Businessmen To Meet Here For Workshop

Financial executives from Texas business enterprises will meet April 26-27 at A&M University. The executives will hear national speak­ers discuss trends in fiscal mat­ters and meet in workshop and dis­cussion groups to consider varied problems and developments.

In session will be the eighteenth annual Financial Management Course sponsored by the School of Business Administration.

Attendance will be limited to 75 persons Dr. John E. Pearson said. He heads the school of business and also is an officer of the Con­ference Advisory Council.

“The main objective of this con­ference,” Pearson said, “is to spot­light the professional develop­ments, trends and problems in ac­counting and financial matters that enter to a highly significant degree in the successful management of any business.”

Nearly 100 firms have been re­presented through the years at earlier conferences. Known origi­nally as the Accounting Confer­ence, the program has gained in­creased support from business en­terprises.

E. M. White Jr., Tenneco Oil Co., Houston, serves as chairman of the Conference Advisory Council. P. W. Hillier Jr., of Price Water- house & Co., Dallas, is first vice chairman and Pearson is second vice chairman. A&M professor Walter S. Manning is council sec­retary. J. Gordon Peterson of Tex­as Aluminum Co., Rockwall, serves as chaplain.

A Latin American combo from Houston will provide the music. Tickets will be sold at the door at $3 per couple, and the public has been invited to attend. The Pan-American Club Sweetheart will be announced at the dance.

Activities resume Monday with films on Brazil and Mexico at 7:30 p.m. in the Assembly Room.

Some of the selections to be presented include “The Aztec World;” “Quetzal Birds of Pue­bla;” “Dance of the Little Old Men of Juaracaro;” “Birthday Song;” “Fiesta Veracruzana;” “La Bamba” and “Christmas in Jalisco.”

Several musical instruments used in the production will likely be unfamiliar to the audience. These include guitas, a Veracruz harp of unusual tone, conch shells and a village brass band group of mariachis from Jalisco.

The ballet has appeared four times on the Ed Sullivan Show, the latest time being three weeks ago. It has also headlined many other television shows and has made several world tours.

3 Incumbents Retain Commission Posts

By GERALD GARCIA Asst. News Editor

College Station’s three incum­bent candidates held on to their city commission posts in Tues­day’s election.

Re-elected to their positions were Mayor Pro-tem J. A. Orr, 560 W. Dexter; Robert R. Rhodes, 413 Walter Drive East; and A. L. Rosprim, 702 Eisenhower.

Orr outpolled Homer B. Adams, 205 Timber, in the Ward 1 race 173-151.

In the Ward 2 election, Rhodes had 152 of the votes cast to 123 for Charley V. Wootan of 1205 Walton Drive.

Rosprim beat Dr. Charles F. Hall, 511 Nagle, in Ward 3 race. Rosprim received 58 votes, while Hall had 57.

“This had to be the closest race we ever had, said Ran Bos­well, College Station City Man­ager.

“The 115 votes cast in Ward 3 has to be a record. I don’t re­call ever having such a fine turn­out in that Ward,” Boswell said.

The three winning candidates are in favor of the present plans calling for street, water and fire station improvements.

“I hope we continue with the plans on the street improve­ments,” Orr said.

“I believe that in about five years College Station will have streets to match any of the cities

in the state.”“Our plans are to continue on

the cash as we go basis. This way we will not have to have any bonds and we will not owe anybody anything when the street improvements are finished,” Orr added.

“I want our plans to continue on the street improvements,” Rhodes said.

“Our pay-as-you-go benefits everybody and I hope we go on with it,” he commented.

Rosprim also said he would like to continue with the “pay-as-you- go” plans on the street improve­ments.

“It was mighty, mighty close,” Rosprim said about his race with Hall. “It just couldn’t have been any closer.”

All candidates agreed that Col­lege Station would benefit by having all the water mains relaid and by building an elevated water tower as was recommended by Homer Hunter and Associates of Dallas.

“I will try to push the water improvement project,” Rhodes commented. “I would like to turn the project over to the people by thi summer.”

“Besides the street and water projects, the fire station situation should be placed under the coun­cil’s eye,” he said.

The candidates expressed

thanks to all who helped in their campaign.

“I sure was running against a good man and I could have not won alone,” Orr said.

“I just wish both of us could have won. Mir. Adams is a top notch candidate.”

City Manager Ran Boswell said
