Pre-Theos Assist
Downtown Church
Junior and senior pre-theologi-
cal students began assisting in the
liturgy at the morning services of
Emanuel’s Lutheran Church last
Sunday, March 17.
At their meeting March 11, the
Pre-Theological Society members
decided that such service would
help the Pre-theos acquire experi-
ence in church work and give them
a greater appreciation of the wor-
ship service.
Guest speaker at the meeting,
which was held in the Chapel, was
Pastor Watson of the Seguin Wes-
ley Chapel Methodist Church. He
spoke on the Methodist church, its
history, organization, government,
and problems, as well as the part
of the Negro Methodists in its
program.

shop’s sister; Sandra Matthews,
the servant girl; and William Hen-
ze, the sheriff.
Student director, “Buddy” Ku-
bena, reported, “I have tried to
put some new faces in the cast,
and I believe I have been very
successful. I would like to thank
all who tried out. The TLC thea-
ter can only grow when we all
work together. I hope to see more
students at future play tryouts.”

lege training at Dana College, a

tween junior and senior college

Grafting On Campus
Agricultural students have been
putting their knowledge to practi-
cal use by grafting and budding
pecan trees on the campus and
by participating in a livestock
judging contest.
The budding and grafting is a
means of growing desirable pecans
on trees that formerly produced
small ones. It is also a means of
producing several varieties on one
tree.
The judging team, Dale Men-
gers, Charles Voight, Edwin Gau,
and alternate, Teddy Schwarz,
participated, but did not place, in
the recent inter-collegiate live-
stock judging contest which was

will also take part in the Lantana
Court parade through downtown
Kingsville Saturday morning.

the King Ranch, and the coro-
nation ball in the ballroom of the
A&I student union building.

ized baseball band, made their

1.5 GRADE AVERAGE
TO BE PREREQUISITE
FOR AUTO OWNERS
By unanimous decision of the
president’s cabinet, freshman dor-
mitory students, with the exception
of veterans, will not be permitted
to have cars on the campus until
after they have posted a 1.5 grade
average during the first semester.
After a study of the relative
academic abilities and of the se-
mester grades of both men and
women freshman students, the
cabinet formed this regulation as
an encouragement and an induce-
ment to study.
Students will be permitted to
bring cars after they have posted
a 1.5 grade average. The ruling
will go into effect next fall.
The fifteen-member band, com-
posed of a clarinet, a piccolo, and
brass instruments, is headed by
an executive committee of William
Henze, Sam Harper, Ed
bring, and Alfred Ewald.
The theme will be divided into
four major topics: A Christian
Student Looks to Christ In His
Vocational Choice; In His Study;
In His Recreation; and In His
Worship and Prayer.
Dr. Wiederaenders will address
the Brazoria-Wharton-Matagorda
chapter; he will be accompanied
by Coach George Kieffer and sev-
eral music students from TLC who
will provide entertainment.
Special 40-minute convocation
periods will be held, with Rev.
Svendsen speaking on Wednesday
and Friday mornings, and Miss
Norgstad on Thursday.
