THREE NEW REGENTS
You will not find so much in future
issues of The Herald about the University
of Texas Board of Regents. It may be that
The Herald Editor has written too much
during the past 10 years, but an editor
writes about many things that come under
3iis observation.
Governor Allan Shivers Thursday morn-
ing, Feb. 10, announced the appointment
of Mrs. Charles K. Devall of Kilgore, J.
Lee Johnson III of Fort Worth and Dr.
Merton Minter of San Antonio as successors
for Mrs. Margaret Tobin of San Antonio,
Dudley K. Woodward, Jr., of Dallas and
this writer.
In a telegram that morning giving the
appointments, Gov. Shivers wired The
Herald Editor: “I certainly appreciate the
fine service you have rendered as a member
of the Board. The people of West Texas
owe you a debt of gratitude."
Tuition once was higher, but it was re-
duced because of the depression 20 years
ago.
It costs far more to operate schools and
government and it is logical for the state
to charge more for its services.
Any college executives opposing such
increases indicate they do not have suf-
ficient business ability to head higher in-
stitutions of learning.
Texas is faced with prospects for con-
tinued increases, in enrollment. It is well
that families benefiting directly by having
students enrolled should pay moderate
tuition fees.
Some will say that an increase of 100
per cent is too much, but it is evident that
the original cost has been much too small
for many years.
Let’s back up the legislature in this
program. If private schools can get $200
on up for students, surely state schools
should be able to get a small percentage
of the fees others can collect.
VETERANS LAND SCANDAL
The Texas veterans land scandal, which
resulted in the resignation of Bascom Giles,
commissioner of the general land commis-
sion, Jan. 1 ,1955, the date he was to be
sworn in for his tenth successive term,
continues to be the center of investigations
in Austin.
The Herald Editor served the past four
years on the Board for Oil and Gas Leases
of the University of Texas. On that board
The Herald Editor served with Giles and
another Regent. Serving in 1*951-53 was
A. M. G. Swenson of Stamford and from
1953-55 was Lee Lockwood, representing
the University. Lockwood continues as a
Board member.
Mrs. Devall is active with the Kilgore
News-Herald ,of which her husband is
publisher. She is a long time friend. The
Herald Editor was vice-president of the
Texas Press Association while her husband
was president and succeeded him in that
office.
The two other new Regents are sons-in-
laws of distinguished Texas newspaper
publishers. J. Lee Johnson, III, is a son-in-
law of Amon G. Carter, publisher of the
Port Worth Star-Telegram. Johnson is pres-
ident of the Cicero Smith Lumber Co. and
the son of J. Lee Johnson, Jr., president of
the First National Bank.
The other new Regent, Dr. Merton
Minter, is a past president of the Texas
Medical Association and is a son-in-law of
Prank G. Huntress, publisher of the Saft
Antonio Express and Daily News. As the
medical program for the University is de-
veloping into important activities, it is well
to have another medical doctor on the
Board.
As one new Regent is active in the news-
paper business and two others must be
conscious of its importance to the Univer-
sity, the new members should be most
helpful in promoting good public relations.
The Herald Editor served with Regents
appointed by many governors. Excluding
present company, of course, every single
one has been tops as a friend and as a
^>mcei e worker in behalf of the University.
HIGHER TUITION FEES
Rep. J. O. Gillham of Brownfield wants
to raise the cost of tuition from $25 to $50
a semester, but is said that some presidents
of state colleges are opposed to such leg-
islation.
The University puts up oil leases for
auction usually twice a year. The Herald
Editor has made many inquiries iii recent
weeks and finds nothing that would tie
in the University’s auctions with any vet-
erans land deals.
This writer has been worried consider-
ably about the .veterans land deals, as it
would have been a reflection upon the two
University Board of Lease members to have
had any connections that would indicate
collusion in the auctions.
You will be surprised how quickly yc
forget detailed information. The Hera]
received a story from the high school gi
mg information about the White De<
basketball tournament.
Even the high school reporters did n<
have the exact score on the finals in tf
boys game between McLean and Gruve
That caused The Herald to make a nun
ber of calls. It was surprising how mar
persons remembered only that McLean wc
and could not give the score.
McLean boys defeated Panhandle in th
tournament. Several scores were reporte
for this game, but The Herald Editor hs
accepted one from the Panhandle baske
ball coach.
. _ By the way, The Herald Editor was £
that game Saturday night. He thought th
high school reporters would have the ir
formation and didn’t write down the scor<
1 here would have been no trouble in learr
mg the score, if The Herald Editor ha
made a note.
It may be well that people cannot re
member details too long. Otherwise, th
mmd would be cluttered with too muc
useless details.

