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!”

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.

AUSTIN, Tex.—No member of
the Legislature is saying there
shouldn’t be laws on lobby con
trol, water conservation or the
other items listed in Gov. 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

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.
