The -Aggie Band marched across the
movie screen at Guion Hall last week dur-:
ing intermission at the annual Spring band
concert, -i For the hundreds of persons
who turned out for the excellent prog ram-,
th«i halftime technicolor movie was a real
treat. A dubbed-in sound track added to
iwhat would have been a good movie even
without sound. » ;
I The movie.showed' the band’s march

football games iu past seasons. To those
Who had seen the band in action at those
particular games tbajmovie was a pleas

tlje games , the interWiission offering was
an opportunity
missed. -
• Following -the band concert, several
people suggested a plan which is well
riorth consideration. In brief, the plan

Junior Livestock Show Troubles
• Junior livestock shows and sales in
Texas have bumped into trouble. . Many
sponsors already have encountered . the
bitterness of boys who believe their
calves should have brought more at sale
than they did. Each year, more and more
communities and. counties run afoul of
the same (Situation. Resultant misunder
standing ‘ancF strained relations are not
healthy!
Cause of the trouble lies in a distortion
of the feeding progripnSfeiQriginal purpose.
That purpose is to teach youngsters prac
tical steer feeding po that tfie finished

‘for a profit.' Any purpose other than

RICHEY TRAVELS
Editor, The Battalion:
In the past, it has boon almost
tradition that the Junior Yell
Lenders be re-elected as Senior
Yell Leaders. However, after read
ing the results of the primary
election of Yell Leaders, we were
surprised to note that this might
not be the case this year. Out of
four candidates, Bill Richey placed
third in the running. Why? We
feel that no one person in the class
of ’51 has done more to uphold the
tradition of Midnight Yell Prac
tices at out of town football games.
As we understand, the class of
’Slvheld a meeting near the end of
this past fall semester regarding
the possibilities of holding Mid-,
night Yell Practices this doming
fall. Reasons brought forth by the
administration to ban them devel
oped from the disapproval of Hmis-
ton’s city government and Ex-iml-
dents. To prevent this incident
from happening in other towns
next fall, Bill, at his Own expense
and missing two days of classes,
thumbed his way to San Antonio,
Austin, Waco, and Dallas, visiting
Police Commissioners, City Coun-
ciltnen, and Ex-Students for the
purpose of obtaining permission to
hold Midnight Yell; Practices in
those towns.
Rill started this trip the day fol
lowing tills particular, and the fol
lowing kvoek letters of approval
and support of Midnight Yell Prne-
tiecH wore received from Kv-htu
dents and city governments of all
four cities,

I X-RAY THANKS
Editor, The Battalion:
I wish to take this means to
thank A&M College and all the
jieople of College Station xyho con
tributed to the success pi the re
cent X-Ray Survey. I \yould like
to write each one a personal let
ter. but since there were several
hundred who worked on the var
ious committees, and it is impos-
Mblc to get a complete list, that
seems impracticable.
I assure you that your coopera
tion was appreciated and that it
Was a pleasure to work with you
bn this worthwhile project. The
ifine response at College Station
was very gratifying to me.

Otto Premingbr, producer anjl
