Mexican dance hand
to play here Monday
Little Joe, Johnny and la Familia,
a dance band, will present a concert
sponsored by the Committee for
Awareness of Mexican-American
Culture at 8 p.m. Monday in Rud
der Auditorium.
“Instead of the kind of music
played in Mexico the band will play
the music that originated here,”
CAMAC member David Oviedo
said. “The band will be like many
Mexican bands, with guitars and
brass, but will present music with
both English and Spanish lyrics. The
music will show a little of the mixture
of the Mexican and American cul
tures.”
Pat Bernal, another CAMAC
member, said that this band usually
plays for dances and rarely accept
concerts, but that they were lucky to
get them to come to Texas A&M
University.
“Little Joe (the bandleader) is real
popular down in the Valley and he
and his band even go out-of-state to
play for dances to cities like
Chicago,” Bernal said.
Oviedo added that the band had
just lately been to California and
New York.
Oviedo said that this is CAMAC’s
first concert, and although they have
little idea how big the turnout will
be, they have been getting good re
sponse from the people in the com
munity for their past programs.
Tickets for the concert are $2 in
advance and $2.50 at the door and
may be purchased at the MSC Box
Office.

sending donations
to tornado victims
United Press International
NEW YORK — Mayor Edward Koch and a group of local busi
nessmen kicked off a fund-raising campaign Thursday to help the
victims of the recent tornado in Wichita Falls.
“The rest of the country has helped us and we have a duty to help
others, even if they don’t ask,” Koch said while making a $100 personal
donation to the fund.
Members of the Association for a Better New York contributed
another $10,000 and association chairman Lewis Rudin, a real estate
developer, set a goal of $100,000 for the drive.
Koch said the money already collected would be sent immediately to
Wichita Falls, where three tornados last week killed 54 persons and
injured more than 500 others.
Koch said he had spoken by telephone with Wichita Falls Mayor
Kenneth Hill to offer help.
Koch urged other New Yorkers to contribute to the drive. He said
checks should be made payable to the “Wichita Falls Disaster Relief
Fund” and can be sent to the Association for a Better New York, 1270
Avenue of the Americas, New York, N.Y., 10020.
