class in addition to regular college
classes. Although the assignments
may be on any grade level, most
teachers are expected to teach in
high schools, relieving some pub-
lic school teachers with extra class-
es.
Many of the El Paso School tea-
chers are trained at the College,
creating a bond between the two
school systems.
The plan, according to College
president Dr. Joseph Ray, is “one
of the most promising ideas I have
heard in a long time. We at the
college are intrigued by the possi-
bilities of it."

Trophy To Promote
School Spirit At TWC
Delta Chi Fraternity will donate
a trophy to the College, which in
turn will present it to the College
organization doing most to pro-
mote school spirit.
The trophy will be known as the
Delta Chi Award, and will be pre-
sented yearly on Honors Day, ac-
cording to Don LeBrecht, president
of Delta Chi.
“No point system will be used
in determining the winner of this
trophy," LeBrecht said, “and I
want to emphasize that both Greek
.nd non-Greek groups are eligi-
ble to win it.”
Winner each year will be chosen
by school officials. If any organ-
ization wins the trophy three con-
secutive years it gains permanent
possession of it and a new trophy
will be donated by Delta Chi.

Dr. Ray said that one reason for
the increased budget recommenda-
tion is that “we have grown at
the right time.”
"Our total enrollment jumped
this year to more than 4,100 and
more important for determining
our budget, the number of full-

Dr. Joseph M. Ray will officially become the sixth president
of Texas Western College when he is installed during special
ceremonies Friday afternoon.
Texas University Chancellor, Dr. Logan Wilson, will pre-
side at the informal installation ceremony and luncheon which
will be held in the SUB Ballroom from 12 to 1:30 p. m.
Dr. Ray will be installed by Mer-
ton M. Minter, chairman of the
Board of Regents of the Univer-
sity of Texas.
Dr. Ray said, “I am pleased that
the Board of Regents is following
this method of observing my instal-
lation rather than the more usual,
formal convocation.”
“I consider it a privilege and
high honor to serve as president
of so splendid an institution as
Texas Western,” he declared.
His address at the luncheon will
deal with the position of the pre-
sident in a state college. ,
Other members of the Board of
Regents who will be present in-
clude A. G. McNeese Jr., Houston;
Wales Madden, Amarillo; W. W.
Heath. Austin; Joe Thompson, Dal-
las; J. P. Bryan, Freeport; J. Lee
Johnson, III, Fort Worth; Mrs.
Charles Devall, Kilgore; Thornton
Hardie, El Paso, and Betty Anne
Thedford.
Faculty and staff members of
Texas Western and administrative
School superintendent H. E.
Charles said, “We hope to gain a
great deal from this and we think
the college will, too. It is a step
toward better understanding and
cooperation between us.”
Advantages offered by the pro-
i gram were listed by representa-
lege. It is to bring about:
1. Increased understanding be-
tween the faculties of the public
schools and the College.
2. More and better research into
teaching methods.
3. The introduction into the
Sc hools of some new ways of hand-
ling some old problems.
4. Better teacher training at the
college.
5. Public school students would
meet college teachers, and per-
haps would give more thought to
their own college educations.
officials from the University in
Austin and from the branches in
Galveston, Dallas and Houston will
also attend the informal ceremony.
All classes will be dismissed
from 12 to 2 p. m. Friday in order
that faculty members may attend
the affair, according to Mrs. Fran-
ces S. Stevens, administrative as-
sistant to Dr. Ray.
Dr. Ray, 52, came to Texas West-
ern this summer from Amarillo
College where he had been presi-
dent for three years. He has also
held posts in North Texas State
College in Denton, the University
of Alabama and the University of
Maryland.
At North Texas State he was as-
sociate professor of government for
five years. He was a political sci-
ence professor and assistant direc-
tor of the Bureau of Public Ad-
ministration at the University of
Alabama. At the University of
Maryland, he was dean of the col-
lege of special and continuation
studies and head of the Depart-
ment of Government and Politics.
Born in Bowling Green, Ky., the
successor to Dr. Joseph R. Smiley
was graduated cum laude from
Louisville Male High School in
1925.
He holds three degrees from the

The Silver Spade trophy was
back at the College this week
after being "borrowed” by a
pair of light-fingered Univer-
sity of Arizona students during
their recent school trip to El
Paso.
Bob Gordon and Joel Gil-
bert, UA Rally Committee
members, noticed the trophy
in its case in the SUB before
the TWC-UA game and slipped
it out of the unlocked case.
The stolen trophy was dis-
played during the UA home-
coming parade the following
week, while a large picture of
the two spade-lifters with the
UA student body president ap-
peared on the front page of
the Wildcat, UA paper.
The Silver Spade is the trav-
eling football trophy kept by
the winner of the New Mex-
ico State-TWC game each year.
The spade will be presented to
NMSU student officials at a
TW-NMSU basketball game
since the Aggies won the tra-
ditional game last Saturday.

campus for their candidates.
Rosa Lee Holder won the re-
served parking space next to the
SUB offered in a Campus Chest
raffle. The drawing was held Mon-
day during a Sardonyx meeting,
with Sharon Street drawing the
winning ticket.
A total of $294 was donated in
the Miss Campus Chest and Ug-
liest Man drives.
The funds collected in the Cam-
pus Chest campaign will be given
to the United Fund.
TW Salaries
May Increase
€ Because of a sharp jump in
TWC’s enrollment, the Texas Com-
mission on Higher Education has
recommended that funds for teach-
ing salaries at the College be in-
creased by $737,370 for the next
| biennium.
According to Dr. Joseph M. Ray,
the staff of the Texas Commission
on Higher Education has recom-
mended thte largest proportionate
budget increase of any college in
the state for TWC.
The $1,870,326 recommendation is
an increase of 35.7 per cent over
present appropriations.
The TWC president attended the
meeting of the commission last
