The floor of the ballroom was
packed six-feet deep in people to
hear the two-time Emmy award
winner in the first Great Issues
Presentation of the year.
McKay said the United States
got a “bad deal” from the ref
erees in the U.S.-Kussia basket
ball game.
“They did a job on us,” McKay
said in reference to the disputed
game. He blamed one of the
heads of the International Bas
ketball Federation and not the
Russians for the outcome. Me-
said the next day that the game
should have gone to the Ameri
cans.
McKay was disappointed the
U. S. basketball team failed to
accept the silver medal in the
awards presentation.
“The U.S. wasn’t the only team
to get a bad deal in the officiat
ing. Other teams had to put up
with bad and sometimes biased
officiating,” he said.
“In any sport there is some
sort of suggestive refereeing.

The host of the “Wide World
of Sports” felt the Olympic Com
mittee was too harsh on the two
black U.S. athletes who were
talking and looking away from
the flag during the U.S. national
anthem. “They are going to get
complications with that prece
dent,” he said.
McKay mentioned the U.S.
wasn’t the only country guilty of
disrespect in the awards presen
tation.
“They had to ban the whole

they lost the field hockey cham

didn’t expect to do,” he said.
He said he also learned after
one of the girl’s relay races some
of the girls were giggling and
talking to each other during an
awards presentation.
McKay was uncertain as to
what the blacks were trying to
say by their actions.
“They made no positive state
ment but merely expressed a
feeling of apathy,” he said. Later
the blacks said their actions were

Brundage did. “He feels one can
be a pro in one sport and an ama

McKay was surprised and dis

the Olympic Stadium witnessed
an imposter finish the marathon
before the American Frank

“Shorter didn’t receive the
applause he deserved. Instead he
received the hissing and boos

At Army Game Halftime
Aggie Band To Present Outstanding Drill
A drill in which each member
of the Texas Aggie Band moves
independently of anyone else in
the 291-member organization will
highlight the Saturday halftime
of the Texas A&M-Army football
game at Kyle Field.
“It will be one of the most out
standing drills we’ve ever done
for our first home game,” com

In the Thursday meeting of the
Graduate Student Council, Reu
ben Walker presented a new plan
for senior caps and gowns.
Wajker reported the caps and
gowns used in the graduation
exei’cises average a cost of $7.50
per individual. For only an hour’s
use, approximately $15,000 is
spent at A&M each year for
graduation clothing. Walker con
tended that at least part of this
money could be put to better use.
Students wishing to wear a
suit and tie or a dress to gradu
ation could do so, wdth the money
normally spent on caps and
gowns could be donated to a com
mon fund. Graduating students

“In this movement, every man
in the band will have to do his
own thinking. Each man will be
on his own and must make turns
at the precise right point for it to
work,” explained “The Colonel,”
as Adams is known to the 300
bandmen.

wishing to wear the traditional
caps and gowns would still be
allowed to do so.
Petitions will be circulated
starting today for a week so in
terested students may show their
support. Jim Green, president of
the Senior Class Council, is in
charge of these petitions.
The GSC voted to support the
circulation of these petitions
through their departmental rep
resentatives, but will not make
any decision on the fund itself
without further consideration. If
a good number of graduating stu
dents support these petitions, the
proposed plan will then try to
get the approval of the Senior
Class Council, the Former Stu
dents Association and the A&M
Mothers Club.
Kyle Field for new associate di
rector Maj. Joe T. Haney, will
include the first 2% minutes of
the drill performed at LSU last
Saturday. It also will include the
Aggie Band’s rendition of “Army
Blue,” one of the musical pieces
used and made famous at the
U. S. Military Academy.
The Aggie Band’s home opener
follows one of its most resounding
successes, the appearance at the
half of the A&M-LSU game.
Tiger Stadium, noted for its noise
level, thundered with approval
for the Aggie Band’s six-minute,
52.3-second performance.
“The kids, Major Haney and I
were mobbed afterwards,” Adams
reported. “The Louisiana folks
apparently like the way we do
things.”

