12 showmen by Ray Helm of
Southwest Texas State College in
San Marcoe.
The show was divided into three
classes: Jersey heifers owned by
AAM Dairy Science Club mem
bers, Jersey heifers owned by
AAM, and Holstein heifers owned
by AAM. Classes were judged for
type and showmanship.
In the first class of chib mem
ber-owned heifers, Janak won
first in both type and showman
ship, while Paul Castenaon of
Bryan received the second place
ribbons and Melvin Ashorn of
Brenham collected third piece rib
bon* in both events.
In the second class of Jersey
heifers, Harold Luedecke of Bry
an won first in type and second
in showmanship; Leonard A.
Switser of Sunnyvale won second
in type end third in showmanship;
Dale Lonsford of Pasadena, Tex
as, won third in type and first in
showmanship; and Leon Amcri-
cue of Tampico, Mexico, won
fourth in both events.
In the Jersey heifers event,
Janak won Grand Champion in
both showmanship and type, while
Luedecke won Reserve Champion
in type and Lonsford won Reserve
Champion in showmanship.
Ribbons and breed trophy* were
donated by the Holstein-Prieaian
Association of Texas and the
Texas Jersey Cattle Club.
The Rev. C. W. Black told the
meeting the Negro community
was shocked to find out that San
Antonio police sport riot equip
ment, such ea baseball bat length
stick* called “baton*,” mace, tear
gas and hard hats.
“What else doee the city have
to deal with theae disorders?” he
•*id “Has this dty got a tank?”
Bkhael said hi* men have
equipment that “is becoming
standard” over the nation, like
the chemical mace, tear gas, riot
stick for use in crowd control and
the like. Bichsel said there have
been no purchases of unusual
equipment but added, “I don't in
tend to give a fill) inventory of
eur equipment. It’s not logical
and shouldn’t be expected.”
Bkhael said he knew the Tues
day meeting of Negroes and the
Community Relations Commission
was scheduled “but I hadn’t been
notified when it waa to be held.
I wasn’t asked to be there.”
City Mgr. Jerry Henckel turned
down Wednesday five demands
voiced by the Negroes. The Ne
gro group indicated they wanted
establishment of a civilian review
board to handle charges of police
brutality; a promise that charge*
be dropped against all “innocent”
persona involved in the melee;
medical damages for those in
jured; assurances that those who
tcBtified Tuesday would not be
“harassed” by police, and an ac
counting of money spent by po
lice on riot equipment.
The city went on record last
week with an apology to “inno
cent persons” caught up in the
April 22 disturbance, which saw
hundreds of riot - clad and
squipped officers converge on
downtown. The incident resulted
in arrest of 34 persons, 29 of
whom were released without the
filing of charges.

to fly the old DeHaviland DH-4 to San Francisco, thence east along the old mail route
with an ultimate destination of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington. (AP Wire-

Aerial
Useful
Photos May Provide
Facts For Farmers
Aerial photography may soon
help direct fleet* to achooia of
fish and tell aeegoing skipper*
about height of wave* and ve
locity of wind.
It may also be able to provide
fanner* with valuable informa
tion about the presence of insects
or disease infectationa on agri
cultural crops long before they
could be detected by the naked
eye during a walk through the
fields.
Dr. Robert N. Colwell, profes
sor of forestry at the University
of California at Berkeley, predict
ed the developments Wednesday
Go 1,600 miles
during a visit to Texas AAM. He
was on campua to address the
600-member Society of the Sigma
Xi.
“New and better uses of remote
sensing are being found almost
daily for inventory of the earth's
resources,” Colw-ell noted. “One
of the easiest things to determine
by remote sensing is the smount
of land being used for growing
crops or left fallow."\
Colwell, since 1964, has had
collateral duty as chief of the
NASA-USDA Forestry Remote
Sensing Laboratory. He has been
visiting scientist-lecturer for the
Society of American Forester*
and the American Society of Pho-
tognunmetry.
Pictures don’t lie, the speaker
stressed. He has photographs
which he says prove that land-
use checking can be accomplished
by photo# from earth orbit.
“With remote sensing,” Colwell
said, “you can conduct an inven
tory on livestock in a given area.
Using the proper techniques, you
can differentiate between cattle
and sheep on pictures taken frofc
altitudes of 5,000 to 6,000 feet."
Colwell noted most work of this
type is being done for the USDA,
the California Department of Ag
riculture or the division of for-
estry. Some research, however,
is underway for private industry.
For instance, the California
Wine Advisory Board ia interest
ed in the acreage of vineyards and
the number of raisin “trays" in
these vineyards, he explained,
adding that photos from 17,000
feet can bo interpreted to ascer
tain how many two-by-three-feet
raisin trays are in a particular
vineyard.
Other aerial photography proj
ects help wildlife experts deter
mine the number of deer in a spe
cific area, if the timber is not
particularly dense, Colwell point
ed o«tt. a
A highlight of the Sigma Xi
banquet was presentation of $50
graduate awards to Dr. Donald R.
Drew, AAM associate professor
of civil engineering and Dr. Jack
Rogers Gipson, who recently com
pleted a doctorate in plant physi
ology at AAM.

