Dollar, director Food Services. Dollar pointed out that he d no problems he couldn’t ov- :ome, but at the moment he s faced with a shortage of »ks and waiters. He said his kitchen arrange ment was not compatible to cafe teria serving but his staff, short by 60 cooks, was striving for a more efficient operation. Several factors attributed to long cafeteria lines. According to Dollar, “We didn’t have e- nough waiters at the right time, some of the ID cards were stam ped wrong, new students always add to the confusion, and the lines were unbalanced because One of the top-rated orches- is in the nation, the Houston mphony, will perform Friday ;ht in the Bryan Civic Audi- rium.

With Andre Previn conducting, ie Houston Symphony will pre- nt selected music of Brahms, [human and Beethoven. The Houston Symphony, com- rised of 90 musicians, has been ailed by critics throughout the ation, A New York Herald Tribune itic wrote, “The City of Hous- n has every reason to be proud its orchestra. Its sound is ght, flexible and infinitely iried. It produces a striking ass of big sound, and also pro ices some wonderful, clean annissimos. It is an orchestra iat can do full justice to a well- alanced and demanding pro ram,” The critic for The Saturday eview said, “A revaluation of ie relative skills of American thestras is very much overdue, ouston, clearly, has one of the est.” Houston’s Symphony has been iscribed by many as the city’s trown jewel.” Critics note the ajority of musicians in the sym- lony are in their thirties and st this as a reason for the tality and added zest for which k orchestra has been so often tclaimed. Harriet Johnson of the New ork Post wrote that the Hous- Hians played as if their love music and opportunity for ex- fessing it were more important ian the job, per se. Critics also have plenty to say lout Previn, conductor-in-chief the orchestra. Lauded as a inductor of “insight, dynamism id instinctive authority,” Previn draws acclaim for being lie to communicate with young Udiences as well as seasoned mcert-goers. Previn has been a guest con- actor for numerous American ichestras, including the New ork Philharmonic, Chicago, Min- fapolis, St. Louis, Dallas, San ntonio and Los Angeles. The symphony also will pre- int a 2:30 p.m. Friday concert ir public school children in the Bryan-College Station area. Tick ets, at 50 cents each, are avail able from principals and home room teachers. The program is presented through the cooperation of the MSC Town Hall Committee, the Rotary Community Series and the local school systems. one line was overloaded when two were open.” To remedy waiting in line the Food Service director has open ed the cafeteria lines at 4:30 for the evening meal. The long Tines at breakfast time were attributed to students trying to eat at the same time. “It seems that everybody shows up at 15 ’til eight to get served,” he said. “The seven-day meal plan stu dents have two lines serving them, same as the five-day plan students,” Dollar pointed out.. In line with striving for a “more efficient” operation Dol lar has put in new equipment such as ice dispensers, punch and tea machines, new ovens, new grills and new coffee makers. Supplementing the main meal, seconds on such items as beef stew, braised beef, stewed fra nks, beef & noodles, spaghetti and meat sauce, cake, cobblers, salmon salad, chile and beans, milk and many others were be ing served, Dollar said. “The upstairs cafeteria on the southside of Sbisa is half com plete and by next year we’ll be able to handle more students,” Dollar revealed. “The cash line will probably be moved to another location,” he said. “Normally we wouldn’t have any problems but the newly ap proved seven and five-day plans hit us as an unknown factor,” Dollar pointed out., “I figure it’ll take at least two weeks for things to smooth out,” he concluded.

Nagel and Clayton L. Coston of Houston were the first AFROTC seniors to take to the air at Texas A&M this semester. The cadets are participating in the Air Force’s Flight Instruc tion Program (FIP) for prospec tive pilots. Col. Vernon L. Head, professor of aerospace studies, said the program of ground school and flight training in single engine aircraft is designed to screen the Air Force’s future fighter and bomber pilots. “The Air Force has a lower washout rate among pilot train ees who have been in FIP,” he added. “The program simply screens out those cadets who don't have aptitude for flying.” Colonel Head said 46 A&M cadets are receiving 20 hours of ground school and 36 hours of flight instruction this semester. Ground school, covering federal aviation regulations, navigation, weather and flight planning, is instructed by Maj. Deward John son of the Aerospace Studies De partment. “The cadets will receive the equivalent of $700 flying instruc tion,” Johnson commented. “Their actual flight training parallels in struction a civilian receives in ac quiring a private pilot’s license.” In the aircraft, cadets learn pre-flight procedures, taxing, maintaining straight and level flight, aircraft attitudes in stalls, spins and other situations and cross country flight procedures. Individuals usually solo in 10 hours of instruction. Students completing the course may acquire a private pilot’s license by taking the Federal Aviation Agency written examin ation and check ride. Johnson pointed out that private licens ing is not required, but that the course completion ride can serve as the FA A check ride. Licensing requirements are more stringent. Only AFROTC cadets within a year of commissioning may en ter the program. 11 A.M. 9 P.M.
