when the 1948 Txweco will be
presented by the editor, Johnnie
Elia, to the faculty member whom
the annual honors with the dedi-
cation this year.
This year's Txweco is going to
be entirely different," promises
the yearbook editor.
The second surprise will be the
annual's cover, which will l'emain
a secret until the presentation.
Favorites Named

The annual is almost finished
with the exception of information
to be turned in by secretaries of
campus organizations. Dope, sheets
should include the purpose and
general history of the organiza-
tion, with a list of social events
sponsored by that club during the
term. Johnnie asked that these
reports be turned in by the secra^
taries at thwe earliest possible
date.
lOrder of Events
"The purpose of the <wevv Txwe-
co is to pieture a history of the
student life during the school
year," explained Johnnie. "The
method of presenting this pano-
rama has been completely revolu-
tionized in comparison with past
issues of the anftual."'
O
Snapshots are . in chronological
order of the events they depict.
Snap pictures • will include Fresh-
man initiation and the social club
initiations, the formal opening of
school, Sadie Hawkins Day, cou-
ples page, Halloween Carnival,
Posture Contest, Future TWCites
<a page featuring the Wesieyan
Courts children), Girl's Only, The
Great Males and Odds and Ends.
Instead pf wearing formal attirs^
for the pictures, students receiv-
ing honors are portrayed in the
costumes they wore on the momen-
tous occasions. All major honors
such as Campus Sweetheart, Smile
Girl and May Queen received full
page portraits in this years an-
nual,
Group pictures of organizations
and individual class pictures are
double the size of last year's. Not
only are the major honorees pic-
tured, but there are pictui'es of all
the candidates for those honors.
Prof Encourages
Future Teachers
To Organize FT A
The recent school bond election
in Fort Worth will be of little
benefit to children of elementary
school age, unless more elemen-
tary ffeachers are trained to pre-
side over the new school rooms,
in the opinion of ^Prof. E. M.
Bowman, chairman of the Division
of Education at TWC
College students should recog-
nize teaching as a vocation com-
mensurate with others, said the
professor. He said that Future
Teachers of American clubs should
be in .most high schools and col-
leges, because of the interest they
would stimulate in the teaching
profession.
Out of the present TWC enroll-
ment, there should be at least 200
students who will become teachers,
it was estimated. If these students
want an FT A chapter, the' admin-
istration will gladly hel^J them
form it, said the professor.
Frosh Test

Dr. Gladys Bowman was admin-
istrator of the tests. She explain-
ed that she had been giving these
tests to freshmen,, in her classes
for the past five years.
"Profiles will be drawn for each
students for each test. Thesg pro-
files and personal histories will be
filed in a cumulative record," said
Mrs. Bowman.
Test results will be completed

ing from time to lime during this
semester.
Tests for sophomores, juniors
and seniors will be administered at
a as-yet-unannounced date.

SONUS?
State Rally
Of Veterans
In Prospect
More than 50 Texas colleges
and junior colleges have been in-
vited to send representatives to a
state bonus meeting to be held in
Austin during this month, it was
announced by Pat Maloney, chair-
man of the Veteran Affairs Com-
mittee at the University of Texas.
They will form a statewide or-
ganization known as "Operation
Bonus", sirrplar to the recent "Op-
eration Subsistence."
Maloney has asked schools send-
ing representatives to take a poll,
in order to have authorization for
their comments at the. meeting.
In a recent poll, conducted at
the University of Texas, by Dr.
John W. Stockton, 83 percent <?£•
the students favored the bonus. A
veterans bonus rally at the same
university, a week ago, was the
first move toward an expected
state-wide campaign.
State legislators, like Represen-
tative Roger Q. EVans, commander
of the VFW and sponsor of the
bonus bill, began organizing the
state drive.
John Earle, president of the vet-
erans' organization at TWC, has
pledged ><heir support to "Opera-
tion Bonus." A poll is now in
progress on the campus.

