Beautiful Girls’

Parties every night with some
of the nation’s most beautiful
girls as dates provided four days
of excitement for members of the
Singing Cadets in their recent
trip to the Miss Teenage America
Contest in Fort Worth, according
to John Roby, publicity chairman
for the singing group.
“The Wednesday night we ar
rived, we had a big dance at the
Sheraton Hotel with the contest
ants,” Roby said.
Roby said that it didn’t take
long for the cadets to find their
“right girl” and added that many
of the couples that met that first
night dated each other for the
entire week.
“There wasn’t much competi
tion among us for the girls,”
Roby commented, “because all of
them were good-looking.”
Although the partying was fun,
the work at rehearsals was tiring
and often quite boring, Roby
added.
“We worked from 8 a.m. to 10
p.m. with a few breaks for eat
ing,” Roby said.
There were a lot of times when
the cadets just had to stay in one
position on stage for up to 30
minutes just so cameramen could
get the right television angle,
Roby remarked.
“The girls had it worse than
us though,” Roby said, “because
they had been rehearsing three
days longer than we had.”
Besides getting to spend time
with girls from across the nation,
the cadets got to meet and talk
with stars of the nationally tele
vised show.
Dick Clark, Oliver, Bobby Vann,
and Amy Vanderbilt were all
very approachable on the set and
were interesting to talk with,
Roby commented.
The probability is that at next
year’s Miss Teenage America
Contest, the Singing Cadets will
once again provide the back
ground music for the pageant.
With parties and dances every
night as inducement, many of
this year’s Singing Cadets are
planning on making the return
trip.

“Please relay to Yankee Clip
per that I had a visual on him,”
the commander told Mission Con
trol.
Conrad and Bean planned to
make two outside excursions.
The second outing is sched
uled to start at 12:32 a.m. Thurs
day. During this period they are
to collect documented rock sam
ples and attempt to walk 150 feet
down the sloping crater wall to
snip off parts an unmanned
Surveyor spacecraft that soft-
landed there in April 1967.
Ground controllers said Intre
pid’s touchdown proved out pro
cedures for pinpoint landing that
will be essential for future Apollo
crews who will try to land inside
craters and in mountainous areas.
They noted that last week
NASA had said the actual target
point was the Surveyor.
“They were coming in right
on top of the Surveyor,” report
ed capsule communicator Gerald
Carr. He said they, of course,
did not want to land on top of
the spacecraft and, as the flight
plan called for, “they picked out
the best available spot that look
ed good to them.”
Initial estimates placed Intre
pid 750 to 800 feet from the Sur
veyor, well within walking range.
Flight director Clifford
Charlesworth said, “We proved
tonight what we wanted to—the
pinpoint landing.”
Aggies Players Preparing
Stage for ‘Tobacco Road'
Off The Record

STAND UP—Jethro Tull
If you were wondering why
Jethro Tull was invited to play
at so many of those summer jazz
festivals, the answer is in this
album. As a rock group playing
jazz, they do justice to both idioms
as so few self-proclaimed jazz-
rock groups do. If not producing
a total sound that is more than
the sum of the elements it con
tains, it produces one at least
equal to that sum, which is not
true of, say, Blood, Sweat, and
Tears.
The principal force of the band
is flautist, Ian Anderson, who is
a nominee in the current Playboy
Jazz and Pop poll in the “Other
Instruments” category, which in-

