seum.” It is the world’s largest
military band, the Aggie Band.
Band directors all over the
country have been known to stop,
stare and say aloud, “How I wish
my band could do that.”
A glimpse at the many con
tests held across the state this
year reveals that marching
techniques at variance with the
Aggie style are out of date to
day.
The Cadets’ formula for suc
cess is, however, anything but a
well-kept secret. The fact is that
complete mastery of the Aggie
technique is possible only in an
organization like the A&M Band.
Without p revious warning,
how many bands could assemble
their entire marching contingent
in formation with instruments
and music at any hour of the
day or night? Not many, to be
sure.
But a combination of obedi
ence, alertness and strict march
ing discipline combined with the
fact that the Aggie Band lives
together makes this possible in
the 240-piece organization.
One of the remarkable facts
about the band is that it exists
at an institution where there is
no school of music. No scouting
program is carried out by the
band’s director, Lt. Col. E. V.
Adams ,the band is continually
striving to maintain “military
dignity, with audience appeal.”
Practice, obedience and desire
go into making the cadets what
they ar-e. The band lives, works
and plays together, enabling
them to strive just that much
harder for those whom they
know the best.
Adjoining the four-story dor
mitory which houses the cadets
is an actual size football field
used exclusively to work out the
precision drills.
Since all members of the band
must also be members of the
A&M Corps of Cadets, uniforms
are not among problems the band
encounters. Band members wear
the only distinctive unit insignia
on the campus, the band lyre.
There are very few campus
events in which the band is not
an active participant. Not only
is the band present at football,
basketball and baseball contests,
but it provides musicians for
other organizations such as the
Aggieland Orchestra," drum and
bugle corps and the Silver Taps
team.

These — without anything' borrowed or blue —
can give to her Wedding Day the sure promise of
happiness.
Something old? A faith in God such as has been
the foundation of life for millions of Christians
before her. A simple conviction found in the reli
gious instruction she received as a child, nurtured
in regular worship at Church, ready to go with
her through the years.
Something new? A love for the one she has
consented to marry. A tender devotion that will
grow richer and deeper as they share the sunshine
and shadows of life.
With these two—the “something old” that lives
in her soul, and the “something new” that thrills
in her heart—she comes to her husband. And if he
comes to her bearing the same treasures, their
Carriage cannot fail!

THE CHURCH FOR All...
ALL FOR THE CHURCH
The Church is the greatest fac
tor on earth for the building of
character and good citizenship.
It is a storehouse of spiritual val
ues. Without a strong Church,
neither democracy nor civiliza
tion can survive. There are four
sound reasons why every person
should attend services regularly
and support the Church. They
are: (X) For his own sake. (2)
For his children’s sake. (3) For
the sake of his community and
nation. (4) For the sake of the
Church itself, which needs his
moral and material support.
Plan to go to church regularly
and read your Bible daily.

Mexican Wildlife Expeditior
Leaves For Summer Home
Three A&M students left Tues
day to spend the s u m m e r in a
small range of volcanic mountains
at the southern end of the Mexican
state of Veracruz, where they plan
to study and collect animals of the
region.
Heading the trio is Douglas
Robinson, a graduate student in
the Department of Wildlife Man
agement and veteran of several
summers in Mexico’s tropics.
Wildlife management majors
Maynard S. Burkhalter of Bryan
and Ellis V. Smith of College Sta
tion complete the threesome.
ROBINSON AND fellow stu
dents from A&M and other insti
tutions have been using the region,
which lies a few miles northwest
of the Yucatan Peninsula, since
1959 for a long-range biological
study.
The over-all aim of the project
is to interpret the biological his
tory of the region, explained Rob
inson. He feels the area is a prize
locality for the study of plants
and animals.
The area, known as “Los Tuxt-
las,” offers a variety of environ
ments within a relatively small
radius. Robinson mentioned moun
tains, marshes, jungle-like forests,
and streams.
Of particular interest to the trio
this summer will be a 5,000-foot
dormant volcano known as San
Martin. The Aggies plan to do
detailed work on three species of
frogs that live on the slopes of the
mountain.
RECORDS SHOW that Robin
son and associates have collected
more than 1,000 specimens of rep
tiles and amphibians from the
“Tuxtlas” region. A number of
other animals, including fish, birds,
The Texas Transportation Insti
tute here and the A&M Depart
ment of Civil Engineering have a
three-way program underway for
highway and traffic engineers.
Charles J. Keese, professor of
civil engineering and the insti
tute’s executive officer, said the
program involves teaching, re
search and service.
The teaching phase is an ex
panded graduate program in high
way and traffic engineering. Mas
ter of Science, Master of Engineer
ing and Doctor of Philosophy de
grees are awarded in areas affect
ing motor vehicle transportation.
Keese said the graduate pro
gram is administered primarily
within the Department of CiviJ En
gineering but is supported with
courses in electronic data process-
mammals, insects and crustaceans
have also been taken.
The three Aggies will live in the
town of San Andres Tuxtla, where
a laboratory is set up adjacent to
their apartment. Robinson plans to
set up a permanent camp on San
Martin where the students will
live in shifts while doing field
work.
ing, statistics, mathematics and re
lated areas.
In the research phase, assistant-
ships and fellowships are available
for qualified graduate students in
the expanded graduate highway
and traffic engineering program,
he said.
He said opportunities for field
studies and research are available
through co-operation with the Tex
as Highway Department and the
Bureau of Public Roads, enabling
students to keep abreast of the
latest highway and traffic engi
neering technologies.
Practicing engineers, the TTI of
ficial said, can take advantage of
an extensive program of short
courses, conferences and seminars
which feature up-to-date informa
tion and technology.
