Page 4 College Station, Texas Thursday, July 23, 1964 THE BATTALION UPSIDE DOWN MOVIES ANYONE? Running Movies In Grove Amusing And Trying Ordeal By MICHAEL LaVALLE Special Writer Have you ever been asked for an “iceless” snowcone ? How many times have you watched a movie being shown upside down and backward ? These and other such instances are part of a night’s work to the students who operate the Grove, the outdoor movie theater on the A&M University campus. Blanchard LeNoir, student man ager, has worked at the Grove since 1951. “We have had our share of amusing and trying inci dents,” said LeNoir. “Last summer,” LeNoir com mented, “we (the student workers at the Grove) all but adopted a family for three months. Every night four children were left here while their mother and father went to study in the library. “The old ‘Tom Sawyer fence painting routine’ comes in handy every now and then,” LeNoir said. “We get boxes folded for our pop corn concession this way and you’d be surprised how many small boys (and Aggies)) we have wanting to fold these things.” Ranger, a bulldog who has be come a semi-official mascot to many students, is a frequent visitor to the Grove. John Hyman, ac counting graduate from Houston, said that Ranger is one of the steadiest customers he has for snow-cones. “Ranger comes to the back door of the concessions booth and waits for me to give him a cup of ice with a little syrup in it,” said Hyman. “Then he strolls out into the crowd to watch the movie.” One thing that Ranger, and he audience, dislikes is the train which roars past the Grove every other night, usually right in the middle of the movie. “When that train whistle cuts loose,” said Jim Nixon, Industrial Education graduate stu dent, “so does Ranger.” Usually times such as when the train drowns out the sound or when a particularly “spicy” part comes up in the movie are the only time that the crowd gets noisy. “We try to operate with as little discipline as possible,” commented Wallace Johnston, student director of the Student Programs Office. “However, if the projectionist gets hit by a snow-cone when the film breaks or if the crowd gets too noisy or vulgar, then we have to calm them down.” LeNoir said, “We try to let the Aggies enjoy themselves as much as possible, but we do have an obligation to the general public to keep the boys in hand. So far this year we have been lucky enough to have everything pretty quiet.” The Grove represents a twofold opportunity for summer students. First there are good movies at a reasonable price and second it is an excellent chance to observe an interesting crowd in action. A Summer To Remember U. S. Army ROTC Cadet John R. Warren, student and member of the Corps of Cadets at A&M, executes a verti cal butt stroke on the bayonet training- course at Fort Sill. Warren is one of approximately 1800 ROTC cadets attend ing the 1964 six weeks camp at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. Rainfall Differs In Similar Spots Tropical American places almost within eyesight of each other have annual rainfall totals differing by hundreds of inches. Why? Three A&M University faculty members leave Saturday to collect additional data from Central and South America as a step toward eventual better understanding of the complexities of tropical rain fall. “You have to determine what’s happening before you can explain it,” Assistant Professor Walter K. Henry said. He and Instructor L. Glenn Cobb are headed south for the third summer and Assistant Professor John F. Griffiths is going for his second summer to gather data for the Army Signal Corps- sponsored project. The three faculty members will travel individually to cover the greatest amount of territory pos sible before returning here about Aug. 16. They will revisit Central American nations in hopes of fill ing in some “blanks” and will be doing their first work in five nations of northern South America. “We are something like detec tives,” Henry said of their data gathering efforts. He describes the people as “most cooperafe;! general.” Governmental agencies, fair.; and ranchers, lumber compai® mining firms and others ha* has bei helped the A&M researditu Central American farmers, ja ^ as ' c * like those in Texas, often Minis weather records for many yeas Great cooperation and wife standing is needed in man’s effe to understand the secrets of to, ical weather. The A&M researchers also pa; out that within less than a tlm sand miles on the Pacific coasts South America are the woili wettest equatorial region and it driest coastal area. Rainfall averages more than}) inches annually in one area, wli in the Peruvian coastal desert may rain only once in four year “And on the Colombian Mast Cobb points out, “one area has li inches of rain while only 50 mil! inland the average is 314 inck The difference in elevation is or. 190 feet.” The A&M researchers lun gathered data by searching litem ture and by visiting widely in fe countries.

ALL FOR THE CHURCH The Church is the greatest factor on earth for the build ing of character and good citizenship. It is a storehouse of spiritual values. Without a strong church, neither democracy nor civilization can survive. There are four sound reasons why every person should attend services regularly and support the church. They are: (1) For his own sake. (2) For his chil dren’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. Forty-three acres! How long we labored, hoping someday to add it to our modest farm. Good bottom land . . . with a grove for the children to play in, a stream with an oY swimmin’ hole, and rich soil just begging for the plow. Now it’s ours! A great moment. . . full of promise . . . frought with challenge. Sort of like that moment a few years ago when Peg and I became members of the congregation. Before that the church had been simply a familiar scene along the border of our lives. Suddenly it became our church. And there was that deep sense of partnership with God . . . full of promise . . . frought with challenge. There is such an abundant harvest of blessing and happiness to be reaped in life ... if a man yearns for the best, and claims it for his own, and is ready to put his hand to the plow.
