Page 4 College Station, Texas Friday, October 5, 1973 THE BATTALION TEXAS AGGIE BAND music is being recorded this fall at Kyle Field with all the background sounds for a new record album. The master tape for “The Aggie Band at Kyle Field” will be the work of Tom Straw, here monitor ing recording levels of march-in music. Aggie Band to Record Album Of Home Game March-Ins The Texas Aggie Band is going magnetic tape this fall in prep aration for its third stereo album of march music. The record will feature the sounds of the band and crowd at football games. It is expected to be titled “The Texas Aggie Band at Kyle Field.” Recordings are being made at A&M’s 1973 home games. “The idea is to get the sound of the spirit and excitement of the crowd along with the music at games,” explained Maj. Joe T. Haney, Aggie Band director. Tom Straw has contracted to deliver the master tape from which the record will be pressed. A recording specialist, Straw in structs in cable television with the Engineering Extension Service at the TAMU Research Annex. He has recorded a number of high school bands and the Singing Cadets. Straw had his equipment going at the Wichita State and Boston College games. The cables, microphones and recorder will probably be a sideline fixture at the rest of the Aggies’ home games. “We’ll record through the season until we get what we want,” Maj. Haney said. “The band is just now beginning to sound like it should.” He noted that all five home games will need to be re corded to acquire the variety of music need for the album. Pregame procedure of The National Anthem, “Texas, our Texas,” and “The Spirit of Aggieland” are likely to be included straight through, Haney indicated. The band music is performed by 303 musicians, including 120 freshmen. Haney said instrumentation of the 1973-74 Aggie Band is well-balanced to contribue to a quality recording. He noted that Kyle Field acoustics “are the best on the campus.” Like Volumes 1 and 2, “The Texas Aggie Band” and “Big Brassy and Beautiful,” the third stereo LP will be produced by the Aggie Band Association. .

Annigoni’s smile lit up. “Wait and see, wait and see.” He avoided further identifica tion of the Judas model and fairly danced across the floor of his Florence studio to show a card board mockup of the fresco that will cover more than 100 square yards on the curved wall behind the main altar in the little church at Ponte Obuggianese in northern Italy. “The scene,” he said, “will be Corps Member Enters National Competition Wade: F.

J. (AA—Ap proval of President Nixon’s per formance in office dipped again in the latest Gallup poll. Fewer than one-third of 1,505 adult Americans surveyed Sept. 21 to 24 voiced approval when asked, “Do you approve or disi- approve of the way Nixon is handling his job as president?” The approval rate was 32 per cent, which compares to 35 per cent in a poll Sept. 7-10 and 38 per cent in a poll in late August. Nixon’s popularity sank to its lowest point, 31 per cent approv al, in early August during the televised Watergate hearings. His highest popularity, 68 per cent approval, occurred last Jan uary following the Vietnam peace settlement. In the latest poll, 59 per cent disapproved of Nixon’s perform ance and 9 per cent had no opinion. The survey was made during discussion of the possibility of the indictment of Vice President Spiro T. Agnew. Also, during the time the survey was con ducted, the government an nounced that consumer prices had experienced their biggest in crease in 26 years.

It is dif ficult following in the path of the great masters, especially Da Vin ci, and, of course, Christ will be a problem.” Annigoni has done portraits of Presidents Kennedy and John son, Pope John XXIII, the shah and empress of Iran. Princess Margaret, the Duke of Edin burgh, the Duchess of Kent, the maharanee of Jaipur and, in 1970, another portrait of Elizabeth II. “I thought she looked sadder than when I painted her 15 years before,” he recalled. “Something had changed. She seemed no longer surrounded by the great devotion that had attended her as a young queen. For the first and more fa mous portrait, done for the Fish mongers Company, the queen sat for 16 sittings of an hour or more. “She was a difficult sub ject. She had trouble keeping the feeling of the pose.” Does a modern artist find it cause for an inferiority complex, working in the city of Michel angelo, Giotto, Da Vinci, Bot ticelli and other great masters ? Annigoni considered the ques tion for a long time. “No,” he said, “I have beeninj spired and encouraged by the work of the great masters. Some' times they seem like my only friends. It is nice to have them nearby.” ACLU Urges Impeachment NEW YORK (A*)—The Ameri can Civil Liberties Union urged Congress Thursday to begin im peachment proceedings against President Nixon, based on sii grounds “affecting civil liber ties.” It was the first time in the 63- year history of the organizatiw that its board of directors has voted a resolution seeking a pres ident’s impeachment. “Virtually every administra tion has violated civil liberties,” said the ACLU executive direc tor, Aryeh Neier, “but this ad ministration has been more con sistent, more blatant in its vio lations.” The Church..For a Fuller Life..For You..
