Here At Town Hall Friday) Clears 26 Car-Burglary Cases
“Soul Men” Sam and Dave un
leash their simple, spontaneous
and primitive music Friday in a
special attraction for students,
area patrons and football week
end visitors.
A single event admission ticket
performance, the 8 p.m. Town
Hall special will be staged in
G. Rollie White Coliseum, an
nounced Town Hall chairman
Louis Adams.
“IN THE SIX years they have
been together, Sam Moore and
DOUBLE DYNAMITE
Sam and Dave, soul music stars, perform Friday at Texas
A&M. Their 8 p. m., G. Rollie White Coliseum performance
is a special attraction for which single event tickets must
be purchased.
Dave Foster have created
markable reputation as the most
exciting twosome on the soul
music scene,” Adams added.
Their first record, “It Was So
Nice While It Lasted,” was is
sued in 1965 and became a rhythm
and blues hit.
Subsequent hits “I Take What I
Want,” “Ain’t No B i g Thing
Baby,” “A Place Nobody Can
Find” and others led to the
smash “Hold On I’m Comin.” The
result was full attention of pop
fans, setting the stage for their
first gold record.
“SOUL MAN” leaped to the
top of the trade paper charts in
a few short weeks last fall and
sold over a million copies.
A followup album by the same
name achieved best-selling class
ification soon after release in
October, 1967.
Billed as the “Double Dyna
mite” duo, Sam and Dave offer
a simple explanation for their
great act.
“WE SIMPLY try to do a little
more than required. If it means
we have to sing one song for 50
minutes, we sing the song for 50
minutes. If it means we have to
perform an hour without stop
ping, then we stay at it 60 min
utes,” they said.
Sam and Dave, both from Mi
ami though Foster originally
called Ocilla, Ga., home, played
in England and Europe with the
Stax-Volt Revue early last year.
They starred with other top acts
such as Otis Redding, Carla Thom*
as, Booker T and the MG’s, Ed
die Floyd and the Mar-Keys.
Their reception was as enthusi
astic there as at home.
Adams said reserved seat and
general admission tickets are
available at the Student Program
Office in the Memorial Student
Center.

Rotary Sets Broadway Show
A French farce transplanted
by Abe Burrows from Paris
boulevards to New York settings
for a 37-month — and — still
going — Broadway run will ap
pear Monday at the Bryan Civic
Auditorium.
“Cactus Flower,” starring
Jeannie Carson and Biff Mc
Guire, is the second production
of the Rotary Community Series
in cooperation with Town Hall.
JEANNIE CARSON and Biff
McGuire have previously toured
America’s larger cities in major
attractions “Camelot” and “110
in the Shade.” She appeared
widely as Maria Rainer in “The
Sound of Music.”
The husband-wife acting team
will play for Rotary Series sea
son ticket holders and A&M stu
dents who purchase single event
tickets.
Burrows wrote such previous
hits as “Guys and Dolls” and
“How to Succeed in Business
Without Really Trying.”
IN “CACTUS FLOWER,” he
transformed the Gallic aura of a
French farce into American en-
P.M
;ion
tion
tertainment called “firmly hilari
ous, richly comic” by a New
York Times reviewer.
The story concerns a play-boy
dentist’s efforts to protect his
bachelor status. It moves from
a fashionable New York den
tist’s office, to a Greenwich Vil
lage pad, to a record shop, then
a swinging night club.
MISS CARSON plays a prim
nurse-receptionist who is per
suaded to pose as the dentist’s
supposed wife in order to extri
cate him from a tangle of lies
brought on by his care-free life.
Biff McGuire, as the dentist,
is provoked into announcing he
will marry a girl named Toni
with whom he has been having
an affair. Then his deceptions
come home to roost.
WHEN THE nurse assumes
the role of pseudo-wife, she be
gins to play it for real and, like
the cactus which rarely blossoms,
she blooms splendidly at the
right time.
Henry Newes in “Saturday Re
view” called it “the funniest
show of the year.”
A limited number of single
event tickets for A&M students
and dates only are on sale at the

Walton Hall has devised a new
system of record keeping, an
nounced Bert Brown, a graduate
student and head resident of Wal
ton. The system utilizes the speed
and accuracy of the computer.
Students filled out a question-
aire upon moving into Walton
listing name, classification, ma
jor, and room and telephone num
bers. They also told whether they
had a car, how many semesters
they had lived in Walton, their
hometown, and listed four choices
for intramural sports.
Information was then trans
ferred by students to IBM cards.
“Now,” said Brown, “almost any
information desired can be ob
tained in short order.”
Cards are run through a card
reader to pick the ones desired.
Those picked are run through the
computer to obtain a list.
“Numerous uses for the sys
tem have already been found,”
said Brown. “When each intra
mural sport starts, a list of those
interested is printed for the ath
letic manager.”
“In addition,” he added, “each
resident adviser, as well as the
hall counselor, now has an al
phabetical list of the residents
and information about them.”
“A hall directory has been
printed, and there is a list of
students by major for those who
may need help in a subject,”
Brown said. “For those who need
rides, a list by hometown is avail
able.”
The originator and program
mer for the system is Gary Hamil
ton, a junior electrical engineer
ing major from La Porte. He has
had previous experience with data
collecting, which helped him to
organize an efficient system of
gathering and maintaining files.
When a student moves out of
the hall, his card is destroyed.
For those who move in, a card
is punched.
“The system,” said Brown, “has
considerably lingthened the work
load of the hall staff. It saves
time, effort, and mistakes. It
is almost a necessity.”
“It’s value,” he added, “can only
be appreciated when compared
to the many hours of human la
bor that are eliminated by only
seconds of computer time.”

