Cadets Rumble Past Bears
Broussard Tops
Scoring Record
The Texas Aggie Cagers ended their home season in
G. Rollie White last night as they handed the Baylor Bears
a 90-69 defeat.
Carroll Broussard paced the Cadet win with his 27 points
and copped his eleventh A&M scoring record. He now has
564 points in 13 games, which broke the old record of 540
set by Neil Swisher in 1959.
Don Stanley was second high for the Aggies with his
22 points followed by brother Pat with 16.
Baylor led in the opening minutes of play as they scored
the first' foal, but Pat Stanley quickly put A&M out front
with a jump shot and a free throw. From there the Aggie
Ballet Group
To Perform
In Town Hall
Town Hall will present the
famed American Ballet Theater
Thursday. As a national company
of international prestige the Amer
ican Ballet Theater will be coming
to A&M for the second time.
The company recently returned
from a six-week tour of Russia
during which it gave 35 perform
ances before an estimated 118,000
Russians. This total excluded tele
vision audiences.
The Russian tour was the fourth
tour that the American Ballet
Company has made under the aus
pices of the U.S. State Depart
ment. In these four tours the com
pany has given 412 performances
in 37 countries before over a mil
lion persons.
In their 1961 repertory the
American Ballet Company is offer
ing 18 classical and contemporary
ballets. These will include one
world premiere and three new bal
lets. Being presented in its world
premiere in this year’s tour is the
jazz ballet entitled “Points on
Jazz”. The music for this Ballet
was written by Dave Brubeck and
is the realization of a 20-year-old
ambition.
The three ballets which the com
pany is presenting for the first
time on tour are the “Lady From
the Sea,” “Miss Julie” and “Glazu
nov Variation,” a pas de dix.
Conducting the American Ballet
Theatre will be Kenneth De Witt
Schermerhorn.
lead soared and at times it
could hardly have been called
a contest.
During the first 10 minutes
of play, it was mostly Stan
leys vs. Baylor as the twins from
Buna dropped in 15 points between
them.
But, what happened in G. Rollie
White couldn’t hold a candle to
the outcome in Houston as Rice
upset league-leading Texas Tech,
95-91, in an overtime.
If Tech had won this one, they
could have started having their
name engraved on the Southwest
Conference basketball trophy.
Probably the decisive factor in
the Tech-Rice clash was Tech’s
loss of Del Ray Mounts with five
minutes left in the first half.
Mounts injured his head in a col
lision with Rice’s Roger McQueary.
Several stitches had to be taken
before Mounts returned to the
game six minutes deep in the sec
ond half, and he only managed 13
points for the night.
However, Rice went into the
game injury-riddled as Buster Sul
livan had a broken nose and Steve
Smith was playing with a broken
finger.
In the other two conference
games played last night, Arkansas
defeated Southern Methodist, 88-
82 in an overtime and Texas edged
Texas Christian, 79-77.
Now the outcome of the SWC
won’t be known until Friday night.
Still in contention is A&M, Tech
and Arkansas.
Texas will play Tech in Lubbock
and Arkansas hosts A&M in the
hills. If Texas beats Tech and
A&M beats Arkansas, the confer
ence will end up in a tie between
the Aggies and Tech.

Degree Filing
Deadline Set
Tomorrow
Tomorrow is the deadline for
any .student completing require
ments for a degree at the end of
this semester to make application
for the degree. This includes both
graduate and undergraduate de
grees.
Applications should be made in
the Registrar’s Office.
H. L. Heaton, registrar and di
rector of admissions, emphasized
in a letter to department heads
that all students are required to
make application for degrees. He
said that this was in addition to
any procedure that may be ex
pected of them by the Graduate
Dean’s Office.
Heaton said that in the past,
graduate students have not under
stood that they too are required
to make application for degrees.

A list of ten acts from eight

mittee.
The acts contracted for the per

a group of four men from the
Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity;
Sandra Chuddy, also of LSU, a
vocalist and multi-winner in beau
ty contests;
The Jokers of LSU, a variety
music group that will be appear
ing for the third consecutive year;
Johnny Knowles, a guitarist
from TCU;
Clyde Bateman, a vocalist from
Texas Tech;

impressive background.

Jersey, Miss Centennial of LSU,
the LSU Homecoming queen, Miss
Somerset County (N.J.), Miss
Wildwood Beach (N.J.) and the
LSU Gumbo Beauty for the past
three years.
The Aggieland Orchestra, under
the direction of Robert L. Boone,

City To Determine
Underpass Costs
By BOB SLOAN
The certainty of a four-lane railroad underpass in Col
lege Station advanced another step Monday night at a meet
ing of the College Station City Council.
At the meeting, attended by representatives of the Texas
Highway Department and the Bry--t : : ~ —
an-College Station Chamber of
Coihmerce, the Council voted to
“immediately” determine the cost
to the city of furnishing the right
of way for the project.
In the motion, Councilman Bill
Smith proposed the City hire a
professional property appraiser to
determine the value of the property
the city would have to buy for the
right of way. The city will also
determine the cost of changes in
any city-owned utilities.
After the approximate price of
the underpass to the city has been
determined, the City Council will
meet with the Brazos County Com
missioner’s Court “in an attempt
to arrive at proportionate costs of
this right of way procurement.”
The Council said the work of
appraising the property and meet
ing with the County Commission
ers could be accomplished within
the next two weeks. This would
not seriously hamper efforts to
begin construction of the under
pass, they said.
Mayor Pro-Tern Joe Orr remind
ed the Council that the City had
agreed to furnish the right of way
for such a project to the High
way Department in February of
1957.
Joseph McLain, Senior Resident
Engineer for the Highway Depart
ment said a tentative outline had
been presented to the Council in
1957, but no specific details had
been presented.
“We did not know exactly what
would be needed in the way of
