work to be just as sharp as any
one else,” Waelti said.
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.

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work had been replaced by a pro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.
