Hoffman Military Writer ASHINKTON UP) — The ed services surprisingly are ing their enlistment quotas— then some — despite Presi- jent Nixon’s moves to reduce the impact of the draft, f Enlistment figures from the Amy, Marines, Navy and Air Force show they have had no trouble reaching their volunteer ob ectives. IThis comes as a surprise to e Pentagon manpower offi- s. They anticipated a drop enlistments after Nixon more a month ago canceled No- iber-December draft calls and |d he would order Selective ice reforms about Jan. 1.

But they are particular ly pleased because enlistments haven’t slackened amid rising public ferment over the war in Vietnam. The Army recruiting command reported it signed up 20,525 young men during September — 114.7 per cent of the objective of 17,900. Nixon made his announcement Sept. 19, which left more than a third of the month in which a downtrend in enlistments could have taken hold. October Army enlistments ran ahead of schedule for the first 12 days of the month, the latest period for which figures are available. A total of 6,027 men volunteered, nearly 38 per cent of the month’s goal. The Marine Corps said its Sep tember enlistment quota of 6,100 was exceeded by 68 men and its October quota of 6,200 was more than half filled as of Oct. 11. The Navy reported it planned for 8,000 volunteers in Septem- Off The Record ber, and 8,046 signed on. The Navy’s October objective of 7,482 enlistments also was more than half subscribed as of mid-October. The Air Force asked for 7,342 volunteers in September but fell 9 men short. No Air Force fig ures are available as yet for October enrollments. Although the bulk of draftees go into the Army, the presence of the Selective Service has an impact on the availability of vol unteers for the other services. Secretary of Defense Melvin R. Laird canceled the Novem- ber-December draft calls total ing 50,000 and ordered that the October draft call of 29,000 be spread over the three-month period. He has forecast a January draft call of 35,000 men, but has said that this will be reviewed during December. If enlistments remain up, the January call need not be in creased and possibly could be decreased. by Gary McDonald •m 1ARABAJAGAL — Donovan -v fwk is a long-time Donovan fan, w tmi a bit disappointed in this urn.

They are not the kind of group that will make any significant impact on the music scene, but they will be enjoyed by many people for dancing and having a good time. Then, after an album or two, they will probably break up or just fade into the oblivion of similar rock groups. Grand Funk Railroad makes a self-conscious effort at playing hard and heavy rock. This album gives both the rewards and short comings of that kind of effort. Among the assets of this style are energetic blues numbers like “Time Machine” and hard rock ers like “High On A Horse”. The deficiencies include the heavy gruo’s almost mandatory heavy handed drum solo and the monotonous and sluggish, a la Vanilla Fudge, “Heartbreaker”. If the lesser groups like Grand Funk Railroad can continue to produce music like this, the rock scene should remain healthy. “On Time” is really likeable if you do not think about what you are listening to, but do not be surprised if you tire of it quickly. al remedial guidi i s effective only once or ;n both during ice an album.

A&M’s 1939 national football team will mark its 30th anniver sary reunion here this weekend during the Aggie-Baylor football game. Forty of the 51 living players and coaches are expected to at tend the three-day reunion, ac cording to the Association of Former Students. A Saturday noon luncheon at Briarcrest Country Club will hon or A. G. (Bert) Pfaff, Tyler in dustrialist and “father” to the team. Pfaff was a member of the late Coach Homer Norton’s coaching staff when the Aggies won No. 1 rating with its 11-0-0 record in 1939. More than 140 persons are ex pected for the luncheon, with Houston Chronicle columnist Morrjs Frank serving as master of ceremonies. H. B. (Mac) McElroy, A&M sports publicity director during that era, will receive the Helms Foundation Athletic Hall of Fame Award during the luncheon, with A&M President Earl Rudder making the presentation to the College Station resident. This is the first year sports information directors have been included in the honored group. Six members of the 1939 team named to Halls of Fame also will be honored. They include the late Coach Norton, the late Bill (Jit terbug) Henderson, the late Coach W. N. (Uncle Bill) James, John Kimbrough, the Rev. Joe Boyd and Coach-Trainer Lil Dim- mitt. J. Howard Shelton, President of the Gateway National Bank in Fort Worth, is president of the 1939 National Champions Team. Registration starts at 3 p.m. Friday in the reunion headquar ters, College Station’s Sands Mo tel. A poolside buffet will start at 8 p.m. with continuous show ing of the 1939 game films held from 7-10 p.m. Friday and 2-4 p.m. Saturday. The group will attend the 7:30 p.m. A&M-Baylor football game at Kyle Field, a hospitality room will be open after the game and a brunch buffet-business meeting is planned for 10 a.m. Sunday. The undefeated, untied 1939 team set a national defense rec ord that has stood the test of time. The national record still stands today. A&M allowed its opponents just 76.3 yards per game rushing and passing. This figured out to 1.71 yards per offensive play and they limited the 11 teams to a total of 54 first downs that sea son. Of 175 passes attempted against the 1939 Aggies, 48 were completed and 28 were intercept ed for a .274 completion percent age. Twelve of 16 opponent fum bles were recovered by A&M. Three of the team members won All-American honors with fullback John Kimbrough making the teams in 1939 and 1940; tackle Joe Boyd in 1939, and the late Marshall Robnett, a guard, on the 1940 team. Including those three, the team also produced 10 All-Southwest Conference play- Effective last January 1, every mechanically propelled boat or one designed to be propelled by oars and less than 26 feet in length carrying two or more pas sengers must have a capacity plate permanently affixed if man ufactured or ofefred for sale in New York State.
