Wesleyans Hear
Myers Wednesday
If a person is religious, he will
want to do his best at all times,
Coach Jim Myers told members of
the A&M Wesley Foundation last
night.
Myers, speaking on “Religion
and Athletics”, stated that his first
contact with religion and athletics
was when he played football for
the University of Tennessee. Be
fore each game the team recited
the Lord’s Prayer.
Throughout his coaching career
Myers noted that the men who
proved to be the best players were
devoted Christians. Many of the
men which he coached came from
broken homes and had turned to
religion for satisfaction.
Myers believes that religion be
longs every place and that it has
done a lot for the men he has
associated with. He illustrated
this by saying that he could count
on one hand the number of ath
letes who have been in trouble
in the past five years.
As a truly religious person, an
athlete who has given his all is
never dissatisfied with himself.
Great athletes are born—champ
ions are made, he said.
In answer to the question if he
thought coaches were worshipped
on campuses, he replied, “No.
People get too mad at him too
often to worship him.”
Afterward Myers and Wesley
members talked together infor
mally over refreshments prepared
by Mr. and Mrs. Kermit Snyder.

Consolidated Schools
Set Budget Hearing
$500,000 Budget
Up for Board’s OK
A&M Consolidated Independent School District Board of
Education members will hold an open meeting Monday night
on the proposed $490,806 budget for the 1958-59 school year.
The meeting will be held in the junior high school library
beginning at 7.
Purpose of the meeting is to discuss the budget and for
the board to give its approval to the new budget, according
to W. T. Riedel, A&M Consolidated Schools superintendent.
The new budget is almost $4,000 over last year’s $486,-
992 budget, but Riedel pointed out that the deactivation of
Bryan Air Force Base caused the school to lose about $6,500
in federal funds. He said increases of new property on the

‘Aloha Dance’
Draws 200;
Ends Summer
More than 200 dancers par
ticipated in the 1958 Summer
Dance Committee’s farewell
dance for the season, the
“Aloha Dance”, staged Tues
day night in the Memorial Student
Center.
All ladies attending the affair
were given free orchid corsages,
and special guests were given or
chid leis, all imported from Hawaii.
Decorations for the Hawaiian-
theme dance featured a large
greenery-surrounded pool, set in
the hall between the Assembly
Room and the Birch Room, and an
island-motif mural.
Dance chairman for the second
semester of the summer session
has been Ralph Smith. Ann Flem
ing has been in charge of decora
tions. Other members of the Sum
mer Dance Committee are Frosty
Gardner, Ellen Howell, Martha
Amis, Don Graham, Alice Zimmer
man, Ann Hite, Johnny Johnson,
Dorothy Berry, Pat Resley, James
Fallin, Ronald Ruth, Gus Giotes,
Jane Ann Krenitsky, Leroy Ber

the loss.
Changes by the Texas Edu
cation Commission in regard
to accounting practices w-ill
show the actual budget approved
to be less than the $490,806 figure,
Riedel said. He said the new plan
calls for allocation on the main
budget for only those sums over
actual income from such items as
transpdrtatoion (buses), athletics
and cafeteria operation. This will
reduce the figure of the main bud
get but the total budget will be
the new figure, he said.
The new budget calls for $19,998
for administration, $255,532 for
white instruction (including sup
plies and equipment) and $69,201
for Negro instruction (including
supplies and equipment).
Cafeteria expenses will be $32,-
000 and $16,455 for transportation.
Both figures are not figured under
the new system.
Operation and maintenance of
plant will draw $34,122. Insurance
and interest will cost $4,000, ath
letics will get $7,000 (figured under
the old system) and capital outlay
will get $1,500. Cost of debt ser
vice is $48,800.
Proposed receipts include $302,-
278 from state funds; $171,000
fi’om local funds; $9,000 from tui
tion, transportation and fees;
$8,000 from federal fupds (school
lunch program) and $333 from
county funds.
Riedel pointed out the budget is
tentative and subject to action by
the board.
Following the budget hearing
the board will hold a regular meet
ing with the main item being the
hiring of teachers.
Members of the board of educa
tion are J. R. Jackson, president;
Ernest Redman, vice president;
George Carrol, secretary; J. S.
Rogers; C. A. Bonnen; Milton Wil
liams; and Henry Allen.
These units were organized three
years and one year ago respective
ly, for boys without contracts who
wanted to be in the Corps.
These boys will be allowed to
stay in the Corps with authoriza
tion from the School of Military
Science. A screening board will
possibly be set up to eliminate
those boys they feel will not bene
fit the Corps, Wilkins said.
To remain in the Corps without
a contract after his sophomore
year, a boy will have to be ac
cepted by the School of Military
Science and then sign an agree
ment to abide by the Articles of
the Cadet Corps, he said. A boy
without a contract may hold rank
if he has the necessary qualifica
tions.
Uniform assistance will be fur
nished similar to that of the reg
ular corps, but may not be as
great, said Wilkins.
Other changes in the Corps will
be the reorganization of A Armor,
oi’ganization of another ordnance
company and the organization of
a medical company for students
taking preparatory medicine and
dentistry. A Civil Air Patrol unit
is to be organized if enough appli
cations for such a unit are re
ceived.
BellTransfered
To P. E. Faculty
Coach Jim Myers announced this
week the transfer of former head
baseball coach Beau Bell from his
former position to a full-time job
with the Department of Physical
Education effective Sept. 1.
Myers said the change was made
as he felt it was necessary for the
baseball coach to also help with
the freshman football team.
Bell declined the offer to coach
freshmen football in order to be
come a full-time instructor in the
Department of Physical Education,
said Myers. Bell had previously
been a part-time P.E. instructor.
Myers said Bell’s successor to be
named at a future date would be
someone who could fill both the
baseball coaching job and the foot
ball assistant’s spot.
“Coach Bell is a fine man and
my association with him has been
most pleasant,” said Myers.
Bell has coached the Aggie base-
ballers for the past several years,
winning the Southwest Conference
baseball title in 1955.
