Singing Cadets Boast Proud History Page 8 College Station, Texas Wednesday, August 30, 1972 THE BAHAI The Singing Cadets of Texas A&M University were organized and officially named in 1938. Under the chosen leadership of Joseph Woolket, Professor of Modern Languages, the Singing Cadets made a start toward be coming one of the best known male collegiate choral groups in the southwest. During Professor Woolket’s tenure (1938-41) the Cadet Sing ers began touring to various Texas cities presenting programs of varied musical interest. Dr. T. O. Walton, A&M President at that time, made several trips with the group. President Wal ton persuaded Mr. Woolket to organize the group originally. The Aggie’s favorite movie “We’ve Never Been Licked” was also produced during those years in which the Singing Cadets not only appeared, but also provided much of the recorded background music for the film. The first professionally trained conductor of the Singing Cadets was Richard Jenkins who was hired by the College in 1942. The organization’s size fluctu ated a great deal during those early years. When Mr. Woolket began, he had 33 students work ing under his direction. The larg est group on record numbered 210. Early during Mr. Jenkin’s stay, the Cadets entered the National Fred Waring Glee Club Contest. Although they did not win first place, they received praise for being the only entry from a school not having a music de partment. Late in 1945, Dr. William Turn er came to take the helm of the organization. Dr. Turner did much to further the reputation of the Singing Cadets during his fifteen year tenure at A&M. In 1960, Dr. Turner moved to his present position at Stephen F. Austin College in Nacogdoches where he is serving as the Dean of Fine Arts. The same year, coming from public school, radio and televi sion and show production experi ence, Robert L. Boone became the organization’s fourth direc tor since 1938. During the past 12 years, Boone has lead his singers through numerous radio and tele vision appearances as well as the production of five stereo record albums. The earlier record of 10 or 15 performances each year has grown to today’s 50 to 60 annual performances given on the cam pus and throughout the state each year. In 1971, the Singing Cadets appeared in the White House.

C., in the 1971-72 school year. McGovern Calls Nixon Plan ‘Threatening’ NEW YORK UP)—Sen. George McGovern, campaigning here Tuesday, said President Nixon’s plan to cut U.S. troop strength in South Vietnam by 12,000 men endangers American servicemen remaining in the Southeast Asia country. “Mr. Nixon’s Vietnam policy threatens the men we have re maining there with a grave and growing threat of annihilation,” McGovern said in a statement lepsy. come by the University Health Center. issued by his campaign staff. The Democratic presidential nominee’s view was released after Nixon said in California that U. S. troop strength in South Vietnam would be reduced from 39,000 to 27,000 over the next three months. McGovern said the gradual re duction in the number of Ameri cans meant “they become more and more dependent on the no toriously unreliable protection of Gen. Thieu’s army — upon the South Vietnamese who have re peatedly run away from battle and who have no incentive at all to protect our men.” In Paris, North Vietnam’s peace talks delegation said Nix on’s announcement “is devoid of all significance.” A delegation spokesman said Nixon “continues to try and sway Americans and world opin ion with an announcement of a new withdrawal of a small num ber of American troops.” “This comedy has the sole ef fect of underscoring once again the . . . policy of aggression and neocolonialism of the Nixon ad ministration,’’ the spokesman added. 2BIG SPECIALS album tape 2.8 9 4.79 31 5 U NIVE RSI T Y NORTHGATE One day otf per wc 4C per word each additional day Minimum charge—7oc Unimum charge—< Classified Display $1.00 per column inch each insertion FOR SALE Have to sell — leaving the country.
