Musical Meanderings By BILL MURPHY Before I begin my meanderings, let me say that this column is defi nitely not going in for “hack-pat ting” but is trying to give you the pure and unbiased truth. Here’s the way things are . . . For almost fifteen years now the Aggieland Orchestra has been play ing dances on this campus, and for almost fifteen years the same out fit has been bringing credit and revenue to this school. In fact, not once during this period has this orchestra been a discredit to its name—the “Aggieland.” Through these years as the band changed hands, it has continued to grow in quality as well as quantity. Last year, with Toppy Pearce at the helm the Aggieland reached new heights in style and popular ity. But this year the boys were lucky enough to find a kid who has been a hustler and dynamic in all his undertakings enough to land the Aggieland on the Fitch Sum mer Bandwagon with the highest vote yet recorded a band on that program. Since then the band has landed jobs in some of the finest hiteries and hotels in the South, not to mention the large radio shows. Whether you realize it or not, this orchestra will never hit the heights it has achieved the past few months, and after next May the Aggieland will lose much of its spark that has made it the “best known college band in Amer ica.” In “We’ve Never Been Licked” the orchestra is coming through again with a hit tune that is sure to land on the hit parade. I could go on for hours but you know most of it already. The main thing is that this school has defi nitely become music-minded and Aggies now know the difference between Joe Blow and his Squires dnd Glenn Miller. Now, for the first time, organizations don’t have to rely entirely on the taste and judgment of their dance commit tees, but can now demand the or chestra of their choice. BUT with the war hitting dance bands all over the country not only by the draft, but with transporta tion difficulties as well, bands will be a thing of the past after De cember 15, in this section especial ly. With this thing in mind, why can’t we work out a system where by all campus organizations and clubs can have their dances next season with a minimum of expense, and at the same time help out the boys in the Aggieland who depend upon this as their means of paying that maintenance every month. If you are worrying about the quality of the band, I think that can be best answered by asking those who compared the band with that of Herb Miller and those who heard the broadcast “Showtime.” I only ask you to think this over and if you approve, then let your ideas and opinions be heard. After all, that’s why we have a Social Secretary and Student Activities. Why not sign a .contract with the Aggieland to play all dances for the duration, and the Aggieland in return should set a universal price for all dances on the campus ? There is nothing to lose and every thing to gain. THIRTY-SECOND NOTES The Aggieland played in G I’s Friday night when they were called away from a rehearsal for the “Showtime” broadcast to play the Engineers Ball. It seems that Herb Miller was detained en route from Alexandria, La. . . . RECORD OF THE WEEK: “Manhattan Serenade,” played by Harry James and ork. It’s one of his finest of the year and is grow ing in popularity daily. On the back side “Daybreak” is also good, but doesn’t touch “Manhattan.” Helen Forrest comes through as usual with superb vocalizing. To end the column here is an other one of those THINGS . . . The song least likely to be revived at this time: LET’S HAVE AN OTHER CUP OF COFFEE. —GRIFFIN— (Continued from page 3) were entered from each organiza tion. TEAM RESULTS CLASS A 1.

Only after all the above steps are completed and the sophomore actually sworn in can be hope to get a contract or take advanced military science, concluded Col. Marshall. LARGEST MOTOR Under construction at the prin cipal plant of the General Electric Company is a machine which, when completed, will very likely be the biggest electric motor in the world. Certainly it is the largest, in torque, which G.E. has ever under taken to build. It is a d-c machine rated 7,000 hp, weighing 1,000,000 pounds, and 44 feet long, 16 feet high, and 18 feet wide.

He is the most dangerous man on the team, and is expected to give the Longhorns plenty of trouble come Turkey Day. Little Barney Welch, 170 lbs. of dynamite, understudies Daniels and does the job in magnificent style. Since he was inserted in the Aggie lineup, the Maroon team has sud denly found its punch and in re cent games has been regarded as a real threat. Welch is the top Ag gie punter, but passes and runs in effective fashion. He has thrown some 20 passes and four of those have been touchdowns, three com ing in one game. Bucek Heads Line Felix Bucek, the Aggies’ candi date for All-Am erica honors, is the mainspring of that “never-say- die” forward wall and he’ll be matching wits against Texas’ Stan ley Mauldin, phenomenal tackle. Bucek has stood out like a sore thumb throughout the year and Thursday, Line-Coach Bill James will place the responsibility of stop ping the Longhorns’ powerful run ning plays. Bill Sibley, Aggie pivot man, has made a remarkable comeback in the past two games and will be counted on heavily in that Cadet defense. Others expected to see much service in the line include Bill Henderson and Boots Simmons at ends; Ray Mulhollan at the op posite guard slot; and Wayne Cure and Hank Foldberg at tackles. McKay—TU Offense For Texas University, it’ll be Roy Dale McKay, upon whose shoulders Coach Dana X. Bible will place the Steer offensive. His ab sence or presence makes much dif ference to the Texas team for he is their leading threat. He is the kicker, runner and passer on the team and he will have much say a,s to the outcome of the forthcom ing fray. The stage is all set for a “dream” game—the kind of game both Ag gie and Longhorn fans have been dreaming of. The teams are very evenly matched, although the home eleven boasts of a better record. But in these games, records are thrown in the waste basket and each team starts from scratch. Texas is in a spot. It must whip the Aggies to win the crown, while the Cadets are after remorseful re venge for that stinging blow struck by Texas on Kyle Field last year. Each team is out for blood, but it’s the fans who are going to g^t the most kick out of this spine- tingling affair!
