concert was played during the
regular McMurry chapel period.
Outstanding event of the con-
cert was a cornet solo by Russell
Griep freshman member of the
band. He played "Napoli" com-
posed by Bellstcadt wnich is one
of the more difficult cornet solos
requiring a complete mastery of
the cornet range and a thorough
knowledge of triple tonguing.

Year's Operation
An anniversary is always an
exciting thing but when an awful
lot of labor without compensation
Is expended when you work Just
because you love what you're
doing then a great deal of satis-
faction is derived from it. That is
the case of radio personnel of sta-
tion KHSU.
The personnel have every right
to be proud of the job they have
done for a number of reasons. One
of the main ones is because it is
one of the few campus radio sta-
tions in Texas. Another is because
it represents a large number of
original ideas and a countless
number of working hours.
A year ago next Tuesday Janu-
ary 10 radio station KHSU began
broadcasting activities with a
dedication program which includ-
ed dedicatory speeches by H-SU
President Rupert N. Richardson
and Taylor Paul president of the
student body.
Staffed entirely by students
the station is managed by Bob
Todd Qf Abilene. Faculty advisor
and sponsor is Bruce Brooks ra-
dio coordinator.
During the year that KHSU has
been broadcasting a large variety
of programs have been presented.
National news service has been
available to the station through
syndicated wire service. Through
the station's remote control fa-
cilities special events and pro-
grams such as basketball games
chapel programs and band con-
certs have been carried. Last year
the H-SU Intercollegiate Rodeo
was aired directly from the arena.
Next week the station is plan-
ning a special anniversary pro-
gram. However plans are incom-
plete and will be announced if
and when they are completed.
Members of the KHSU staff
are: Merle Vaught traffic mana-
ger; Bob Todd station manager;
Jim Wilkes special events direc-
tor; Joe Clements chief announc-
er; Dick Collins sports director;
Ray Douglas program director;
Benton Berry chief engineer; H.
H. Hutto Jr.. continuity director;
Marcella Roagers music director;
John Sewell religious director;
Charlou Thomas women's direc-
tor; Frank Jones commercial
manager; Toy E. Henson engineer
in charge of repairs.
The Radio Club with Jimmy
Wilkes as president was organ-
ized shortly after KHSU went on
the air. In the near future the
club hopes to become a member
of the Alpha Epsilon Rho. nation-
al radio honorary fraternity.

Vets Debts To Gov't
To Be Deducted Froi
Special Ins. Dividenc
More than a half million ve
ans who owe the govern:
money as the result of ovcroal
ments on subsistence allowanc
or other veterans benefits or de
faults on loans Guaranteed bv the
Veterans Administration may find
an or part oi tneir snare oi the
forthcoming special dividend pay-
ment on National Service Life In-
surance deducted to cover their
debts VA said recently.
VA estimated that somewhere
between 20 and 30 million dollars
of such debts may be collected
from the NSLI dividends.
All of the individuals concern-
ed are aware of their indebtedness
to the kovernment and know that
it is dcductable from other VA
payments to which they may be
entitle the agency said.
Some 600000 veterans are cur-
rently indebted to VA for a total
of about 70 million dollars. The
bulk of this amount constitutes
overpayments on subsistence al-
lowances for veterans taking edu-
cational courses or training under
the GI Bill.
Other types of indebtedness are
overpayments on pension com-
pensation or readjustment allow-
ances and losses made good to
lenders on defaulted GI loans.
A considerable number of vet-
erans are now repaying indebted-
ness by having deductions from
their monthly checks. When the
overpayment is wiped out as it
may be by the dividend deduc-
tions there will be no further
monthly withholding.
