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

Central American farmers, ja ^ as ' c *
like those in Texas, often Minis

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.

OUR
NEW
LAND
THE CHURCH FOR ALL...
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.

GREAT CHEFS
TEMPERAMENTAL?
We can’t realty say if they’re
all temperamental... but we
know about the chef at
Ramada Inn! His disposition
is so miserable ... his voice
so loud and abusive — if his
food wasn't so spectacular
he’d be out of work tomorrow!
Temperamental isn’t the word
for him. But the way he pre
pares a steak! Easily angered?
Salads like you’ve dreamed
of! Mean and sassy? Well, we
didn't hire him because he
was a nice guy.