Amendment Is
Found Faulty
Petition Gives Cause
For Opposing Views
Opponents of a 'student consti-
tutional amendment, proposed last
week in a petition signed by 200
students, declared today that such
a measure was uncalled for.
It was asked that in the event
the faculty administrative com-
mittee vetoed a constitutional
amendment approved by the Stu-
dent Council, the proposal might
be returned to the student body
for a vote.
If a two-thirds majority favor-
ed the action, the proposed amend-
ment then would go to the college
president's desk, under the sug-
gested change.
No instances of vetoes by the
faculty administrative committee
were recalled and no reason was
given for submission of the change,
it was stated.
It also was pointed out that the
president already heads the facul-
ty administrative committee which
acts on all council - approved
amendments. *
Fear was expressed that a sharp
ciivtsion between the faculty and
students would result from the
proposed action.
The amendment proposal stem-
med from an open forum on stu-
dent politics, sponsored by the
Student Christian Association. A
number of other student organiza-
tions have gone on record as fav-
oring student government revis-
ions.
Aft,er action by the Counjeil, the
proposal will go to the faculty ad-
ministrative committee.
GUEST SPEAKER—Rev. Alon-
zo Monk 'Bryan of St. Louis,
Missouri, will be on the campus
for the annual Religious Empha-
sis Week to be held at TWC,
April 12 through April 16 —

Economics
To Expand
Next Year
Three new courses—"Money and
Banking," "Labor Relations" and
"Consumer Economics" — will be
offered in the economics depart-
ment in 1948-49, it was announced
by Mr. Joe C. Ashby, economies
instructor.
"Labor Relations' will be an ad-
vanced course dealing with the
history of the labor movement in
the world with particular empha-
sis oncJhe growth of the American
labor movement," said Mr. Ashby.
Emphasis also will be placed on
the,, present trends in collective
bargaining. '
"This course will deal with re-
cent labor legislation, particularly
the Wagner and Taft-Hartley la-
bor acts." It will concern labor's
side of the question. "Personal
economics will be the theme of
'Consumers Economics'," said the
economics profesor, "and it will
deal With the age for consumer
buying, and with learning to dis-
tinguish between facts and propa-
ganda in advertising."
"Money and Banking" will be a
six-hour course required o£ busi-
ness majors taking the finance
route. "Labor Relations" and
"Consumer Economics" are three-
hour Courses. Economics 321-322
is a prerequisite far^ the new
courses.
Still in the embryonic stage are
courses in "Contemporary Eco-
nomic Problems" and "Compara-
tive Economic Systems." No confi-
dence was expressed by Mr. Ashby
that thes6 courses would he offer-
ed next year.

The Texas Wesieyan Rams are
almost certain to be one of the
fodr teams in the NAIB (Texas
division) tournament at Will Rog-
ers Memorial Coliseum Friday and
Saturday nights, it was learned
from a reliable source just before

