East Nolner Wedding Held
In Tulia Sunday February 13
Miss Virginia East daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Ed East of Amarlllo
and formerly of Hereford and Der-
wood Nollner son of Mr. and Mrs.
W. P. Nollner of Abilene were mar-
ried Sunday February 13 in Tulia
in the home of Rev. H. E. East
brother of the bride who read the
double ring ceremony.
The wedding vows were said be-
fore a mantle with an arch covered
with carnations and fern with tall
baskets of snapdragons and glad-
ioluus on cither side.
The bride given In marriage by
her father wore a light blue suit
with a lynx fur collar with brown
and light pink accessories. She car-
ried a white orchid topped Bible
which was borrowed from Mrs. Les-
ter Morton the former Nita Field-
er who attended Hardin-Slmmons.
For something old she wore a cameo
belonging to her mother.
The bride's only attendant was
her sister-in-law Mrs. H. E. East
who was dressedin gold with black
accessories. Her flowers were tallcs-
man roses. Elizabeth. Ann East
niece of the bride was flower girl
and carried nosegays of swectpeas
and rosebuds. Dale Puckett a for-
mer H-SU student was best man.
The wedding music Lcibcrtsarum
by Liszt and the traditional wedding
marches was played by Wayne
Evans. DcAlva McAlistcr sang
"The Rosary" and "Because." Both
are former students of Hardln-Sim-mons.
Other former students at-
tending the wedding were Mrs.
Wayne Evans and Mrs. Dale
Puckett.
A three tiered wedding cake
topped by a miniature bride and
groom was cut by Mr. and Mrs.
Nollner at the reception. Flowers
were arranged around the cake and
tall candles were at each end of the
Stop Look and
Spring's just around the corncy
and here wo arc with the war ra-
tioning and shortage of man power
it's enough to lower any gal's
morale. But there are still those
days when HE will be home that
we gotta look pretty for and what
girl doesn't want to catch a second
glimpse when she walks down the
street any street. So spring here
we come.
By now those shoe ration stamps
have probably been spent so start
looking the non-ration ones over.
There are some really attractive
styles in the store windows. Of
course they won't last as long as last
year's shoes and they'll need extra
care but that's just another one of
those things.
With warm weather coming on the
hose situation will be better. Those
lucky girls with a nice tan will go
bare-legged and those without it
will have leg make-up. (For good-
ness sake tho' get it on mooth).
Take extra specially good care of
thoc white summer dresses you have.
There'll be very few on the market
this year because bleaches are
needed by Uncle Sam.
"Make your own" would be a
good motto to take on. Nearly ev-
ery fashion magazine shows how to
make hats and bags. Try them.
Plenty of spring hats are going to be
nothing more than a wide ribbon
across the head with a cluster of
flowers over the ear. And what

Bob Foley Writes
Mother put the November issue of
the Bulletin in which some things
she sent me and was the 1st news
I have had of H-SU since last sum-
mer. I scanned every inch of the
Bulletin and only once did I find
any mention of exes who are serv-
ing in the Marine Corps. After all
I think some mention ought to be
made of the Marines since they are
successfully waging the bloodiest
half of our nation's war. I got a let-
ter quite unexpected last week from
Lt. Kenneth Whitescarver
U.S.M.C.R. who is training his pla-
toon at Camp Joseph Pendleton in
California. He was formerly sta-
tioned "here at Quantlco at the same
time Stormy Davis and Bud Van-
deever were. Charlie Pond had
been here just previous to that.
They all received their commissions
here and attended the Reserve Of-
ficers' Class before being assigned
to further duty. I am almost
through with R. O. C. now. Joe
Stribbling of the '42-43 Cowboys is
in my class as is Jack Cooper '43.
George Watson '43 is also here and
is due to receive his commission
sometime soon. Other H-SU exes
including Grady Sanders Glen
Neil Harold Scafcldt Al Milch Jim
Callam and others are due to arrive
soon from boot camp at Parris Is-
land S. C to attend officers can-
didate class of the Marine Corps
School here also. Oh there are a
lot more H-SU exes in the Marine
Corps both as officers and enlisted
men. Many are on the South Pa
cific Islands where it's hard to hear
from them. As soon as I get my new
assignment and get located I'll send
my address to you. Then is when
I'll really look forward to the Bul-
letin every month. Give my best
regards to everyone there
BOB FOLEY.
Note: Bob Foley has since received
his commission as a lieutenant and
was here last week-end.
In a recent letter Pvt. Robert L.
Osborn former member of the Cow-
boy Band wrote: "We fight in our
field to the best of our ability
against the maiming and destruction
of our fighting men because we feel
we should not ask anyone else to do
for us what we would not be willing
to do ourselves." Pvt. Osborn is
married and is the father of a ten-
months old son James Carroll.
Lt. B. Fred Wright returned re-
cently to the McCloskey general
hospital Temple for assignment.
Lt. Wright has been on sick leave
since he was sent back to the States
from North Africa to receive treat-
ment for malaria.
Mrs. Bert Don Miller (Margaret
Alexander) is now living with her
parents in Abilene for the duration
coming here from Topeka Kansas
where her husband Lt. Miller has
been living but is now overseas.
Lt. Malcolm L. Pye has been over
seas since September '43 as a com
munications officer in the Army Air