Who would you like to see in
next year’s Town Hail Series

It’s not quits that easy. To
schedule and present a successful
series requires nearly a year of
planning, hard work and a lot of
luek.
Preparation for next year’s
Town Hall Series began last fall.
J. Wayne Stark, Memorial Stu
dent Center director and tempor
ary Town Hall advisor, attended
a meeting of the National Associ
ation of Concert Managers in
New York.
STARK, WHO REPLACED
Robert L. Boone (the regular
Town Hall advisor now working
on his Ph-D.), made a list of the
acceptable talent available at cer
tain times.
“Stark knows what kind of
people to get,” Robert Consoles,
current Town Hall chairman said.
“Wa want performers of good
character who put on a show
that the whole family can go to.”
At this point the selection com
mittee goes into action. Members
first decide when they would like
to schedule Town Hall events.
Then from the list of entertainers
available at these times, the com
mittee makes a first and second
choice and submits a bid to the
performers. t
IF A PERFORMER ACCEPTS
a bid, he has a contract drawn
up and sent to thu. committee.
Harold W. Gaines, student group
advisor, acts as a behind • the -
scenes advisor and helps the staff
iron out contract difficulties.
Any necessary changes in the
contract are made; it is signed
and sent back to the performer.
Whenever he signs it, the con
tract is completed.
As each performance date rolls
around, throe staff committees,
each performing different duties,
begin to function at prescribed
tfaeoa.
“A couple of weeks before a
show, the publicity committee be
gins a public relations and adver
tising campaign thr4«fch Asdic,
television, newspapers and -por
ters,” Louis Adams, next year’s
Town Hall chairman, said.
THE HOUSE COMMITTEE be-
to function the day before
the entertainers are to arrive.
This is broken down into three
sub-committees; the host com
mittee, the stage committee, end
the ushers and doormen.
“Being on the host committee
is one of the most envisblr posi
none,” Gonzales declared. “Their
job is to meet the performers at
a pre-set place and take care of
them, show them around and be
sure that the money situation ia
settled with the group.”
A stage committee ia in charge
of setting up the entertainers’
equipment before the show and
packing it afterwards. The staff
also serves as doormen and ush-
The final committee handles
the business matters. It pays the
performers, building and utilities
fees and tha advertising expenses
during the intermission.
Every spring the chairman for
the next year’s Town Hall Series
Is chosen from the staff juniors
The first action taken by the
new chairman is to eat up inter
views with sophomores wishing
to be next years Town Hall jun
iors. s
“The minimum grade point re
tie to be on any MSC staff is a
1.0 overall,” Gonzales said, "but
we feel that Town Hall is more
of an honored position, so we re
quire at least a 1.25 overall, a 1.25
the past semester, end a 1.25 in
future semesters.”
Gonaales also said that any
sophomore could apply if he has'
the grades. It’s not limited to^
Corps sophomores, but only shout
five per cent of the applicants'?!
are civilians.
“We don’t want any groads,”
Adams said. “Many people base
their opisions of Town Hall on
the appearance of the ushers and
doormen.” I,
THIS YEAR THERE HAVE
been or will be a total of 19 shows,
presented in connection with Town
Hall. This includes six Town Hall
regulars, four Town Hall extras,
five shows in the Rotary Com
munity Series, and four presenta
tions of the Artist Showcase Se
ries.
The Town Hall extra series
brings added entertainment to
the students at lower prices than
can be found anywhere. The stu-
I dent activity card entitles him to
a 50 per cent discount on these
tickets.
“Students at Texas AAM Uni-
vanity were admitted to the Town
Hall Regular Series programs
with their student activity card
which entitled them to see the
Standells, A1 Hirt, Montovani,
Fred Waring, the Association,
and the Fifth Dimension for less
than 15 cents s show,” Gonzales
