Indeed there are few words to describe the singing of this negro group, to whom singing is equiva lent to emotional breathing. Aban doned gestures, subtle swaying, and an obvious joy in their song mark the performance of every piece. No other race delivers itself to rhythmic chant in so complete and pulsating way. This group proves one thing, and that is that it takes negroes to sing negro spirituals. Only a neg ro group such as this can give an exhibition of naturalness, of exul tation, and of the joy of expression of moods that we of our race pre fer to keep concealed. The Fisk Singers are noted above all else for their interpretation of and presentation of the negro spirit uals of which we are so proud.

Ellingston, gen eral manager of the prison system also attended. The economife survey will begin immediately and another joint meeting will be held to hear the report in 60 days, it was decided. Friday night the 12 o’clock yell practice marked a turn to the worse. It was praised by a few as the best they’ve heard in two years and yet that doesn’t say very much. Gathered around in their little groups were Aggies who had brought their dates out to see one of the traditional mid-night ses sions. For the short time of its duration, they couldn’t refrain from talking to the fairer anes. The re sult was that the chatter on the outside grew louder than that com ing from the steps, even though at times the latter was much better. Two years ago on the Y steps, Hub Aston raised the spirits of the Aggies so much that the scribes wrote the game story with the fight of the cadets more in the praises than the heavy defeat T.C. U. handed them. We cried as the victory song came pouring over us and Hub pac ed the steps pleading and asking for the real spirit of the team, not for himself. The next day a great A.&M. team was turned back by the Frogs but the twelfth man had the real thing. Last Saturday on Kyle Field, the corps filled the stand and let the game go as it would. The team was ready and yet the twelfth man was still unseasoned. Each class in its own section yelled when they saw fit and as they received the signals they let it go at that. The seniors high in the stands had little chance' to give the personal yells for the names of the retiring players never traveled that far. Still, maybe at times that was for the better, for one player was giv en a yell on his entrance into the game and also on his leaving. A reform must come about. Per haps the new yell stand, if there is going to be one, will solve the prob lem. Baylor is a gunnin’; Arkansas has gone down twice and will be fighting for all she is worth, Rice has surprised a few and will slip Up on a few more, and the stories of the Mustangs and the Longhorns have been repeated time and time and time again.
