celebrate 40th anniversary
Hi
and it i|
By MICHELLE MORREY
Campus Reporter
From Romania to Washington,
D.C., Hawaii, Chicago, New York
and small Texas towns, the Singing
Cadets have represented Texas
A&M University. Friday marked
their 40th anniversity and celebrated
it on the road in Corsicana.
In 1938, the student body drafted
a faculty member in the English de
partment to form and direct a glee
club. The member chosen. Dr. Joe
Woolket, dreamed of making the en
tire Corps of Cadets a glee club, said
Robert L. Boone, the current direc
tor. Woolket’s dream never mate
rialized: the first club had 250 mem
bers.
After a year, Woolket persuaded
the president of the University to
hire a full-time director.
The 1940, The Battalion spon
sored a contest to name the club. The
prize was $5. At the time, Texas
A&M was all-military so the name
Singing Cadets seemed appropriate.
The name has stayed the same,
although only 14 of the 66 present
members are in the Corps.
There are two prerequisites to be a
Singing Cadet: a candidate must be a
male enrolled in the University.
“The Cadets are unique in that
they are not the traditional kind of
glee club,” Boone said. “The mate
rial we do is more entertainment.
Most male choral groups work with
the traditional male choral reper
toire.”
Boone and the Cadets consider
themselves as a public relations arm
of the University. Their concerts,
which are more like shows, Boone
said, are 90 percent entertainment
and 10 percent inspirational music.
They always end their two-hour
performance with “Spirit,” “Nothing
Like a Dame,” “Aggie War Hymn,”
“I’d Rather Be a Texas Aggie,” and
“Benediction.”
After singing for President Nixon
in 1971, the Cadets stood on the
steps of the White House and sang
the “Aggie War Hymn” and “The
Spirit of Aggieland. ” Nixon came out
and shook each cadet's hand and
spoke to each one.
The cadets have performed on the
Ed Sullivan Show and the Mike
Douglas Show. They average 50 per
formances each year. Each year they
travel to San Antonio, Austin and
Dallas, Boone said.
The longest member to stay in the
group was for 20 semesters. He
joined his freshmen year and con
tinued singing through graduate
school.
The Cadets celebrate their Feb.
29 anniversary once every four years
because of leap year.
Boone, who has two music de
grees, has been directing the Cadets
for 20 years. Ironically, he started
college on a football scholarship. He
studied medicine for three years and
decide he didn’t want to wait eight
years to have a family. He works a
ten-to-12 hour day and enjoys it.
“I love what I do,” Boone said.
“It’s the people that make the differ
ence.”
Farmer uses white lightning
to run ranch equipment
United Press International
ALFALFA, Ore. — A visitor to
Ron Miller’s spread probably would
think he runs a bootleg liquor opera
tion.
Tubs of potato mash smell and fer
ment in rooms throughout Miller’s
home. A copper still in Miller’s laun
dry room heats the mash into a batch
of very strong “white lightning.”
But says he doesn’t even taste his
brew.

He’s trying to turn his cars and
farm equipment into alcoholics, run
ning them entirely on alcohol.
“Come on. I’ll prove it to you, ” he
said.
He dropped a gauge into a reeking
jar of clear alcohol. It registered 165
proof. Then he walked through a
maze of old cars until he came to his
tractor. He disconnected the trac
tor’s gas line and hooked up a syphon
tube from his jar of homemade
alcohol.
The tractor coughed to life. He
proudly adjusted its carburetor and
the engine roared. It semed to enjoy
the stuff.
“I’m not interested in gasohol,” he
said. “Cars can run just as well on 100
percent alcohol. The mileage is near
ly as good as gasoline. You just have
to adjust the carburetor. With the
rising cost of gas this is the only way
I’m going to be able to farm.”
Miller has big dreams. He wants
to say goodbye to his $3,500-and-
growing annual gas bill. He wants to
trade in his small still for a 300-
gallon, or maybe even a 1,000-gallon
version. He wants to turn enough
potatoes into fuel to supply a co-op of
five ranchers.
Miller, 44, applied for a $10,000
federal grant. His wife “has worn out
a typewriter” filling out license
forms.
After posting a $2,500 bond, he
legally can make alcohol. Now, he
says, government agencies have
eased up on the forms and charges to
encourage producing alcohol for
fuel.
Agents from the Bureau of Alco
hol, Tobacco and Firearms and the
Oregon Liquor Control Commission
have visited Miller to make sure the
brew is going into gas tanks. Miller
can’t drive his car on the street until
he gets a special sticker that exempts
him from state gas taxes.
For the past year, Miller has ex
perimented with batches of pota
toes. Last summer, he grew about
four tons worth.
“I’ve talked to a lot of old bootleg
gers, but none of them had recipes
for potatoes,” he said. “They were
making stuff good to drink. But pota
toes grow well in this area. So I
started experimenting on my own
with the yeast and fermentation to
make sure I get the right combina
tion.”
“We re going to build a solar still,”
he said. “That way we won’t hum
fuel to produce it. I’m going to con
vert my irrigation pumps and heater
in my house to run on alcohol ”
Miller said potatoes are suitable
for sale arc suitable for his still. The
remaining mash makes excellent cat
tle feed.
“I’m still at the experimenting
stage,” he said. “Tve sometimes
stayed up nearly all night ex
perimenting with batches. One blew
up all over our kitchen. You have to
have patience.

WASHINGTON — Higher prices
for cattle, calves, hogs, rice, oranges
and cotton pushed up average farm
prices in February by 0.8 percent.
Despite the slight increase, prices
were 1.2 percent below a year ago.
Prices of eggs, com, soybeans and
chickens fell during February, the
Agriculture Department reported
Friday.
Farmers’ expenses rose 0.7 per
cent in February as a result of higher
prices for energy, feeder livestock
and building supplies. Feed costs
fell.
Expenses of farmers — who are
facing stark inflation in the cost of
fuel, interest and fertilizer — are 13
percent above a year ago.
