of platoon leader nominees.
This Is the first year that
election of officers has been
conducted in the spring. Prior
to this time, all nominations and
elections were made at the be*
ginning of each school year.
The purpose of the new system,
J. B. Rochelle, commander of the
company explained, is to allow
seniors who have had an oppor
tunity to observe the other mem
bers of the company to have a 1
hand in election of officers.
The change in the method and
time of election of officers was!
unanimously accepted by < the
members present at the meeting.
Plans for establishing a Ross
Volunteer Association were con
sidered at the meeting, but ac
tion was deferred until a later
date. The purpose of the asso
ciation would be to band to
gether former members of the
RV company in much the same
manner as former students of
the college.
. Among the other items discussed
at the meeting were methods of!
selection for future members of!
the company, and means of financ
ing company activities.

eral of their productions. She has
been in “The Male Animal,” “Pure

"You ask A senorita for a leetle
embrace, she answers you carram-
ba, bambarito—in Minagua, Nic
aragua—that’s nol” and so the
wofds of the song bounce along.
Shedding ^ new light on these
lyrics and the Nicaraguan sen
orita is Emillio Chamorro, agri
culture engineering sophomore
from Nicaragua. He says, “it’s
hard enough trying to get a
Nicaraguan girl alone.”
Chamorro explains that a Nic
araguan boy and girl cannot go out
together in a car unless proparly
chaperoned by an older person or
escorted! by at least one other cou
ple. Even wh
are
special occasions, go out together
—alone.)
“In that iway things up here

says ^laughingly.

to come three thousand

had hard of A&M down in Nicar
ague, and I knew of its reputation.
I also wanted to learn English.
Chamorro came to Texas by air
plane and arrived in Houston ready
to take the first train for College
Station. “I thought I knew Englis i
pretty good, but I soon found out
that I knew nothing. In Houston
when I got off the plane, I went
to the train station and asked the
girl for a ticket to College Station.
She couldn't understand. She
thought that I wanted to send an
overnight letter to College Station.
She kept telling me to go to ano
ther desk. Finally I was led to
the head man in the station and
got my ticket.”
Whan he finishes his college
career, Chamorro plans to return
to Fork on his father's ranch
and two farms applying his
knowledge of agricultural engi
neering.
An interesting feature about the
Nicaraguan ranch owned by the
Chamorros ia a volcano called El
(omotombo located about a mile
from the ranch house. No vegeta
tion grows along its aide. Hie vol
cano is smoking at all times.

“you can eVen fry eggs with

When asked about the food in
Nicaragua, Chamorro answeml
“we eat the same things that you
do up here, but in Nicaragua we
have a larger variety! of tropica
fruits. The first time I ever tasted
enchiladas was when I came to
Texas.