tering service in June 1943. He re-
ceived his basic training at Boca
Raton Flu. and his commission at
Yale Dec. 16.
Dorothy Richie Writes
The strains of 'Hardin-Slmmons
hall to thee' have faded Into the
background for 'Anchors Away' but
lt still means more to me than any-
thing else. Since I finished my
training and probably for the dura-
tion I am stationed in the Navy De-
partment here. The work is very
interesting and I wouldn't give any-
thing for Joining the WAVES. Oc-
casionally I run into an ex up here
and almost every one has heard of
Hardin-Slmmons cither through the
football team or the Cowboy Band.
Best of luck to you and to Simmons!

ues of the railroads. Freight rate
equality means paying the same
rate for equal haul on the same
article throughout and within all
territories of the United States."
The fourth question put to Ban-
deen had to do with facts relative
to equality and uniformity of freight
rates and the general level of the
rates in our territory as compared
with other territories of the nation.
He explained that in the five-
major freight rate zones the level
of rates varies from 100 to 160 that
of our territory.
Naming the zones and rates he
said "the answer is that our con-
sumers pay 606 per cent more freight
rates for equal haul than the con-
sumers in the east and north and
at the same time suffer under our
distant disadvantages."
Ribble said the railroads contend
that this is not important for the
reason that class rates do not move
the majority of tonnage and for
the further reason that higher class
rates are offset by lower commodity
and special rates.
In answer Bandccn said class rates
are highly important because they
move nearly all the consumers
goods which means manufactured
goods. Therefore they control the
industrial development possibilities
of Abilene and West Texas which
are highly important in post war
planning.
"Even if it were true that our
higher class rates arc offset by low-
er commodity rates the argument is
most fallacious for the reason that it
would be little comfort to the man
who might want to make tires here
to be told that his class rate handi-
cap on tires is offset by lower com-
modity rates. However it is not
true that we have lower commodity
rates when compared with other
sections."
As the railroads contend that their
operating costs are greater down
here due to less traffic and tonnage
Bandeen was asked to explain why
higher rates are not justifiable here.
He maintained that it cost less to
build a railroad here and there is
little terminal cost. He cited a
study made by Dr. M. O. Lorcnz
of the ICC which showed on a load
ed car basis in the Southwest costs
of 90.6 per cent against the official
zone cost of 100 per cent.
"In view of constitutional and
statutory provisions for equally why
hasn't the ICC long ago corrected
this situation" Ribble quorrled.
First Bandeen said is that the
people have not demanded a change.
Too the law had not made the
public and the consumer parties to
the freight rate-making procedure
but instead had left the matter en-
tirely with the shippers carriers and
the commission. Thirdly the law
does not require the ICC to review
all rates before publication.
As to what is being done now
to remedy the situation Bandeen
said "our West Texas Chamber of
Commerce if not having initiated
was at least in the foreground of the
movement to knock out the zone
system of rate making and of secur-
ing freight rate equality. It was in
1937 that we ceased to work on re-
lationships existing between near
areas of Texas and started to worry
about the rate relationship of terri-
tory a sa whole with other compet-
ing territories throughout the na-
tion. "We published the manual Dis-
criminatory Freight Rates in West
Texas and the Remedy and at about
tho same time the Tennessee Valley
Authority published the report In-
terterritorial Freight Rate Problems
of the United States. As a result
of these activities and publicity
arising the Democratic platform of
1940 has in it a freight rate equality
jplank.

University Church
Votes to Remodel
A church remodeling program
voted unanimously by University
Baptists Feb. 9 is already under-
way. Under tho first floor of the
auditorium building will be com-
pletely rebuilt a new terrazzo floor
will be laid and 14 new Sunday
school classrooms will be redone.
A modern church kitchen will be
built In the basement and facilities
for taking care of 500 people at
banquets will be provided.
A church parlor In memory of
the late Mrs. C. M. Howell will be
included in this Improvement plan
and this parlor will be furnished by
a special fund provided by Mrs.
Howell at her death.
The educational building and the
church building will be connected on
the first floor and stairways will
be erected between the buildings so
that one may enter the church au-
ditorium or young people's depart-
ment from these first floor ap-
proaches. When the rebuilding has been
completed all of the adult work of
the church will be shifted to this
first floor and adequate classroom
space is being provided for two mod-
ern adult departments. New rest
rooms drinking fountains and space
for games and recreation arc includ-
ed in this remodeling program. A
large amount of the money to com-
plete this project has already been
given. It is the hope of the church
that this work will be completed by
April 28 when the brotherhood of
the church will entertain with their
annual ladies' night program.
The remodeling work is being
done now to care for n banquet and
several meals which will be served
the students attending the State
Baptist Student convention which
will be held at University Baptist
church Oct. 27-29.
The cradle roll and primary de-
partment will be moved from the
first floor of the church building
to the first floor of the educational
building thereby providing more
adequate facilities for these small
children. This is possibly the most
important building project whicn
the church has undertaken jsince
the erection of the educational build-
ing a number of years ago said
the pastor the Rev. W. O. Vaught
Jr.

