Delegates Here
Will Name Top
Rural Minister
The Rural Minister of the Year
will be selected Thursday when
rural pastors meet at the Memerial
Student Center for the annual Tex
as Rural Church Conference.
Candidates for the award are
nominated by any group or in
dividual in Texas. The annual
award is based on the minister’s
work with his church and with his
community.
A tuition scholarship for a sum
mer workshop at Emory Universi
ty in Atlanta, Ga., is awarded the
winning minister. Rural minis
ters of the year from the other
Southern states will also attend the
workshop at Atlanta.
Sheriff J. B. Kline identified the
man as Ronald St. John, 19.
Sheriff Kline said he asked St.
John if he killed Jane Langdon,
21 year-old Texas Christian Uni
versity student.
THE SHERIFF said St. John
replied he had heard of the March
21 slaying and added, “I did not
do it.”
Galveston sheriff’s officers said
they found blood on St. John’s
shorts and shirt.
When he was asked if he had
worn the clothing to Galveston
from Arizona, he replied that he
had.
He explained later that he got
the blood on his clothing when he
cut a hook from a fish’s mouth
several nights ago.
ARRESTED WITH St. John was
Ralph Casey, 27, who said he
helped St. John escape from a
Phoenix mental hospital Feb. 27.
Casey told police that he had
helped St. John escape after St.
John had been confined three
years.
\ i I
\ f:
St. John was placed in the men
tal hospital after shooting two
Mexican workmen.
“You see, I’m suicidal. I shot
them because I was hoping they
would execute me,” St. John said.

UP 11 PER CENT FOR RESIDENTS
m
Statistics Show Cost Rise
In U.S.’s State Institutions^ 1
(Special to The Battalion)
WASHINGTON — Tuition and
fees for residents rose 11 per
cent at state universities and
land-grant institutions in the
past year, according to figures
compiled by the U. S. Office of
Education for the Joint Office
of Institutional Research.
During the same period, 1961-
62 to 1962-63, tuition and fees
for non-residents rose by 7.4 per
cent, room rates by 6.2 per cent
and board charges by 1.7 per
cent.
Using a national average for
these schools, a student who paid
$815 for his education at a state
university or land-grant institu
tion in his home state in 1961-62
is currently paying $860 for
room, board, tuition and fees.
The Office of Education’s com
parative study covered 90 insti
tutions. Forty-five raised their
tuition and fee for residents, 49
for non-residents. Room rate in
creases for women wex - e made
by 40 institutions and for men
by 43 institutions. Increases in
board charges occurred at 39
institutions for women and 42
for men.
Llano Men Win Pig Honors
James Epperson of Llano en
tered the wining pigs in A&M’s
1963 Litter Testing Program.
The announcement was made at
the 12th annual swine short course,
which ended Thursday.
T. D. Tanksley, Texas Agricul
tural Extension Service swine spe
cialist and short course chairman,
said Epperson’s Hampshire pigs
did the best job of weight gains
and producing the highest carcass
cut-out values of any of the pigs
entered in the contest.
SAM REBB, also of Llano, ac
cepted an engraved silver tray as
first prize for Epperson who was
unable to attend the short course.
Rabb and Epperson own the Hamp
shire boar which sired the winning
pigs.
Second place pigs in the contest
were entered by Buddy A. Winters
of Lubbock; theird place, M. F.
Deans of Vaco; fourth place, J.
B. L. Hancock of Weatherfoi’d; and
fifth, Charles Graff of Chillicothe.
They received engraved cigarette
lighters.
All the top pigs were Hamp-
shires, except Deans’ Yorkshires.
The awards, provided by Pay
master Mills, were presented by
Dr. R. E. Patterson, dean of the
School of Agriculture.
THE SHORT course was spon
sored by the Department of Animal
Husbandry and the Texas Swine
Breeders Association.
A featured speaker, Fred Hale
of the Department of Animal Hus
bandry, said researchers have
started to learn how to avoid poi
sonous effects of gossypol in cot
tonseed meal for swine rations.
So far, experiments have shown
that hogs can tolerate as much as
.01 per cent gossypol without bad
effects.
Hale said iron sulphate has been
found to block the action of gossy
pol at the rate of 400 parts per
million, or .04 per cent, of element
al iron in the ration.
The experiments are continuing
with results to be reported.
Median tuition and fees in
creases for all institutions sur
veyed were $30 for residents, $50
for non-residents. The median
increase for room and board
charges for men was $20, for
women $24, while board charges
averaged an $18 incx-ease for both
sexes.
For 75 institutions attended
predominantly by white students,
average tuition and fees for resi
dents rose from $263 in 1961-62
to $293 in 1962-63, average tui
tion and fees for non-residents
from $593 to $635, average room
rates from $240 to $251 and
average board chax-ges from $422
to $435.
For 15 institutions attended
predominantly by Negro stu
dents, residents’ tuition and fees
x’ose from $165 to $186 during
the period, non-resident tuition
and fees from $391 to $422, room
rates from $128 to $140 and
hoax’d chax-ges from $305 to $310.
Individual inci’eases rangej
fx-om under $10 to over $100.1
area most affected by increase

tutions raising charges uppe:
