After more than two houre of deliberation. Miss Millie
Rowland, a sophomore from Mot Springs, Ark. was choaen.
And after the SMI’ Corps trip, no one will feel the selection
committee made an unw ise choice.
There were 11 girls however, who were not selected as
THE Aggie Sweetheart. But certainly they would make some
Aggie an extra special individual-type sweetheart as would
the other l»eauties seen on the TWU campus this weekend.
It seems only fair to the other girls that the men of
Aggieland do a little selecting on their own . . .
AUSTIN, Tax.— Mor« dunt is
bfin}( stirred up ovrr issues than
over candidates, in th« build-up
to th* General hlettion, Nov. 4.
Texans will vote on nine pro
posed amendments to the Con-
situation. One of them, providing
for annual sessions and salaries
in the LeKisiature, is the subject
of hot debate.
A condensed outline of the
amendments and arguments be
ing presented for and against
follow* t Numbers correspond
to the order in which amend
ments will appear on the ballot.)
1. Would provide for annual
Aessions of the Legislature, odd
year sessions would be devoted
t* aff matters, as before, and
and even year sessions would at
tend to budgeting and emergency
mutters. Legislators would re
ceive an annual salary of }?,500
(instead of $25 a day for a
120-day session) and an unspec
ified amount for “ex|>en*es of
office ”
P.RO: Supporters say annual
session* will allow more time for
consideration of important'mas
ters State financial fanning
could t»e done for one year at a
time No more having to “guess-
timatt" financial needs for two
years shead Better pay would be
a step toward attracting the
best qualified oerson* to lawmak
ing Such influential and hard
working groups as the Texas
Junior Chamber of Commerce are
pushing this amendment
CON: Kqually outspoken are
the opponent* who say it wsnild
cause needles* expense when
money is already short More
time in session means more
chances to spend money. Pro
posed salary atill is not enough
ko attract top-notch talent, but
“expenses of office" could open
the door to "fat-catting'’ with
public funds. Sen Lhvrsey Hai de
man of San Angelo is the rec-
ogixed spokesman for the "antis"
when include some other law
makers and other group*
2. Would allow countie* to
extend participation in their re
tirement, disability and death
compensation plans to elective of
ficials of the county and precinct
Present arrangement cover* only
appointive officials ami employ
ees of the couhty.
PRO; It is a permissive law
No county has to do it unless
the voters say so It would give
elective officials the same priv
ilege as appointees, tie an at-
atrction to office
CON; It sets no requirement
for length of service An official
might serve one term—or less—
and receive benefits
d. Would allow the County
Commissioners Court to fill va
cancies in the office of County
Judge and Justice* of the Peace
only until the next general elec
tion. Presently such appoint
ments are for the remainder of
the unexpired term, up to fou
years.
PRO: It would give voters th<
right to choose their own re
placement to office as soon ar
possible.
CON; Since campaign* are s<
costly, there would he less incen
tive to run for the office foi
only a two-year term

A graduate of Stephen F

a diversified high school career.
As a member of the track team,
he threw Uie shot put and hurled
the discus. He was president of
Bov's Forum, an organisation
which met and discussed prob

students. As president of this
oi gani/.ation he also led a career
guidance week, when outstand

on the advantages and disadvan

Bill wa* also vice president
of the A Capella Choir, was a
member of the National Honor
Society, and wa* a delegate to
the state Hi Y Yputh and Gov

to SCON A i
Being a local man, Bill was
under the influence of Aggie

says he liked the disclipinc of
the Corps and it was this rea
