Shown at the meeting w r as a
sample of a maroon blazer w’hich,
if adopted, would be worn by ci
vilian students at football games
or other appropriate college func
tions. 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. Students not having
seating caz-ds will be refused seat
ing in the proper sections in all
coming games.

CONFEREES^ CHALLENGED
Tourist Trade Is
Dwindling In State
UT Regents
Hear Appeal
For Integration
AUSTIN (A 5 ) — Another peti
tion urging total integration at the
University of Texas is to be put
before the Board of Regents at
their scheduled meeting today and
tomorrow.
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.”

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.

Xmas Seal
Chairman
Announced
Mx-s. 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.
