LVAGE TA 2-060) nces, Bedding, AUSTIN (JP) — By mutual consent, supporters of Texas A&M University and Arlington State College took Monday the first step toward divorcing the two after a sometimes stormy marriage of 48 years. “I’m kissing them goodbye,” said Sen. Bill Moore of Bryan, staunch Aggie supporter. “We’re glad to leave,” said Sen. Don Kennard of Fort Worth, Arlington State backer. Senators agreed to the split by a vote of 29-2 and sent to the House Kennard’s bill to put Ar lington State under the Univer sity of Texas System. Kennard told the Senate that A&M has informed Arlington it will get no more funds from bond issues to finance buildings, and recalled A&;M’s withdrawal of graduate program requests for Arlington. Moore complained that Arling ton owes A&M $8 million it spent on Arlington buildings, and re called how A&M persuaded him against his will to support legis lation to let Arlington partici pate in the bond program. Moore also told how he op posed making Arlington a four- year college in 1957. Sen. A. M. Aikin of Paris warned Kennard he is taking a big risk by depending on adop tion of a constitutional amend ment to give Arlington building funds from state ad valorem tax revenue, but Kennard replied: “We’d be no worse off than we are now — A&M has told us there is no more money. We’ve got no place to go but up.” Marriage Forum To Discuss Sex “The Sexual Aspects of Mar ried Life” will be discussed at the YMCA’s third Marriage Forum Tuesday night. Dr. Henry Bowman of the University of Texas will be guest speaker at the 7:30 p.m. meeting. Topics to be considered in clude: importance of sexual com patibility in the total marriage relationship; pre-marital sexual relations; planned parenthood; ideals and standards of sex morality; complex causes of sex adjustmeni or maladjustment, and what religion says about sex. Fish Get Louisiana Drill Win BATON ROUGE, LA. — The Freshman Drill Team walked off with all the honors here Saturday at the Louis iana State University Invitational Drill Meet. The A&M unit captured top prizes in overall compe tition, basic squad drill and platoon basic drill and finished second in platoon fancy drill. Jim Yogas, team guidon bearer, won the blue ribbon in individual competition. Twenty-five freshmen and seven sponsors represented A&M at the 12-team meet which hosted outstanding drill units from Louisiana, Texas, Alabama, Mississippi and Arkansas. *■ Malon Southerland, team ‘Molly Brown’ Blasts Off With Big Roar CAPE KENNEDY, Fla. LT>) —- With a thunderous roar, a Titan 2 rocket blasted off today to propel astronauts Virgil I. Grissom and John W. Young toward the world’s first orbit-shifting manned space flight. Conditions were reported “green and go” around the world as the 80-foot tall rocket flashed to life at 9:24 a.m. EST. After a four-second holddown on the pad to make certain proper ignition was achieved, clamping bolts were blown automatically by explosive charges and the 165-ton projectile started to lift the space twins and their “Molly Brown” spacecraft into the sky. The great rockets rose slowly at first, but gradually accelerat ed as its two huge first-stage engines hungrily consumed fuel at the rate of 156 gallons a sec ond. After an initial burst of smoke, the exhaust from the engines was barely visible. This contrasted! with the rush of flame which ac companied the Atlas rocket that hurled the first-generation Mer cury astronauts into orbit. This is because the Titan 2 bums a fuel combination which contains no flame-producing car bon. The result is an eerie glow of almost clear hot gases gushing from the base of the booster. The launching was watched by thousands of persons lining the Atlantic beaches and other vantage points in the Cape area, and by millions on national television, in cluding the families of Grissom and Young. A near-perfect countdown was halted 35 minutes before the target launching time of 9 a.m. when signals indicated a leak in an oxi dizer line in the rocket. A single turn of a wrench on a loose valve corrected the trouble after a 24- minute delay. UK'S Brazos Youth Stock Show senior advisor, said late Sun day night, “It looks like this could be one of the best teams ever.” “The spectators liked the vari ous cadence changes—from slow cadence to fast cadence and back to slow,” Southerland commented. Monday the team turned its thoughts toward home where they will be hosts to the first A&M University Invitational Drill Meet Saturday. “It is always difficult to win your own meet,” said Southerland. “An example is that LSU has never won their own meet, and they usu ally have a good team.” Southerland said he expects tough competition from Sam Hous ton and Arlington State plus some other units he hasn’t seen compete this year. The Black Knights of Southwest Louisiana edged out the freshmen in fancy competition Sautrday, but that was the only mar to an otherwise perfect record—one of the cleanest sweeps in the meet’s history. Yogas commanded the nine-man squad champions, while team com mander Donald L. Savage directed the unit in platoon competition. Army Drill Instructors from Ft. Polk, La., judged the competition. Bruce Lane, ’45, and his wife served as hosts to the drill team and held a party in their honor after the victory. Yogas swept the honors from 19 other entrants in the individual category—the first year for com petition in that division. “He had a very good routine,” Southerland said. “It was smooth; he was always doing somthing. This is unusual because he is guidon bearer of the team, and he hasn’t had but about three of four days practice with a rifle this se mester.” AS SHARP AS SATURDAY Fish Drill Team poses with array of trophies Wmmm MOST UNPRINTABLE Senate Suggestion Box Shows Few Real Gripes By MIKE REYNOLDS The suggestion box set up in the Memorial Student Center by the Student Senate has revealed that 70 per cent of all Aggies’ suggestions are unprintable. Most of the notes that were fit for consumption ran only a few words. However, one student found that the front of the blank was not enough room to complain about the administration’s desire for academic excellence. He turned it over and wrote in small letters on the back. He finally gave up and paper-clipped a half sheet of paper to the note. He never got around to a suggestion —just griping. The suggestions ranged from the serious to humorous. One student wanted cigarette ma chines in the dormitories. Six students wanted Ranger made the official mascot of the