—TOWN HALL—
(Continued From Page 1)
dances through fire with her
troupe of gypsy dancers. This is
the year’s program, and with talent
such as listed, this Town Hall sea
son will go down in history as be
ing the best ever put on the stage
of Guion Hall.
Bidu Sayao will be the first fea
ture of Town Hall when she pre
sents her beautiful and lovely voice
for all to hear on October 19. Bidu
comes to Aggieland as a famous
member of the Metropolitan, but
she won fame abroad and then
made her entrance to this country.
A lovely soprano, Bidu will have a
program that any music lover
would like to hear.
Carmen Amayo on November 18
has something in the style of fla
menco dancing that will thrill
every person sitting in the audi
ence of Town Hall. Her gypsy
movements and those of her troupe
will have every bit of their gypsy
rhythm mixed with the music of
the gypsy. An entertainer in Bu
enos Aires before Toscanini dis
covered her, Carmen has won fame
in the United States and she will
come to the campus with the same
thought in mind, that of giving her
audience what they want to see
and hear.
A. & M.’s own Singing Cadets
will be the featured program oh
December 14 when they present
some of the songs that are so well
received by every audience at every
appearance over the state. The
Cadets have been acclaimed one of
the best male singing groups in
the United States, and previous
samples of their music have prov
en this to the Corps and to the
service men on the campus. Popu
lar, classical, semi-classical, and
the traditional songs of Aggieland
will be featured on the program.
Richard Crooks will bring his
fine tenor voice to the campus on
January 20 for the enjoyment of
the Town Hall audience. Crooks is
a national figure in the minds of
music lovers, and even those who
don’t care for music as a rule will
enjoy his songs.
A mystic and psychic, Joseph
Dunninger has baffled the nation’s
greatest psychologists. This per
former has presented his show of
the “super-human” accomplish
ments of the human mind to six
presidents, and his presentation
on the Town Hall stage will be of
the same unusualness.
The Philadelphia Opera will
bring its organization to the stage
of Guion Hall on February 21 with
a program that will contain good
dramatics, beautiful voices, mod
ern settings, and contemporary and
understandable English to the clas
sics. A company of eighty-six
young people including a small
symphony orchestra will be on
hand to show the Aggies and serv
ice men some of the old dramatics.
Zino Francescatti who appears
on Town Hall on March 7 is one
of the finest violinists in the world
and the famed “Hart” Stradivarius
violin as his instrument will testi
fy to his ability as a musician. His
program will truly be worth at
tending.
The seventh appearance of the
Houston Symphony Orchestra will
be made on April 4 when the Town
Hall season comes to a close. The
Symphony with Ernst Hoffman as
conductor has always made a hit
with the Corps, and this year will
be no exception.

courteous that these directions be

where the buildings of their class

when they should know the loca
tion of every building on the cam

Hitch-hiking! This is a part
of Aggie life that caused much
concern last semester, but it is
only logical for anyone with com
mon sense and common courtesy
to wait his turn for a ride. Aggie
corners have been the standing
means of getting away from the
college, and there is no indication
that it will stop. Up-streaming
the Aggie corner is an unforgiv
able sin, but it used to be worse
than that. When you begin your
week end trip, you get to the high
way that takes you to your destin

turn to catch a ride. First come,
first served is the policy, so when
the first one gets a ride, he asks
the driver how many he will take.
He gives the number and only this
number gets in. Down-streaming
