The Battalion PAGE 2 College Station (Brazos County), Texas Tuesday, October 22, 1957 Art for Aggies 9 Sake By WELTON JONES First of all, a brief explanation. This column did not appear Friday at the regular time, as it was decided that most of the column’s readers would be absent Friday due to activities connected with the football Corps Trip to Fort Worth. Therefore, for the first time in its brief history, this column begins, rather than ends, the school week VARIETY—As its second presentation of the season, the Town Hall organization will bring to the G.—Rollie White arena Thursday night, a show featuring singer Dorothy Collins backed up by the orchestra of Shep Fields. Miss Collins has been in show business since 1943, when she be gan singing with the band of Raymond Scott. She is primarily known for her work in television, mainly on* the show “Your Hit Parade” and for a cigarette com mercial she did. Fields has been around the business for many years also, and during this time has been received quite well on the country’s “ball room” circuit. When he is not touring, he makes his home in Houston. Fields’ musical style is known as “Rippling Rhythm” and fea tures a vocalist humming into a glass of water through a soda Sti'aw to describe the theme. The show is indicative of a trend, lately, in American enter tainment: that of the package show of “popular” artists. These groups give individual artists whose names are not famous enough or whose material is not extensive enough for personal ap pearances alone, a chance to be seen. As a special attraction, Town Hall has been able to secure an other of these “specials-for-this -tour” groups to appear in a promotional appearance here November 5. This group is to include capable singer Carmen McRae, the futuristic vocal group known as the Hi-Los and the very excellent orchestra of Ted Heath, the English version of just about every major U.S. orchestra leader. Heath was a member of another package that visited here last year, one that was almost too unwieldy. The trend, actually, is a good one. Often one does not get enough of an individual artist on such a 'group, but some is better than none. Only when the impresarios who arrange such tours mix such un likely companions as the unpre dictable Stan Kenton and drippy voiced Joni James, no matter how attractive she may be, does this column begin to worry how ap propriate it may be. We may never know, as this package is not scheduled for an appearance here. Fields and Miss Collins are both, of course, professionals in the best sense of the word, and as such, will put on a creditable performance, but this column can not help looking forward more to the November presentation. MUSIC—A well-meaning, but rather r a g g e d-a t-t h e-elbows Memorial Student Center group, the poor sister of the Great Is sue series, has set its first pro gram of the year in the MSC As sembly Room next Monday at 8 p.m. At this time, the Recital Series committee will present Miss Ara bella Hong, a soprano, in a pro gram of songs ranging from Ra vel and Mozart to Rodgers and Hart. Admission is by season ticket or $.75. A young singer new to this area, Miss Hong graduated from “ New York’s Juilliard School of Music in 1955 and has since won plaudits from critics both foreign and domestic during a world and later a national tour. Critics in New York, Vienna, Berlin, Milan and Stuttgart seem to have spoken well of her; well enough, indeed, that she deserves a good audience at A&M. “I just can’t wake up in time for breakfast in Duncan!” Job Interviews The following job interviews will be held in the Placement Of fice: Wednesday International Business Mach ines interviews for positions bus iness administration, econmics, mathematics, education, chemis try, physics, accounting, electri cal, industrial and mechanical engineering majors.

Man to Man BY JOE TINDEL Today, I’m departing- from the regular routine of short comments on various subjects to express what I think is in the heart of every Aggie who went to Fort Worth this week end. Frankly, Army, I’m mad! Never have Aggies .had as much reason to be mad yet proud at the same time. Never have A&M students acted more like the true men they are only to be greeted by a mob of high-schoolish TCU students bent on getting their child ish revenge. It takes more than just intestinal fortitude to stand by and hear your school and yourself ridiculed and ignore it without starting a fight. This weekend it was only after the TCU rowdies landed the first blow with no encouragement from Aggies that, like all true Aggies, we rallied to the cause. Someone came into the office yesterday and asked me if sportsmanship meant standing by and seeing your buddy get beat up without going to his aid. Sportsmanship, is not standing by and getting mauled or seeing your buddy get mauled. It’s merely acting like a man. A true man uses diplomacy to solve as many problems as it can. He resorts to fighting only after all else fails. All else did fail in many instances this weekend and every Aggie lick was undoubtedly justified. Let’s face it. We have a lot to live down from years past. A lot of people still thing of Aggies as rowdies. This weekend proves we’re trying to keep out of trouble. Only when trouble forces itself on us do we take positive action. We’ve sat back for two games—U. of H. and TCU— ^and tried to, do what we believe is for A&M’s best interest. |Every man has his breaking point, though. In light of the (last two weekends, let’s hope Baylor doesn’t start anything. Hedgecock Elected To Writing Group Ernest D. Hedgecock, Depart ment of English instructor, has been elected to the board of direc tors of the American Business Writing Association. Hedgecock will take over his new position January, 1958, for a three- year term. He is currently serving his third year as vice president of the or ganization.

Price Daniel’s special session call. But there are about as many ideas on how-to-do-it as there are members in both houses. Hence, for each law the road to passage probably will be littered with scores of amendments. Contributing most to the dis comfort and difficulties of the lawmakers is shortage of money. Robert Calvert, State Comptroll er, bluntly predicts a $6,000,000 THE BATTALION The Editorial Policy of The Battalion Represents the Views of the Student Editors The Battalion, daily newspaper of the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texa£ and the City of College Station, is published by students in the Office of Student Publications as a non-profit educational service.

Main deficit by the end of this bien nium. To meet costs of this session the legislature re-allocated funds appropriated for the regular ses sion. Money to launch the new water planning program is to be gotten, a little here, a little there, from unused appropriations to other agencies. But if this session, and the program the governor seeks from it, squeaks by financially, there’s a rougher showdown ahead. That is whether to have another 30- day session for segregation laws. If so, the state presumably would have to go into debt to pay for the session. For legislators, most of whom will be facing cam paign opponents in a few months, this is a hard choice. EAST TEXAS PUSH—Efforts of a block of do-or-die East Tex as. legislators to protect Texas’ segregated schools overshadows other lawmaking. Governor Daniel promised the group that no federal troops will “occupy the campuses and halls of our schools as long as I am governor.” But the governor said he was not ready to say if or when he would submit segregation laws to the legislature. This was \too vague for Rep. Joe Pool of Dallas. He introduc ed a resolution demanding the governor announce immediately if he will allow introduction of segregation measures this, ses sion or call another session for that purpose. Nineteen other rep resentatives cosigned with Pool.
