[The second edition of Opinions! and Attitudes begins with the quiestion, “Do you think a variety! show could be a success at the Annex? If so, do you thinly that! acta could be put or> a company! and flight basis?” This topic wasj chosen because numerous requests have been turned in to officials! concerning a variety show andj these officials in turn have Von- deired if a successful show might be produced. After questioning 100 Annex Freshmen we found that 66%j of the fish were highly in favor ofj such a show providing that it was! not scheduled for a week-end. |24% said that they did not think it would be successful because of the amount of extra time it wouldj require and also because they thought there was a scarcity of gpod talent at the Annex. I Upholding (he variety Show I z'. 7 7-: ; - idea is Milton Pace, an animal husbandry student from Valley View. Said Milton, “If everyone would cooperate it would be a lot of fun, and since a lot: of boys out here are talented, it should n’t be hard to put on a bang-up show.” Guy Warren, pre-law niajor from Corpus Christi, agreed with Pace in that “A variety show Iwould of fer Annexites a chance to see their friends display their talent and it would be a good source! of enter tainment.” £ Leading off for the negative side of the question is ftyron Black, a Bryan business major who says, “It sounds good until you stop to think about the source! of talent. I don’t think there is enough real talent on the Annex to warrant ^putting on a variety show." Bryan Spencer supports the first two opinions by asserting, "Sounds OK to me, and with a lot of work by the participants it should go over pretty good.” Approximately 10% (if the peo ple questioned had no cbmment to make in the matter or they pre ferred to remain silent! w J; S / VI 4 ’ 1 “In the spring, a young man’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of”...
