1 j Money No Pro blem ^or 4 Collegians I By TIM E. LANE Special Writer : onunettf When a student is working his elds way through college, what should m ple fot he do if his job gradually begins Congtfi to conflict with his studies ? ivil rigl;! In 1958, Glen, Marvin, Ed, and il nation:' Bruce, many Aggies and ‘ students everywhere, were having pered J ‘ a hard time working their way questis^through c °lle&e. Unlike most col- 3 of ad lege students, however, Glen, Marvin, Ed, and Bruce weren’t ressed for money. That was he trouble. As a singing group that had started singing for fun at proms, these four college stu dents regularly cut classes to fly from Los Angeles to anywhere in the United States to make thousands of dollars in a couple bf hours. \J ] These college students, two »• journalism majors, a political sci ence major, and a chemistry maj or, suddenly counting over a mil lion sales of their second record, ‘26 Miles.” “The only trouble,” says Bruce Belland, who attended IJ.C.L.A., “was that some of the profs refused to believe that 44 :uts in one class in a semester were justified by our group being lamed ‘Most Vocal Group of 1958.’ ” All of the Preps tried to con tinue with their studies, Glen Larson and Ed Cobb at Los An- m a* . m.

It was bad enough that I was absent so often that I never knew when quizzes were coming off. But sometimes I would even for get which course I was taking! Eventually I suppose I might have turned up in a class in the wrong college.” Glen, Ed, and Bruce withdrew from college within a year after signing with Capitol Records late in 1957. However, Marvin was determ ined to have both slices of cake. By carefully selecting his courses, interviewing instructors for their views on absenteeism and make up work and rigidly disciplining himself to study on planes, in hotels, and in dressing rooms, he not only received his bachelor’s degree, but also posted the 3.5 grade average he needed to enter law school. “I don’t know when I’ll be able to got to law school,” he says, “I know that I can’t make it through law school attending 40 per cent of the class meetings as I did as an undergraduate.” Despite the conflict between their career and their college plans, the Four Preps feel quite at home touring colleges around the country and usually make friends on which ever campus they happen to be playing. The Preps were especially im pressed with the friendliness of the Aggies. “It’s amazing,” says Bruce, “I was just standing there in the hall and this guy comes up, sticks his hand out, and says, ‘Howdy, my name’s so-and-so.’ I shook hands with him and said, ‘I’m Bruce Belland, with the Four Preps.’ The guy said, ‘Glad to meet you, Mr. Preps,’ and went right on.” Will the Four Preps’ career ever let them return to college? “Certainly,” says Glen, “Some times five of them in a week in five different states.” By MICHAEL REYNOLDS Day News Editor What role are girls now play ing at A&M and what role will they play in years to come? Five Maggies went after a log for the Aggies bonfire Sunday in an effort to show the rest of the school that girls at A&M can, and intend to be a part of the student life. Pam Adams, Marijane Beasley, Connie Simmons, Joyce Benson and Ann Seward hacked, chopped, sawed, puffed, pushed and yelled when the 50 ft. tree crashed to the ground. The girls expressed in words and actions that the Spirit of Aggieland is contagious and men are not the only ones that sur- come to the malady. “The reason we did it is that we are crazy about A&M. We don’t want to be left out of things just because we are girls. We are just as gung-ho as anybody,” said Miss Seward, sophomore English major. The biggest fear that the girls expressed was that the male stu dents would hold their efforts against them. “There are some students here that just don’t like us and don’t mind telling us,” said Miss Sew ard. The girls believe that the log is just one of many ways in which they can boost the Ag gie team. Football signs are the open expression, but a female spirit organization is the whisp ered hope. Tradition however, is also their goal. “I certainly don’t want to hurt the traditions of A&M,” contin ued Miss Seward. “I love the Corps of Cadets and don’t want to see it go to pot. I sure don’t want female Yell Leaders and women in the Aggie Band.” A desire for full coeducation was expressed by the girls, yet they fear that if it comes too fast, it will destroy the tradi tions that they are so interested in boosting. At the same time, they feel that coeducation would help A&M as a university. “The enrollment is down in the undergraduate school. I believe that more girls would cause more men to come to the school be cause they don’t like an all male school. Eventually, I believe that girls would open up more de partments in the school,” said Miss Simmons. “I believe that as soon as the school goes full coed, then the College of Arts and Sciences should be widened in scope to at tract the average girl. Making the Department of Home Econo mics would be a good start,” said Miss Adams. Many profs have welcomed the girls for their becalming effect on men. “My English professor asked me if I was married and then he told me that I would be very welcome and I should bring some of my friends,” commented Miss Simmons. CS Woman Named County Chairman Of Christmas Seals Mrs. D. W. Williams of College Station, has been selected as the chairman for the 1964 Christ mas Seal Campaign, according to an announcement by Mrs. H. H. Williamson, president of the board of directors of the Brazos County Tuberculosis Association. The campaign, which opens on Nov. 16, will provide funds for the voluntary tuberculosis and other respiratory diseases control program in Brazos County. Following the announcement of her selection, Mrs. Williams said, “Although it may seem early, we are starting immediately to or ganize the Christmas Seal Cam paign. The Christmas Seal mail ap peal is the only means the TB Association has of raising funds to carry on its program to eradi cate TB and control other respira tory diseases according to Mrs. Williams. For your convenience Loupots will be open every Wednesday 'till 8 p. m. Three of the five girls felt that they were in a very advanta geous position concerning dating. They also felt that dating men who knew each other so well did have its problems. “We really have to be careful what we do on a date because word gets around so well. I get embarrassed sometimes over all the attention that I get, but I really love it,” said Miss Adams. “None of the girls that I know are tied down. They would be fools to be,” added Miss Adams. Two of the girls expressed interest in pursuing campus poli tics. “The girls should partici pate in the Student Conference on National Affairs. I think we might get a girl on the Student Senate. It would not be neces sary for us to run for one of the present offices, but possibly the constitution could be changed to permit representative,” said Miss Adams. “I love speaking to everyone. We yell gig ’em at the men all the time and they just think we are silly. Why can’t they yell gig ’em back. We are just as much an Aggie as they are, con cluded Miss Seward. And true Aggies they are, or at least they are trying hard to be the best Maggies possible. WE’VE A LONG WAY TO GO . ..
