H. Cof- field of Rockdale, chairman of the board, said. Figures furnished by Dr. George Beto, director of the prison system, showed profits from the show rose from $72,271 in 1962 to $117,651 this year. The money goes into a health, education and recreation fund for the system’s 12,000 prisoners. By JAY FERGUSON Special Writer After nearly six hours of un expected, nerve-racking practice sessions and dress rehearsals, the A&M “College Bowl” team Sun day was defeated 155-150 by Ripon College in the last 20 seconds of their match on NBC’s “General Electric College Bowl.” According to Dr. Harry P. Kroitor, associate professor of English and coach of the Aggies, the A&M team, composed of Cal vin C. Simper, Lawrence Kelmin- son, John A. Schmidt and Bobby L. Limmer, showed an obvious super iority over the Ripon team in all of the practice sessions and dress rehearsals. In one of the dress rehearsals, said Kroitor, the A&M team won by more than 400 points. , “The people in the studio and the audience were amazed and gasping at the Texans’ brillance,” said Kroitor. “There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that our boys were considerably superior to the Ripon team,” said Kroiter. After arriving in New York City by jet from Houston Friday night, the Aggies “bedded down” at their hotel, the Savoy Hilton. Saturday after breakfast, the team took in some sight-seeing before they met Kroiter for dinner. After dinner, Kroitor and the team attended Edward Albee’s “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” at the Billy Rose Theater. The play, which was the winner of the New York Drama Critics Award as Best Play of the 1962-63 season, was a shocker, satirizing our inability to face realities. The drilling of the two teams be- 1 gan at approximately noon Sunday and continued almost without in terruption until showtime. The live television show was compos ed of two nine-minute periods in which the clock never stopped. The A&M team jumped off to an early lead and was never top ped until the final question was asked. At that time, the Aggies were leading 150-145. The last question was worth 10 points and spelled defeat for the Aggies. For their appearance on the show, A&M received a $500 schol arship for the school. Numerous telephone calls and telegrams from all the United States have been received congrat ulating the team on their effort, Kroitor said.

STUDENTS AIDING in the selections were Paul Dresser, Corps Commander; Harlan Rob erts, Student Senate President; Howard Head, MSC Council Presi dent; Richard Moore, Civilian Stu dent President, and Jeff Harp, Civilian Student vice president. Dean of Students James P. Han nigan said Monday, ‘I feel we have a very fine group this year. The selection committee worked very hard to select this group. In fact, this committee stayed up past 1 p.m. one night making the final selection.” STUDENTS NAMED to Who’s Who will be honored in a special national publication honoring out standing students from colleges and universities in all parts of the United States. “It is a tremendous job to decide on just 37 students from as large a student body as we have,” Han nigan added. Of all the qualifications, schol astic achievement is perhaps the most stressed.

The process, in volving the tying up of needed vehicles, is slow since old paint has to be removed before application of the new decal. All departments still lacking the new decal on their vehicles are urged to make an-angements with B&U to assure final completion of the task.
