,
which has the only accredited col
lege work in nursing education
among the Negro colleges of the
southwest, will award the schol-
515th AF Band
Started By
Men at BAFB
When one of the largest
single personnel shipments in
recent months arrived at Bry
an Air Force Base last week,
there was a band on hand but
no music to greet the newcomers.
The chief reason was that the
new men, 34 of them, came to
BAFB to join the newly-activated
515th Air Force Band, which will
be under the direction of chief
bandsman, M/Sgt. Harold Rouss-
man.
With the exception of two veter
an bandsmen, S/Sgts. Daniel A.
Jackson and Jay E. Lawyer, the
group is composed of young airmen
straight from the Air Force train
ing center at Lackland AFB, Tex.
Graduates of the band school at
Lackland, most of the bandsmen
had previous musical experience in
high school and college bands and
orchestras.
Sgt. Roussman has been in the
musical field for 25 years, earlier
playing in and. leading college
bands and later working with mili
tary bands. A native of Miami,
Fla., Sgt. Roussman transferred
from the Army to the Air Force
two years ago. Wolters AFB, Min
eral Wells, Tex. was his last sta
tion before coming to Bryan.
At present the band is waiting
for its instruments and music to
arrive and within two weeks from
the date they receive shipment they
will be ready to play for all occa
sions.
The 515th Air Force Band will
play for parades and formations,
present band concerts and also
form two dance orchestras.
arships from this gift to deserving
young Negro women of outstanding
ability who wish to study nursing
education at the college and. would
not be able to do so without fi
nancial aid. Selections will be
made by the college’s scholarship
committee on the basis of need,
character and high school grades.
Funds Made Available
Funds will also be available for
young women who have made cre
ditable records in the study of
nursing at the college but who are
unable to complete their work with
out assistance.
With the demand for Negro nur
ses at an all-time high many are
still unable to make the necessary
training because of a lack of mon
ey, Prairie View’s Pres. E. B.
Evans told Jones at the time the
gift was made.
These new scholarship funds will
enable many competent young wo
men to take the course of train
ing and fit themselves for service
in the nursing field. Prairie View’s
trainings in addition to three years
of academic work, includes exper
ience at Jefferson Davis hospital
in Houston and John Sealy Hospi
tal at Galveston.
The gift for nursing scholarships
was the third scholarship fund
made available to 'Prairie View by-f
Mr. and Mrs. Jones, who in 1946
set aside $25,000 for the education
of Negro boys in agriculture and
of Negro girls in home economics
at the school.
Under the two previous gifts
sixty-four young men and women
have attended Prairie View to date,
receiving college educations which
W r ould have otherwise been denied
them for financial reasons. A num
ber have made outstanding records
since graduation and the twenty-
one now in college are excellent
students.

“McDonald and 1 were part of

The receiver was really in the
safety man’s zone, but the safety

‘We both left our zones and
started following the ball, like you
are supposed to do. Well, we ran
into each other and knocked one
another down. The SMU player
caught the ball and ran for a,

who was one of the vital elements
of A&M’s Saxe-McDonald-Lary de

This stalwart defensive network
had- risen to become the No. 3 de
fense in the nation.
Saxe fractured his left forearm
in the Trinity game and although
the team has some fairly capable
replacements, the absence of this
fine defensive demon has definitely
hurt.

New York, Nov. 14—(H 3 )—
Many of the nation’s major
colleges were ready today to
follow Yale’s example of drop
ping Spring football, but they
were playing it cagey—they want
ed assurances it would be done
on a national scale.
An attitude - of watchful waiting
generally followed the report that
university presidents, alarmed over
the future of the sport, were con
templating reforms likely to af
fect spring practice, bowl games
and the two-platoon system.
Yale University, one of the ivy-
covered institutions .that helped
give birth to American football,
announced yesterday 'that the eli
would drop spring practice, begin
ning in 1952.
Smaller colleges such as Wil
liams, Wesleyan and Amherst‘al
ready had taken such action. Yale
was the first of the big ones.
Others had talked about it, such
as the 17-member Southern confer
ence and the nine-member Pacific
Coast. They recommended the
move to their conference directors
and to the National Collegiate Ath
letic Association, the parent or
ganization.
The Southern, by an overwhelm
ing vote of its presidents, also rec
ommended banning all bowl games.
The Pacific! Coast suggested reex
amination of post-season football
and the two-platoon system.
Here was the situation in other
conferences:
Southwest -T- Question of elimi
nating spring training and bowl
games listed for discussion at
meeting Dec. 7-8. Most members
reportedly are ready to follow any
national trend but they are known
to favor bowl games.
Big Seven—Situation same as in
the Southwest.
most consistent and effective meth
od of informing members of club
activities, according to Pete Hard
esty, business manager of student
activities.
It is intended to eliminate many
of the announcements in the mess
halls. Only if a notice fails to up
per in The Batt or if there is a
correction to be made can such
announcements be broadcast, he
said.
In order to coordinate the activ
ities of the more than 200 clubs
and technical organizations on the
campus the following schedule has
been set up regarding meeting
dates:
Home Town Clubs—First and
Third Thursdays of each
month.
Technical Societies—First and
Third Tuesdays of each month.
Religious Activities — Wednes
days.
Student Senate—First Thursday
of each month.
MSG Council—Second Monday of
each month.
• Student Life Committee—Third
Monday of each month.
All organizations not already
listed in the Office of Student Ac
tivities must be registered, Hardes
ty stressed. College regulations re
quire that each club have its con
stitution on file in the office and
that all club money be deposited
here.
Approximately 25 organizations
have requested club aid. The ap
plications total about $4,000.
Granted requests will be used for
sending delegates to conventions,
having speakers on the campus and
for renting educational films. The
club aid fund will supply 50 per
cent of the expenses incurred for
these activities.

Pusan, Korea, Nov. 14—(/P)
The U.S. Eighth Army’s top
lawyer today said Commun
ists have killed at least 5,790
United Nations prisoners of
war, other than South Korean
troops, in atrocity slayings since
the start of the war.
Col. James M. Hanley of Seattle,
chief of the Eighth Army’s Judge
Advocate section, said in a state
ment nearly 75 per cent of the list
ed victims were Americans and the
rest volunteers from other coun
tries.
“The figures compiled by the
United Nations command are far
from complete,” Hanley said, “but
show a record of killings and bar
barism unique even in Communist
China.”
He said untabulated atrocity kill
ings of South Korean.soldiers prob
ably far outnumber - the tabulated
losses and do not even touch atroc
ity slayings of Korean civilians.
Hanley said South Korean mili
tary casualties in general have run
at least twice that of other U.N.
countries.
Hanley’s statement estimated
about 250,000 Korean civilians had
been killed by Communist since
the start of the fighting.
He said 25,575 political prisoners
and local South Korean officials
were killed in the Red retreat to
North Korea in the fall of 1950.
An additional 10,284 North Ko-
1 rean civilians' were killed in Octo
ber as the North Korean army
made a further retreat toward the
Ya.lu River border between Korea
and Manchuria.
Most of the latter were labeled
“reactionaries,” Hanley said.
Question: Can an ROTC student ov a.
member of the ORC buy life insurance
today without a War Exclusion Rider?
Answer: Yes. Most Texas life insur
ance companies and many of the out-of-
state companies doing business in Texas
will still sell an ORC student or a memebr
of the ORC a life Insurance policy which
will pay off the full face amount of in
surance in event of his death from any
cause, including death in combat in a for
eign land. Once the policy is issued, it can
never have the War Exclusion Rider added,
even if i.ho company which issued it should
change its underwriting rules in the fu
ture. ... If the person applying for
insurance has had training as an aircraft
pilot or crew member, or if he intenrs to
take such training in the future, the prac
tice of most insurance companies is to
place an Aviation Exclusion Rider on any
life insurance policy issued to him. The
effect of this Aviation Rider ordinarily is
to limit the amount paid to the beneficiary,
in event of the insured’s death from an
aircraft hazard (excluding flight as a
passenger on a commercial aircraft), to
the total of the premiums he has paid in,
with interest thereon. If a policy is prop
erly issued without an Aviation Rider, no
such Rider can later be added to the policy
even if the insured should change his mind
in the future and decide to take aviation
training.
NOTE: Any questions on life insurance
from A & M College students Will he
answered in this column or through direct
communication by Eugene Rush. Address
your questions to him at Box 1211, or call
him at 44066, or see him in his office above
