Page 2 THE BATTALION Thursday, March 26 ,1953 Cadets Bring A&M Closer to Citizens By JON KINSLOW Battalion News Staff The organization that brings A&M closer to the people of Tex as than any other student group— that’s the name given the Singing Cadets by Bill Turner, their di rector. We call ourselves this because we stay in people’s homes while we ai'e on tour around the state, he said. The last tour of the, glee club was March 12-15, to Brownwood, Amarillo, Sherman and Denison. Other tours planned this semester are to Tyler, Houston and TSCW. The annual campus concert will be Sunday in the MSC. Turnex-, who received his BA axxd MA degi-ees from NTSC, has been music director at A&M since 1944. Besides the Singing Cadets, he di rects the Aggieland Oi'chestra. Serve Dual Purpose He says the Singing Cadets serve a dual pux-pose by furnishing a recreational outlet fox* the students and by being the performing group for many campxxs fuixctions. The main requix-ement for membei’ship in the glee club is a willingness to rehearse fi’om 5 to 6 p. m., five days a week, Turner said. “A persoxx doesn’t have to read music, but he must have an ear for it,” he added. “The member ship is formed at the beginning of each semestex*.” The gi - oup has one ‘coed’ among its membei’s. She is Miss Betty Bolander, accompaniast. ‘Bach To Boogie’ With a pi'ogram making xip a cx*oss-section of chox*al music, the cadets sing almost anything from ‘Bach to boogie’. Membei’s to be be px*esented Sunday include “Dry Bones,” “My Ideal,” “Gloria In Excelsis,” and “Deep Night.” They also have a quartet, coxxx- posed of Lamar Ashley, Ben Blankenship, Richard Reynolds and Don Fi'iend.

The Singing Cadets were first organized as a glee club in 1913, with a faculty member as director. Latex', in 1942, a campus-wide con test was held to pick a name for the group and “Singing Cadets” was the title selected. Traveling Singei's Since that time, the chorus has ti’aveled extensively through Tex as and Mexico. Last year they sang in Monterrey, Mexico, for the technilogical institute there, and in Houston at the Shamrock Hotel. The Music Hall, located across from the placement office, is the ‘home’ of the Singing Cadets. Al so used by the Aggie Players, the building contains seven i*ooms fox' practice and is open to all students. It has six pianos axxd an electi'onic ox-gan.

LETTERS Editoi's, The Battalion: Our oi'ganization has appxeciat- ed the coverage you have given our woi'kshop project, held last Satui'day at the Consolidated school. I wish to correct, howevci', the misstatement made at the open ing of your story in today’s (March 24) Batt. Mi'. McCleod, our speaker, fiem Sam Houston College did not sup port McCai'thyism at any time in his speech. In fact, he denounced the tactics used by that Senator in very sti'ong texms. The whole pur pose of the woi’kshop was to dis cuss the ways in which restric tions are gradually creeping in upon our fi'eedom of thought and speech. To xhy knowledge, this is the first time Mi'. McCleod has spoken in this community. He is a clever, witty, and gifted speakei', and I should be vei'y sorry to have his first appearance marred by wi'ong intei'pi'etation of his remai’ks. Mrs. Walter H. Delaplane President Bryan—College AAUW EDITORS’ NOTE The error was oui's. No maliciousness was intend ed concerning Mr. McCleod’s speech.
