PORT L A N T By BARRY HART I was the unfortunate witness to one of the worst exhi bitions I have seen in my five years on this campus. Monday night the Aggies opened their 1956-57 basket ball season with a 69-60 victory over St. Mary’s of San An tonio in White Coliseum. With the majority of Aggies still on the road after the Thanksgiving holidays, there was a sparse crowd of perhaps 500 with possibly 200 A&M students on hand. I would guess that the St. Mary’s team had 50 support ers in the stands, but they sounded like 500. Never in my memory has a visiting crowd out-yelled the Aggies here in Aggieland, but it happened Monday night. None of the A&M yell leaders were present, but that shouldn’t have made any difference. The St. Mary’s fans came out with a number of organized yells that completely shut out the meagre Aggie clapping. It was as if the Aggies were visiting another average cookie-pusher school and were out-yelling, typically, the home fans. To me it seemed as if the A&M followers and students were ashamed of their team—ashamed to make any noise to let their boys know they were behind them in their winning effort. Football is over and it looks like the spirit is too. CATERING SPECIAL FOR OCCASIONS Leave the Details to me.

Each customer has his own communications prob lems, and these are a constant and stimulating engineering challenge. “Another part of my job is to help set up facilities for conventions. sports events and the like. Last sum mer’s Democratic National Conven tion, for instance, used enough circuits and facilities to serve a small city. There were special circuits for broadcasting, teletypewriters, the press, and for inside communica tions. It was our job to set those facilities up and keep them operating. “The increase in demand for tele phone and related services is phe nomenal. It’s this growth that’s creating real career opportunities in the telephone business.
