Ags Top Baylor 71-69 On Last-Seconds Trippet Shot
By GARY SHERER
“You’re in the in-crowd now,”
yelled Billy Bob Barnett to Terry
Trippet in a wild Aggie dressing
room. The occasion was the after-
math of a tremendous 17-point
comeback by the Aggies last night
at G. Rollie White Coliseum.
TRIPPETT definitely was in
the “in-crowd” as probably the
most important shot of his Aggie
career went “in” the basket with
just six seconds remaining, to give
the Maroon and White a 71-69
victory over the Baylor Bears.
Playing before an improved
throng of 4,000, the Aggies
seemed to have fallen into their
second-half cold streak after mak
ing a game of it in the first
period.
THE HALFTIME count was 43-
32, with the Aggies on the short
end, as the two teams took the
floor for the start of the second
twenty minutes.
Seven minutes later, it was
Baylor by 56-39 and the Aggies
looked out of the ballgame.
Then it happened! The Aggies,
in an almost flawless shooting
display, treated the fans to eleven
minutes of heads-up basketball as
they outscored the Bears 30-13
and tied the game up with a
Barnett layup with 1:53 remain
ing.
AT THIS POINT Baylor called
time out to set up final strategy.
It turned out in A&M’s favor as
with 50 seconds remaining, John
Underwood grabbed an errant
Bear pass and the Aggies were
in the driver’s seat.
The dramatic climax followed
a successful freeze of the ball by
the young team. They looked like
professionals as they passed the
ball back and forth with the sec
onds ticking away.
WITH THE CLOCK hitting ten
seconds, Ronnie Peret flipped the
ball to Trippet. The Odessa junior
went down the left side towards
the basket. It looked like a dead
end as two Bears threw their
hands up and Trippet seemed to
be hemmed in.
Trippet, however, was not to be
denied. He raked once and twisted
up between the two defenders and
pushed the ball toward the all-
important two points.
PANDEMONIUM then broke
loose as the frantic Baylor five
tried to go for the final basket.
Russell Kibbe’s final hurried 30-.
footer was wide to the left and
Trippet found himself in a mob of
excited and happy Aggie fans.
It was a scene not too familiar
this season, but one that was
worth it, as there was probably
never a more deserved win.
What makes the win the most
satisfying is that the final score
marked the only time in the game
that the Aggies had the lead. But,
it couldn’t have been a more right
time.
AGGIE COACH Shelby Metcalf
was a picture of happiness as he
accepted the congratulations of
pleased fans. The Aggie mentor
hasn’t had too many chances this
year to be happy, as the inexperi
enced team has been on the losing
side quite a few times. A win like
this, however, makes it all worth
while.
Underwood and Barnett shared
scoring honors with 16 each. Peret
was next with 15 and Sonny Bene
field added 11. Baylor was led by
Darrel Hardy wtih 20 markers,
while Jimmy Turner and Steve
Bartels added 17 and 16, respec
tively.
Saturday night the Aggies will
be at Austin’s Gregory Gym for
the rematch with the Texas Long
horns. They return home for their
final ’66-’67 game on Tuesday
night, hosting Southern Meth
odist.

Faculty-Staff Set
Third Program
Texas A&M!’s third faculty-
staff dinner dance of the aca
demic year is set for 7:30 p.m.
Thursday in the Memorial Stu
dent Center Assembly Room.
Committee Chairman Don
Young of the Texas ^df^st Serv
ice said the dinner will be a cos
tume affair. Informal dress may
be worn, if preferred, he added.
Young uged season ticket hold
ers and other faculty-staff mem
bers to bring guests. Individual-

Dick Baldauf’s Aggieland Com

Last Friday, under the guid
ance of the Home and Family Life
class of the Homemaking Depart
ment, A&M Consolidated students
staged a wedding as a lab pro
ject. Miss Celia Stark “Falls”
became the bride of Steve Wat
kins “Logan” in a ceremony which
was complete with bridal gown
and flowers.
Purpose of the experiment was
to teach the students the ritual in
volved in getting married. After
the wedding, the students held a
reception for the wedding party
which included four bridesmaids
and four groomsmen. The recep
tion included cake and punch and
the usual activities surrounding
the big day.
Following the reception, the
happy couple left for Sam’s on a
brief honeymoon and then return
ed to classes at the high school.
Even the newspaper got in on
the act by writing a column not
unlike those found in larger news
papers on the society page con
cerning the wedding of a famous
person.

tures and makes recommendations
for improving deteriorating com
mercial areas.
“Kirkwood has a railroad and a
main highway bisecting the down
town area, problems being experi
enced by many cities,” Exley not
ed. “One of our suggestions was
to screen off undesirable areas
such as the railroad unloading
yard.”
Other recommendations includ
ed closing of a street to provide
a more spacious setting for the
city hall, a village green, a pedes
trian walkway over the railroad
for better access to both sections
of the city, creation of an arbore
tum and playground for down
town shoppers and children, re
organized parking for more con
venience to the shopping district
and tree-lined walks connecting
parking areas with the shopping
district.
Judges praised Exley’s and
Newton’s design for fine plan
ning which could contribute to the
healthy growth of the heart of
Kirkwood.

