THE BATTALIOt
Army Cadets Win Camp Commander’s Trophy
Preparation and perspiration
won the Camp Commander’s
Trophy for TAMU cadets last
summer at Fort Riley, Kan.
Army ROTC cadets have al
ready started on the 1974 summer
camp trophy.
They took physical tests last
week, and have other fall semes
ter exercises and tests leading to
ward summer camp.
Col. Thomas R. Parsons an
nounced last week that Army
ROTC cadets from TAMU won
the trophy last summer for the
fourth time in six years.
The professor of military sci
ence said physical fitness of Ag
gies is a key element in winning
the award.
That’s the reason for all the
action at the Rudder Rangers ob
stacle course, and the large
groups of cadets headed in that
direction.
“Aggies are well acquainted
with camp physical training (PT)
before they get to Riley,” remark
ed Lt. Col. Jose Pena.
“By taking the standard Army
test in the fall, rather than the
spring as required, our cadets
find out early whether they are
fit or not fit,” Col. Pena ex
plained.
Ninety per cent met or evceeded
requirements of the rugged test.
Designed and checked by Olym
pic decathlon champion Bob
Mathias, it involves bent leg sit-
ups, horizontal ladder, 40-yd in
verted crawl, a run, dodge and
jump course and mile run.
The cadet who does 50 situps
and 84 ladder rungs each in a
minute, the crawl in 16 seconds,
run-dodge-jump in 20.5 seconds
and mile in five minutes and 55
seconds gets a maximum 500
points. Those are champion ath
lete efforts.
“We had 140 cadets take the
test last week,” Pena said. “The
best score was 450, extremely
high. Average score was 380.
Ninety per cent met or exceeded
required performance of 360.”
That’s 60 higher than Regular
Army personnel must meet “be
cause 360 points wins the Recon
do Badge and we feel almost all
our people will have to do that
well for us to win the camp tro
phy,” Pena said.
A 360 score involves 28 situps,
39 ladder rungs, a 29-second
crawl, 24.5-second run-dodge-
jump and eight-minute mile.
“The 10 per cent who didn’t
pass have time for remedial work
and testing next semester,” Col.
Pena noted.
The TAMU Army cadets earlier
took a swimming test. To pass
they had to jump backwards!

Ball Film Review
‘Graffiti’ Replays the ’60s
By BRAD ELLIS
The growling strains of “Green
Onions” in the predawn hours and
the rumbling challenge of a V-8
Chevy herald a highway show
down in the brief allusion to spec
tacle that climaxes “American
Graffiti.”
This is the story of Steve,
Curt, John and Terry the Toad
one evening in the early fall of
1962, the last night in town for
Steve and Curt before they leave
for college back East. Like every
one else they spend the evening
cruising the town, stopping at
Mel’s Burger City to refuel their
bodies once in a while, or parking
out at the canal where it’s quiet
and dark, or racing one another
from stoplight to stoplight, or
simply getting into trouble. And
each has his own special problem.
Steve is about to fulfill his
high school dream and “get out
of this turkey town,” but first
he has to square things with his
girl, who isn’t really pleased with
his proposed arrangement. Play
ed by Ronny Howard, a veteran
of The Andy Griffith show in
which he played Opie, Steve is
the typical American good boy,
“last year’s school president” who
is dating “this year’s head cheer
leader.” Curt is leaving with him,
he thinks, and spends his evening
getting in and out of bizarre
predicaments which he handles
with the ready wit and left-hand
ed assurance of a man who knows
how to bow gracefully out of sit
uations that are too complex for
him to control.. Played by Rich
ard Dreyfuss, Curt displays more
than the average degree of ma
turity and seems more reflective
and attentive of what is going
on around him than the other kids.
Percussion is to gunfighters —
cool, kind and easygoing. To him
driving is serious business. Terry
the Toad, on the other hand, has
the care of Steve’s car entrusted
to him while Steve is away. He
plans to love and protect the
machine until death do them part,
if he can figure out how to get in
the right gear all the time. Terry
is the bespectacled dork who man
ages to score if only by accident.
Through it all, as ever present
as music was and is for young
people, there is Wolfman Jack as
himself, doing the radio show
which made him so popular in
the early sixties, spinning all the
classic discs; music performed
especially for this movie by Flash
Cadillac and the Continental Kids,

“QUALITY FIRST”
who actually appear at the first
hop of the school year.
As a picture of life in America
at the time, this film is fairly
comprehensive in its view of high
school youth. Just about every
thing that might happen to a kid
out on the town at night happens:
getting drunk, getting sick, get
ting girls, not getting girls; being
stopped by the cops, playing
tricks on the cops, having tricks
played on you. The scenery is au
thentic enough; roller skating
carhops with the little round pill
box hats, gleaming custom paint
ed automobiles of every make
lower in the front and higher in
the back complete with chromed
baby moon hub caps, vacant-faced
rock ’n’ roll musicians whose
brains seemed to have softened
under little understood influences.
The movie was produced by
Francis Ford Coppola and direct
ed by George Lucas. There are
no technical errors in the film.
Sometimes the framing is very
obviously controlled, a detail
which might not normally be no
ticed if a lot was happening in
the story to keep one’s attention
focused there, but as this is a
record of what was typical of the
times, the stock shot arrangement
works as well as the slightly
grainy color does in creating
something of a fantasy image.
The time period is, after all, the
same as that which is referred
to as the Camelot period of
American government, when John
Kennedy was President.
One noticeable literary device,
one which the film ends with, is
The Quest. Curt spies a vision of
blonde loviness in the ’56 Thun-
derbird next to him at a stop
light and chases this girl through
out the entire movie. And every-
time he is not in sufficient con
trol of what is going on around
him to meet the girl. The un
fulfilled Quest is as fine a touch
as John’s portrayal as the local
gentleman champion who upstart
challengers are always going up
against.
It’s got cruisin’ as a way of
life written across the screen in
eight actors and actresses, but
never was a phrase or nasty word
written on the wall at all, which
leaves one wondering at the title.
Still the characters, devices, tech
niques and story work quite well
together. The movie plays for two
weeks more at Cinema II.

tainment and a half-dozen inter

customs and gifts of “Christmas
