GREAT PIECE OF MUSIC
While everyone is in an uproar over
the proposed gun law, the riots, etc., I
would like to suggest to all a way that
will make you stand up and be counted
aya Texan. ..
The A&M band, under the direction of
Lt. Col. E. V. Adams "29, has just released
a recording called “The Fightin’ Texas
Aggie Band.” It is a long-playing album
and has 13 selections. Whether you're from
the University of Texas or Baylor Univer-
sity, or any other college, this recording
will bring out all the great spirit of a
Texan .
The folio that wraps this stirring album
is a work of art in itself. On the back it
will give you the unbelievable story of the
A&M band. It is well worth the $5 to have
this great piece of music and it will let
you know you are still a Texan, and no
one will impose unjust laws on this great
state .

There’s not much we can add to a testi-
monial like this, Mrs. Patterson. We agree
entirely and would just like to note that
all profits from the record are going into
a special Band Association fund to assist
the band. The albums can be obtained by
sending $5, plus $1 for postage, packing,
and tax, to: Texas Aggie Band Association,
Box 7368, College Station, Texas 77840.

SELLING THE CAMPUS
The present publication is certainly a
great improvement, well assembled, and
affords good reading even to one who has
been away from the Campus for 46 years.
“It” is full of interest.
When I have finished reading the maga-
zine, I always pass my copy on to some
of the LaMarque High School students.
I have one junior right now who is “sold”
on Texas A&M.

It’s always great to see another use for
one’s product. Makes us wonder how many
others are finding similar uses for the
magazine. It also makes a point for the
quality wanted by The Association of For-
mer Students. A quality magazine will help
attract quality students to a quality uni-
versity . . . like the one at College Station,
Texas.
