Ouachita to Curb Subsidy Program at Ouachita College
Ouachita College will end subsidies for football players as President S W Eubanks told the Arkansas Baptist convention executive committee. He said the program would cost about 45000 dollars in the 1949 50 season but added late start prevented full cancellation this year. Committee approved a 1016690 operating budget for the college, with 25000 added, and the convention will vote on the budget Wednesday. About 1200 Baptist reps from Kansas begin three days of meetings. Rev Theo T James of Mc Gehee was elected to a third term as president of the Baptist Pastors conference.
