Anderson’s Book To Be Released An anthology of humorous sketches, “With the Bark On: Popular Humor of the Old South, 1830-1860,” by Dr. John Q. An derson, Texas A&M Department of English head, will be released soon. Published by the Vanderbilt University Press, the 300-page book features sketchfes by ama teur writers in regional news papers. Mark Twain is said to have been influenced by this frontier humor, particularly in his early writings. Robinson’s Crusoe By BOB ROBINSON When reading my favorite question-answer column, I noticed a letter from a very distraught wife. It seems that whenever she and her husband would sit outside together, the mosquitoes would attack her, leaving him alone. Naturally enough, she wanted to know why. Miss Abi gail (Abby) Van Buren’s answer to this, was: “Mosquitoes are at tracted to brunettes and to strong odors — good and bad . . .” Miss Van Buren, I sincerely do not be lieve this to be the answer. The answer obviously is: This lady probably has a sev enty-two-year-old grandmother that is running around with a 23- year-old man, but only for her money. He is already married to another seventy-one-year-old grandmother who is also rich. Then there are also the wom an’s two kids that can’t under stand why daddy has to work late at the office so much. What’s even harder for them to under stand is why mama always comes home from the Wednesday eve ning bridge club in a bad mood. And what about the next door neighbor who throws wild parties while his wife is visiting rela tives. When the wife comes home he goes on business trips. Surely this must be a factor also. Other considerations are the sex and psychological attitudes of the particular mosquitoes in volved. Naturally enough, a fe male mosquito attacking a female homo-sapien, for only the female of both species bite, shows a defi nite mental unbalance that is not necessarily peculiar to the human race. So this is a problem case to begin with. Now, has she bothered to ask the reasons behind the nightly fights that she and her husband have? She would most likely be surprised in how this could affect a mosquito. Then also, if you were to check, you would probably find that the city officials of her village are corrupt. These, Miss Van Buren, are the more probable reasons to why this lady, rather than her hus band, is attacked by mosquitoes. It’s very obvious when studied from all possible angles. In the introduction, Anderson says: “These stories, told with masculine gusto, are a brilliant panorama of life in the lower South: the humor and discomfort of travel on Mississippi steam boats; the vitality and earthiness of backwoods weddings and frol ics; hunters around campfires telling tales of animals and men; lawyers reciting amusing experi ences on the circuit; doctors and preachers in their amusing mo ments with men’s bodies and souls; men and boys pulling jokes on each other; men drinking, gambling, and fighting; and the antics of yokels in the city.” The expression “with the bark on” comes from Davy Crockett. It means unpolished, unsophisti cated, a frontiersman, such as Crockett himself. Adams To Attend Bandmasters Clinic Texas A&M Band Director Lt. Col. E. V. Adams will attend his 34th Texas Bandmasters Associ ation clinic in San Antonio, Mon day through Aug. 4. Exhibits, demonstrations, lec tures, concerts and discussion groups for more than 800 state band leaders will be held in the Gunter Hotel. Adams, past officer of the association and active in contest judging, will be shopping for new music for the Aggie Band in 1966-67. “The new music reading is a sort of style show of music,” the colonel said. “I’ll be looking for marches we can use this fall.” The U. S. Air Force Academy Band, directed by Capt. H. G. Vincent, and selected profession als of the Lackland and Randolph Air Force Base bands will play for high school and college di rectors. All Southwest Conference band masters except Arkansas gener ally attend the clinic. Adams has attended all TBA clinics since 1929, except for while he was in the service. Sun Oil Presents A&M With Grants A grant and five scholarships totaling $4,600 have been pre sented Texas A&M by the Sun Oil Company, announced Engi nering Dean Fred J. Benson. A Department of Petroleum Engineering grant of $600 may be employed “in any fashion de- sihed,” Sun officials aid. Scholar ships of $800 each were allotted in mechanical, geology and petro leum engineering, three going to the latter department. Recipients will be selected by A&M. Sun Oil’s awards were made here this week by Robert A. Matteson of Philadelphia, Pa., college relations director, and R. J. Ridgway of Dallas. Ridgway is a senior petroleum engineer and 1944 A&M graduate. “As a large employer of scien tific and professional personnel, Sun recognizes its obligation to encourage higher education. The company is glad to have the op portunity through a positive aid program,” Matteson said. Sun Oil grants, scholarships and fellowships totaling $143,000 were awarded 33 U. S. colleges and universities during 1965-66, he added. DeFrank Receives $400 Scholarship Thomas M.