CSC Plans Car Care
Center For Students
By LARY MARSHALL
Managing Editor
The Civilian Student Council
voted Thursday night to go ahead
with formal plans to develop a
Car Care Center for students’
use.
The center, to be located on
land near Easterwood Field, is
needed of the inadequate and
abused facilities located at Hen-
sel Park, said Randy Gillespie,
CSC first vice-president.
The Student Senate owns a
large quonset hut on the land
which will be used to house the
facility, Gillespie noted.
Studies will be made of a
similar center at Fort Sam Hous
ton to work out the operating
details. Financing for this proj
ect is planned to come from the
Student Services Fee, said Gil
lespie.
A movement to get a women’s
dorm established on the Sbisa
side of campus was brought up
by Bill Suter. He cited the un
warranted burden of the high
board fees of Krueger and Dunn
Halls which are imposed on
women who want to live on
campus.
Shariq Yosufzai, president of
Schumacher Hall, noted his dorm
council was preparing to pass
a resolution next week asking to
make Schumacher coeducational.
The CSC announced plans for
upcoming fall semester activities.
For the Texas Tech-AM football
weekend, Oct. 13-14, there will be
the Sweetheart Dance, sponsored
jointly by the CSC, Corps and
Student Government.
For the Oct. 20-21 weekend,
when A&M plays TCU, the CSC
will present ‘Western Weekend.’
On Friday night Bread will per
form and on Saturday night there
will be a wastern dance. Other
activities are being planned for
this weekend.
Krueger - Dunn
Positions Open
Students wishing to run for
senators from the Krueger-Dunn
complex may pick up applications
at the reception desk in the
Commons Area, said Steve Vin
cent, chairman of the Student
Government Election Board.
One student senator will be
elected from each hall. Candidates
must have a 2.250 grade point
ratio and 30 credit hours to be
eligible.
Filing will be open until 5 p.m.
Wednesday. Election dates are
not yet decided.
The weekend of the Baylor-
A&M game, Oct. 27, the CSC will
co-sponsor a dance with the Black
Awareness Committee. This will
be on the Friday night before
the game and feature a rhythm
and blues or soul group.
For the Nov. 3-4 weekend,
when A&M plays Arkansas, the
Casino will be held. It will be
in the Zachry Enginering Center.
The weekend of Dec. 1-2 will
be Christmas Spirit Weekend.
There are plans to decorate the
campus to get students into the
Christmas spirit.
In other business, the CSC de

graduates for a program begin
ning Friday.
Class Programs Director Mrs.
Olive DeLucia pointed out these
men, and a host of others, were
part of cooperative-type living
during the depression years.
Texas A&M made housing
available, called Project Houses,

same counties in each house —

He stressed the need for
civilian, as well as corps, partici
pation in this year’s Bonfire. The
center pole will be erected on
Nov. 6, and it is the civilians’
responsibility to guard it the
weekend of the corps trip, Gibbs
said. People to man this guard
detail are needed.

lived and worked together to feed
and help each other. Most would
hire a widow from their county
to come to the campus as cook
and housemother, Mrs. DeLucia
noted.
The Project House residents
were known as the “Aggie Poor
Boys” at that time, with the
majority going into the world
to carve success in business and
industry.
Reunion activities begin Friday
with registration at the Ramada
Inn from 3-8 p.m. A social hour
starts at 6:30, followed by a buf

Frederic Hand Slated To Give
Young Artist Concert Tuesday
Frederic Hand, known for his
control of the classical guitar
repertoire, will be presented by
the Town Hall-Young Artist As
sociation at 8 p.m. Tuesday in
the Memorial Student Center
Ballroom.
Hand is described by Leonid
Bolotine of New York’s Mannes
College of Music as “the fortu
nate possessor of an outstanding
musical talent. He is innately
musical and a natural performer
before the public.”
Encouraged by his parents,
Hand began playing the guitar
at an early age and also sang
professionally with the John Mot
ley Choir at age 9.
He studied violin at the Green
wich School of Music and went
on to attend the High School of
Music and Art in New York City
where he studied viola.
In the summer of 1967, after
Hand had decided to devote his
musical studies to the classical
guitar, he was chosen to attend
the Julian Bream Master Classes
at Stratford, Canada. Only 10
guitarists from around the world
are chosen to attend these classes.
Later Hand received a bachelor
of science degree at the Mannes
College of Music.
Classical music is his main in
terest, yet he has studied jazz
guitar with Jim Hall, given in
struction in rock and blues guitar
and provided back-up for numer
ous types of groups.
