Can-can girls, auction
Casino for everyone
By CATHY KIRKHAM
Battalion Reporter
There will be $154 million floating
around, in and out of hands and
being laid down on the table, tonight
at Texas A&M University — legally.
When you walk into the Memorial
Student Center starting at 7:30,
$3,000 will be put in your hand for a
$2.50 ticket.
Tonight is Casino Nignt.
“We have lots of gamblers on this
campus,” Minor Stanley, an assistant
chairman for the casino committee,
said. Kids, students, parents and
grandparents, dressed in everything
from tuxedoes to shorts will hover
around tables and wheels anxiously
awaiting a chance put their money
down.
This year there will be 120 guys
and 140 girls dealing and tending
crap tables, roulette wheels, wheels
of fortune, chuck-o-luck, blackjack
and the horse races, Stanley said.
The horse races will be previously
filmed authentic races (no one knows
who the winners are). Racing guides,
telling about the horses and their
odds, will be provided.
“Last year some guy put his
money on a long shot and it won,”
Stanley said. “It about cleaned us
out.”
Can-can girls will perform at 8, 9
and 10 p.m., Stanley said.
Gambling will wind down at about
11, but there is plenty of other
entertainment. A live band will kick
in at 11:00 and the auction will last
from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m.
“There will be about 80 prizes
given away at the auction,” he said.
“The object is for everyone to be a
winner and no one a loser.”
Prizes will include 10 diamonds, a
stereo and many gift certificates from
various clothes and food establish
ments.
There will be all kinds of people,
all kinds of entertainment, and
everyone will have fun, he said.
The Texas A&M version of Las
Vegas will close at about 1 a.m.
Indiana’s speed limit theme:
Drive to conserve energy
United Press International
INDIANAPOLIS — The state has
contracted for 20 radio jingles cost
ing about $500 each in an attempt to
entice motorists to obey the 55 mph
speed limit.
Attorney General Theodore Sen-
dak announced approval of the con
tract Tuesday.
The jingles will be written on the
theme “Drive to Conserve Energy,”
Sendak said.
“We’ve got billboards to that ef
fect, too,” said State Police Major
Jerry Spence. One of the billboards
— “Conservation, not Frustration”
— shows a frustrated speeder who
has been stopped by a policeman.