While Panhandle fans roared
with pleasure, the Pantherettes
deftly shot down Memphis girls
in the opening battle of the dis-
trict tournament Thursday night,

Grade Teams Lose
To Claude Squads
The Kittens, previously unde-
feated in conference play, took
a 19 to 10 loss from a hot-Claude
team here last Tuesday afternoon,
Feb. 8. The girls’ team, paced by
Vaneese Osborne with 6 points,
of 29 free throws helped the
Pantherettes lead in the second
quarter. The Pantherettes cautious
ly worked up a 24 to 12-lead but,
saw it fade into a 36 to 31 half-
time score. They earned 18 free
throws and 9 field goals to their
opponents’ll free throws and 10
field goals.
Kay netted 20 points in the
third quarter, hitting her hook
and jump shots from apy spot on
the floor. End of the quarter score
was 60 to 39.
Substitutes dotted the line-up
in the fourth quarter and were
furiously swapping baskets with
the Memphis girls at the buzzer.
The crowd was in a tumult.
Playing three quarters, Kay
scored .43 points, sinking 2 0 of
21 free throws, while Zelda hook-
ed 11 from the left side of the
bucket and Georgette Rohan dump-
ed 15 from the right.
Harrison netted - 20 for the
losers.
dropped their game by a score
of 34 to 10. High point scorer
for Claude was Logston with 14
points.
The Kittens were suffering from
the loss of two of their starting
line-up, Harley Hager and Jimmy
Richards. They were replaced by
Joe Wagoner and Larry Foster.
High point men for* Panhandle
were Buster Simpson and Jerry
Beard, each had 4 points.
Thurman Richardson, the boy’s
coach, said that another game
was scheduled yesterday with
Groom. —Bob Craig.

From where! sit... Joe Marsh
Swiffy Gets
Slowed Down
Swifty Fisher has a short
temper and really hit the roof
when he got a parking ticket
last week. He wasn’t near a hy-
drant or too far from the curb.
There was a big sign saying “One
Hour Parking” and he’d only
been gone twenty minutes.
Running to Traffic Court, where
Hack Miller was on duty, Swifty
hollered how he hadn’t done any-
thing wrong... how he is the most
law-abiding driver-in town.
But Hack examined the ticket,
and smiled. “Slow down, friend,”
he said. “You’re not guilty—ex-
cept of making a big fuss over
nothing. This ticket came from
some kid’s policemctnplay outfit!”
From where I sit, jumping to
conclusions can make anyone ap-
pear silly. Another way to look
foolish is to make a quick deci-
sion on a question of personal
preference. For instance, I like a
glass of beer occasionally. You
may be a buttermilk man. But
neither of us ought to “lay down,
the law” about the other’s choice.

B»*:lf by the world’s greatest builder of V-8’s
Ford has built more V-8 engines than all other manufacturers
combined ... over 14,000,000! And this tremendous V-8 experi-
ence has enabled Ford in ’55 to turn out in. quantity the finest
V-8’s in the low-price field. So why wait? You can get a proved
Ford V-8 . . . and start enjoying its brilliant new performance,
and new-car dependability right now!
Enjoy Ford's new
Trigger-Torque Power
For ’55, Ford offers the brilliant-per-
forming new Y-block V-8 and the even
more powerful Y-block Special V-8. Both
deliver Trigger-Torque, power, which
means you get the power you want when
you want it, throughout the entire driving
range of your car. With new Trigger-
Torque Power you can have split-second
s’aits . . . faster passing ability for a
greater feeling of security . . . topnotch
response at all speeds. And with Ford’s
high-compression, low-friction design and
deep-block construction, you can enjoy
smooth performance and long engine life.
Relax in the smooth comfort
of new Angle-Poised Ride
Ball-Joint Front Suspension, which
Ford introduced in its field last year, has
proved itself over billions of miles. For
’55 it is still better. Springs are set at an
angle to absorb shock from the front as
well as straight up. This provides delicate
responsiveness to cushion tiny bumps as
well as husky “muscle” to flatten big bumps.
Take your pick from 16
brilliant new Ford Models
This year, you get Thunderbird-inspired
styling in any Ford you choose. And
there’s a variety of excitingly new single
and two-tone body colors with charmingly
color-keyed Luxury Lounge Interiors.
