Chapel Business To Rise
As Wedding Season Nears
The aisle of the All-Faiths
Chapel will become busier the
next two months as “the marry
ing business” picks up for an
August peak.
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-

dings calmly and offers several
services to young lovers.
“I take them right down to
the minister,” he explained. 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.

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.

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.