dent colleges in Texas. They in-
clude Sul Ross, St. Mary's of San
Antonio, St. Edward's of Austin,
TW To Use
Visual Aids
College Also Buys
Sound Equipment
Audio-visual training is the la-
test ..educational device beim^used
in classes here. \
An RCA projector for strip film
or slides recently was purchased
by the business office for $675,
along with a sound machine.
It is under the care of the Sci-
ence Department and is being used
in the teaching of ©teiflentary
science, although use of it may be
arranged by any other department.
"We are trying to keep pace
with the general trend iri^he use
of audio-visual training," remark-
ed Mr. Sam Braswell, business
manager.'
Vets To Get
Subsistence
Raise In May
Veterans at TWC may expect
subsistence checks at the increased
rate about May 1, Veterans Ad-
ministration officials a t Dallas
said today.
It was explained that while the
higher rates authorized by Con-
gress will be in effect after April
1, subsistence allowance checks are
not due until the end of the month
in which the veteran is training.
Tekas Wesieyan vets Owho are
entitled to $75 (no dependents) or
$105 (one dependent) will not have
to apply for the increases. The VA
requests these students not to
write as they have enough infor-
mation to make automatic in-
creases.
Those vets who are married and
have children or have dependent
parents have been asked by the
VA to file additional information
so that increases can be properly
given to them.
Veteran students entitled to
$120 a month because they have
more than one dependent will be
required to submit evidence of
their additional depeitofents before
the increased payments can be
matk^ For dependent children,
phoWstats or certified copies of
birth certificates will be necessary.
For dependent parents, evidence
of actual dependency imust be
submitted.
If veterans now training submit
evidence prior to July 1, 1948,
they will receive retroactive pay-
ments a^ the new rates back to
April, 1, .1948.
TW GIRL WRITES
FOREIGN PEN PAL
In answer to the Rambler's re-
quest for a pen pal for Winold
Vogt, a German youth, Dorothy
Pilkinton, Freshman resident of
Ann Hall, is going to-correspond
with him. ) \
Dorothy is interested in this hob-
by and has written to olher pen
pals.
Winold, 29, wrote to TWC and
asked for a pen pal becmjse he
wants to Improve his knowledge
of English and learn mare r,'o ul
our country.
East Texas Baptist, Daniel Baker
-and Texas A & I.
Already assured of one berth
in the tournament is Abilene
Christian, a team that T\VC de-
feated twice, <il-18 and 42-37,
during the regular season. ACC
w o n t h e Texas Conference
championship.
The second berth will go to the
Lone Star Conference champion.
Sam Houston State and East Tex-
as State currently are deadlocked.
If they finish in a tie, East Texas
probably will get the bid because
of a better season record.
Berth number three will go to
the Texas team finishing highest
in the Border Conference. West
Texas State, Texas Tech and Tex-
as Mines are waging a warm, bat-
tle for this spot.
The Rams, as mentioned pre-
viously, probably will draw the.
fourth berth.
Dub King, sports publicity direc-
tor at TWC and currently in Chi-
cago with the Texas Golden Gloves
team, said in a letter to a member
of The Rambler staff that he and
Gus Miller will work out final
details for the tournament on
Tuesday and Wednesday.
King said that he learned
from a Kansas City source that
s^gjj^as probably will qualify only
one teaim for the 1948 meet in
Kansas City. This means that
the only team which will win a
trip to Kansas City will be the
team that survives the two-
night tournament here this week.
A draw from a hat will deter-
mine first-round opponents. The
first team pulled from the hat will
play the s®ond team in the first
game on Friday1 night. The two
remaining teams will (meet in the
second game Friday night.
Friday night's winner will clash
on the same court Saturday night
for the right to go to Kansas City.
Friday's losers will meet Saturday
night for third place.
The Rams admittedly would
have some advantage on the
Coliseum court. However, ACC
has played there three times this
season and Texas Tech has play-
ed five games on the portable
court this season.
Lawrence Tech of Detroit and
defending champion Marshall Col-
lege of Huntington, West Virginia,
already have qualified for the Kan-
sas City meet>-^ ®'
"The meet at Fort Worth is the
fairest way of determining Texas'
representative at Kansas City,"
commented Doug Higgins of the
Rams. "If we can't win two games
on successive nights with the pres-
sure on . . . then we have no busi-
ness going to Kansas City."
TWC students will have a re-,
served section. However, they must
pay 75 cents. The school blanket
tax is not good for post-season
gfames.
INVALID COACH
IS CURIOSITY
OUTSIDE EATERY
All conveniences for the c5Ho-
mer?
When the new .Griddle ,No. 2
held its formal opening last week,
parked in front of the new drive-
in was a huge, shiny-black invalid
coach, complete with white pil-
lowcases. ,
Whether this was something
new ip jBUStomer convenience or
due to'coincidence, was not discov-
ered, but it frightened several peo-
ple from, sampling the free coffee
offered at the opening.
The new Polytechnic Griddle is
located at easy commuting dis-
tance from the campus. Just across
the- street on Vaughn, and across
from the TWC Coffee Shop!
