SWC Games
About GO Aggies stationed in
Alaska, far from the broadcasting-
range of Texas A&M College foot
ball games, are going to listen to
the play-by-play account of the
remaining games.
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.
It makes a difference of two or
three weeks in finding out who
won.

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.

Letters
To the Editor,
We have a question to put be
fore the corps seniors. 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.
