Bulletin: Hardin-Simmons University Ex-Student Roundup, August 1941 Page: 3

                                
NEWS IN BRIEF
Sometime during the first week of
August, a three-day campaign will be
held in Dallas among the exes in be-
half of the Semi-Centennial Memorial
campaign. A breakfast will be held
at the Baker Hotel and President W.
R. -White will be present. A later
meeting in Wichita Falls is scheduled.
Marilyn Sandefer '43 of Brecken-
ridge was elected summer queen in a
close election. Runner-up was Betty
McIntosh '42 of Abilene.
The day before- the last group of
soldiers was scheduled to leave Abi-
lene found more than 175 houses,
apartments, and rooms for    rent.
There should be no acute shortage
here for parents who wish to move to
Abilene.
A division of the Cowboy Band, to-
gether'with six white horses and the
six flags of Texas made a trip to New
Orleans for the International Lions
Convention. The band won a contest
sponsored by the convention for the
most novel group of entertainers at-
tending.
Wings Over Jordan, famed Negro
choir that hag become nationally fa-
mous through their radio broadcasts,
were presented as a summer artist
attraction, June 27th. The choir per-
formed in the football stadium before
a large and appreciative audience.
The Cowboy Band performed at the
Stamford Cowboy Reunion, July 3-4-5
to complete its third consecutive year
as official band for that organization.
The VanderCook Band School will
again be sponsored by the university.
Dates are August 18-30. Students
participating in this school who are
high school graduates can count this
instruction as part of their college
work. All indications show that we
are to have the greatest school yet
held by this excellent staff from the
VanderCook School in Chicago.
NYA   apportionment for colleges
and universities has been lowered this
year. The university is trying to help
as many deserving students as possi-
ble, but at that, there are many ap-
plications which will have to be set
aside for further consideration.
Both sessions of summer school
were well attended. The large in-
crease that was expected more than
likely can be found in army camps
throughout the nation.
The administration is happy to an-
nounce-that Smith Hall, once known
as G. I. H., has been converted back
to its original purpose-a cooperative
dormitory for girls. An approximate
one hundred choice girls will obtain
board anil room in this dormitory for
$15 a month plus an approximate one
hour's work each day. Since the de-
pression, Smith Hall has been used
as a dormitory to house athletes> but
our steadily increasing enrollment has
made it imperative that this good dor-

mitory be converted back to its orig-
inal use. Hundreds of former G. I. H.
girls will be happy to hear of this
change.
