JOE TINDEL ^ ; L Editor Jim Neighbors Managing Editor CHS Choral Groups Present Show Tonight “An hour and a half of good vocal entertainment” is slated for 8 p. m. today at A&M Consolidated High School Auditorium as choral groups at the school present the Annual Night of Music, according to Robert L. Boone, director of music. Residents of the area are invited to observe and hear the groups blend their voices after a year of preparation for the climax of their efforts. No admission will be charged. Participating in the program will be four choruses, several soloists and a trio of boys known at the “Tritones”. Members of the trio are Mark Luther, Bill Armistead and Tommie Letbetter. A mixed chorus of high schoolers, mixed chorus of junior high stu dents and both a boys’ and girls’ chorus of junior high students are listed on the program, in addition to the soloists. “Bright and lively numbers will compose the program and Boone promises to exclude “long hair”. Broadway Show Time, hit tunes and popular numbers will be offer ed, Boone said. To climax the night of music, all chorus groups will combine their 120 voices to present Fred Wai’- ing’s “Battle Hymn of the Repub lic. Maestros will be Boone and Frank Coulter, director of junior high music. “Long hair” music will be pre sented during a program Sunday afternoon. But the other kind of music will be emphasized just as much then, Boone says, for both heavy and light numbers are plan ned for the program at 3 p. m. in the Memorial Student Center Ball room.

LOUISVILLE, Ky.—Firemen at tending a luncheon given by the local Fire Prevention Council had to leave their food and race away in a fire truck left outside for just such an emergency. Somebody had failed to prevent a fire. Cooking food had caught fire ih a home. No serious damage, ex cept for the cooling effect on the firemen’s dinners, was reported.

LOEFFLER STAYS (Continued from Page 1) one which Loeffler flatly denies, was in paragraph 2(b) of the SWC findings: “A round trip airline ticket from College Station, Texas to Providence, R. I., was illegally provided for a basketball player by a representative of Texas A&M College at Christmas, 1955.” The president in answer to the charge comments, “It is alleged that Coach Loeffler or his agent gave Alex Roberts the ticket for this trip. This, Coach Loeffler flatly denies. No substantiating evidence has accompanied this charge.” He continues, “The rules of fair play demand, under such circum stances, that Coach Loeffler be considered innocent until proof to CIRCLE FRIDAY "Great Day In The Morning” Robert Stack —ALSO— “Canyon River” George Montgomery SATURDAY ONLY “Yaqui Drjims Rod Cameron — Also— “Over Exposed Cleo Moore the contrary is produced.” Regardless of what action the SWC or NCAA takes, a precedent has been set by school officials in hacking the accused to the hilt and saying publicly and for the record, “We find no fault with our man.” Now its up to the NCAA as to wlicit disposition is to be made of the case and they haven’t been favorable with their decisions con cerning A&M in the past.