Three Snare
Impressions
Of Czech Visit
By TIM SEARSON
Battalion Staff Writer
“Czechoslovakia 1968,” the story
of a nation being suppressed be
cause of the evolution of demo
cratic beliefs, was the theme for
the first Great Issues panel dis
cussion Tuesday night.
Guest speakers to the audience
of 80 in the Assembly Room
of the Memorial Student Cen
ter were Psychology Department
head Dr. William R. Smith and
his wife and Jeanna Chastain,
A&M coed.
“The main ipurpose of our
Czechoslovakia-based business-in
dustrial program is to exchange
leaders to talk about the issues
that affect production in their
countries,” said Smith.
“LAST SUMMER we presented
papers on marketing, financing
and international trade to some
Czech economists. On the third
day of the meetings the Russians
entered Prague.”
Smith mentioned that the pro
gram would have improved eco
nomic conditions, bringing more
trade, a stronger currency and
product-oriented competition to
the Czechs.
SMITH NOW predicts that the
Czech standard of living will de
teriorate since the country has
bent to Soviet pressure by agree
ing to send 75 per cent of the
country’s production to Russia.
Mrs. Smith discussed the im
pression of the invasion from a
woman’s viewpoint. She found a
marked difference in the general
attitude of the Czech people since
the first visit she and her hus
band made to the country.
“THE CZECHS have been sup
pressed by various people for
centuries. The people have been
deprived of the simplest luxuries
for so long and, when their demo
cratic beliefs were surfacing, they
were stifled once again.”
MISS CHASTAIN, a sopho
more pre-veterinary medicine stu
dent from San Antonio, is secre
tary of Great Issues and chair
man of the Travel Committee.
She was the “daughter” of a
Czech family this summer in the
Experiment in International Liv
ing.
Miss Chastain arrived in the
country June 30, and immediately
noted the resentment by the
Czech students to the Warsaw
Pact troops already in the coun
try.
theft, both misdemeanor and
felony.
“WE CONSIDER a case clear
ed, as far as our records are
concerned, if the party involved
is apprehended and is ready to
stand trial,” said Sgt. J. D.
Gossett, campus criminal inves
tigator.
“Although punishing the of
fenders is the main object, it is
unfortunate that all stolen items
cannot always be recovered,” he
added. “We try to take notes at
the time of a theft or other
criminal act in order to keep a
running record of crime on cam
pus.”
“CAMPUS SECURITY has
cleared approximately 26 of the
32 September cases of breaking
and entering cars by recent ques
tioning of persons charged in
numerous other local thefts. Com
plete details on the cases are
pending as further information
is sought from the proceedings.
“Information on the thefts was
gained with the full cooperation
of the Bryan and College Station
Police Departments,” Sgt. Gossett
noted.
ON OCT. 20, Bryan Police ar
rested Fred Henry Jenkins, 17,
and a 15-year-old accomplice on
Oct. 15. Tyrone Toliner, 17, and
Albert Thompson, 18, were appre
hended the next day on informa
tion received from Jenkins and
his juvenile partner.
Also arrested Oct. 16 was An
drew Ruiz, manager of Eddie’s
Place on N. Main St. He was
charged with hiding and selling
the stolen merchandise including
television sets, radios, tape decks
and fire arms, according to Gos
sett.
ALL FIVE subjects were issued
statutory warnings before Peace
Justice Jess B. McGee, and bond
was set at $5,000 for each of
them. None is connected with
A&M.
Besides thefts and breaking
and entering offenses committed
on campus, the five also were
charged with local burglaries at
Gibson’s Discount Center, Sears,
Bryan Auto Supply, K. C. Hall,
Frank Sirkorskie’s Place, The
Hitchin’ Post, County Bus Gar
age, Producer’s Co-op, Goree El
lison’s Stables, and a boxcar near
Kimbell’s Feed Store.
JENKINS AND his
plice were originally apprehended
for questioning in connection
with an attempted burglary at
Orr’s Supermarket in downtown
Bryan.
There is some overlapping
among the 67 September criminal
offenses, as 15 of 17 cases of
felony theft also included charges
of breaking and entering ve
hicles. Of a total of 25 theft
cases, eight were misdemeanor
theft.
Gossett noted that he divides
criminal acts into categories of
misdemeanor theft, felony theft,
abusive phone calls, window
peepers, misuse of guns, break
ing and entering buildings, break
ing and entering cars, hit and
run, vandalism, and shoplifting.
“ALL OUR offenses this year
are running below normal for
any campus I know of,” he said.
“Also, the total number of cases
at A&M this year is lower than
the total up to this time last
year.
“I am proud of the people
here, both faculty and students.
We are receiving excellent co
operation from them. Also, we
are better organized with more
personnel in the department and
with the addition of a procedure
for criminal investigation.”
WITH NEW appropriations in
this year’s budget, the Campus
Security has added four positions
for a total of 14 uniformed men
plus Security Chief Ed Powell.
The only major incidents in
volving A&M students occurred
on the weekend of Oct. 11-12
with the arrests of six Aggies in
connection with gasoline and
sign thefts. All six were appre
hended on campus in three sep
arate arrests.
Weekend thefts of auto hub
caps were cleared Oct. 21 with
the arrests of Cecil Edward
Banks, 22, and his brother Cal
vin Lawrence Banks, 19. Neither
was enrolled at A&M.
“We have also got some pretty
good leads on other offenses that
we need to check on first before
anything can be reported,” Gos
sett concluded.

Price noted as office personnel
began settling down to regular
office routine late Monday after
noon.
The dean said total occupancy
of the Veterinary Medical Ad
ministration is still “expected”
by Nov. 22. The new building
will include elements of path

and medicine and surgery.
Final renovation of all existing
facilities will take another 90
days. With the moving last week
of the library staff and Price’s
office personnel this week, ren
