Local THE BATTALION Page 3 WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1980 C★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★: MANOR EAST 3 MANOR EAST MALL 823-8300 Pair lights bonfire crowd By RICHARD OLIVER Battalion Staff No one could have painted a more perfect picture for a Thanksgiving, Bonfire, “Beat the Hell Outta Texas” weekend. With snow falling outside and over 6,000 Aggies gathered in G. Rollie White Coliseum Tuesday night. Seals and Crofts did what they do so well — sing. In fact, they took a restless and excited crowd and mesmerized them Review Dash Crofts (right) and Jimmy Seals harmo nize at last night’s bonfire concert at G. Rollie White Coliseum. 6,500 Aggies heard the duo Staff photo by Pat O’Malley play their biggest hits, including “Summer Breeze,” “Hummingbird” and “We May Nev er Pass This Way Again.” oliday Sri Lanka guests schedule v i s it A&M heads hosted with such old hits as “Summer Breeze,” “I’ll Play For You,” “Hum mingbird” and “My Fair Share.” Dash Crofts, well-known for his brilliance with a mandolin, hit the stage decked out compete in Texas gear: black hat, grungy blue jeans, boots and a sheriff s badge. The dark haired, bearded half of the famous duo is the more vocal of the two, and served as the spokesman most of the time. Jimmy Seals, on the other hand, is well-known for his brilliance on just about any instrument he deems to play. His calm, intellectual manner and his smooth vocals are the back bone of the group. He was dressed in a plain shirt with his ever present hat on his head. After many years together, Seals and Crofts have honed their skills and personalities to make a very pro fessional and excellent group (de spite various technical difficuties such as feedback). Although the two are most known for their patented harmony in ballads of friendship and love, it was the “cricket stompin’, hog callin’ music” that thrilled the crowd most. With Seals on the fiddle and Crofts on the electric mandolin, the group whipped through those old fashioned foot tappin’, partner twir lin’ songs that brought the crowd to its feet. The two, however, left the instru ments occasionaly to sing together at the front of the stage. When Seals and Crofts sang “Friends,” it was almost like a theme song for the two, and the crowd was a witness to that comraderie through the years. Perhaps the most appealing aspect of Seals and Crofts is their ability to give a great concert on their own merit. There are no flashy back drops; no sequined, colorful outfits. Even the backup band members look fairly conservative. Seals and Crofts love entertaining and singing. That’s obvious. And crowds like to hear them. That’s ob vious. It seems they tour less and less, while their music remains alive as a part of our memories. A standing, applauding crowd in G. Rollie White Tuesday remembered, and realized “We May Never Pass This Way Again.” kaggs shopping centef/Across from ASM CALL 846-671 4 FOR CORRECT TIMES! TIMES TODAY ONLY!

Attending from the University of Peradeniya were Vice Chancellor Dr. B.L. Panditharatne, Director of the Post Graduate Institute of Agri culture Dr. T. Jogaratnam, Chief of Party for the Sri Lanka contract Dr. Howard Ray and Bill Garvey, con sortium chairman on the Sri Lanka contract with the Academy for Edu cational Development in Washing ton, D.C. They met with Texas A&M offi cials Dr. Perry Adkisson, deputy chancellor for agriculture, Dr. Charles Samson, acting president and Dr. J.M. Prescott, vice presi dent for academic affairs. The consortium, which expires in 1985, is a $6.5 million project funded by the Agency for International De velopment through the AED to assist in the organization of a Post- Graduate Institute of Agriculture at the University of Peradeniya. Panditharatne said by meeting AED goals of junior faculty develop ment, technical assistance and labor atory facility development, the Post- Graduate Institute can meet most of Sri Lanka’s demand for high-level agriculturally trained manpower. Twenty-three Sri Lankans have participated in the project for periods of three weeks to more than a year. Eleven Sri Lankan students are now doctoral students at Texas A&M through the AED project. Within the last year, Dr. Clive Harston, professor of agricultural economics, and Dr. William Ted- tions, have visited the University of Peradeniya as short-term consul tants. Dr. John Holcomb, professor of agricultural education, is current ly in Sri Lanka as a consultant on the project.
