This blazer could also be worn by members of the Corps in off campus activities where the uniform is not required. Efforts are now being made to determine the acceptance which the student body would give to such a jacket. A CSC committee was appointed to study the representation of ci vilian day students in student gov ernment. A temporary represen tative will be appointed by CSC president Doug Schwenk until the students can be organized and hold an election to select their choice to represent the civilian day stu dents on the the Civilian Student Council. The CSC has asked any students interested in helping with the or ganization or representation of ci vilian day students or who are interested in running for civilian day student representative contact William Brazeale, civilian counsel or on student affairs, in Puryear, ramp one. The CSC has also requested that civilian students pick up their foot ball seating cards at their coun selor’s office.

Leroy Sanders, acting president of the Students for Direct Action, a pro-integrationist campus group, said Chancellor Harry H. Ransom “has agreed to take the petition to the regents.” The petition, which drew more than 6,000 names, is not on the official regents agenda. It calls for immediate integration of all university athletics. Students for Direct Action sponsored the peti tion. Most of the names were ob tained during registration earlier this month. Classes at the university have been integrated since 1965. Regents’ committee meetings Friday are closed, but an open Saturday meeting will be held at which decisions reached and ac tion taken by the board are an nounced. “Texas tourist business is dwindling rapidly because we are not capitalizing on our national assets,” according to Tom H. Tay lor, director of travel and infor mation, Texas Highway Depart ment, in a challenge to conferees at the eleventh annual Texas In dustrial Development Conference this morning. Failure of the recent legislature to appropriate funds for advertis ing Texas in national tourist media is hurting the state in its constant competition for the tourist dollar, Taylor pointed out. The highway department offi cial presented his views this morn ing to some two hundi'ed conferees in a talk titled “Tourism—An In dustry Without Smokestacks.” Taylor described tourism as no “fly-by-night” source of income. He stated that the tourist is good for everybody because the money he brings into Texas is earned elsewhere. In addition, he said, out-of-state tourists are paying $17 million in direct state taxes with the prospect of more as a re sult of the new sales tax. He recommended that Texans take a new look at the tourist in dustry to raise it from thirteenth among Texas industries to the No. 1 source of income as it is in some states. Also heard this morning in the concluding session of the confer ence were Harold W. Williams, as sistant administrator, Office of Area Operations, US Department of Commerce, Washington, who outlined “The Federal Govern ment’s Role in Area Develop ment;” J. B. Thomas, chairman of the board, Texas Electric Service Company, Fort Worth, who pre sented “The Future Outlook for Industrialization in Texas,” and Thomas H. Perkins, industrial manager, Austin Chamber of Commerce, who spoke on “The Texas Industrial Development Council.” Predictions of a bright business outlook were advanced by Thomas, who believes that “industrial de velopment in Texas will continue in the next 10 years at a rate ex ceeding the rate of the entire United States.” He said business activity will continue its upward trend of the past 14 years, that bank debits will continue their healthy rise and that retail sales recovering from a scare in 1960 are on their way up again. According to Thomas, “We have the fundamental basic economy to justify our growing population and to furnish a market and many incentives for industrial growth in Texas.” The conference is conducted an nually by the Industrial Econom ics Division of the Texas Engi neering Experiment Station. This year’s theme was “Increasing the Effectiveness of Industrial Devel opment Activities.” RV Applications Available, Must Be In Next Week Applications for positions on this year’s Ross Volunteers will be available next week, Robert Timme, RV public information of ficer, has announced.

Educator Explains Schools’ Pressure The expectations and pressui’es on schools and on teachei’s are greater this year than ever be fore, a Texas State Teachex-s As sociation official told delegates to the District I, TSTA workshop hex’e Wednesday. Dx-. D. Richai'd Bowles of Aus tin, president of the TSTA, said the higher demands of schools and teachex-s have come as a result of x'ecent legislative action. He praised the action by the Texas legislature. “Only a state with sexious pui'- pose and a great dream for its children,” Bowles said, “and for its own future would have done this.” The Texas legislature in its spe cial session approved a number of school aid bills, including one that gave teachers an across the board $810 pay boost. This year, Bowles said, the state will chip in $68 million additional to local school districts above what the state would have contx’ibuted this year without the new legisla tion. His talk was the highlight of a woxkshop for 100 teachers in the northern section of District I, TSTA, held in the Memorial Stu dent Center. Workshop group discussion meetings were held following the banquet on numerous subjects re lating to the beginning of another TSTA year. Mrs. Haydon Sypex-t of Pasa dena was chairman of a gxoup meeting on responsibilities of lo cal unit presidents. Miss Floy Hewitt of Bryan presented tips to program chaixmen of the various teacher units. J. C. Rogers, superintendent of West Columbia schools, headed a gi’oup discussion on legislation and public relations, and Mrs. Christine Higginbotham of Hous ton lead a discussion of future teacher organization. Mrs. W. S. Welch of Navasota, Dr. Henry A. Jahnke of Houston and Fred Hunter of Beaumont headed a panel group on member ship. Dr. John W. McFarland, Hous ton superintendent of schools pre sided over the workshop. Bowles also told the teachers present that Texas educators “can do no less than our best this year —teach better than we’ve ever taught before, administer our schools better than we’ve ever ad- ministex’ed them befoxe.” The state TSTA official pre dicted the membership of the state organization will jump to 78,000 before the state convention con venes in Houston in mid-October. Bryan and College Station school districts and the Depart ment of Education and Psycholo gy hosted the workshop.

Hickman Garrett, Jr., 2000 Wayside Drive, Bryan, this week accepted the chaii’manship of the 1961 Christmas Seal Campaign, which will begin in November. In announcing Mrs. Garrett’s appointment Kexmit Snyder, pi’es- ident of the Brazos County Tuber-, culosis Association, said, “Under the dynamic leadership of Mrs. Garrett, the 55th annual Chi'ist- mas Seal Campaign will be one of which we can all be proud.” Following the announcement of her acceptance, Mrs. Gairett said, “We are starting- immediately to organize the annual Christmas Seal Campaign, which provides funds for the voluntax-y tubercu losis control program in our coun ty. I am sure the campaign will be a success because the people of this community are deeply con cerned about the tubex-culosis problem in this area. The funds they voluntarily, and in the privacy of their own homes, contribute for Chi'istmas Seals do much to help prevent JB and to bx-ing those who have it to the care of physicians, thus resxxlting in a x-emarkable saving of lives.” “The Bx-azos County TB Associ ation works constantly to protect us from this disease and to safe guard our children now and in the futux-e. Chi-istmas gives each of us an opportunity to support this program by contx-ibuting- for and making use of Chi’istmas Seals,” Mrs. Garrett said. The 55th annual Christmas Seal Campaign opens Nov. 13 and will run thx-ough December. The funds donated are us'ed to promote tu berculin tests in the schools, pro vide X-rays for needy TB patients and their family contacts, fui’nish rehabilitation services for TB pa tients, pay for TB medical x-e- search and sponsor wide-spread public health education.