Segrest Announces
ITS Cancellation
By JOHN FULLER
The 16th Annual Intercollegiate
Talent Show scheduled for Spring
Military Weekend has been can
celed, according to an announce
ment Tuesday by Memorial Stu
dent Center Talent Committee
Chairman Charles Segrest.
Segrest said the show has been
running at a deficit for the past
several years, and attributed the
deficit to “the rising travel ex
penses of committee auditioning
teams to distant schools and the
increasing payment of expenses
for visiting performers.”
The annual event had been sche
duled for Saturday, March 3, as
one of the highlights of the week
end, which includes the Combat
Ball, Military Ball and Military
Review. For the past several
years, ITS had been a feature of
the activities.
“COMPOUNDING the difficul
ties encountered by the Commit-
Government Prof
Will Speak On
Communist China
“Proletarian Cultural Revolu
tion in Communist China” will be
discussed when Dr. Kwang Hai
Ro, assistant professor of govern
ment, speaks at A&M Methodist’s
Student Center at 7 tonight.
Ro will speak on the political
development in China from the
beginning of the Communist re
gime through the present time.
He will emphasis the political
change in terms of Mao Tse-
tung’s revolutionary ideas com
pared with the present conflict of
anti-Mao factions.
Ro is a native of Korea who
received a Ph.D. from Oklahoma
University in 1966. He specializes
in international politics, with em-
pahis on Asian affairs.
Also at the Methodist Student
Center, beginning Sunday at 5:30
p.m., will be a discussion of the
musical-drama, “For Heavens
Sake.”
This will be a study of the play
which is a satirical and serious
study of the contemporary church
and its methods.
The play contains such songs as,
“Failure at 33.” This is a song
between two modern businessmen
who are discussing that Jesus was
a failure when looked at through
the eyes of a modem man and
using modern man’s measures of
success.
On next Wednesday night will
be another talk at the student cen
ter, with the topic being “LSD.”
The speaker has not yet been an
nounced.
tee is a flagging university stu
dent interest in such productions,
and consequently a sparse stu
dent attendance,” the announce
ment continued, “plus the compet
ing influences and much greater
audience exposure offered by
KHOU-TV’s widely broadcasted
television special, ‘Campus Talent
—’67’.”
A&M was one of 43 schools
where students were recently au
ditioned for places in the May
production. Six acts tried out here
Feb. 8.
“We also face a lot of competi
tion from Six Flags Over Texas.”
Segrest pointed out. “Their ta
lent scouts conduct auditions in
Houston for this whole area of
the state in search of performers
to work during the summer.
“CAMPUS TALENT and Six
Flags both offer a fee for each
performance, and we can’t afford
to,” he went on.
Segrest said his committee is
“always open for suggestions”
concerning a substitute for the
annual event.
“We feel like we owe the stu
dents something,’ ’he noted, “al
though we aren’t sure what we
can offer right now. ITS is pret
ty well dead, but we’re trying
to come up with something to re
place it — possibly during Civilian
Weekend or another big weekend
during the spring.”
He said the two main ideas
which the committee is curently
investigating are an A&M Sys
tem talent show, which would use
acts from Tarleton State College,
the Maritime Academy and other
branches, and a show featuring
only students from colleges other
than A&M.

For Student Use
Only vehicles with Texas A&M
University parking permits may
be parked along the portion of
FM 2154 (Old College Highway)
recently closed.
‘That section is no longer a
public thoroughfare,” Ed Powell,
campus security chief, said, “and
because it is part of the main
campus, university traffic and
parking regulations apply.”
The closed section has been
phased out of use by completion
of new overpass and interchange
facilities between FM 2154 and
FM 60.
A parking lot with space for
more than 500 vehicles has been
proposed. It would extend from

—“Personality factors - court

—“Am I socially adequate ? ”
—“Relationship of freedom to

—“Should time and distance in

REVIEW managing editor in
the fall, Miss Franklin moved to
the editor’s desk wtih the resig
nation of John Hotard in Janu
ary.
Miss Franklin and her staff
welcome contributions from stu
dents, not just from the Colleges
of Liberal Arts, Sciences and Geo
sciences, but from all students of
the university.
“The new policy is to include
articles written only by A&M
students,” she said. “This includes
fiction as well as features.”
She said the new policy would
also be to concentrate on a format
directed to students. This will in
clude all parts of the magazine,
even jokes.
MISS FRANKLIN said even
though this is the first instance
of a woman editor at A&M, it
does not mean a woman’s touch
will be evident.
“The jokes will still be a little
dirty to interest Aggies,” she con
fided.
She made it clear that the mag
azine was to be a service to the
university.
“We realize it is impossible to
satisfy all students, but we feel
the magazine will be a definite
improvement over previous edi
tions,” Miss Franlin said.
Although the printing schedule
calls for two issues each semester,
the first did not appear until last
month, and the staff is working
hard to put out the remaining
issues.