eludes such notables as Ornette
Coleman, Roland Kirk, Charles
Lloyd, Herbie Mann, Sun Ra, and
Mongo Santamaria.
That is pretty illustrious com
pany. The album is comprised
solely of his compositions. Unlike
so many of his contemporaries
lately, he seems oblivious to all
the fads that threaten to make
rock music as trendy as the world
of fashion. It is just not that
kind of scene. While most lyricists
have stopped trying to do any
thing of any literary consequence
for fear of being labeled preten
tious, he goes right ahead and the
result is some deeply introspec
tive lyrics that at times are quite
provocative. Of course, some do
not succeed, but he maintains a
pretty good batting average.
The vast assortment of instru
ments they play gives them the
opportunity to produce a pleasing
variety of tones, textures, and
colors; an advantage they use
effectively. For example, contrast
the hard rock of “A New Day
Yesterday” to the eastern “Fat
Man” to “Bouree” with Ander
son’s breathy jazz solos to the
beautiful acoustic sound of “Rea
sons for Waiting.”
Because there is an infinite
number of sounds one can pro
duce with so many instruments,
it is doubtful that they will be
strained for material in the
future.
In a time when pop music is
becoming a shade stifling in its
sameness, I mean “everybody” is
going back to rock and roll or
country, this is a refreshing
album. It proves that just be
cause something is good for some,
everybody does not have to do it.
Rock had better learn that prin
ciple fast. As a corollary to that,
it proves there are enough unex
plored areas in music for many
people to do something different.

The Aggie Players are bring
ing life to Erskin Caldwell’s “To
bacco Road,” on the Guion Hall
stage.
The set to be seen in the Play
ers’ Dec. 9-13 production is ap
proaching its final stages of com
pletion as the crew, headed by
Travis Miller, work daily to bring
realism to the small Georgia
sharecropper plantation.
The scene is on the Tobacco
Road leading to Augusta, so
named because it was formed at
the time tobacco was still the
major product taken to market.
Jeeter Lester’s run-down shack
is seen to the left and as the sun
sets, its rays form patterns on
the wall, caused by missing shin
gles on the roof of the porch.
The shack could be fixed, but
Jester daily uses his energies try
ing to find credit so he can grow
a cotton crop. He doesn’t have
time to make repairs.
Due to the realism required by
the type of play, actual trees
have been used rather than built
and painted, as they were in
“Dinny and the Witches,” the
Players’ first production.
“The trees were one of the first
things put up,” said Robert
Wenck, technical adviser. “We
want the branches almost bare
by the time the show starts.”
Lighting will be used exten
sively to produce late afternoon
shadows from the almost bare
trees and the missing shingles on
the roof of the shack.
“The overall effect on the audi
ence will be of deterioration and
destitution,” Wenck said.
“Tobacco Road” is the story of
Jeeter Lester, a sharecropper, his
wife, Ada, his son, Dude, and his
daughters Ellie May and Pearl,
trying desperately to survive on
worn out land.
Lester’s sole hope is that the
owner of the land, Captain John,
will return to the area and give
him credit to buy seed, as he had
done before for Lester and his
father before him.
Captain Tim, Captain John’s
son, returns, but not to help Les
ter. Mr. Payne, a banker from
Augusta, comes with him and
tells Lester that the bank has
foreclosed on the land and that
Lester will have to leave.
Caldwell’s earthy background
and depth into life in the south
is brought out accurately and dra
matically in Jack Kirkland’s
broadway adaptation.
The Aggie Player production
will be performed in Guion Hall
at 8 p.m. on Dec. 9-13.

Bill Manser
graduated in 1967
with a B.S. degree in
Industrial Engineering.
After an intensive training program,
Bill became an IBM marketing
representative. His job: selling
computer systems.
His technical background is valuable
Many of Bill's customers are
involved in scientific and engineering
applications. “That's where my
engineering degree really pays off. I
can come to grips with technical
details without losing sight of the
overall picture."
Marketing is solving problems
But, as Bill points out, there's a lot
more involved in marketing at IBM
than just selling a product: "I sit down
with the customer and learn what his
information handling problems are.
Then I have to analyze his total
operation in depth.
Only after weeks—sometimes
months—of analysis do I recommend
a specific computer system that will
answer his needs.
“One of the best things about my
job is that I get to deal with people at
the top. Company presidents. Decision
makers. And my work helps them
make multimillion-dollar decisions.
"I have a partner and we operate
as a two-man team. IBM believes that
small teams generate-more and better
ideas. So do I."

Bill's is just one example of the
many opportunities in marketing at
IBM. For more information, visit your
