NEW STEREO SOUND
Aggieland Orchestra Ready
X
For Active Spring Semester
By TOMMY HOLBEIN
The versatile Aggieland Orches
tra, after a semester of prepara
tion and, practice, is ready for an
active Spring, according to Robert
L. Boone, college music coordina
tor.
i|| Meeting regularly each week for
at least a two-hour rehearsal, the
16-piece group has developed a
“sound of its own” that provides
good dance music for almost any
occasion.
“We play all styles of music—
jazz, contemporary, polkas, walzes
—the works!” said Boone. “This
year, we have been able to work
up a large number of big band ar
rangements, including some by
\£>tan Kenton, Harry James and
Les Elgart.”
“Our regular rehearsals have
had a lot to do with our improve
ment over the sound of the orches
tra in years past, and the group
has had a large number of com
pliments from various people who
have sat in on our rehearsals and
heard our music,” Boone added.

C’mon, Dick! You’re rationaliz

have secured you against the
Emperor 2 . But it certainly would
have provided snug protection
against the physical stresses and
strains of your active life. Your
armorer never tailored a coat of
mail more knowingly than Jockey
tailors a brief—from 13 separate,
body-conforming pieces.
1. Other “imitation” briefs (copies of the
original Jockey brand) have no more
Jockey support than a limp loin cloth.

The fact that members of the
group are playing well and pro
ducing quality music has been a
deciding factor in the moral of the
group, said the music director.
“The boys work hard for a good
sound, and you can’t ask for more
than that, especially when they
achieve it like they’ve been able
to this year,” said Boone.
Morale in the group dropped
somewhat after hearing the North
Texas State Lab Band last week,
and comments like, “Anyone want
to buy a used horn?” were heard
murmuring among the members.
But a sample explanation that
members of the North Texas band
are all music majors who spend at
least six hours a day playing their
instruments in comparison to the
past-time that music is with mem
bers of the Aggieland orchestra
was all that was needed for things
to resume to normal.
Even though it is a past-time,
many of the members help defray
college expenses through money
earned played in the orchestra,
said Boone.
Each Christmas the Aggieland
Orchestra travels over the state
playing for various dances spon
sored by A&M Clubs; this last
Christmas holiday season, they
were booked in Beaumont on Dec.
26, and Corpus Christi on Dec. 27.
Boone said these engagements
were carried over, and the group
will be booked at these two places
again this coming Christmas.
The orchestra will be featured
at the Intercollegiate Talent Show
March 10, with full stereo equip
ment similar to that used by Ray
Conniff in his concert here last
November.

its publication, “University Re-
Floods Continue
To Ravage South
By The Associated Press
Drenched flood victims lined up
for federal disaster relief in some
of the South’s hardest-hit cities
Tuesday, while downstream towns
still waited for the full force of
the surging rivers to reach them.
Receding waters cast up the
body of another flood victim at
Hattiesburg, Miss., where about
1,000 persons applied for emergen
cy clothing and other aid.
More than a dozen persons have
lost their lives since a week of
torrential rains pushed swollen riv
ers out of their banks in Georgia,
Alabama, Mississippi and Louisi
ana.
About 17 tons of surplus food
was ordered shipped to Alabama’s
capital city, Montgomery. Resi
dents there have been taking ty
phoid shots and boiling their drink
ing water since flood waters seeped
into the city reservoir.
Farther downstream on the Ala
bama River, the Red Cross set
up 2,000 emergency refugee shel
ters at Selma, where all hut two
highways were closed by rising
waters. Only two roads were open
to Montgomery because of col
lapsed bridges and flood waters.
Georgia’s Gov. Ernest Vandiver
appealed to President Kennedy to
extend federal disaster relief—al
ready granted for Alabama and
Mississippi—to flooded west Geor
gia cities along the Chattahoochee
and Flint Rivers.
The Weather Bureau had the
best news for the soaked South
land when a forecast of further
heavy rains failed to materialize.
The predicted new deluge “just
went away, thank heavens,” a
weatherman said.
Warm sunshine, with only scat
tered rainfall, covered most of the
stricken area.
Alabama estimated its highway
damage alone at $1 million, Gov.
John Patterson said.
The Weather Bureau said the
Alabama River, which curls south
west across the state, was setting
record flood crests all the way to
about halfway between Montgom-
the Gulf of Mexico. Claiborne,
ery and the gulf city of Mobile,
was expected to get a crest more
than 15 feet above flood stage in
a few days.

try to give a boost to one of the
South’s biggest economic assets.
Excerpts from the publication
follow:-
“At A&M plant physiologists
had long studied the water require
ments of growing plants. Basic
research into J’oot systems, circu
lation and photosynthesis gave a
store-house of knowledge about a
tree’s requirements for life.
“Basie research in genetics pro
vided knowledge of inherited char
acteristics in trees and how these
desirable characteristics could be
passed from one generation to an
other.
“Using this basic information,
scientists at A&M may some day
turn some two million acres of
sandy, post oak land into potential
commercial forest areas. They
have developed a drought-resistant
loblolly pine which will grow to
maturity with 25 per cent less rain
fall than is normally considered
necessary. These pines will grow
in certain areas of the post oak
belts west of today’s commercial
pine forest belt.” \
