rica for about 25 years. He be-
gan his collection when he realiz-
ed that much old music was
rapidly disappearing.
His sheet music dates back to
about 1800 and ranges from
serious to popular works both
instrumental and vocal. Not all
of it is American in origin.
Morrison has arranged the
sheet music into various group-
ings which include not only the
presidential music but also rag-
time Irving Berlin J. P. Sousa
war songs from Civil War and
War of 1812 on through the
world wars campaign songs and
songs dealing with communica-
tion and transportation.
"Some of the things are comi-
cal" Morrison said "and others
sometimes are rather grim. I
find music in out-of-the-way
places and get some from deal-
ers. The collection is more than
a hobby because it is related to
my job."
Morrison is also fortunate en-
ough to have a collection of ear-
ly American hymnody and psal-
mody dating from the seven-
teenth century. The earliest of
this group of books is dated
legislative proposals affecting
private schools.
Dr. Elwin L. Skiles president
informed the group of efforts of
the Texas Independent Colleges
and Universities Inc. of which
H-SU Abilene Christian and
McMurry colleges are members.
The organization is seeking to
make it possible for the state to
make grants to students who de-
sire to attend private schools.
Dr. Skiles said that private
schools in the state could handle
about 16000 more students than
enrolled. H-SU could handle up
to 2500 without any major
changes in personnel or facili-
ties he said.
With .assistance to individuals
who wish to attend schools such
as H-SU ACC and McMurry
Skiles said the financial prob-
lems in both the public and inde-
pendent sector of higher educa-
tion could be lessened.

which does not offer Advanced ROTC may enroll in the program at a neighboring
institution where such training is available. A six-week basic summer camp substi-
tutes for the first two years of the four-year program.

Coach Horton expressed confi-
dence that this will be the bestk
season
rected
at H-SU three years ago.'
Veterans are available at every
position and hitting power could
possibly become a Cowboy
trademark as the season gets
well under way.
"The shortage of pitchers is
our main problem" Horton said.
Tennis squad
among thinnest
in H-SU history
Coach Phil Tinsworth has one
of the thinnest tennis squads in
H-SU history and actually is
counting on only four players
this season.
So far in workouts the num-
ber one man seems to be Les
Blackburn junior from Dear-
field 111. He is being pushed
closely by John VanBuskirk
sophomore from Granite City.
111. Ranked third is Jerry Crane
junior from Carlsbad N.M. fol-
lowed by Wayne Starnes a
freshman also from Carlsbad.
MEN
HAVE TWO YEARS
"We have four capable starters
but when 'Wtfj hata two. double-
this weekend 'it ou'idljput Ma-
strain on our pitching staff."
Horton reminded that no ad-
mission is charged for Cowboy
games and urged students to at-
tend the games.
"We will play before some big
crowds on the road this year
and it will be good for the team
to have good home support."
Next week's schedule includes
a doubleheader Tuesday with
Dallas Baptist College on the
H-SU diamond a single game
Friday against Trinity Univer-
sity in San Antonio and a dou-
bleheader the next day at St.
