65 Army cadets designated
distinguished military students
CADET SLOUCH
by Jim Earle
Distinguished military student
status has been accorded 65 Army
ROTC cadet seniors for 1970-71.
Col. Jim H. McCoy, comman
dant, said the designation indi
cates the cadet possesses out
standing attributes of leadership,
moral character, military and
academic standing and all-around
development reflected in Campus
and civic activities.
The distinguished military stu
dents have completed summer
camp and were recommended for
the honor there by an active
Army officer. Designation as a
DMS enables the cadet to make
application for a regular Army
commission to be conferred upon
graduation.
“This represents quite a sig
nificant achievement in the lives
of these cadets,” commented Tom
Fitzhugh, Corps of Cadets in
formation officer.

Singing Cadets fill ranks,
select 25 new members
A&M’s famed Singing Cadets
have accepted 25 new members
into their selective 56-voice ranks
for 1970-71.
The Cadets, who have sung
throughout the Southwest since
1894 and have become one of the
nation’s outstanding glee clubs,
are directed by Robert L. Boone.
They are scheduled to sing 20
performances this fall, including
two national conventions in Hous
ton. The Singing Cadets also will
appear as the official glee club
for the seventh straight year at
the Miss Teenage America Pag
eant in Fort Worth Dec. 5.
With invitations to sing coming
from every major city in Texas,
the Cadets go on the road be
tween semesters and on spring
semester weekends to total 50
performances a year.
In announcing the new mem
bers, Boone said the Singing
Cadets have added exceptional
talent.

from 63 to 54 degrees,” the me
teorology professor said. The fig
ures are averages over 55 years,
from 1915.
October’s highest temperature
ever was 102 degrees, but nearly
every day of the month has re
ported at least one 90 degree tem
perature which came during mid
afternoon. An afternoon maxi
mum of only 52 is on record, how
ever.
Minimums as high as 75 degrees
have been recorded. Values below
40 degrees are very rare before
Oct. 17, the climatology specialist
remarked. The first freeze has
occurred as early as Oct. 20, he
added.
Rainfall averages about three
inches during October, ranging
from none to 12 inches. Highest
amount in one day was 5.1 inches
and about once every six years
there is a one day fall in excess
of three inches. A two-inch day
occurs every other year, Griffiths
reported. October has 26 hours of
rain and seven rain days on the
average.
October winds blow mainly
from the east to southeast but
the northerly flow really begins
to make its presence felt. The
wind can be expected from points
between north northwest to north
northeast about a quarter of the
time.
Relative humidity averages
around 65 per cent and the sun
shines (not cloud obscured) al
most eight hours a day, Griffiths
concluded.
“The quality of the buffos im
proves each year,” the 10-year
director commented. Among the
new members are several sopho
mores. Overall, Singing Cadets
are drawn from all classes and
graduate students, of both the
corps and civilian ranks and
varied academic majors.
Buffos are Coy L. Batson, Lar
ry R. Jones, Jack T. Madeley and
Eugene T. Wood of Bryan and
College Station; Alan R. Boehm,
Conroe; Billy J. Cox, Richardson;
James M. Devine, Phillip M.
