To be a member of the team, a corps fish must attend practice two hours a day, four days a week. They learn regular drill, which is explained in the “Land ing Party” manual; are inspected and are taught fancy drills. “The fish are taught A&M’s own unique six to nine minute sequence, how to spin weapons and throw rifles,” said Rod John son, senior adviser. The advisers are completely re sponsible for training and any other necessary action. These people have all been on the team. They are: Sophomores Wayne Flintage, Paul Gallego, Roger Poole, Joe Wallace, Pat Warren and Steve White; and Juniors Dave Skinner and Mike Whitted. Originally, 35 of the 70 member organization went out for Drill Team Commander. The advisers reduced this number to five who showed the most proficiency drilling. The five then drilled the two platoons for a week, after which the fish voted for who they wanted as their leader. The other positions were given on the grounds of the aspirant’s ability. “Although 70 sounds like a lot of interest, twice this number usually come out,” Johnson said. Guidon bearer Wyatt added, “We (the team members) are dis appointed that more fish didn’t care enough to try out. That means that we have to try harder and keep out grades higher.” This precision marching unit will be part of the A&M vs. SMU game march-in and will perform around the College Station area until competition begins in the early spring. “Past fish teams have taken nationals for five consecutive years and this team looks as good as any other at this point,” John son said. Competing in the corps' ‘pinks,’ long-sleeved shirts, black helmets, combat boots with chrome AMC’s Merrie Melodies and Looney Tunes By TED BORISKIE When Simon and Garfunkel re leased “Bridge over Troubled Wa ters” I knew that they were fin ished. The closeness and warmth that was present in their early work had been replaced by a pro duction team and it was no longer just S&G’s show. They had be come just part of a massive oper ation designed to release the per fect record. Although many thought they achieved the desired results, I was generally disappointed. Although technically breathtaking, “Bridge over Troubled Waters” found S&G buried in their own production and Paul Simon’s simple prose, the most appealing factor in their earlier work, was shoved some where in the background. The only plus I could find on “Bridge” was that it provided the then-best vehicle for Art Gar- funkel’s amazingly beautiful voice. After S&G’s breakup, both promised to release a solo album immediately. It was a year and a half before Simon ever got around to releasing his first effort and then he released another a year later. All Garfunkel did was keep on promising. The wait is over and Garfunkel has provided his eager fans with his meager offering. It is entitled “Angel Clare” and it is some thing more or less along the lines of “Bridge.” In other words, it is an inauspicious debut for an in auspicious member of a famous singing duo. It has another lush production job by Roy Halee, assisted by Garfunkel. The musicians are members of the group “Bread,” J. J. Cale, Jerry Garcia, Jim Gor don, Carl Radle and somebody named Simon. Studio musicians play along on strings, recorder, saxes, charango, mandolin and bousouki. Again, the music is overproduc ed and consequently unimpressive. When you take the basic marsh mallow rock of Bread and add strings and a choir, the result would almost have to be a mish mash of songs unrecognizable from each other. But no matter what the album sounds like as a whole, it does succeed in one important aspect. It provides another wonderful showcase for Garfunkel’s voice. I had a extremely negative re action to the album the first cou ple of listenings but I like it bet ter each time I play it. “All I Know” and “I Shall Sing” get good treatments and Garfunkel does a tremendous job of “Bar bara Allen.” This would have sounded much better with only a guitar and recorder and I wouldn’t mind seeing this guy record an album of nothing but traditional folk songs sung traditionally. He’s got a voice perfectly suited for it. This will never be one of my favorite albums but I might get to like it. The stuff is all pretty wretched as a whole but Garfun kel has one helluva voice and can make a song soothing and excit ing at the same time. We can only hope his next ef fort will be a bit more solo than this. Thanks to Donny and Mike at Budget Tapes and Records for supplying the album for this re view. Living Council Approves Gas Price Increase WASHINGTON (A>> — Director John T. Dunlop of the Cost of Liv ing Council confirmed Wednesday that the council will approve in creases in the price of gasoline later this week. Dunlop also said the council may hold public hearings on pro posed increases in postal rates announced earlier this week by the U. S. Postal Service. Dunlop in dicated that he was concerned over the proposed increases, which would be two cents for airmail and first-class stamps, in addition to increases on other classes of mail. “I have determined I am going to take a good close look at it, that’s for sure,” Dunlop told news men at a regular weekly briefing.
