Past Director
Of Aggie Band
Dies In Waco
A former Texas A&M band
director, Alois Slovacek, died re
cently and was buried in Waco.
Aggie bandmaster from 1917
to 1920, Slovacek, who was 86,
had the present A&M director as
a cornet student in the former
Bryan Junior Band.
Lt. Col. E. V. Adams played in
the private organization with
several other local youths, includ
ing present Bryan residents Sam
Knox, Charles Edge, Hendricks
Conway, Harry Dishman and
Louis Nedbalek.
Slovacek was a longtime resi
dent of Waco where he owned
and operated a music company
opened in 1927. He organized
and directed several Waco area
bands, collected rare musical in
struments and invented small ap
pliances and parts for instru
ments.
He came to the U. S. from
Czechoslovakia at the age of six
and taught himself to play var
ious instruments. He played with
the famed bands of Bohumir
Krejl, Frederick Innes, Jaroslav
Cimera and the Royal Scotch
Highlanders before appointment
as A&M bandmaster.
Among survivors is a son,
Alois Jr. of La Habra, Calif. The
younger Slovacek is a trumpet
soloist and director of orchestras
and musical groups for Holly
wood film studio recording.

Superfish Here To Stay,
Reports Florida Official
MIAMI, Fla. <A>) — They’re not
as big or as vicious as early re
ports indicated, but Florida’s
walking catfish are here to stay.
John W. Woods, chief of the
fisheries division of the Game
and Fresh Water Fish Commis
sion, said Tuesday the weird fish
can move over land on fins that
propel them in a snake-like mo
tion.
“It’s impossible to get rid of
them. All we can do is hope it
won’t be too bad,” Woods said.
Woods said a survey led to the
capture of 4,000 specimen and
showed that the catfish infest
most of the canals in Palm Beach
and Broward counties, and have
moved into the Miami area.
EQUALLY at home in fresh
and salty water, the fish are be
lieved to have been introduced
by Floridians who bought them
for household tanks, tired of
them and then dumped the fish
into canals.
“They will be with us now as
one of our fish,” Woods said.
In Florida the fish are growing
to a maximum of about 15 to 17
inches long, much smaller than
fish experts predicted.
WOODS SAID shrimp, snails,
tadpoles and smaller fish have
been found in stomaches of the
catfish, raising the possibility
they could offset the balance of
nature by devouring desirable
game fish.

Longley Resigns Position
From Consol School Board
A&M Consolidated Independ
ent School District Board of
Trustees accepted the resignation
of John B. Longley this week.
In a communique to the board
Longley said, “I consider it a real
privilege to have served on the
Board of Trustees for the past
eight and one half years.”
Longley, a vice-president of an
insurance company, explained
that “beginning on or about De
cember 1, 1968, my business
activities will require me to be
out of town a major portion of
the time. It appears that my
schedule for the next six months
or so will prevent my attendance
at regular meetings.”
“For these reasons I respect
fully request that you accept my
immediate resignation from the
Board of Trustees of the A&M
Consolidated Independent School
District.”
Longley served as secretary of
the board in 1960 and as the
president of the board from 1963
to 1965. “I feel the A&M Con
solidated Board has a lot of im
portant work and that they will
need a full time member to func
tion properly,” commented Long
ley Wednesday night.
Greer Scholarship
Aids Four Aggies
The D. C. Greer Scholarship
Fund is helping four civil engi
neering students advance their
academic careers at Texas A&M
this year.
The five recipients include two
seniors and two juniors. The
seniors are Fahri Y. Baskurt of
Ankara, Turkey, and Darrell
Boethel of Beeville. Michael G.
Hogan of Tomball and Randy J.
Rector of San Angelo are the
juniors.
The Civil Engineering Scholar
ship Committee recently named
the scholarship winners. Chair
man is M. Drahn Jones, associate
professor of civil engineering.
Baskurt and Boethel received
$500 each with $400 going to
both Hogan and Rector.
The civil engineering endow
ment fund totaling more than
$62,500 was established here last
year in honor of State Highway
Engineer Dewitt C. Greer. It
was raised by statewide public
subscription.
Proceeds from the endowment
will be used to provide under
graduate scholarships for civil
engineering students interested
in careers as highway engineers.
Greer, who has retired after
40 years with the state highway
department, is a 1923 graduate
of Texas A&M.