university. The largest group of blanks submitted concerned beautifica tion or repair. One wanted the exterior of Kyle Field sand blasted. Another wanted the water fountains on the tennis court repaired. Still another ad vocated the smoke stack being repainted. A Corps student want ed the Wing and Brigade shields painted on the water tower in place of the old ROTC divisions. Phones in the rooms brought two requests. Some student, tired of looking at the back of some cowpoke’s hat, asked that the regulation about hats in Sbisa Dining Hall be enforced. One of the more serious re quests dealt with the number of hours required to obtain a degree from A&M while other institu tions require a smaller number. A&M requires 137 while TU stu- Mother Of Year Nominations Open The Student Life Committee is accepting nominations for the “Aggie Mother of the Year” award. Applications will be accepted un til April 21. Nominations should be ac companied by a statement why the mother nominated should be selec ted as the “Aggie Mother of the Year.” A three-by-five picture should accompany the nomination. All correspondence should be ad dressed to the Student Life Com mittee, Student Senate and mailed in care of the Student Programs Office in the Memorial Student Center. dents need only 120. One night owl asked that the new lounges be kept open after midnight if the TV programs weren’t over. Another entertain ment-hungry Aggie complained that most tunes in the MSC juke box are out of date. While the eye of criticism was on the MSC, the usual complaints were voiced over the cold hamburgers and stale french fries. A repulsed student from Dun can Dining Hall requested that attendants cut their hair. A short pocketbook must have spurred one Aggie to request that married students have to buy only one yearbook. There were the usual time-worn complaints about getting political groups on campus, making the Aggie Sweetheart contest open to all girls from all schools and better communications between the Student Senate and the stu dent body. One student even requested that a permanent suggestion box be set up. Most of these subjects came from one writer. In some cases three or four had the same idea. All in all, if the Student Senate discovered anything, they found that most Aggies don’t really care to complain about anything. A&M Group Taped For TY Talent ’65 To Show Singing Cadets The Singing Cadets went in front of the television cameras Monday to be video taped for a entertainment special featuring ing college talent. “Purpose of these special en tertainment programs is to spot light talented college and univer sity students as well as the schools they represent,” a South western Bell spokesman said. The program hopes to use ta lent from all 142 Texas colleges and universities. Built around a variety show format, the program will use singing, instrumental, dance and other variety acts, according to Jones. Also participating in produc tion of the program is Gardner Advertising Company, St. Louis, Missouri. no..

TA 3-5476 Climaxes Months Of Work Brazos County 4-H and FFA members climaxed many months of hard work at the Ninth An nual Brazos County Youth Live stock Show on campus Monday. Although tired from two days of putting finishing touches on their animals the boys and girls were happy, some more so than others, but all happy. Judging of the seven classes of livestock got underway at 9 a.m. and by 8:30 p.m. more than 350 entires had been scored and the top animals chosen. Topping the class of steers was a Hereford owned by Jim Welch, College Station 4-H Club member. The reserve champion steer was shown by Jack Hutchison of the Bryan 4-H club. Other winners were: Grand champion heifer, Jerry Wellman, Bryan FFA; reserve champion Tony Varisco, Bryan 4-H. Grand champion gilt, Bob Franke, College Station 4-H; re serve champion Mike Bewley, Sul Ross 4-H. Grand champion market hog, Bob Franke; reserve champion Claudia Novosad, Tabor 4-H. Grand champion lamb, Clifton DuBose, College Station 4-H; re serve champion LuAnn Franks, College Station 4-H. Grand champion turkey, Ben nie Ann Matejka, Tabor 4-H; re serve champion, Larry West, Kur- ten 4-H. Grand champion broilers, Gay- len Fickey, Bryan FFA; reserve champion, Emanuel Glockzin Jr., Bryan FFA. Tom Sistrunk, Brazos county agent, estimated more than 1,000 visitors saw the livestock on ex hibit at the show sponsored by the Bryan-College Station Cham ber of Commerce. “I have really enjoyed the show this year,” said John E. Hutchi son, director of the Agricultural Extension Service. “From top to bottom we had a real quality show this year; better than any other I have attended,” he added. One of the judges, Doug Wythe, assistant professor of Animal Sci ence said, “The animals looked a lot better this year: It looks like the members are doing a better job of grooming, feeding and teaching their animals to lead.” These are the things we like to see the members learn. The primary purpose for junior livestock shows is to teach these youngsters how to care for live stock, not just to teach them to win. Debbie Angonia, 14 year old Brazos County 4-H Club member said, “We come to the shows to win, but if we don’t, we know we have learned a lot, and will put this into practice with hopes of winning next year.” Debbie’s Angus steer placed 5th and her brother’s Angus steer placed 8th in the show. The champion animals will be auctioned off in the livestock pavilion at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday. Auctioneer for the night will be Walter Britten of Bryan. The Cadets, along with talent acts from other Texas colleges and universities, were taped for Talent ’65, a program being pro duced by KHOU TV, Houston. Southwestern Bell Telephone Company will be sponsor for the show. Tentative plans call for a series of one-hour television en tertainment specials. No air dates have been announced. Robert Boone, director of The Singing Cadets, said his group will sing “You Make Me Feel So Young” and “Gonna Build A Mountain” from the Broadway play, “Stop the World, I Want to Get Off.” A trio, composed of Eddie Reaux, James Cain and Henry Shou, will sing “Hello Dolly.” The performances were video taped outdoors in front of the Memorial Student Center. “We are using outdoor locations so we can capture more of the campus flavor,” Cal Jones, KHOU TV producer, said. Jon Stain- brook of the KHOU staff is di recting the production. ROLL THE CAMERAS . • . Singing Cadets video taped for television special.