Here's What Was Happening
Just for old times sake let's take
a look in the '43 Brand files and sec
what was happening at Hardin-Slmmons
one year ago.
In the February 20 issue we sec
that the headlines heralded the ap-
proach of the musical revue "Doodle
Dandy of the U. S. A." This was
announced as a comedy "which ran
to capacity crowds on Broadway and
was said to bo the "talc of the Four
Freedoms."
In the way of local talent the
H-SU Players Club was polishing up
a version of "You Can't Take It
With Yqu." Under the direction of
Mrs. Nora E. Evcrton acting head
of the speech department the cast
included Dorthca Dunlap Van Wiley
Williams Mary Nell Waller J. D.
Alexander Margaret and Margie
Sears James Robbins Buddy Tom-
linson Helen McLeod Frances
White and Ed Stewart.
Dean L. Q. Campbell acting dean
of liberal arts and sciences since
1939 had just been named dean by
action of the board of trustees. Ten
naval cadets had just arrived on the
campus to take Naval pro-cadet
training as a part of Uncle Sam's
CAA war program. Dr. Collins had
recently announced that numerous
war courses were to be given in the
'43 summer school.
Hardin-Slmmons had won first
places in a speech tournament at
A. C. C. The two winners were
Harlan Shaw and Elizabeth Grubb
both in the poetry division. Mrs.
Evcrton had received a commending
writeup in a state magazine in re-
gard to the Players fall production
"Room Service." Band Director
Merle Evans had turned in his resig-
nation to return to the circus in New
York.
On the sports side tho Cowboys
"broke even in the first game of
the border conference." "Hardin-
Simmons Cowboys lost their initial
game of the 1943 Border conference
tournament at Albuquerque Wed-
nesday night to Texas College of
Mines by the overwhelming score
of 85-44 but bounced back in the
championship race Thursday win-
ning their second game from Ari-
zona State of Flagstaff 47-44. In
the sports column written by Sports
Editor Sherwyn McNair lt was pre-
dicted that sports writers would
have to write about women's sports
and print long feature articles about
sports heroes and events of the
past in order to fill their space in
the days to come. The Intramural
basketball race was coming to a
speech finish with the Bootleggers
favored to win the title.
Groover had just been elected
"Beast" and the student council was
making plans to hold elections to
provide for constitutional amend-
ments. The "So They Say" ques-
tion was "How may Hardin-Sim-mons
students show their coopera-
tion in the war effort?" Helen
Cope was chosen for the Sketch Pad
and Council Comments was written
by Proxy Bill Tippen.
And as for the "most read"
column the Strays; some of the fol-
lowing items were included:
"Song titles:
"I'll Never Smile Again" Betty
White.
"If You Are But a Dream" Hcr-
bie Faye Johnston.
"I Got It Bad" E. M. Reynolds.
"Don't Get Around Much More"

In spite of tho fact that we
haven't had a student council meet-
ing for nearly two weeks and have
not made many plans for a campus
social the council has been think-
ing over various ideas for a function
to bo hold in the near future.
We have been thinking about
having an "all-student" day here on
the campus. Wo will give each
student an opportunity to participate
in this activity. The administra-
tion has already pledged its support
for this occasion for which we are
very grateful. Several plans will
need to be made in order to keep
it wholesome and on the best level
for the good of all the students.
It has been a delight and a very
unusual privilege to have several of
our ex-students back on the campus
to visit. Among some of the service
men we got to sec are Eddie
Sprinkle a mid-shipman in the
Navy and one of the best linemen
we've ever had on our Cowboy foot-
ball team.
Also we were glad to see Lt. Hall
Bond and Lt. Huie Lamb. Hall is
the son of Dr. W. D. Bond English
professor. Also here this week was
Haskell Range a medical student
in Tulane University. He was for-
merly Bronco photographer.
Durwood Nollner and his wife
the former "Pinky" East have been
among the visitors lately and in case
you might have wondered about
their shyness just remember that
they were married only a few days
ago.
