James F. Dempsey Jr., ’55, re cently wrote Mrs. Elsie Patranella, manager of Radio Station WTAW saying that he represented the A&M Club of Fort Richardson and Elmendorf Air Force Base, Alaska, with about GO club members. The club, he said, would like to have recording tapes of A&M g’ames sent to them by air mail, if possi ble. The station manager got per mission from the Humble Oil and Refining Company, which owns broadcasting rights of all games involving Southwestern Confer ence teams, and the rest was easy. Each game will be tape-recorded and immediately airmailed with out cost, to the Alaskan Aggies.

Washington, D.C. 2518 Great Oaks Parkway Austin 5, Texas — Phone: GL. .3-6420 US Government Life Insuranee Pays Dividends The first dividend in 25 years will be paid in 1957 to policyholders of 5-year term United States Government Life Insurance, according- to Dr. George T. McMahan, manager of the Veterans Administration Center in Waco. A $25 million increase in the regular annual 1957 dividend for some 5 million policyholders of NSLI (National Service Life In surance World War II) was re vealed. About $210 million will be distributed which represents a 13 per cent increase over pervious payments, McMahan said. Policyholders are requested not to inquire in advance about their dividend payments so as not to delay the processing time, Mc Mahan asked. “Only those GI insurance policy holders which will not share in the 1957 dividends are those who have the nonparticipating post - Korea NSLI term and permanent plans,” McMahan pointed out. The law under which these policies are is sued prohibited the payment of dividends, he added. Had The Vantage Point IONIA, Mich.

Why were there so many, or for that matter, any seniors non-reg at the Univer sity of Houston football game Sat urday night? What kind of example are you setting by telling your men to wear their uniforms and then not wearing them yourselves? Are you ashamed to wear your uni form, afiaid to, or is it just simp ly too much trouble ? We consider, as men before us have, that it is an honor and a privilege to represent the State of Texas, Texas A&M College, and the Corps of Cadets by wearing the Aggie uniform.
