team a win in the Texas A&M drill meet three
weeks ago. Last weekend, the drill team won
the Texas state championship.
Teams place 2nd in meet,
but win state championship
“It’s kind of an emotional experi
ence,” Michael Holmes, drill team
commander, said, adding the state
championship has been their goal all
year.
Anita Bowden, commander of the
women’s team, said it was their big
gest competition of the year. Their
chief rival, the women’s team from
the Air Force Academy, came in first
at the Trinity meet, but Bowden said
the two groups have a friendly
rivalry.
Ttwas a lot of fun,’’ she said.
Both groups also marched in the
Battle of Flowers parade, which is
part of San Antonio’s Fiesta Week
activities.
The groups competed in three
areas: inspection, basic drill and pre
cision drill, senior drill team adviser
Jim Brewer said. The fish competed
with actual weapons, while the
women were in the mock weapon
division. They were graded by a
Marine Corps judge.
The fish team came in second in all
events, behind the University of
Texas-Arlington. UT-A didn’t come
to the Texas A&M meet, so the
Aggies had an advantage in adding
up point totals for the state cham
pionship.
The women’s team placed first in
the inspection category and second
behind the Air Force Academy in
basic and fancy drill.
Holmes said the basic drill differs
from fancy drill because while each
team does the same basic drill, each
has its own fancy drill also, where it
can show off.
Inspection is worth 200 points,
basic drill 350, and fancy 450. The
final placing is based on the total of
the three.
The fish drill team is composed
solely of freshman members of the
Corps of Cadets, while the women’s
drill team is open to any female
cadet.

Senior ring prices
may change May 1
If you finally convinced Mom, the local loan shark or your great-aunt
Sarah to finance your senior ring, you better hurry and order it before
the May 1 deadline. After that, the price might go up.
But for those of you who don’t have the money, don’t worry because
orders are sent out every month. These orders are based on mid
semester grade reports, and the next orders will be based on final grade
reports.
However, the price of $310 for men and $131.31 for women will no
longer be guaranteed after May 1.
The ring clerk, Carolyn Swanzy, said prices fluctuate each month,
but the manufacturer agreed to guarantee the current price for the
past two months.
“Most students order their rings during the summer when they are
working and have money, she said.
For those students willing to spend more money, diamonds are
available. These range from $40 to $567 depending on the size and
quality of the diamond.
Orders may be placed from 8 to 11:30 a. m. and from 1 to 4:30 p. m. in
Heaton Hall.
