1 ■ Page 2 THE BATTALION College Station, Texas Thursday, August 24, 1967 CADET SLOUCH by Jim Earle Aggie Band Reports Early To Prepare For First Game A06-C~l It’s here where a semester is won or lost!” The Old Editor Greets The New Charles Rowton Editor; The Battalion ’GT-’GS Charlie; It’s been a long 11 months for me, but it is an experi ence that I’ll never forget, or be able to forget. Being editor of The Battalion is the most thorough way of getting to know ALL there is to know about A&M — its traditions and its people. You will have lots of advantages as you begin your term in office that I didn’t have. As a transfer student, I knew little about life at A&M, and after only three short weeks .here, I found, myself in a position where a complete knowledge of Aggieland is a necessity. I had to learn quickly that “the Aggies never lose” a ballgame, and that the Aggie Spirit is something that never fluctuates — it is always tops. You’ll find that you’ll be working closely with lots of Aggies who are constantly ready to lend a hand. They may not always agree with the stand you take, but only in silence will they return all of their copies of the Batt to your office or burn them publicly in front of the “C”. There may be murmurings against you and false ru mors spread about your character, but it is just part of being in a responsible position. You’ll have lots of deadlines to meet, but you must remember that your studies come first. You can always drop a course. A loyal and faithful staff will be your best asset, even though it may change several times during a month. Being good Aggies, the few meager coins that you will be able to offer them for their services will suffice. You’ll learn to ignore their complaining. The position you now hold is one of high esteem among your fellow A&M journalists, too. The mere fact that you were chosen over all the other applicants is an honor in itself. After all, both of them will have other chances dur ing their next three years here. Yes, Charlie, it’s been a long 11 months, but as an ex perience, it has been invaluable. I hope you will have just as much fun as I have had learning to live without sleep. Okay, Charlie, it’s your year . . . ho, ho, ho! Winston Green Jr. Editor ’66-’G7 The Texas Aggie Band will report 10 days ahead of the reg ular A&M student body in early September to prepare a halftime performance and music for the Sept. 16 Southwest Conference football game with Southern Methodist. The bandmaster, Lt. Col. E. V. Adams, said the organization will use as many as six drills a day to hold 45 rehearsals for the na tionally-televised 3:30 p.m. game. A similar plan was followed in 1963 to prepare for an A&M game at LSU. “The band will alternate in door and outdoor session s,” Adams said. “We will have time to get in a more complicated drill and much better playing sound.” The director said the band should easily be able to field its usual marching size of 255 men (12 per rank, 21 per file and three drum majors) for the state’s first major football con test. The nationally renowned band will check in freshmen and re turning students from every ma jor city in Texas and an area covering California to New Hampshire and North Dakota to Mexico City. The bandsmen report Sept. 2-4 while regular returning students will be back on campus for fall semester registration Sept. 14-15. Classes begin Sept. 18. The 1967-68 consolidated band commander, Henry G. Cisneros, indicated the pre-registration practice is receiving enthusiastic support from bandsmen. “We’re tickled about all that practice time, especially since it won’t cause any missed study ing,” the senior said. His combined bands staff, Ma roon and White Band command ers and first sergeants, schol astic and supply personnel will check in Sept. 2. New band Business School Lists Visiting Prof Dr. Marian L. Piotrowski, form erly of Henderson State Teachers College in Arkansas, has been named a visiting professor of fin ance in Texas A&M’s School of Business.

Publisher Texas A&M University Reporter Pat Hill Sports Editor Jerry Grisham members arrive Sept. 3 and other bandsmen return Sept. 4. Adams said the first practice toward installing the game per formance will be Sept. 4 at 3 p.m. in the Dorm 11 band hall. The first outside work will be at 4:30 p.m. “We will work longer sessions under the practice field lights at night, when it’s cooler,” Adams added. He announced that music to be used in the Sept. 16 drill includes the “Aggie War Hymn,” “March of the Charioteer” from the movie, “Ben Hur,” and “Moon- shot,” a new Ted Mesang march. Practice will not be held Sun day and the majority of the 45 drills are scheduled during the first week. Working practices around new student conferences, the commandant’s commanders conference, freshman registra tion Sept. 13 and early class reg istration of bandsmen Sept. 14 will lighten the second week load. Band members will reside in Dorms 9 and 11, two of the 12 recently air-conditioned struc tures in the Duncan Dining Hall area. The dorms have also been repainted and are to be refurn ished. Adams said the band will have two practice periods a week dur ing the regular semester this year, on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 8 a.m. Also new in the bank program will be grade point cred it for sophomores and freshmen.
