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.”

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.

‘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.

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.”

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

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

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.
