Talent, Selection
Equal Enjoy men t
By WELTON JONES
Obvious talent, a careful program
selection and a most gracious
avidience combined last night in G.
Rollie White Coliseum to produce
»ne of the best evenings of this
Jmung Town Hall season.
The Angelaires, five young ladies
playing five concert grand harps,
were the performers and approxi
mately 600 enthralled and attentive
persons were the spectators in the
third program this year.
The harp is a difficult instrument
at best, and multiplied five times
it would seem to pose gargantuan
problems to composer, ai'ranger
and performer alike. However the
Angelaires showed keen sense of
the limitations and advantages of
their instruments in picking the 17
numbers for their show.
They were decidedly at their best
in folk and classical numbers such
as a 16th centimy Spanish piece
called “Pavane” and a Spanish
dance by Granados, in which they
produced a guitar sound.
Also outstanding were two folk
tunes well suited for harps, “Green-
sleeves”, “O’Donnell A’Boo”, and a
Bach harpsichord suite, where the
similarity between this ancient in
strument and its namesake were
quite apparent.
Not so successful was “Mal-
aguena” which suffered from the
lack of the biting,' insistent attack
possible on a piano, and some more
modern compositions where ihythm
was important. The harp seems to
fail as a rhythm instrument.
The next regular Town Hall at
traction will be Feb. 6, when the
San Antonio Symphony Orchestra
will be presented.

Teams ? Strength
BY GARY ROLLINS
Battalion Sports Editor
The Texas Aggies, Number One team in the nation, jour
ney to the never-never land of Fayetteville, Ark. tomorrow
to make contact with the potent Porkers, rated Kith in the
nation.
Fayetteville on Homecoming Day has been compared
with Dante’s Inferno and Kyle Field on Turkey Day com
bined, due to the reaction of the rabid fans on seeing their
magnificent Porkers take the field—against anybody, but
especially against the Aggies.
Neither team is at full-strength, with the Cadets feeling
the effect of injuries and Arkansas feeling the effects of
Asiatic flu.
The Porkers have a very impressive record in confer
ence play, having played three games to the Aggies’ two.
They hold victories over Baylor and Texas Christian Univer
sities, the same as the Cadets.
However, they suffered a loss to the uprising Tex^is
Longhorns two weeks ago—in Fayetteville, 17-0, while the
Farmers hold a clean record, with no defeats.
The Aggies were last defeated by Arkansas in 1954,
bowing* by a score of 14-7 in Kyle Field. Two years ago, in
the Ozarks, the highly-touted Cadets eked out a 7-7 tie. Last
year was entirely different from the standard pattern,
though, for the Aggies completely humiliated the Porkers,
27-0.

Trick or Treat!
The ghost and goblin atmosphere of Hallo
ween last night saw many such scenes as
this when the spooky clad younger set
turned out to raid neighboring homes for
goodies, ringing doorbells and yelling “trick
or treat” when the owner answered. Most
College Station citizens joined the fun and
had treats awaiting the haunters.

Flu Not An Epidemic
Flames from the little brother of
the Texas Aggie Bonfire lit the
Consolidated High School campus
last night as the air exploded with
Tiger yells which opened the CHS
homecoming weekend.
The bonfire and yell practice
were a prelude to the Consolidated-
Cypress Fairbanks gridiron clash
tomorrow night, which will see the
homecoming queen crowned at half
time.
A homecoming throng of about
300 students, exes, faculty and par
ents gathered around the blazing
bonfire to yell and hear short talks
by Margaret Weedon, a yell leader
from the class of ’53; Garland
Andrews, one of last year’s Tiger
co-captains dnd CHS Coach Dick
Gardemal.
Tomorrow night is the second
district contest for the local team
and will be highlighted by the
crowning of the homecoming queen.
She will be elected by penny voting
done by College Station citizens..
Money jars for each candidate have
been placed in local business es
tablishments for the past week.
The money will be counted this
afternoon and the winner deter
mined.
The girl receiving the most
pennies will be 'crowned queen and
the two runners-up will be her
princesses.
Eight Consolidated High girls
are competing for the homecoming

Amateur barkers begin their

the Consolidated High School cam
pus as the 1957 CHS Band Carnival
gets underway.
Local service organizations and
high school students will sponsor
games, rides and booths of every
descidption, giving the carnival
comer a selection to fit his every
taste, Bill Gard, chairman of the
affair said.
The CHS Band Boosters Club is
sponsoring the event to raise
money for new uniforms, instru

activities throughout the year.
Food and drinks to fit all tastes
will also be offered at the carnival,
Gard said.
Flu is on the increase with
about 50 new cases being re
ported daily, Dr. C. R. Lyons,
College Hospital Supervisor,
said yesterday.
The flu is hitting primarily the
Civilian students, College View stu
dents and veterinary medicine stu
dents, said Dr. Lyons. The outbreak
hasn’t reached epidemic propor
tions as yet.
There are still plenty of beds
available in the hospital, since
most of the married students are
being cared for in their homes.
Lyons sees no chance for an ep
idemic, although there are twice
the normal number of patients in
the hospital at present. This time
the Corps as a whole is escaping
the outbreak, he said.

Vocalist Carmen McRae, with the
famous Ted Heath Orchestra and
the Hi-Lo’s are featured in a show
of top entertainment Tuesday night
at 8 in G. Rollie White Coliseum.
Miss McRae, the shapely Jamai
can songtress who recoi'ds on the
Decca label, is one of the top
female singers in America. She is
a star of radio and television and
has recently made her first motion
picture for Universal-International.
Known as the girl with “the
haunt in her voice,” Miss McRae
has cut many records—her best be
ing “Whatever Lola Wants” and
“Baby It’s Cold Outside.”
The Orchestra of Ted Heath, the
band from England which made
such a hit with Aggies here last
year, is considered by many critics
as the best jazz band in existence
today. The orchestra has starred
on radio, television, stage and
sci’een. Their greatest honor was
more than a month ago, taking a
toll of more than 2,000 Aggies out
of classes during its • duration.
Not only has A&M suffered
from the Asian flu “bug” this year,
but most other colleges and high
schools throughout the State as
well. Many high schools are still
closing down and cancelling foot
ball games due to epidemics of the
influenza.
Plenty of the influenza vaccine
is available at the college hospital
and any strident may obtain the
immunity shots for $1.
appearing at New York’s famous
Carnegie Hall on May 1, 1956. On
this occasion the band was lauded
with terrific applause.
Heath’s orchestra is made up of
some of England’s finest musicians
and should provide Aggies with
some outstanding music.
As for the Hi-Lo’s, Aggies can
expect a quartet that sings with a
rare and unique blend. Critics and
public alike feel that this brilliant
vocal group is one of the top acts
in show business.
The quartet has appeared on
television with such stars as Red
Skelton, Ray Bolger and Steve Al
len and has also appeared with
Ralph Marteirie’s Orchastra in a
motion picture for Universal-Intei*-
national.
Admission for the show is $2.50
for reserved seats, $2.00 for general
admission and $1.25 for students.
This is not a Town Hall show and
Town Hall tickets will not be
honored.
