CADET SLOUCH
Brenda Lee Tremendous
br Jim Eark In Town Hall Appearance
“It sure is heart-warming to know that T.U. was so accom
modating in helping us make th’ civilian weekend such a
success, and especially our new baseball game tradition!”
By LANI PRESSWOOD
Battalion Amusements Editor
Brenda Lee. Brenda, Brenda,
Brenda.
As a senior with the calendar
date May 28 circled in red, I can
honestly say that Town Hall
saved the best for last. Up to
Saturday night, the Brothers
Four and Peter, Paul and Mary
were in just about a dead heat
in entertainment memorysville
over the four-year haul.
No longer. It’s Miss Dynamite
by the width of a refreshing
smile, and by the length of a
ringing, heartfelt note.
They billed her as the world’s
top female vocalist and a large,
cheering Aggie crowd found out
why Saturday.
Her performance was moving,
stunning, explosive. She sang
literally as if there were no to
morrow, as if this was her last
performance. She seemed to
throw all she had into each song,
and the emotional and physical
effort she put forth was some
thing to see.
Brenda belted out no less than
21 numbers, and you had to
wonder how she could possibly
get her breath fast enough to
run through them with a pause
only for the enthusiastic applause
between each one.

Editor,
The Battalion,
First, let me say “Congratula
tions” to The Battalion for the
long overdue expose of Corps
Staff, Inc. I hope sincerely that
this incident will receive top pri
ority news coverage so that a
true picture of the outcome of the
proceedings will be presented to
the entire student body as future
litigation continues.
Although it is no secret that
top-ranking Corps personnel have
for several years enjoyed a spe
cial sanctuary from open criti
cism, this must be the first time
that adequate publicity has been
given to the wanton abuse of
“R.H.I.R.” by the Trigon puppets.
I spent four years in the Corps,
(Aggie Band), and I sincerely be
lieve it is one of the finest organ
izations any Southwestern uni
versity has to offer to young men
today. However, there’s always
a few wormy apples in every bar
rel. This slip-shop abuse of Cadet
Court is an example of their in
ability to see their responsibili
ties to those who make their posi
tions even exist (i.e. the thous
ands of good jokers that make up
the majority of the Corps). This
might well be the time to air
some of the dirty laundry which
has got pretty deep in higher
echelons.
I’m not critical of the charges
and if the accused is guilty he
should pay dearly — for those
are serious charges. Let us hope
that “the powers that be” will re
view all aspects of this case and
be fair to those involved and to
Texas A&M. It might well be
that a change from diamonds to
buttons would aid considerably in
the clearing of the rather odifer-
ous atmosphere which has en
shrouded Corps Staff for all too
long a time.

Editor,
The Battalion,
It is certainly the duty of The
Battalion to report such incidents
as the recent Cadet Court trial of
Cadet Mike Martin. Your edi
torial was biased in favor of Mar
tin, but one shameful element of
truth is beyond dispute. The
Cadet Colonel of the Corps de
based himself and his proud office
by appearing as plaintiff at a
trial where everyone from the ac
cused to the court president were
his subordinates. A commander’s
word has to be accepted by those
under him, for unquestioned yet
carefully used authority is basic
to any effective military struc
ture. To believe that this author
ity can exist outside a courtroom
and then, somehow, evaporate un
der the formalities of a trial is to
be very, very naive. In this situ
ation Cadet Martin had to be
found guilty — or cadet rank re
duced to insignificance. I have
no idea what really happened at
the drive-in grocery where this
unfortunate situation began, but
I cannot believe that Cadet Mar
tin’s actions, however disrespect
ful, warranted this pitiful misuse
of the privilege of student-admin
istered justice.
Harry Hulen, ’64

Editor,
The Battalion,
The Staff of The Battalion de
serves a hardy congratulations
for taking a stand on the Cadet
Court issues. What should con
cern us, at this time, is were
there irregularities in the Court,
if there were irregularities were
they fostered by the Corps Com
mander, and most important, did
the Corps Commander use the
Court for personal revenge
against the Cadet in question. It
is now of minor importance
whether or not the charges are
correct, but was the Court cor
rect? We are not faced with the
future of Cadet Court, if there
were irregularities then the en
tire system should be reviewed, if
not then the whole subject should
be dropped.
This stand is a milestone in The
Battalion’s history and a great
one. I hope that the Batt will
continue to bring more controver
sial subjects before the student
body of Texas A&M University.

Editor,
The Battalion,
Regarding Dean of Students
James P. Hannigan’s quote in the
March 24 issue of The Battalion
which said, “Cadet Companies are
really little fraternities in all but
name.”
Fraternities are allowed to pick
their new members on the basis
of prestige which these new mem
bers can bring to the fraternity.
These new members tend to be of
the same sociological, economic,
and cultural background as that
of the old members. The basic
purpose of fraternities is to join
together to achieve social ends.
Their leaders are elected by pop
ular vote. Except for a very
short period of time as a pledge,
members are subjected to almost
no discipline.
By contrast, in the cadet corps
most incoming freshmen are as
signed to their companies by
academic majors. In this way
they are thrown together with
people of different backgrounds.
The purpose of cadet companies
is to provide military training for
its members. Leaders at A&M
are supposedly selected on the
basis of their qualifications for
their jobs. It is certainly not a
popularity contest. Members of
cadet companies are subjected to
strict discipline from the first day
of their freshman year to final
review of their senior year. By
the way, cadet companies are not
allowed to buy alcoholic bever
ages with their unit funds. Fra
ternities are certainly allowed
this consideration.
The purpose of this letter is not
to degrade fraternities, nor is it
to glorify the Cadet Corps, but to
point out some of the basic facts
about the Cadet Corps which has
some how been missed.

< . . --
evening gown and fairly radi
ating vitality and emotion, the
4-11 dynamo displayed a voice of
almost unbelievable power. If
White Coliseum has an acoustics
problem you sure couldn’t tell it
while she was singing . . . and
sing she did.
She knocked out all of her big
hits, including “Jambalaya,” “I’m
Losing You,” “All Alone Am I,”
“Sweet Nothins’,” and her block
buster, “I’m Sorry.”
It’s easy to pick out the high
lights of some shows but in her
performance there were nothing
but highlights. There wasn’t a
single slow moment in her entire
act.
If anything, she seemed to get
better and better as the evening
wore on, and “The Walls of Jeri
cho,” “Bill Bailey,” and “When
The Saints Go Marchin’ In” came
across especially well toward the
end of the show.
Each of her songs was delivered
in a deep, earthy, natural voice,
packed with feeling. She roamed
all over the stage, got down on
her knees, almost bent over com
pletely backwards several times,
and slapped her right thigh un
mercifully during her most fren
zied numbers.
Through it all she was backed
by The Casuals, a lively, talented
six-man combo who put on a fine
performance themselves the first
half of the show.
In her dressing room, Brenda
was calm, poised and friendly,
expressed a personal preference
for classical music, and revealed
that she plans to perform in Viet
Nam next summer.
And if her presence can’t boost
our war effort over there then
it’s high time we headed for the
negotiating table.
