CADET SLOUCH

TopEn tertainment
Something no-one can deny: entertainment at A&M has
been on the upswing! No longer can students legitimately
cry out that the campus is dead or lacking anything decent in
the way of high-quality entertainment.
During the past semester and a half, the campus has
been a show-place for celebrities—some of the world’s top
entertainment specialists have performed on the stages of
G. Rollie White Coliseum and Guion Hall.
Take the past three weeks as an example: Aggie au
diences have seen top collegiate talent at ITS, Broadway
musical stars in “The Music Man.” Jose Greco and his Spanish
Ballet and local fine arts talent in “Theatre of Man” Sunday.
Tomorrow and Friday nights, the world’s greatest flamen
co guitarist will perform at Town Hall—Carlos Montoya. As
the sparkling parade of stars continues through the year,
and as more people take advantage of the programs, perhaps
the days when A&M was thought of as a wasteland, enter
tainment-wise, will be forgotten. At least, they should!

Editor,
The Battalion:
Do you think it would be a
good idea to start a student bowl
ing team at your school ? This
team could compete with other
Southwest Conference schools and
perhaps a SWC bowling league
could be established.
It seems to me that bowling
is just as much a team and in
dividual sport as tennis, golf
basketball, football and so forth.
With bowling’s tremendous ac
ceptance by the American public,
I think it might be a good idea
for someone to explore the possi
bilities of forming a school bowl
ing team which would play other
schools.
Perhaps some organization
would be willing to explore the
idea. Maybe a faculty bowling
team might be formed to play
other faculty teams at SWC
schools. What do you think ?

Placement Office
Editor,
The Battalion:
We wo'uld like to take this op
portunity to express our sincere
appreciation for the services Mrs.
Palmer, Mrs. Sellers, Mrs. Bis
hop, and Mr. W. H. Horsley of
the Placement Office in the YM
CA Building render each year to,
all graduating seniors seeking
professional employment. Their
efforts make it possible for each
senior to seek the type of em
ployment that suits his interest
and background without the in
convenience of voluminous cor
respondence with numerous com
panies.
The effort of these individuals
in arranging complex schedules,
securing reference letters, com
piling personal folders, as well
as the many other varied tasks
they perform, is to often over
looked or taken for granted. Cer
tainly the continuance of tkis
service is very worthwhile and
for the benefit of all concerned.
