Be Good Trouper
Carmen Amaya, feature attrac
tion on the Town Hall program in
Guion Hall here Thursday night,
proved herself to be a real trouper
according to a member of the Spa
nish speaking group on the campus.
In the last number on her program
before the grand finale, “Ay, Que
Tu,” Miss Amaya was supposed to
depict by her dancing the emotions
of a rejected sweetheart, telling her
lover that she was indifferent to
him, yet at the same time begging
him to return.
The audience failed to catch the
spirit on the dance, so instead of

lieutenants as seconds-in-com-
mand, five majors, and one lieu
tenant colonel as regimental com
mander.
Thursday evening Colonel Welty
met with the newly appointed cadet
officers and explained the set-up
to them. These officers will move
into the freshmen dormitories to
day and assume their commands
immediately, leading the compan
ies in all formations. A similiar ar
rangement placing seniors in com
mand of upperclassmen battalions
will be inaugurated in the near
future.
For the last two semesters in
coming freshmen have lived in the
four new dormitories under a
tactical officer and a sergeant with
cadet officers of their own class.
The change resembles somewhat
the system employed before the
war when cadets were in sole
charge of the fifty organizations
on the campus.
Jack Knox will be the lieutenant
colonel in command of the regi
ment. C. S. Hunter, B. H. Ervin,
R. S. Guenther, B. B. Cowser, and
Bill Terrell are the five cadet
majors serving as battalion com
manders and staff members.

there is. The Art Students’ League
was begun many years ago by a
number of art students who wanted
to establish a school for them

It was at this school that she
had one of the best art teachers
that anyone could possibly have.
It was Dimitri Romanoffsky, a
Pole who was in New York at the
time. She studied for two years
under him and under Frank V.
DuMond and several other teach

Miss Haines has done a number
of portraits for citizens in Bryan;
among these are Misses Ann and
Wissie Howell, daughters of Doug

Carmen Amaya
Wins Favor of Town
Hall Audience
Gypsy Troupe Dancers
Enjoyed by Everyone
Attending at Guion
Carmen Amaya and her troupe
of gypsy dancers filled Guion Hall
Thursday evening with the largest
crowd that has attended Town Hall
during this season.
Accompanying Carmen were
Antonia Amaya, Leonor Amaya,
Dorita, Valero, Gloria Belmonte,
Luisillo, Paco Amaya, and Jeron
imo Villarino. The pianist for the
troupe was Raymond Sachse while
Sabicas rendered guitar solos.
According to the reactions of
the audience, Carmen’s unique ar
rangement of “Ay! Tu!”, a popular
gypsy number in which a jilted
gypsy girl sings to her unfaithful
lover, was the highlight of the
program. Approximately half way
through the song “the human Ves
uvius”, who was dressed in an
over-large sized dress, broke out
with ‘^ny mamma done tol’ me.”
The applause necessitated an en
core.
Sabicas, the expert guitarist,
was also required to give a number
of encores. His own “Malaguenas”
and “Jota-Tarrego”, arranged by
he and Tarrega were both called
back through popular demand.
The custumes worn by the troupe
were reported to have been “es
pecially attractive”. Aggies and
servicemen were very compliment
ary concerning the entire program.
