: 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.’ ”

Tree Spells Spirit For 5 Maggies
geles City College, Marvin In
gram with Bruce at U.C.L.A.
“It was ridiculous,” says Glen.
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.”

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.

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
