Pag-e 2 THE BATTALION College Station, Texas Friday, April 21, 1967 CADET SLOUCH Matson Day Set At Kyle Field Muster Honors Fallen Aggies One of the oldest and most hallowed traditions of Texas A&M is being observed today as Aggie Muster is held in College Station and around the world. The 5 p.m. ceremony will be on the lawn in front of the Systems Building and at approximately 300 other locations circling the globe. Aggie Muster began in 1903 when the A&M Corps of Cadets gathered on campus to pay respect to the Texans who defeated the Mexican Army at San Jacinto in 1836. This year’s Muster will mark the 65th observance with musters being scheduled in more than 33 foreign countries. In Vietnam, Musters are to be held at Bien Hoa, Nha Trang, Quien Nhon, and Saigon. Six Aggies died in Vietnam during the past year. Other ceremonies are set in Turkey, North Africa, Australia, Bolivia, Japan, Labrador, Pakistan and Thailand. Traditionally, Muster ceremonies are much the same all over the world. At each location, someone will read the roll- call for the absent, and in each instance someone in the crowd, usually a friend of the fallen comrade answers “bere.” Aggies should remember to observe the Muster cere mony today by paying tribute to those fellow Aggies who have died during the past year, those Texans who fought to make Texas free and the Aggies who gave their lives to keep America strong.

Ceremonies for Randy have been planned for Saturday afternoon at Kyle Field when he makes his final home appearance during the Aggies’ triangular track meet with Texas Tech and Baylor. A proclamation will be read by Brazos County Judge W. C. (Bill) Davis stating that “James Randel Matson has brought numerous honors and world-wide recognition to himself, his university, community, state and nation through his phenomenal achievements in athletics ...” In addition to listing his various records, the procla mation cites Matson’s earlier appearance this month at Kyle Field as “the most amazing double weight performance in the history of track.” Matson set two new NCAA and American track records here April 8 with a 213 foot 9 l / 2 inch discus toss and three shot put throws or more than 70 feet. s ■* - ' L i 1 •’ 5 W' k . 1 The 805th Cadet Air Division will be revamped with the air division staff composed of Air Force cadets on the Corps staff, the officer indicated. President Earl Rudder and Student Senate President Barney Fudge will present Matson with separate plaques representing the university and the student body, respec tively. The “Matson Day” ceremonies will give A&M students a chance to show their appreciation to Randy for the honors and world-wide recognition he has brought to A&M and the state of Texas. It will also be the last chance for Aggies to see Randy perform at Kyle Field. We urge all Aggies to include the “Randy Matson Day” ceremonies in their weekend activities and back Randy in his last home attempt to break another record. More than 800 cadets in AFROTC will be organized into two wings of two groups each, Colonel Head added. Group as signment to wings and squadron assignment to groups will differ slightly. “Reorganization is being car ried out to simplify command line procedures,” the ranking A&M Air Force officer explained.

DEATH IN ROME by Robert Katz For the millions of readers of Barbara W. Tuchman’s The Guns of August and Cornelius Ryan’s The Longest Day, here is history in the same exciting manner: the tense, minute-by-minute true story of the 24 hours that led to the Nazi massacre of 335 civilians in the Via Ardeatine caves. i 0BE, ka: It begins in the last days of the German occupation of Rome. A Wehrmacht “police” column is ambushed in a narrow street by a group of Italian partisans. Half the Germans in the column are wounded, 33 are killed. The story builds to excruciating suspense as Himmler and Hitler, notified by telephone, hysterically demand the execution of ten Italians for every German—and the Gestapo grimly selects its “death candidates.” Pope Pius XII remained silent, although he knew about the massacre in advance. Only one man, miraculously, escaped. Spam BfV-fSss ROME A masterpiece of reporting reveals the whole story for the first time.
