H-S U Is Voted Into Border Conference
BULLETIN NEEDS
FINANCIAL HELP
Pay Your Dues Now
With.the closing of the Ex-Stu-
dent's fiscal year on May 31, officials
are anxious to edit a better Bulletin.
We feel that there is sufficient ap-
preciation on the part of the Ex-
Students throughout the world to
warrant continuing the monthly pub-
lication carrying news of exes and
their doings and things of interest
which happen from day to day on the
campus. We are anxious to see more
Ex-Students pay their dues of $1 per
year to take care of a greater por-.
tion of this mounting expense.
Since the last issue of the Bulle-
tin the following exes have sent their
dues: Inez Baker '38, 213 No. Mont-
clair, Dallas; Mrs. Richard Wicklund
(Opal Roberts '28), Mineral Wells;
R. L. Young '01, Abilene; W. J. Mc-
Daniel '31, E. Chattanooga, Tenn.;
Clyde Crawford '38, Corpus Christi;
and W. E. Neill '97, Van Horn.

Corpus Christi Exes
Meet New Prexy
On May 1, Dr. White met with ap-
proximately 30 exes and friends of
H-SU in Corpus Christi, Texas. Chig
Burnam '33, president of the Gulf
Coast Exes Club, presided at the
meeting. High point was a short
address by Dr. White, in which he ex-
pressed appreciation for the fine re-
ception which exes everywhere had
accorded him. An appeal was also
made for closer cooperation with
Hardin-Simmons, especially during
the great semi-centennial memorial
drive.
An incomplete list included: Mr.
and Mrs. Edwin Burnam '33 (Helen
Anthony '34); Dr. and Mrs. Lee E.
Blackwood '31 (Doris Powell '35); Mr.
and Mrs. Clyde Crawford '38 (Nan
Painter '39); Mr. and Mrs. A. Ray
Sims '28, of Robstown; Emogene
North '33; 0. M. (Red) Moore '27, of
Sinton; and Mr. and Mrs. Pliny Ar-
mnour '27 of Port Lavaca. In addi-
tion to this list, several pastors of
Baptist churches in the region met
with the group. Dr. White represent-
ed the University, and Harry H.
Hayes represented the exes.

At the annual Cowgirl Banquet
which was held at the Hilton Hotel
on May 1, Dorothy Jean Shaw '42,
was elected president, Mur Hudson
'42, vice-president, Virginia East '43,
secretary, Ada Ruth Mullins '42,
treasurer, and Harriet Murray '43,
reporter. The Cowgirls have just
completed a highly successful year
which was highlighted by several in-
teresting trips. Without a doubt this
organization is one of the most color-
ful groups in any college in the
United States.TEXAS TECH AND
WEST TEXAS STATE
ADDED TO GROUP
Another milestone in athletic his-
tory was added this week when mem-
bers of the Border Conference, meet-
ing in Tucson, Ariz., voted to extend
membership to the Hardin-Simmons
University Cowboys. University of-
ficials present at the conference im-
mediately accepted the invitation, and
basketball games were scheduled by
Athletic Manager Gib Sandefer for
the coming season.
Hardin-Simmons will be eligible for
the conference championship in foot-
ball this year as games have already
been scheduled with Texas Tech, Col-
lege of Mines, Arizona State of Tem-
pe, and West Texas State. Colleges
which have comprised the Border
Conference have been noted for hav-
ing good football teams. University
officials feel that this conference was
the most logical group in the south-
west to join. The entrance of H-SU
into a conference will benefit its ath-
letic program. Track, tennis, and
other field sports previously lacked
the necessary incentive for student
participation. Coaches Woodson and
Smith have indicated, however, that
they plan to participate in all con-
ference activities beginning with the
fall semester.
H-SU GRADUATE
CLUB TO MEET
The Graduate Club, composed of all
men and women who -have obtained
Master of Arts degrees or any type of
honorary degrees from Hardin-Sim-
mons University, will have its sec-
ond meeting at the home of Dr. and
Mrs. W. R. White on Saturday morn-
ing, May 31, at $:30. All who are
members and all who qualify for
membership are cordially invited to
attend this informal meeting.
Mrs. Marie Harrison (Marie Daw-
kins, M. A. '39) is very anxious to
have a good representation in order
to install 1941 graduates into the or-
ganization in a proper manner. Mem-
bers of the club reside all over the
world, so there is an amount of pres-
tige connected with membership in
the organization. If you plan to at-
tend this "get-together" coffee at the
president's home, contact Mrs. Har-
rison, Mrs. Gib Sandefer (Inez Wood-
ward, M. A. '39), or the Ex-Student
offices immediately.
Several H-SU students are finding
employment at the army camp, which
is situated south of Abilene proper.
This camp has helped several young
men and young women find employ-
ment in the city.

Riley Brooks '42 has been elected
as student prexy for the coming year.
Brooks is a Cowboy Band member.Class Competition Has
Netted $2,534.56 to Date
With a total of 29 classes compet-
ing in the Memorial Building Contest,
the total amount which has been re-
ceived in cash by the business offices
now amounts to $2,534.56. This
figure does not include gifts from
anyone who has not attended H-SU.
One of the gifts this month came
from Miss Florence A. Price, who
taught expression in Simmons Col-
lege. The gift, $50, was obtained
through Mrs. Gentry Holmes (Ethel
Scott '16) of Abilene. Miss Price re-
sides on Route No. 2, Stone Moun-
tain, Ga. Any exes who had classes
with Miss Price are requested to write
to her.
Please bear in mind that only ac-
tual gifts are counted in this contest.
If you have made a pledge, and as
yet have not paid it, then your class
will not receive credit. Also remem-
ber, all gifts, whether great or small,
are receipted and you should receive
a receipt from our business offices.
If you have made a gift and as yet
have received no word from it, we
shall appreciate a card from you. We
are anxious to give each class all the
credit due it. The class of '21 is
carrying' off honors of being the most
loyal class to their alma mater. We
have a great cause to give to. We
need a new building as a memorial
to our late Prexy Sandefer. Send
your gift, whether great or small, to
Mrs. E. M. Landers, Dr.'W. R. White,
or to the Ex-Student offices. This
is the first time you have been called
on as classes to come to the aid of
your old school, so why not give all
you can--now!
