Loveless Writes
Manager’s Article
Sidney L. Loveless, Manager in
College Station of the Central
Texas Agency for the American
General Insurance Company, has
an article published in the current
issue of Manager’s Magazine, na
tionally-circulated journal publish
ed by the Life Insurance Agency
Management Association of Hart-
foi-d, Conn.
Mr. Loveless, manager f o r
American General at College Sta
tion since 1948, had been an agent
with the company before gx-aduat-
ing fiom A&M in 1938. Mi*. Love
less sex*ved in the Ai*my fi*om
which he was dischai’ged a lieu-
tonant colonel. He is a graduate
of an Agency Management Asso
ciation management school.
This school year finds 250 stu
dents eni’olled at the College
thi-ough the Oppox-tunity Awards
Progxam. Fox* 1952-53 these stu
dents will receive benefits totaling
$71,200 fiom their scholax*ships.
Started With Gift
This px*ogx*am which begaji in
1946, originated with a gift of
$50,000 from A&M men thiough
the Association’s Development
Fund. Mx*. and Mrs. Jesse H.
Jones of Houston, through the
Houston Endowment, Inc., added
$50,000 for agricultux*al scholax*-
ships in the same pattei*n. Since
that time many Texans have join
ed to make this one of the major
scholastic progi*ams of the countx-y.
As a supplement to the awards,
students are given the oppoxfunity
of earning additional money
thx*ough student jobs on the cam
pus and summei* employment. By
such employment it is possible for
the award winner to finance his
college education completely.

Tax Increase

identical boax*d with one excep
tion. This is that this boax-d creat
ed by the city council would not
be suppox-ted by taxes, but in the
same mannex* as the present rec
reation council—through fees and
voluntary contributions. This
means simply that a, boax*d, exactly
like the tax supported boax*d would
be created, but it would x*eceive no
tax aid.
The main pux-pose of both boards
as stated in the proposed ox*dinance
would be, “To conduct a constxuc-
tive and wholesome pxogx-am of
x-eci’eational activities for the ben
efit of all the inhabitants of the
city, particularly the youth.”
Need for Taxes
The need for a tax-suppox*ted
boaxd was pointed out by Bux-chax-d
at the city council meeting. He
said, “If people want a I’eci-eation-
al pi*ogi*am, then it is evident that
the suppox-t must come from tax
soui’ces.”
This need, he continued, has been
bi'ought about by the decxease in
coxxtxibutions to the x*eci*eation
council. Bux*chaid emphasized that
the 1‘eci'eational facilities px*ovided
by the pi*oposed boaxd would be
pi’imai’ily for the youth, but eve-
x-yone in College Station could and
is encoux-aged to pai*ticipate.
Burchard said he felt confident
the motion would cax*i*y in the
April 7 election.
