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. Anothex* special feat-

the class, px-esided at the x'eunioxx

the dinner the class membex's i'e-

union.

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.

year ai-e Foster Gray, pxesident;
Jei'idan Stxong, vice - pxesident;
John Hildebx-and, business mana
ger, Don Fi'iend, librarian; Bill
Wiseman, leporter-histoi'ian.
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.
