Fish Drill Team Captures Second In Nation’s
IE!
CAPITAL PERFORMANCE
The Fish Drill Team, which took honors as the nation’s drill championships, is shown on the Ellipse south of the
second best in Cherry Blossom Festival-sponsored national White House.
Texas A&M’s mark was left
on the nation’s capital at the an
nual Cherry Blossom Festival.
The Freshman Drill Team,
which took honors as the nation’s
second best in Festival-sponsored
national drill championships, ac
quainted half a million people
with A&M.
The team collected the second-
place drill trophy and fifth in the
Festival parade on Constitution
Avenue.
Judges picked A&M tops among
marching organizations of the
initial 130 units in the parade,
viewed by more than 40,000. A
later group took first. In excess
of 650 bands, floats and marching
units participated. Thirty-three
coed and male drill teams, plus
other units competed for best
marching unit.
The Fish, commanded by Justo
Gonzales of San Antonio, beat
Villanova in the parade. Villa-
nova’s “Whiskey Company” won
first in drill competition.
“I thought the team represent
ed A&M better than at any time
I’ve been working with them” de
clared Maj. Calvin Reese, spon
sor. “The kids knew we’d be
against top competition at Wash
ington, and were out to beat it.”
The Fish held the drill cham
pionships lead with 877 points of
1,000 possible until Villanova tal
lied 897 in the afternoon. Two
other Southwest teams entered
the nationals held in the shadow
of the Washington monument, for
which the trophies were pat
terned.
Sam Houston scored 683, North
western Louisiana State 740.
Sam’s Loman Rifles won the pa
rade trophy for the best march
ing organization.
The Fish marched up Independ
ence Avenue following drill com
petition to tour the House of
Representatives as guests of Con
gressman Bob Casey of Houston.
Passers-by clicked shutters as the
black-helmeted team marched
past, sending cadence counts eco-
ing along the Mall.
The team stopped by the Tidal
Basin for pictures with a cherry
blossom background Sunday. As
the squads formed, a crowd gath
ered.
An impromptu drill near the
Japanese cherry trees memorial
was applauded by more than 500.
Congressman Casey’s neighbors
gaped in admiration late Satur
day as the Fish performed for the
representative. They put on the
show at 10 p.m. after a barbecue
provided by the congressman and
his staff.
A 1,021-signature telegram
from the campus sparked the
team along. The 30-foot long
message arrived two hours be
fore the drill competition.
Waiting for transportation to
Dulles Airport Sunday morning,
the FDT drilled at the National
4-H Center, with 200 incoming
Kentucky 4-Hers looking on.
The team’s attitude was sum
med up Sunday during tours of
national monuments, including
the Iwo Jima statue, across the
Potomac from Lincoln Memorial.
Two of the fish surveyed the
weathered brass memorial.
“Just think what a dozen fresh
men and a quart of Brasso would
do for that,” one commented.

Texas A&M civilian students
and Cadet Corps members will be
segregated by dormitory areas in
the fall semester of 1967.
Allen M. Madeley, housing
manager, said Cadet Corps mem
bers will be occupying dormi
tories 1-12 in the Duncan area
and ramps G, H, I, and J of Hart
hall in the Sbisa area.
Civilian dormitory students
will reside in the remaining
ramps of Hart, Puryear, Law,
Mitchell, Legett, Milner, and
Walton halls. With the exception
of part of dormitory 15, all of
the renovated and new dormi
tories (13-22) served by Sbisa
will be occupied by non-Corps
members.
“Students who expect to live
in civilian dormitories next year
will report to the housing office
and reserve rooms on a pre
arranged schedude,” Madeley
said.
“Civilian student reservations
started Monday at 8 a.m. and will
continue through April to 5 p.m.
April 26,” Madeley explained.
“Beginning at 8 a.m. April 27,
students now living in ramps G,
H, I, and J of Hart hall will have
first choice of rooms not previ
ously reserved by their present
occupants.”
All students not signed up by
April 28 may reserve rooms on
a first-come, first-served basis,
starting at 8 a.m. May 1 through
5 p.m. May 12.
Preference to graduate, for
eign, and veterinary medicine

tory 22 and in ramps E, F, G,
and H of Walton Hall. Pre
medicine and pre-dentistry stu
dents will have reservation privi
leges in the third and fourth
floors of dormitory 20.
“Room reservation cards will
not be mailed with grade reports
as in past semesters,” Madeley
continued. “Students who haven’t
signed up at the designated times
within the next two weeks will
have to write the registrar on an
individual basis for reservation
cards.”
“These students will be in
competition with students not
currently registered.
Madeley said students who sign
for a room but later wish to can
cel it must notify the Housing
Office by Aug. 15.
“This is the only way to re
cover their $20 room deposit fee,”
Madeley pointed out.
“This includes students dropped
for academic reasons, and those
who cancel to become day stu
dents.”
Single undergraduate students
must live on campus unless living
with their families. Any students
seeking a day student permit to
live off-campus must apply to the
Department of Student Affairs.
“These students (under 21)
must have a letter of consent
from the parents requesting this
arrangement,” Madeley said.
