To the Ed ito rs:

As many ot yo u know, lhere have bt!en rumors circulat:lnj around the college about the Boosters taking a hard look at their supp0rt to the team to see lf the program is worth contin ljj ing. I would say on the average, most of the rumors are true. From what we hear, the Boosters feel that lhere isn't enougt, student interest for them Lo sujlt port w any longer.

I don' t believe lhl.s I know lhe students are interested In coming to basketbaU games amt olher college fu.nction.s A good example o( student Interest was the play, EXIT THE BODY-we bad one of lhe bi ggest turn-011'of all time for the play.

I believe a basketball team bol~ a college t.Qgether. A. basketball game shows colleg& school spirit an.d I believe w'l! are IL If the Boosters want to know i! we have school spirit and i,_ terest, let's show them.

We hllve called a special stu, dent bod,y meeting just so we can show our interest. The assembly will be held Nov 12 .fl 10:15 a. m in the gym.

Later assignments were in the Medicine Bow National Forest, Shoshone National Forest , Croa· tan National Forest, and. In July 1949, he was promoted to the position o! supervisor of the Texas National Forest.
