A&M’s “wedding director,” J. Gordon Gay, reports an average of two student marriages a month. YMCA general secretary since 1928, Gay serves as reli gious coordinator and adminis trator of the chapel scene of campus nuptials. Though he has been “stood up” a couple of times, Gay takes wed- PALACE Brcj.in NOW SHOWING MARLON BRANDO» SAMSP/EGEL'S production of technicolor'^anavision^ _ HELD OVER BY POPULAR DEMAND Jack Lemmon Tony Curtis Natalie Wood In “GREAT RACE” OW* N UM)I k I?

The dean of YMCA student service (40 years) in the United States schedules a rehearsal for each ceremony. Gay will arrange for organists, seating, flowers, pho tographer, soloist and perform other services. “We prefer the traditional ceremony,” he commented, “but will make any arrangements.” The 212-capacity chapel has been the scene of military weddings, civil marriages, ceremonies in German and virtually all reli gious faiths. Students, former students, coaches, professors and even a University of Texas student have wed in the scenic chapel, con structed by the Association of Former Students for $300,000. Any connection with A&M, such Players To Host One-Act Contest Texas A&M hosts the Region III AA Interscholastic League One-act Play Contest Thursday under the Aggie Players’ spon sorship for the sixth consecutive year. Presenting plays during the afternoon session of the contest will be high schools from Katy, Hamshire-Fannett, Rockdale and Madisonville. The afternoon ses sion begins at 1:30 p.m. in Guion Hall. Participating in the 6 p.m. evening session will be Luling, Taylor, S. F. Austin of Port Arthur and Sweeny. Admission for each session will be 50 cents. Critic Judge for the event is Dr. Loren Winship, head of the Department of Drama at the University of Texas. Members of the Aggie Players serving as production crew for the event are Robert Wenck, Frances Flynn, Jan Gannaway, Dick Gustafson, Randy Davis and Tim E. Lane. as a faculty family-member, al lows an expense-free wedding in the glass - walled, garden - sur rounded building. “Other persons are welcome to use the chapel for weddings,” Gay noted. Usually they make a contribution, such as a book to the library. Although 277 weddings have been performed in the shell lime stone building since May 31, 1957, other events are in the majority. Religious services and a variety of other events have been held in the tree-encircled edifice. It provides students a place for quiet and meditation. The building consists of an audi torium, library, waiting room, meditation room and administra tive office. The exterior is floodlighted at night. Gay has three rules concern ing weddings. The bride must be pleased with plans, an or dained minister is preferred and nuptials may be scheduled no closer than an hour-and-a-half. Three weddings in one day is not unusual for the chapel. Two were held last Thanksgiving day. Gay’s chief concern is seeing that young couples have a Christian start in marriage. Some planned weddings have fallen through. “One couple planned a late June wedding in 1958, but failed to show,” Gay remarked. “I’ve never heard from them.” Another couple canceled June, 1957, plans. “We decided we couldn’t wait and were married in San An tonio a week ago,” they reported. June didn’t catch another stu dent unawares. The marrying month was three years away when he walked into Gay’s , office to make a wedding reservation in the chapel. “Are you sure you’ll still want to marry the girl then?” the YMCA general secretary and re ligious life coordinator asked. “Do you even have a girl?” “Yes sir,” the Aggie replied. “We’ll be there.” They were.

Watch, Cash Prizes Slated For Math Contest Winners A wrist watch and cash prizes of $10 and $15 will be awarded to freshmen and sophomore stu dents who place in the annual Mathematics contest examina tions April 26. Civil Defense Groups Battle Bad Weather The Brazos Area CB Club, Brazos County Civil Defense of fice and the Department of Met eorology coordinated a “callout” Monday to set radio defense against severe weather. Dispatched from the radar room at A&M, 29 club citizen band units were assigned in three semicircles southwest of College Station. Responding units repre sented 94 per cent of the club. The “callout” began at 7:02 p.m. and all assigned units were in place by 8 p.m., club president DeWayne Jernigan said. John E. Honea, 105 East Carson, reached location at Tunis 21 min utes after radio contact, 45 min utes following callout announce ment by Dr. Vance Moyer of A&M. Mobile CD units were sent to Caldwell, Wellborn, Wilcox, Somerville and intermediate points. “You will be a mobile backup to our regular, 24-hour informa tion lines,” Brazos CD director Jake Canglose told the club. “We’ll call you in bad weather to fill blind spots left by the Weather Bureau, Department of Public Safety units, police and our spotter system. We may call on you for damage and recon naissance reports during or after a storm passes through. Infor mation will be of benefit to area communities.” Moyer, professor of meteor ology, explained storm systems movement to the amateur radio men. “Storms move along lines from southwest to northeast,” he said. “It may be a squall line not asso ciated with a front. Severe weather pockets are in cells along the line, and these cells tend to move ‘downhill’ toward low pres sure areas, or to the northeast. Occasionally, they move the op posite direction. “The resultant of cells moving with the line and flowing north east along it is the information we seek,” he said. Moyer noted three lines of ob servers. The outer line outside Brazos County, will be stationed in advance of weather moving in to report gusting winds, hail, heavy rain that leads to local flooding and funnel clouds or any peculiar cloud formations touch ing ground. Assoc. Prof. Roger McGee said freshmen enrolled in Math 104 and sophomores taking Math 210 are eligible to compete, provided that they have not repeated any math course. He added that students enter ing their own class exam must not have been above their partic ular classification as of Septem ber 1965 to participate in the contest. Freshman two-hour exam will include questions pertaining to algebra, trigonometry, analytic geometry and calculus as high as the Math 121 level. The sophomore exam will be com prised of questions to the Math 307 level. All freshmen awards and sec ond ($15) and third ($10) sopho more awards are provided by the Robert F. Smith Memorial Fund, established for Smith by the late John W. Mitchell, originator of the contest. First prize (watch) for sopho mores is furnished by the Hal- perin Award Fund, established through the estate of the late Prof. H. Halperin. Smith, Mitchell and Halperin were all staff members in the Depart ment of Mathematics. McGee announced that the freshman exam will be in Room 223 and the sophomore quiz will be in Room 225 of the Academic Building from 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Camera Club Crammed In Ever hear of a photographer developing film in his neighbor’s hip pocket ? If all the members of the Cam era Committee in the Memorial Student Center decided to use the darkroom at the same time, someone might get his wallet hypoed. The committee membership of 65 would have to fit in the third- floor darkroom area of 13 feet by 22 feet. Take away floor space devoted to cabinets for en largers, dryers and storage, walls, lockers and sinks, and about two square feet or less per person remains. Luckily, however, the commit tee uses a key checkout system that allows only four photogs at a time in the six-by-six foot inner darkrooms. If other shutterbugs request, the user must relinquish keys and darkroom within one hour. The job of keeping film, paper, developer, hypo, acid, hypo neu tralizer, photo flo, negatives and equipment is an individual job, handled by Klub Kop C. M. Sykes, the faculty advisor. Committee president Ken Reese keeps members happy about all the crowding. All agents of Fidelity Union Life’s AGGIELAND AGENCY are active members, of Central!
