Looks Good To Us
We don’t know how you voted.
We do care, for the MSG needs your help. We hope you
voted “YES.”
But something that looked very good at A&M was that
students were taking an interest iri the election. Too often
in the past have elections on this campus been decided by a
minority of the student body. Indications are that, this time,
more students than usual were exercising their voting priv
ilege.
A favorable vote is going toward maintaining the high
standards now maintained at the Student Center. A nega
tive vote can. mean'curtailed services and run-down facilities.
Everyone at A&M comes into some sort of contact with
the MSG, even if it is only enjoying its appearance as a beauty
spot on the campus. To preserve the “Living Room of the
Campus” is the need for an affirmative vote for the fee.
To those who. haven’t voted, there’s still a few hours
left. The voting booth will be open until 5 p.m.
So preserve your Center, and, while doing yourself and
the school a needed favor, you can also put yourself into the
habit of using your privilege of the vote.
For it is through the vote that we in America can pre
vent such things as “mississippi justice” from spreading
across our nation.
Complicated Drill
Promised By Band
By JIM BOWER
Battalion Staff Writer
With the applause of 65,000 Cali
fornia fans still ringing in their
ears, the Aggie Band has planned
aji even more complicated drill for
Saturday night.
“Part of the California drill will
be shown Saturday night,” said Lt.
Col. E. V. Adams, band director.
“People have expressed a desire to
see the California drill, so two of
the more intricate movements will
be included in this one.”
Lasting almost eight minutes,
the Saturday night drill will con
sist of 13 precision maneuvers.
During the time that the band is
on the field, they are playing con
tinuously.
The drill will start in a split
double minstrel turn and counter
march as the band enters the field.
A double delayed counter march
from the center combined with
right and left northwestern turns
and right and left minstrel turns
leaving the band in two sections on
opposite sides of the field.
At this time, the two sides do a
half turn and criss-cross in the
center of the field. After complet
ing the criss-cross, the band then
folds back, together and goes into

a continuous counter march.
Coming out of the counter
march, a four-way minstrel turn is
executed which divides the band
into two parts in preparation for
the simultaneous forming of “U of
H” reading both ways and then
“AMC” reading both ways.
After forming the letters, the
band goes back into formation,
forms the giant “T” and counter
marches while in this' formation.
After a delayed counter march
while still in the “T,” the band does
a northwestern to the right in
leaving the field.
Beginning the season with the
drill in Los Angeles, the band
showed the Californians a new
style of half-time performance.
The California fans gave the
band a standing ovation with such
remarks as “I don’t see how they
do it” and “this is the greatest
band we have ever seen.”
The director of the band at the
University of Califomia said that
proof of the ability of the Aggie
band was illustrated when they re
ceived the numerous complimen
tary stories from the Los Angeles
papers, which, he said, “never be
fore gave any space to bands ex
cept those from the Big Ten con
ference.”
Tommy Short is head Drum Ma
jor of the band. He is assisted by
Dwight Brown, maroon band Drum
Major and Buddy Patterson, white
band Drum Major.
