Opinions And Attitudes
j At The Annex
By ALLEN PENGELLY ! .
[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.

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!
