products. AAM’s contribution to
the musical world, the Aggieland
Orchestra and the Singing Cadets,
combined Saturday night in Guion

to AH Fools Day.
Appropriate? Yes, because only
a fool could fail to recognize the
genuine talent which blossoms
forth musically on our campus all
too seldom.
Starting the hour program was

informal and unorthodox Bill Tur

was “Tea For Two,” an excellent

Vocalist Tommy Butler stepped
upon the stage for “Embraceable

a way that Gershwin would have
been proud. Following Butler, but
with an entirely different t;
of vocalism was Lou Doran, AA
answer to all “bop” fans.
The “bop” number was “Eleva

The rendition went over extra-well
with the enthusiastic audience and
featured Doran, Motheral and Don

Students Hear
Briefings For
Easter Talks
Three stiaff members and a
senior cadet spoke Friday to
a group of students who in
tend to speak to high school
audiences durihg the Easter
holidays. j
Speakers were Col. H. L. Boat
ner, commandant; Lt. Col. Joe
Davis,'assistant commandant; Ben
nie .Qnn, assistant dean of stu
dents; and Joe Mullins, senior
riiysics major from Carizso
Springs.
Cbl. Boatner gave the main ad
dress of the meeting. He told the
future speakers, to be careful in
their, manner of dress, speech, and
courtesies.
“If you are a cadet, wear your
uniform, and wear it right; if you
are entitled to. wear boots, wear
them, and be neat,” Col. Boatner
said. The students were told to
“sell” AAM not only to the pros
pects, but to sell the school to
teachers, principals and parents.
Col. Davis explained two infor
mation , sheets from the Military
Department explaining the ROTC.
ZhMrj explained speaking pro
cedures and checked roll of the
high schools that speakers were
scheduled to visit.
Mullins concluded the meeting
' ;h final instructions to the stu

In handing the Bears
loss of the season, the Aggie jnine
moved once again into the win col
umn, having lost its previous! two
games, and are also tied for; the
lead in SWC confpetition. This
brought the Cadets! seasonal {win
total to eight games, although
they have ioftthree interaecttonal
games, two of which were by! sin
gle runs.
Two outstanding factors deter
mined the Cedets wjn Friday af
ternoon. The main jpne was the
victor’s hurling stdrf which, un

other was the AgxU-H eighteenth
home run of the supson.

' Proceeding along the corridor,
the group took a sharp right turn
