Company-level commanders in
be 1976-77 Corps of Cadets have
een named at Texas A&M Univer-
ity.
Forty seniors-to-be were an-
ounced for the coveted posts by
'ol. Thomas R. Parsons, comman-
ant.
Company, squadron and battery
ommanders, with the rank of cadet
lajor, have the most direct leader-
hip contact with underclassmen,
he 40 cadets will, in the majority,
ead units with which they have
dentified during their first three
ears in the Corps.
A Corps unit will be commanded
jr the first time next fall by a woman
adet.
The 1976-77 outfit commanders
will officially take command next fall.
The new CO’s will first move out in
front of their units though, at the
May 8 Final Review.
There will be two more units next
year than in the 1975-76 Corps, due
to reorganization of the Texas Aggie
Band. Because of its size, the band
will include four outfits instead of
two, with battalion-size Artillery and
Infantry Bands combining into the
equivalent of a regiment. Artillery
and Infantry were previously used to
denote company-size Band units.
Units known as the Maroon and
White Bands this year will be desig
nated the Artillery and Infantry
Bands, respectively, next fall with
two company-size units each.
Company W-l has been under
male command, because cadet offi
cers are drawn from the senior class.
W-l will include its first senior
women cadets next fall.
The Third Battalion consists of
Companies E-l, R-l and W-l and
Squadron 13. It is so organized be
cause the units contain athletes, day
students (E-l and Squadron 13) and
women.

Love, San Antonio, Company C-2;
Mike Tucker, Universal City, N-2;

’ ( - s that the department is unable to find

Czech.
Elmquist said that she had re
ceived a petition from about 30 stu
dents who said that they would be
willing to take introductory Czech
next fall but that the department is
still faced with the problem of find
ing an instructor. The petition was
passed on to Dr. William Maxwell,
dean of the college of liberal arts.

“Part of the problem is that now
you find Czech at U.T. Austin, the
University of Houston, Texas Tech
and a variety of junior colleges,”
Elmquist said. “A few years ago we
were virtually the only institution of
higher learning that offered Czech in
the state of Texas.
“Where we used to get all the
people that were interested in
Czech, now they can go. almost any
where and pick it up. ”
The decision to drop Czech was
made over a year ago by a de
partmental committee comprised of
all the senior professors in the de
partment of modern languages. The
committee’s recommendation was
approved by Maxwell.
Observance of World Whale Day
on the Texas A&M campus Thursday
(April 15) includes exhibits and a film
on the type of whale most Texans are
probably familiar with — the dol
phin.
Displays on World Whale Day are
scheduled from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Thursday on the first floor of the
Memorial Student Center.
At 7:30 p.m., the public can see
the film “Last Day of the Dolphins?”
narrated by Dick Cavett and focus
ing on the plight of commercial fish
ing and porpoises.
The film, in Memorial Student
Center 206, will be introduced by
Suse Shane, one ofTexas A&M’s first
University Marine Fellows. Shane
received statewide attention as part
of a recent Texas Monthly Magazine
article on the capture of dolphins for
amusement parks.
