Latimer Decides
Against State Post
State Representative Truett
Latimer Abilene recently an-
nounced that he will not be a
candidate for the office and ad-
ded that he would announce his
decision later concerning any-
other political race he might en-
ter. It had been rumored that he
would seek the position of senator
for this senatorial district.
The H-SU Alumni Director's
statement follows:
"Because there are so many
prospective candidates for Place
1 and Place 2 State Legislature
here in Taylor County I wanted
them and other interested people
to know that I definitely will not
be a candidate for re-election to
the Lower House.
"I consider it a personal honor
to have represented this growing
county in the State Legislature
for the past five regular sessions.
I have at all times attempted to
do what I thought was the ma-
jority will of the people I rep-
resent. "The cooperation of the people
of this district has been excellent.
"At a later date I will an-
nounce my decision concerning
any political office I might seek."

Emery Holland
In Key Positions
Of Speech Meet
Two Hardin-Simmons Univer-
sity faculty members filled key
roles in the annual convention of
the Speech Association of Amer-
Lna in New York City Dec. 27-30.
Emogene Emery head of the
H-SU speech and drama depart-
ment and Dr. DeWitte T. Holland
professor of speech and director
of forensics were program chair-
men for two sections of the con-
vention. Miss Emery had charge of the
program for the preliminary
procedure interest group and also
was chairman for two business
sessions of that group. Highlight
of her program was the answer-
ing of difficult parliamentary

several noted theologians and
speech authorities.
Texaco Inc.
Awards H-SU
$1500 Grant
An unrestricted grant of
$1500 again has been received by
Hardin-Simons University from
Texaco Inc.
This is an annual gift which
Dr. Evan Allard Reiff H-SU pre-
sident assigns each year to the
university's program of individu-
al faculty grants for specialized
study and self-improvement.
The grant received recently
was from Texaco's aid-do-education
program for privately
financed colleges and universi-
ties. The firm's support of higher
education is based on the belief
that an investment in America's
youth and the continued well-being
of its colleges and universi-
ties is an investment in the fu-
ture of welfare of the economy
and the country Texaco officials
said.
Dr. Reiff said similar gifts have
been received annually for seve-
ral years from Texaco. On assi-
gning the funds to the program
in which the university has been
aiding faculty members to furth-
er post-graduate and in some ca-
ses post-doctoral study the H-SU
president said he feels that "this
is one of the most profitable in-
vestments in the future strength
of our faculty that we have
made."
