Dr. Donald G. Nugent, executive
director of the Texas Association
of School Boards, speaker at the
dinner session, gave high praise
to the workshop plan. He said
that the workshop is one of the
ffriest methods of coordinating the
factual data for the school indus
try. Nugent pointed out that de
spite the rise in the cost of main
taining state agencies—f u n d s
available are still inadequate to do
the kind of job which is needed
for the public schools.
Group discussions were held
throughout the afternoon, taking
up such matters as local school
problems, the board and the school
program, school-community rela
tions, school finance and legisla
tion for public education.
Dr. Wayne C. Hall, Dean of the
Graduate School, gave the wel
come address. The Singing Ca
dets furnished entertainment at
the dinner session.

YOUNG FARMERS MEET
Ag Still State’s Mainstay
Industrialization is moving for
ward in Texas but agriculture is
still the mainstay of the state’s
economy, said V. E. Schember, as
sistant director of the Texas Agri
cultural Experiment Station.
Schember, a speaker at the As
sociation of Young Farmers Field
Day held here Monday, said agri
culture is second only to the oil
industry in the state.
The association is an organiza
tion of young men interested in
agriculture. Members are o*ut of
high school but under 36 years of
age. Purpose is to keep members
informed on. measures affecting
the welfare of agriculture and to
promote, plan and improve farm
family living.
Receipts from agriculture,
something more than $2.3 billion
in 1959, were close to the receipts
from the sale of oil at $2.75 billion
and were greater, than the total
salaries and wages paid by Texas
manufacturers, Schember said.
“If you add to the receipts for
raw products, the income from sale
of equipment, supplies and services
to agriculture, the total for what
is called ‘agribusiness,’ ran over
$5 billion,” he told the group. “Ag
riculture is a prime importance to
every Texan—it can make the dif
ference between good times and
bad in this state.”
The assistant director outlined
the importance of research to ag
riculture and said that almost
everyone has a direct interest in
improvement of farm efficiency.
“Better foods and fibers at lower
cost affect our pocketbooks and
our standard of living,” he said.
“Through research in agriculture,

the United Nations in the Congo,
and a speedy conclusion of an ac
ceptable treaty for the banning of
nuclear tests would be construc
tive steps in this direction,” Ken
nedy said.
Kennedy said Khrushchev la
bors under “a serious misappre
hension” in conection with events
in Cuba.
More than 100,000 refuges have
fled Castro’s Red-tinged regime,
the President said, and many of
them had fought with Castro to
oust the dictatorship of Fulgencio
Batista. Castro toppled Batista on
New Year’s Day in 1959.
The President said the urgent
hope of refugees is to help fellow
Cubans in the struggle for free
dom.
Kennedy told Krushchev to rec
ognize that free people “do not
accept the claim of historical in
evitability for Communist revolu
tion.”
Rusk handed the message to
Menshikov in a State Department
meeting which lasted less than
five minutes.

Candidates Compete
For Contest Title
By TOMMY HOLBEIN
During the past week, various
industrious students on campus
have been actively soliciting en
dorsements for the coveted title
of “Ladies’ Man of the Campus”
as entries in the national “Ladies’
Man” contest.
The most enticing feature of
the contest is its prize: a date
with a movie starlet chosen from
a selection of 31 beauties by the
winning candidate. Included with
the date is a free holiday in Hol
lywood with star Jerry Lewis
footing the bill.
In conjunction with Lewis’ latest
movie release, “Ladies’ Man,” this
contest is being conducted on a
nation-wide basis, at the college
level.
Each campus is selecting its
“Ladies’ Man,” who will vie
against competitors in national
competition for the prize of a mo
vie starlet as date.
This is not the only prize avail
able; the national runner-up will
receive a set of Kroehler furniture,
which means winners will receive
“either an armful or a roomful”
according to Lewis, who will head
the panel of judges selecting win
ners. This contest was particular
ly appealing to Aggies for a num
ber of reasons, as was seen on
the applications filled out by en
trants. One of the required ques
tions was, “Why do you want a
date with Miss ?”
Reasons ranged far and wide;
one applicant claimed he had never
before had a date of any sort;
another said, “This is an all-boys’
school; need I say more?”
Most of the applicants were

States concept of “Aerospace Pow

his address.
doubly surprised after reading
about the contest, applying, and
then seeing the bevy of beauties
to pick from.
Pictures used for selections fea
tured all 31 starlets peering down
from balconies on three levels.
Most applicants had difficulty
making up their minds, and during
the past week a common sight was
to see four or five entrants seated
on the Student Publications front
office couch carefully pondering
over the pictures.
All applications have been ac
cepted and entries are closed; all
hopefuls are urged to remember
that lists of endorsements are to
be in by May 2 so that names may
be submitted for national competi
tion.
