Cases of others who seek to secure
this aid are pendin.
Having nao.o 10 provision for the
education of graduate students
within the state, to conform with
the supreme court decision in the
Gaines case, it is said that very
likely Texas will make additional
preparation for graduate and pro-
fessional work within her borders
during the next session of the state
legislature.
A committee on scholarship aid
to Negro residents of Texas attend
ing graduate and professional
schools formed a policy for deter
mining the eligibility of applicants
for the scholarships. To be eligible
one must be resident of Texas
for more than eight years.
Fol graduate study, the applicant
must hold a bachelors degree from
an institution approved by the
Southern Association of Colleges
and Secondary Schools or an equi
valent agency.
However, IOI professional study,
the student need only to meet the
requirements of such professional
school study. A few fields of
study that are considered profess
sional do not require college work
in preparation. Preference will be
given to college graduates, if select
ion is necessary.
Application blanks, supplied by
the committee, must be filed with
complete transcripts of all college
or university work done. Grants for
work toward a masters degree will
not be made in fields in which such
work is provided for at Prairie
View college, and are tentative un-
til student submits an official
statement of his entrance into the
chosen institution.
Students are required to carry a
normal schedule, and may accept
scholarships or employment from
the institution they attend, without
reduction OF the grant. However, if
duties incident to accepting the
scholarship or work from the
school prevent students from sue
ceSsfully carrying their normal sche-
duIe, such may not be accepted.
After any report period, a grant
may be terminated if the commits
sion feels that the student is not
succeeding III his studies.

RIGHT FOOD FOR

BY CHARLOTTE SPENCER

Sandwiches for school lunches,
for working mems lunches, for
lunches at home-a large percent
age of American housewives must
make some kind of sandwiches
every day. What kind of sand
wiches should these housewives
make?
Since sandwiches form sub
stantial item on any lunch of which
they are a part, they should be
nourishing as well as appetizing,
varied and filling.
The kind of bread determines to
a large extent how nourishing the
sandwiches will be. Rye, whole
wheat, cracked wheat, oatmeal,
Boston brown bread, nut bread,
yellow corn bread, raisin, or the
new enriched white bread all pro-
vide more vitamins and minerals
than the old fashioned devitamin-
lied white bread. Variety Of bread

also makes more interesting lunch
es and prevents the family from
firing of sandwiches.
Most housewives use some kind
of a spread on the bread before the
sandwich filling. Butter heads the
list of acceptable spreads, or a mar
garine made with added vitamins
may be substituted. Mayonnaise
and salad dressings are not as de-
sirable since they do not provide so
much of the needed yitamins.
For a sandwich filler choose one
meat or meat substitute. Cold
sliced meat of any kind, ground
leftover meat mixed with chopped
onion and salad dressing, ground
liver, cream cottage or cheddar
cheese, chopped hard cooked or
scrambled eggs-all of these pro-
vide good quality protein.
After the housewife has provided
some protein rich sandwich, she
has a wide variety of other good
and healthful sandwich filters.
Peanut butter sandwiches can be
varied in a number of ways. If
your family likes peanut butter try
mixing it with grated carrots.
ground raisins, chopped prunes,
apricots or chopped cabbage.
Baked beans can be made into
several appetizing sandwich filters
by the addition of such things as
chopped onion, chopped celery or
chilli sauce.
