This group of 46 students from school where there is no formal lusic depai-tment pursues this ac- gvity without recognition, for the ; cultureaBspiration they get from it. Un- dy s ti; jdi r these circumstances the ulti- ;tection a late in choral niceties is not made a sacred cow, but let it not be liought that on the other hand Mere is no vocal discipline or re- jnement of interpretation. I The program contained a bit of ity agried Merything. There were show ne for tT:B nes > as “Say It With Music” and NB hit from “South Pacific”; the if Mr. a , :B 1 ’h e r shop quartet in a senti- ; on ofH™ en t a l mood; westerns such as te mcthciffhisholm Trail” and “Colorado ,1 i n j^kBrail”; spirituals, real and simu- “TUttii < B tec * : tunes and mountain s a mV nes ’ an< ^ an “Easter Anthem.” TNor was the classical neglected. In Stilly Night” by Brahms was lone with understanding. It may le a surprise to many to know Mat one of Brahms’ professional ■ctivities was directing a men’s |nging organization. The musical conscience and loyal Spirit of the group evidently de rive from the director, Robert L. ■oone, who came up through the lublic school music field, and who n his own right is a vocalist of uperior gifts.

VI 6-5672. 106tfn choral performance is according to the best standards. Boone as a soloist gave “Maria.” “Song of the Open Road” with fine resonance, a big rousing tone and convincing delivery. One of the indispensable assets of the group is its accompanist, Mrs. June 'Biering. Here is not a brash teenager. She will not mind if we suggest that she may be a grandmother. But do not be misled. Here is fire, natural technical facility on the piano key board and creative musicianship which assures that, though she played from score, about two- thirds of the notes were her own creation. It is a gift, and valu able. Probably the most impressive portion of the program were the patriotic numbers, sung with a conviction which was reassuring. There were “Battle Hymn of the Republic,” “Paul Revere’s Ride,” in which diction in varied tempos was remarkable, and “Texas, Our Texas,” of which the group has' made one of the most effective recordings on their own record disk. The program closed with the final section of Randall Thomp son’s “Testment of Freedom,” which is a setting or chorus of passages from the writings of Thomas Jefferson. This fourth section closes with this declara tion; “The God who gave us life gave us liberty at the same time; the hand of force may destroy, but not disjoin them.” For the singing of the “Fight Song,” seven former singing ca dets were called from the audience to come forward and join, which they did with a will. Mclllieran Chosen To Attend Ad Week Colyar Mclllieran, senior jour nalism major, has been named as one of the nation’s top 100 adver tising students and is attending “Inside Advertising Week,” ending tomorrow in New York City. Last month Mcllheran was picked to represent A&M in New York after being declared the out standing graduating senior in ad vertising at A&M. fHE BATTALION Thursday, April 26, 1962 College Station, Texas Page 5 WHITELEY (Continued From Page 1) this area. The Nuclear Science Center was established to fill the need in this vital field of study. And only recently the Maritime Academy was established to train marine transportation and engi neering officers. Now Have Courses For Space And as we enter the space age A&M is offering courses in space technology to train engineers in this important field. These are only a few of the changes that have occurred in the past 15 or 16 years. But they show that A&M can change and has chang ed to meet the needs of the peo ple of Texus. I feel confident that A&M will make even great er changes in the next 15 years. But these changes have occur red in the past. What about the future? The material offered in the courses that are taught will change! it will become more advanced. Due to the amount of knowledge that has accumulated in the past, it will be necessary for the college to receive better trained students from our high schools. These students, in order to finish college in four or five years, will have to know more when they enter college than some of us knew when we were sophomores or juniors in college. The college will need to have our support in order to bring this a- bout. We must demand for our children the best possible train ing in grade school and high school. Our support in this area will help the college to do a much better job in teaching our child ren. There will be changes in the ratio of graduate students to undergraduates. The ratios be tween agricultural, engineering and liberal arts students will change. These changes will be in fluenced by the law of supply and demand and by the calibre of student that A&M graduates. If A&M is to grow and take its proper place in the education al system of Texas, it must make changes in policy so that it can fulfill its obligations to the peo ple of Texas. The administrative officers, the staff and the facul ty are fulfilling their roles in the development of ' our school. What is the role of the former students in this development? This is difficult to define.

Those of us who have sons want them to come to A&M to find the same types of friendships and fellowships and to experience the great tra ditions that have become a part of the student life. All of these things are fine, but we also want our sons to get the finest possi ble education. This will be possible only if the administrative officers, the facul ty and the staff cooperate. We as ex-students can play a vital role in helping them do their jobs by giving them the support they need. How can we accomplish this? First, we can give to the Development Fund. You are all familiar with this fund and the many fine uses it has had in the past. Second, we can give our time to work for the good of A&M. This means that we give of our best when asked to perform a service. Third, we must sell A&M by promoting the college at every opportunity. We must tell other people about the fine job that the school is doing even though we may not like some of the policies of the college. A&M cannot fufill its role in the educational system of Texas without the support and good will of the people of Texas. We need to tell again and again the dynam ic story of its accomplishments. Through the decades, Texans’ good will toward and assistance to A&M has been tremendous. The net balance in the bank of public good will is still high. But time may run out on us one of these years. We >need to mobilize all of our resources promptly behind an ef fective public relations program. I don’t mean that we should open a public relations office. We simple need to tell the story of A&M to friends and acquaint ances in a sincere, simple and straightforward manner. Fourth, and this, I think, is the most important part of our role as ex-students, we need to support the decision of the admini strative officers. Changes that are made by the Board of Di rectors, the chancellor, the presi dent and the deans of the colleges are to be accepted. Changes have always been made in the policies under which A&M has operated. Without these changes under the able administrations of such men as Ross, Walton, Gilchrist, Bolton, Rudder and Harrington, A&M could not have achieved its place of greatness in the educa tional system of Texas. These men and the Boards of Directors under which they served were faced and will be faced with many decisions, some of them that will chart new courses for A&M. These will be bold steps to prepare the college for its place in the future. We as ex-students must take our place and give the college the support it needs. In these next few years of crises let us be able to say as the Apos tle Paul said to Timothy, “I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.” WANTED SUMMER COUNSELORS Leading Eastern Boys Ranch Over 19 years of age, must have thorough knowledge of horse manship and be able to teach riding, care of horses, camping experience desirable but not essential.
