People seemed to enjoy the evening at the Baptist Stu
dent Center and reflected it with smiling faces. Other
persons were too busy eating the char-broiled steak to
smile, but they looked happy.
By CARL KEY
Nearly 1,400 people attended a
steak dinner “Howdy Party” at the
Baptist Student Center last night
where 800 persons were expected.
“We had to stretch 560 lbs. of
steak to feed all those people,” said
Ron Wells, Baptist Student Union
(BSU) Director.
This year’s party was so large be
cause of the increased growth of the
student body; there’s more active
people and the steak cost only 99
cents, said Wells.
The events at the Howdy Party
included yell practice, steak dinner,
share time and a skit presentation.
“The reason we have the Howdy
Party is to introduce the BSU, the
Gospel and practical Christian in
volvement to the students,” said
Wells.
The tradition of the Howdy Party
has been around for many years, as
the BSU at A&M is the oldest estab
lished union in the state.
People attending included some
coeds who said they were there to
meet some different people. A
Senior in the Corps said he came to
the party to meet freshman girls.
There were also many interna
tional students taking part who said
they were there because the
friendly people.
One student attending was escap
ing his own cooking as well as meet
ing people.
About 600 more persons than were ex
pected attended the “Howdy Party”
which was held last night at the Baptist
Battalion photo by Carl Key
Student Center. Coordinators had to ra
tion the 560 pounds of beef in order to
feed the estimated 1,400 students.

HOUSTON — Harris County
Probate Judge Pat Gregory has or
dered attorneys in the probate case
of the late billionaire Howard
Hughes to furnish plans for collec
tion of evidence.
Following a closed door meeting
with some 20 attorneys Thursday,
Gregory told the lawyers he wanted
all outstanding interrogatories to be
completed by Sept. 15 or an explana
tion of why it can’t be done.
He also ordered the lawyers to
furnish him with lists of discovered
proceedings they feel are necessary
to the development of their cases. A
Sept. 15 deadline also was set for this
information.
Gregory withheld action on a re
quest by two persons, who claim to
be Hughes relatives, that a trial to
determine Hughes’ legal residence
be held Dec. 6.
Attorneys at the meetings repre
sented the executor of a purported
will, the state of Texas and various
Hughes relatives who want part of
the estimated $2.5 million estate.
Gregory has been asked to deter
mine if Rush Hughes of Palm
Springs, Calif., and Avis Hughes
McIntyre of Montgomery, Ala. are
entitled to inherit from the estate.
George Dean of Destin, Fla., at
torney for the two, claim they were
raised in the home of the brother of
Hughes’ father and were raised as
members of the family even though
formal adoption proceedings were
never held.
“We re very pleased with today’s
hearing,” Dean said.
“What the judge in effect said to us
is that we’re going to proceed
vigorously.”
Issues before Gregory also in
cluded the purported hand written
will which names former Hughes
aide Noah Dietrich as executor.
Harold Rhoden of Los Angeles
was not pleased by Thursday’s pro
ceedings.
“Were not ready for a trial on
domicile anywhere,” he said. “I see
all sorts of enormous problems
ahead.”
Judge Keith Hayes of Las Vegas
has scheduled a trial there Jan. 10 on
the purported will.
Attorney Jim Dilworth, repre
senting Annette Gano Lummis of
Houston, Hughes’ closest living rel
ative, suggested Gregory and Hayes
discuss a scheduling of the cases in
their courts.
“It’s something I’ll certainly con
sider,” Gregory said.
Texas Atty. Gen. John Hill, pre
sent at Thursday’s hearing wants the
estate to be probated here because
Texas could collect an estimated
$300 million in state inheritance
taxes.

SAN ANTONIO — Air Force of
ficials say they aren’t concerned
about the high rate of rejection for
volunteers.
“We re recruiting for specific
numbers and types of people. We re
shooting for the high quality guy,”
said Lt. Col. Don Burgrabbe, direc
tor of advertising for the Air Force
Recruiting Headquarters at Ran
dolph AFB.
Burgrabbe said statistics show
that out of every 100 people who
make an initial contact with an Air
Force recruiter, only 20 ever enlist.
Eighty per cent either drop out
voluntarily or are rejected during a
tough screening program that pre
cedes official enlistment, he said
Thursday.
“The emphasis is placed on qual
ity,” Burgrabbe added.
In the period from July 1, 1975,
through June 30, 1976, Burgrabbe
said about 73,000 applicants were
qualified to enlist.
Liquor, nudity don’t mix in Dallas
Associated Press
DALLAS — An award-winning
Broadway drama which features a to
tally nude man and woman in one
scene apparently will play in Fort
Worth instead of Dallas.
But no one would say outright
Thursday if the nude scene in
“Equus” is the factor that is sending
the National Company production to
Fort Worth.
Pericles Alexander and Dallas’
Theatre Three, the play’s local spon
sors, said they were unsuccessful in
booking the Memorial Theater at the
Dallas Convention Center or
McFarlin Auditorium at Southern
Methodist University.
“Equus” is a psychological drama
that has run for almost two years on
Broadway.
Jerry Barshop, assistant director
of the Dallas Convention Center,
said nudity in the play was not the
reason the center turned down the
production.

“We had to turn it down because
of the state’s liquor licensing laws
that do not allow nudity at a site
where a liquor license is in resi
dence, Barshop said. “Our reasons
for turning it down have nothing to
do with morality.”
Memorial Theater does not have a
bar on its premises, but is consid
ered a part of the Convention Center
complex, which does have bars in
other areas.
Haskell Hall, head of the Dallas
office of the Alcoholic Beverage
Commission, agreed with Barshop’s
licensing reasoning.
“You cannot have nudity where
there is a liquor license,” Hall said.
Will Rogers Auditorium, where
the play will be performed in Fort
Worth, does not have a liquor
license.
The manager of the Will Rogers
complex quickly accepted the book
ing, saying “There’s no law against
stage nudity, as evidenced by our
playing‘Hair’. ” Bob Moxley, general
manager of McFarlin Auditorium at
SMU, said he refused the use of
McFarlin because of a requirement
that all shows in the facility must be
tied with some school group.
The School of Fine Arts at SMU
was approached about “Equus,”
which has won a Tony award in New
York. The school turned it down.
