Ryan O’Neil and his daughter,

shows. He plays a sweet, but
rather dimwitted conman. What
he gives up as a person he gains
as an actor, however. He plays
the part perfectly and lets the
story stand out.
While attending the funeral of
an old girlfriend, O’Neil is black
mailed into taking along the dead
woman’s child. Ostensibly taking
her to her relatives, they end up
partners in crime. This is en

Children to Benefit
From Horse Show
Festival Offers
Entertainment
Eleven foreign students enter
tained and offered food and slides
of their home countries Tuesday
night at Prairie View’s annual
international festival.
Javier Vazquez & Pepe Lopez
played guitar. Carcos Correa,
Edgardo Varastegui, Violeta Som-
bico, and Mirta Valencia sang.
Others attending were Mrs. Mo-
hammao Iman, Sayed El-Khat-
tari, Dr. Adil Al-Mayyasi, Maye
Ac-Mayyasi, and Fathallah Ben-
Ali.
A benefit horse show will be
sponsored by the Saddle & Sirloin
Club at the Aggie Rodeo Arena
west of campus Sunday.
Registration begins at 8 a.m.
and the show will start at 9.
The open youth show will be
for the benefit of the Bryan-
College Station Association for
Retarded Children and the club
hopes to make it an annual event.
Dr. Bill G. Jackson, 4-H Exten
sion Specialist from Stephenville,
will judge the show which con
sists of classes in showmanship
at halter, English and Western
Pleasure, English Equitation and
Western Horsemanship, jumping,
hunter, trail, reining, barrels and
poles. Anyone between the ages
of 6 and 18 riding any breed or
grade horse may participate in
the classes open to his or her
age group.
Parsons’ Cavalry will perform
during the noon break.
Ribbons will be given for places
one through six and trophies will
be awarded to the Champion and
Reserve Champion Showman in
each age group and to the over
all and second high point indi
viduals.
None of the classes are spon
sored ; therefore, the success of
the show depends on entry fees
and admission. The fee is $2
per class. Admission is $2 for
adults, 75 cents for students and
50 cents for children under 12.
Freshman members of the club
will run a concession stand at
the arena all day and black and
white and color photographs will
be available to the contestants.
Proceeds from both of these sales
will go to the Association for
Retarded Children.

Children to Get Leftover Candy Committee
To Sponsor
Tourneys
Candy and goodies left over
from Halloween trick-or-treaters
are being collected for retarded
children at the Austin State
School.
On Christmas Eve, the candy
will go to over 1,000 children who
remain in the Austin dorms dur
ing the holiday season.
Persons wishing to contribute
to the drive will find collection
boxes at several elementary
schools, kindergartens, supermar
kets and stores and at TAMU.
Candy will be delivered to Aus
tin Nov. 10 in vehicles of the
443rd Military Intelligence De
tachment, a U. S. Army Reserve
unit. Maj. Clarence Creger vol
unteered the Reserve help this
year.
“This will be the 10th year we
have collected leftover Halloween
candy for the Austin school chil
dren,” said Mrs. Mary Robinette.
She and her husband Jim have
organized the collection each year.
They noted that retarded chil
dren will not care if their Christ
mas candy is wrapped in orange
and black instead of red and
green.
