Fall Students in Part-Time Positions
School of Music
Gives New Course
The H-SU School of Music is
offering a new two hour course
in American music this semester.
It is designed to give the Ameri-
can music students a background
of the past and a philosophy of
music of the future according to
Thurman Morrison teacher of the
course.
The class will attempt to make
a comparison between the Ameri-
can spirit and European ideals in
music and at the same time trace
the influence of European music
upon that of America. Church
music music of the Puritan and
Mark Twain eras Gershwin Co-
hen and jazz idioms in American
music will be studied.
Morrison hopes that the class
can exploit music from local areas
and look into the history of West
Texas music from the days of the
Spanish Missionaries to the pres-
ent day activities in the home
school church theater and screen.
This is the first time this type
of course has been presented in
H-SU. Many schools over the
country arc offering studies in
American music because of the
reawakening interest in our
American heritage Morrison said.

During the past semester an
estimated 135 students have been
placed in part-time jobs by the
11-&U employment Bureau ac-
cording to Bob Baker student job
placer. The Bureau located in the
Office of Representative has al-
ready placed two-thirds of it's
applicants in various part-time
jobs.
Baker states that 85 per cent
of these students work during the
afternoon or at night while the
remaining 15 per cent work in the
morning hours. Bob points out
that veteran's wives are welcome
to put applications for full-time
jobs which he now has available.
Students who still have appli-
cations in from last semester are
requested to notify the office of
any change in class schedules.
Bob also points out that ACC
has about 400 job applicants and
M c M u r r y approximately 350
which explains the reason why
jobs arc hard to find and wages
so low. The Bureau has placed
girls in such jobs as receptionists
stenographers bookkeepers and
waitresses.
Men have been placed as sta
tion attendants office helpers
soda jerks waiters bank clerks
and as laborers.
Sounding a note of encourage-
ment Bob stated that with the
coming of warm weather new
job prospects are expected to de-
velop. Anson Club Holds

Intercollegiate Rodeo Associa-

meeting Tuesday night.

Reid and James Mickler Pat Mc-

Presentation of the Brand
Beauty and Beast elected in after-chapel
voting Thursday is to
be during the half-time period of
the Cowboy-New Mexico Aggie
basketball game Monday night.
Winston Moore Brand feature
editor is to be master of cere-
monies. Included in the ceremony will
bo the entrance of the Beauty and
the Beast from opposite sides of
the court the Valentine parade
and the running commentary by
Moore.
The election of a campus Beau-
ty and Beast is an annual affair
which has become a part of the
Hardin-Simmons tradition. The
idea was inaugurated with the
election off an annual Beauty
but the Brand staff of 1937 de-
cided something was missing; that
was when the Beastly nart of the
tradition was added. The election
has been an important event in
the Valentine season each year
since then.
Beauties and Beasts since 1937
have been Billio Gimbell and Bill
McKinney Grace Elizabeth Routh
and Rupert Richardson Jr. Nell
Gee and Long John Treadaway
Beunice Ratliff and Howard
Bridges Joyce Canon and Claude
Allen Kitty Bateman and Ray-
mond Troutman Norma Collins
and Herman Raphelt and Char-
lcne Fry and Bill Braselton.
Candidates this year were: for
Beauty Durelle Stokes Barbara
Davis Paula Jean Terry Elaine
Justice Shirley Price Margie
Barnes Bobbye Whitworth Mary
Plyler Helen Burroughs Wanda
Baker Tommie Williams Kitty
Ritter; for Beast Nolan Harvey
Hugh Higgins Leon Cooper Dan-
ny Hale Tom Adams Doc West
Ed Petty Richard Collins Pete
Golson Beau Champagne and
Manuel Orphanos.
reached 2110. Of this number
1929 were resident students. Late
registrants who will probably be
enrolling for several days will
bring this semester's enrollment
figure higher. Total registration
will in all probability compare
favorably with that of the fall
semester according to Lee.
