Bonfire Success To Rest
On Work By Volunteers
It hasn’t started raining 1 yet, but bonfire time definitely
is near. Exactly one week from today the center pole will be
in place and every student will be called on for at least two
full days of work.
Never before has bonfire work been so rushed as it will
be during the next ten days. And never before will such
responsibility rest with each individual student. If this fall’s
blaze is to approach those of the past, almost perfect student
coordination and cooperation will be necessary.
Two factors account for the delay facing workers this
year. Next Friday all Corps students will be unable to work
because of the Convocation. Secondly, the fire will burn on
Tuesday and not Wednesday because the annual A&M-Texas
game is slated in Austin.
This will leave only three open days for work, and on one
of those days, Saturday, many students will be in Houston
for the Aggie-Rice grid match. Classes will not meet the
following Monday.
We feel the success or failure of the bonfire will be made
next week when juniors and seniors will be allowed to work
in the cutting area during free hours. This work will in
clude cutting initial wood and clearing the cutting area for
work crews that will follow on the main work weekend.
If enough wood has been cut to give stacking crews a
good start when stacking begins, much of the problem will
be solved. Equally important, of course, is the clearing of
the cutting area—^if work crews have no trouble gaining
access to the timber, all aspects of the project will move
much faster.
This much work may seem a great deal to ask of volun
teer juniors and seniors, but the task is there and someone
has to do it. Civilians also will be shouldering a great deal
of responsibility before mass work gets underway after the
Rice game—they too will have to produce substantially if any
degree of success is to be attained.
So far interest and cooperation have been promising and
there is no reason to expect unusuaEdifficulties. We have
all the faith in the world in the overall organization of work
for the bonfire, but just hope each individual worker realizes
his responsibilities and how much success or failure can rest
on his very actions.
If each student contributes his share of toil with this
in mind, Aggies need not worry about the success of this
fall’s bonfire.

“ . . . You’ve really gotta be ‘gung-ho’ to sleep with your
spurs on!”
Editor,
The Battalion:
Our catalog states that “the
Town Hall Series includes the
best obtainable artists in the
fields of music, dance and thea
ter.” But if we, the paying cus
tomers, don’t like the presenta
tions, can they actually be con
sidered “the best?”
No doubt Leonard Bernstein is
a very talented writer, composer
and conductor, but he and his
group looked awfully lonely in
G. Rollie White Coliseum. The
show was attended by far less
than 10 per cent of the student
body, and quite a few of the peo
ple that did show up left before
the end of the performance.
We don’t believe that this is
the first Town Hall presentation
that has had so little popular ap
peal. The Ballet Russe de Monte
Carlo and the San Antonio Sym
phony Orchestra had a similar
turnout, if our memory serves us
correctly.
Admittedly, these shows might
be good for the cultural develop
ment of the stuaents at A&M.
But if so few of them attend,
why can’t we hear people like
Burl Ives or Joan Baez or Dave
Brubeck or some country music
or the Four Preps? We believe
that these groups would pay for
themselves, even if the people in
Bryan didn’t attend.
Why can’t an informal poll
be taken of average students be
fore next year’s program is made
up, and make more of an effort
to find out just exactly what
kind of program we want to see.
Let’s see if we can get someone
down here who will entertain a
majority of the students, rather
than just a few.

At first g-lance this year’s Campus Chest drive appears’"
to have been a miserable failure—but there’s more to the
story than meets the eye.
Every worker connected with the drive realized from the
start that the $8,000 goal—$1 from each student—could not
possibly be reached. Their feeling, and one The Battalion
endorses, was that if anything was to be sought, why not
try for a perfect record?
Up to the present, $1,750 has been collected, with more
Corps units and civilian dormitories expected to make late
donations. This figure compares favorably with collection
totals of past drives and is certainly nothing that anyone
needs to hang his head about.
Last year, approximately $2,500 was collected in a near
record drive. On very few other occasions has more than
$2,000 been amassed.
Most encouraging, however, is that this year’s $1,750
is an adequate figure to handle the year’s expected expendi
tures. This fact alone should be enough to ease a great deal
of disappointment.
