Off the Cuff-—
What Goes
On Here
By .TOE BUSER
Apparently, the people in Lub-
f bock aren’t accustomed to Aggies,
especially Aggies .with knee boots.
One tlmsly clad senior strolling
through the city of the Red Raid
ers reported a number of Lubbock
citizens staling in amazement at
his footwear.
Most amazed by the boots seem
ed to be two policemen who in
tently observed the Ag as he walk
ed by. When he was almost out
of earshot, one of them said to the
other, “Boy, is that a dandy uni
form.”

Solon Says Strife
May Close Schools
MARSHALL, UP) — State Rep.
Regan Huffman said yesterday he
believed Texas school boards now
have the power to close their
schools if racial violence is threat
ened.
The East Texas lawmaker added,
however, that “some legislation
may be necessary before private
schools can function.
“This might be accomplished by
giving individual students the per-
capita apportionment that now
goes to the school district,” he
said.
“The students, white and Negro,
could use the money to go to a
private school,” he added.
Huffman said he believed the
number one problem facing the
Texas Legislature is segregation
and new legislation should he con-
sidei’ed in the coming special ses
sion.
He said that due to the action
of the President in Little Rock,
segregation overshadows water
problems, lobby control measm’es
or anything else.
“Safeguai'ds should be taken by
the Legislature that in th» event
. . . the federal government sends
troops with bayonets and guns,
we will be in a position to close
the public schools and open up
private schools,” Huffman said.
Lions made final preparations
for their annual ladies’ night to be
held Saturday night at 7:30 at the
picnic grounds west of College Sta
tion on the American General In
surance Company’s lots. Capt. R.

gram which will include the instal
lation of six new members.

E. J. Briggs, Philip Weihs, Wil
liam Barnard, Grange Coffin, Wil
liam Millier Jr. and Charles Gos
per.
Other business of the meeting
yesterday included reading of min
utes of the Board of Directors’
meeting held Saturday. Lions
pledged their support to the Hem
ophilia Project of the College and
City. The project is a bloocj do
natio*! drive which will see the

Teague Seeks Delay
In Final .Decision
Bryan Air Force Base will be closed in mid-summer,
1958 if Air Force officials follow plans and sign an order to
that effect. Congressman Olin Teague of College Station told
The Battalion last night.
In a telephone report from Washington, D.C., Teague
said the Secretary of the Air Force disclosed the plans to
him while he was inquiring on the base’s future.
Teague said he had asked the secretary to delay or
postpone his final decision until the congressman could “get
a good look at the figures” to establish whether the air
base should be closed or not.

With the flu on the downgrade,
the College Hospital reports few
students entering the hospital with
Asiatic flu, according to Dr. Char

About 35 men entered the hos

Joe Delatte Rests
Leg Injury at Home
Everybody who remembers Joe
Delatte and the three-wheel bicycle
he pedaled around the campus last
year is probably wondering what

his leg this summer and was un
able to return to A&M for the fall
semester.
Bi-eazeale feels that since Joe

A high pressure area over cen

Partly cloudy skies with little

the picture. He indicated
doubt at plans to close the
base after seeing these fig
ures.
Teague said he tried to see Air
Force officials yestefrday to learn
more and failed but would attempt
a hearing again today. He will
return to this area tomorrow.
Col. James A. Gunn, base com
mander, said last night he had had
no official notice on the Air Force"
plans. However, he indicated he
had discussed the problem with
Teague before the congressman re
turned to Washington.
“If it is to be closed, it is un
doubtedly part of an overall plan
for the United States,” he said
Teague termed Air Force fig
ures on BAFB “confusing.”
“One section of the Air Force
says it. will take $30 million to
place Bryan in condition while an
other section says only $8 million
will be needed,” Teague observed.
He indicated that the Air Force
still judges the futures of BAFB
and four other bases “on a mone
tary basis.”
The Air Force had earlier decid
ed to cut its pilot training program
from 5,500 new pilots a year to
3,300 and later to close a number
of pilot training bases not operat
ing on sound economic basis.
However, Teague’s announce
ment of plans to closing BAFB
was the first indication of an end
to pilot training at the Bryan base.
Until now the Air Force has
said it had no plans for the base
beyond 1960.
Teague said “dozens of Air
Force sources have indicated to me
that Bryan should be fourth ou the
list of air bases to be closed and
l intend to keep working on this.”
The congressman had several
conferences with the Bryan Cham
ber of Commerce military affairs
committee concerning the base
before returning to Washington.
Teague has been working closely
with the committee, headed by
Joe Vincent; a subcommittee and
Travis Bryan, Bryan banker and
supporter of the air base.

Jr. Colleges Study
Student 1 Macement
Texas industry wants junior col
lege graduates but it does not un
derstand the utility of them, Jer
ald F. Bassler, director of person
nel development, Continental Oil
Co., told the 14th annual Junior
College Conference yesterday af
ternoon in the Memorial Student
Center.
In some instances our junior col
lege men have advanced faster
than our four-year men, said S. E.
Morehead, ’40, executive officer,
southwestern territory, Sears-Roe-
buck and Co.
“Junior colleges have failed to
sell industry on the utility of jun
ior college people,” Bassler said.
“Industry needs to make some
changes to fit junior college grad
uates properly into its organiza
tions.”
“We have training programs de
signed for high .school and college
graduates but none for junior col
lege graduates,” Morehead said.
Bassler and Morehead listed char
acter, native ability and enthusi
asm as qualities industry is look
ing for.
Rex Jackson, who substituted
for Dr. Gaston T. Gooch, read the
speech Gooch had prepared. He
said that junior colleges should
make more contacts in industry
and bring more industry represent
atives to the students. He felt that
junior colleges should offer a one-
year course for secretaries and
should offer evening courses for
business men wanting to further
their education.
“College professors and junior
college professors need to get to
gether to see if we are teaching
the same thing,” said Dr. O. J.
Curry, dean of the School of Bus
iness Administration at North
Texas State College. “Though
two colleges may have two similar
courses and may vise the ^same
textbook, the courses will vary
widely depending on the ability
and background of the professor.
We can’t tell just by looking at a
course in a catalog whether or not
to accept the credit when a student
transfers from a junior college to
a four-year college.”
Bassler estimated the average
starting salary for junior college
graduates to be between $250 and
$375 with the average around $325.
