Since Sept. 14, 1945, the diffi
cult, thankless, but ever-interesting
job of campus security for the col

hands of one John Fred Hickman.
Coming to the college from the
Army in 1945, Hickman was im

newly-organized Campus Security
Office. Up until that time the re
sponsibility for security had been

1899, Hickman has followed the in
teresting life of law enforcement.
He began as a patrolman with the
State Highway Patrol. He was la

House Turns Down Plan For
State Spending Appropriations
AUSTIN (AP) — The House
turned down a plan Wednesday to
cut state spending appropriations
to one instead of two years.
The vote was 117-9.
The attempt, which has been
rumored for several weeks as an
economy. measure, came as the
House refused to approve the Sen
ate version of the appropriations
bill. It is 3014 million dollars cheap
er than the House bill HB210.
The joint committee from the
House and Senate will try now to
work out a compromise acceptable
to both houses before the May 12
adjournment date.
Rep. W. S. Heathly, Paducah, ap
propriations chairman, said the
one-year appropriation plan ad
vanced by Rep. Ben Lewis, Dallas,
wouldn’t work.
The Senate sent to its State Af
fairs Committee the House-approv
ed general tax bill HB727. It calls
for about 77 million dollars for
1960-61 compared to the estimated
150 million in ne t w income.
At a meeting this afternoon the
Senate State Affairs Committee de
cided to begin public hearings on
the tax bill, article by article, on
Monday. A schedule of hearings
will be announced tomorrow.
The House spent all morning on
a bill SB19 to prohibit the sale of
cars and trucks on Sunday. It was
approved 73-61 in a much amended
form that must be considered again
by the Senate. The amendments
cut out trucks, trailer and tractor
sales on Sunday, and would allow
all sales between 1:30 and 6 p.m.
It also, would exempt Seventh Day
Adventists, Buddhists, Mohamed-
ans, Jews, Hindus, Atheists and
Agnostics.

Gov. Price Daniel banded the
legislature three more emergency
requests for legislation.
He asked two legislative acts to
back up his signing the increased
truck load limit bill SB11 Monday
night. The measure raises the load
limit from 58,420 to 72,000 pounds.
Daniel asked that the state high
way commission be given strength
ened authority to set lower weight
limits on parts of the state high
way system which are not capable
of carrying present or future max
imum weights.
He asked increased appropria
tions to double the present number
of license and weight inspectors
who will be enforcing the new load
limit.
Earlier, he asked passage of a
law requiring the State Banking
Commissioner to approve purchase
of controlling interest in state
banks.
The Senate Constitutional
Amendments Committee recom
mended passage of a House ap
proved proposal HJR41 to limit
any one county to nine state rep
resentatives unless its population
is over 900,000.
The House Agriculture Commit

SB277 tightening milk import reg
ulations. The measure earlier was
passed in the Senate.

during World War II, served in
the military government division,
landing on D-Day with the 2nd
British Army. He subsequently
spent 22 months overseas before
being sent back to the United

came to A&M and took over the

security department had no cars
when he first took over. They la
ter rented one from a college car
pool.
The campus security force is
now comprised of 11 uniformed

a secretary. Hickman said that
his office has the resporisibility for
handling the traffic problems of a
city of from 15-20,000 population
