Memory Slip
OMAHA CP)—Being readied for
an abdominal operation, the thrifty
housewife suggested the surgeon
might as well remove her appendix
while he was in the neighborhood.
But with the operation in progress,
the doctor could find no appendix.
“Oh, yes,” the patient recalled
later. “I remember now. I guess I
had them take it out while they
were doing my operation two years
ago.”

Fred Waring Mu si cade
First Town Hall Monday
By JIM NEIGHBORS
Battalion News Editor
Fred Waring and his Pennsyl
vanians present an original and
imaginative all-new production in
“Musicade” Monday at 8 p. m. in
White Coliseum.
This first Town Hall show of
the 56-57 school year has combined
the more brilliant effects of Holly
wood and the Broadway stage, the
lighting effects of Television, the
perfected sound of today’s radio
and recordings in Fred Waring’s
new show.
From his yeai’s as one of the
nation’s most outstanding show
men, Waring has coupled the finer
ingredients of each medium, re
hearsed them to their audio and
visual perfection, added his musical
magic and the diversified talents
of his Pennsylvanians and blended
them into a production that is
truly “the music all around you.”
Choreography has added to the
production of a gay and exciting
folk song sequence. Nostalgia is
prevalent in the minstrel show and
there are religious and patriotic
songs, popular tunes, semi-classics
and love songs to round out the
musical pageant.
The Waring group has been
touring the nation for 39 years. In

“Many patrons of the school
have not ordered their cards yet.
We urge them to do so as soon as
possible to avoid the rush,” Maj.

minutes late.
The show Monday night will in
clude the glee club, soloists and
the orchestra. Electronic devices
invented by the versatile Waring
enhance the effect obtained by the
startling stage scenery and the
extensive wardrobe used in the
show.
Originally, the Pennsylvanians
were organized by Waring and his
brother, Tom, in 1916. The four
man outfit quickly grew to eleven.
In 1933 Waring first went on the
air with his radio show and has
been on either radio or television
ever since.
America’s choral singing will be
represented Monday night in the
Coliseum by the leading group of
choral singers in the nation. The
Pennsylvanians are unique in show-
business as no other musical group
entertains so many of all ages
throughout the country.

The Hungarian Communist par

a new first secretary apparently on
orders of Soviet Deputy Premier
Anastas I. Mikoyan.
Mikoyan flew to Budapest yes

secret police fired on 2,000 peace
ful demonstrators.
The clatter of machine guns and
other weapons echoed through

Movie Features
A&M And City
A&M and College Station are
featured in a just-completed film,
“Texas College Ti’avelogue.”
The 30-minute, 16 mm. film de
picts the higher educational facil
ities available in more than 60
Texas senior colleges and univer
sities.
The film, a public service pro
ject of the Imperial Sugar Com
pany, terms A&M as “ranking
with the great technical colleges
of the nation.”
Prints of the film are being
made available, on a free loan ba
sis, for showings to high school
students and civic clubs through
out Texas.
The Civilian Student
gave approval last night to a
proposal for appointing civilian
dormitory chaplains at its regular
meeting in the Senate Chamber of
the Memorial Student Centei*.
Each dormitory council will be
asked to appoint a chaplain to as
sist the present civilian chaplain,
Bob Bacher, and his staff in
counseling students who have pro
blems.
Bacher says he feels the need of
these chaplains so there may be
closer contact between these stu
dents and a chaplain.
In the future a Civilian Chap
lains Council may be formed if the
method works satisfactorily, he
said.
At present there are only three
civilian chaplains. With the 11
Corps chaplains these men have
tried to organize more Bible study
groups, increase hospital visita
tion and institute such funds as the
Bill Curry Fund.
The Council also approved and
voted to support Amendment
Three, Joint House Resolution 15.
The amendment will be on the
ballot for the Nov. 6 General
Election. It provides for the
switching of part of the bonds in
the Permanent University Fund
from government • securities to
corporate investments so more
money will be available for build
ings and equipment for state-sup
ported institutions.
Other business was approval of
a proposal to continue sending
magazines to the Veterans Hospital
Council in Temple and appointing commit
tees.
Traditions Committee members
are Chairman John T. LaCroix,
Dwight Brown, Roy Andrews and
Frank Bailey. Mother’s Day Com
mitteemen are Ray Hahne, chair
man; Norman Guilloud and Thelton
McCorkle. Civilian Weekend Com
mittee, Bill Clarke, chairman; John
Avant, Henry Williams and Wil
liam Huitt.
Don Houston, civilian yell leader,
suggested that councilmen urge
their groups to help in getting
civilian students for work on the
bonfire. He also suggested that the
dorms might want to compete with
each other to see which one could
get the first and biggest log.
Dr. Robert B. Kamm, dean of
Student Personnel Services, spoke
to the council on the work of his
department.
