' Oil field haulers have shown a continued interest in the course, and some fleets have sent super visors to several courses. Fitzpatrick also pointed out that new material is constantly being developed and offered. Courses slated for June, 27 will stress ac cident cost records, elaborately de signed to pinpoint causes by cost. Most of the newly developed ma terial was designed to meet the demands of the fleet supervisors who have attended previous cour ses. : ‘ preparation of the libretto. Hhaw InxiNtcd Hint the program and bills contain a frank apology for the unauthorised parody." Nevertheless the remedy and aperettajboak are strikingly sim ilar. When “The Chocolste Hol dier'' dialogue expounds the nntl- herolr theory of war, the words are practically Hhaw's. The best known song of the op- retta, “My Hero," conies direct ly from Hhaw. In the first |act of the piny Nndinn on henrtng her fiance had led the Bulgarian Cav alry in a victorious battle, gazes adoringly at his picture and with emotion too great to permit fur ther words reolineS on her bed and murmurs, “Myf hero, my hero.'* In the operetta, tne moment and feel ing are bridged With the song, "My Hero.’’ According to John Rosenfield, Dallas Morning News critic, “Still the bearded mein of George Ber nard Shaw haunts the pages and he can protest until he is red in the face. Also to his discomfiture is, (he fact that Straus did more than Shaw with a heroine rolling Vver on her bed ami muttering, “My hero, my hero.” Crossman - Payne Nuptials Announced Jerry M.\Crossman, sophomore physical education student from Houston was Wrried June 3 in the Holy Cross Episcopal Church, Houston, Texas. \ Mrs. Crossman, whq is employed in the Mechanical Engineering De partment, is the former MiKs Ruth Franklin Jim 'l !■ • I Aggie Combo Swings For ~v/_ W '■ il- Grove Dance By W.

The new organization on the campus, the combo distributes 7 males and a female around a pi ano, a trumpet, a bass, drums, and 4 saxes with harmonious effectiv- ness. Vocalizing by Herb Beadle, baritone sax man, is clear and straightforward, flavored with just a hint of that Billy Eckstein qui ver. Besides renditions of the popular standards such as “Again," “Care less Hands,” “Cruising Down the River," and “Tuxedo Junction,” the octette flows through a pleas ing version of the little known, at least to me, "On Green Dolphin Street.” Home is devoid of cor respondence as fur as the ballad's lyrics go, but the melody is wist fully enchanting — the rhythm quite danconbla. All In all, the Combo should not only provide ample entertainment, but may soothe the throhblm wound Inflicted by having to spen a week-end on the campus. 5 i 9 il l I be taught: h on the p "ambuht When thi the cou ent organ! have said.

COLVILLE A female—a genuine dyed-in-the- rayon woman writhed curvaciously with many a Girt and flutter into the shaving-lotion atmosphere of one of my classes a couple of weeks ago. I was half-way to her before I hit the end of my chain. Now that my ankle and pride have healed nicely, and I have summoned the sufficient will-pow er to curb these childish emotions, a more sound, if perhaps distant observation can be made of the some hundred-odd lasses that are perfuming our summer campus. For the benefit of those to whom “the word “woman” means but a rumored luxury of the misty outside world, an explanation is perhaps necessary to differentiate between them, and the grizzled knowledge-seeking males infesting A&M. , If you see a gentle nymph with the smiling color of a spring day and eyes as soft as A&&! water, floating toward you surrounded with an aura of faith and good will, go see a doc, pal, you’re nuts! But, on the other grubby little v ' <*•_ hand, If you are walking down the sidewalk and t sudden idneM grips you like the whispered words, “He offends," turn quickly around, lad, for a co-ed is probably skirt ing a thousand times your reach, with disdain in her.eye and dis trust in l^cr heart. Got any bi noculars ? i Now that we see where we stand, and approximately how far the women are standing, let’s diag nose this problem, if we have one. If there’s no problem, let’s talk about them anyway. I have yet to discover a better subject for useless and irrelevant discussion than women, bless their hearts. Dusting off the excess ashes from my best sack-cloth, I went forth upon the campus green to seek out the why and wherefore of these maidenly decorations. The first girl 1 attempted to approach sprinted away swiftly in the general direction of Bryan with shrieks of “Mother! Path- erl Police! KK’s! Gendarmes! Musketeers!", and numerous branches of the Army and Na vy, not 'ito apeak of a few arms of the law completely foreign V to me. Undaunted by thii didplay of shyness, 1 blustered Into my next victim, a girl in a suit of mail, nonchalantly flipping u marlin- spike in her well-manicured hand. “Why did you come to A&M". I asked simply, backing"out of ranae. “I’m learning to be a lady wrest ler,” she mouthed, lunging for ward and executing upon me a perfect flying mare. “I get lotsa opportunity to prac tice’’, she breathed through the tension of a hamraerlock with which she was, slowly strangling me. I choked out “calfrope" three times and we both got up and went our respective ways. Fortified with a thick applica tion of Ben-gay, and a few soothing throat discs, I approa ched a sweet blue-eyed bit of femininity that seemed friendly enough — came the Inevitable question. /“Why did you come to A&M?” This time I slipped behind the friendly sanction of a gnarled old tree nearbyj prepared to battle ’til the death this time. ii. “Boysl,” she answered in a mat* ■ . 1 f • / f \ V I \ ' / wd-l ter of fact tone. Unbelievingly, I stepped from behind the tree and wetl( closer, wetting my lips for the nex\ques tion. "What arc you taking?”, I ask ed, my faith in womankind rollir , back to me like a cue-ball witli english on it. “Animal Husbandry”, she chor- tied, frisking about like a new born colt ' “Why?’’, Tqueried, no longer in doubt as to what type of perfume she was wearing. t * “Cause I’m the only girl in the class.” she answered, be wildered by my stupidity. With the self-confidence of the proverbial hare, I cast the more scientific questions of my research to the windy quartette, and asked her bluntly for a date. “Fresh!”, she snarled, beating me briskly about the head and shoulders with her open palm. As I watched her stalk indig nantly away, I realized that ''my quest was a farce, as are all use less delvings Into the intricasies of the unpredictable feminine find, especially those In Aggtel&nd.
