Cadet Corps. That’s what I came here for.” This is just one of the jodies that could be heard Saturday as the Corps of Cadets marched more than seven miles along EM 60 in their annual March to the Brazos, which benefits the March of Dimes. The cadets left the campus at 8:30 a.m. and arrived at the Bra zos River two hours later for a day of fun and competition. “The March to the Brazos is fun, but at the same time we’re serving a very useful purpose and hopefully helping a lot of people,” said Corps Adjutant Glinn White, who organized the march. Before spring break, cadets began collecting donations for the March of Dimes. This year’s goal was $23,000. “We feel sure we can reach our goal,” White said. Prizes donated by local mer chants will be awarded on Pa rents’ Day, April 17, to the cadets who raise the most money.

One of the day’s highlights was the presence of three Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders. One of the cheerleaders was Melinda May, Class of ’81. “I love being back, since the guys are so well-mannered at this school,” she said. Traditionally, Corps mem bers assume the positions they will hold the following year on the way back from the Brazos River. Seniors ride back on trucks instead of marching, and juniors lead the outfits back. “As a freshman, the march was the highlight of the year in Corps activities,” Robert Kersh, a sophomore from Burleson, said. Houston sophomore Chris Dowling said he’d been looking forward to the march, since the day gave him a chance to work closely with upperclassmen. burglary occurs every- ies in Texas, leavin_ 4 cannot be repla s, burglary rings ij!|245 million worth c annually, an aver B6() a home.

Nobody leans on Texas wine producers seeking a great grape Sharky's Machine. BURJ REYNOLDS SHARKYS MACHINE by Hope E. Paasch Battalion Staff For the first time since Pro hibition, the volume and quality of Texas wine is increasing, says- a Texas A&M research associate in horticultural science at. “Texas has a long way to'go before it can compete against the fine wines produced in the Napa Valley of California,” Jim Kamas said. However, he added, some vineyards in Texas are producing wine, comparable to the Gallo product from Cali fornia’s San Joaquin Valley, that is commercially acceptable. The Texas A&M Extension Service, part of the Texas A&M University System, works with the owners of three vineyards for the purpose of researching promising grape varieties. The vineyards are located just out side of Lubbock, El Paso and Junction. fact the wine is from Tern than the quality of the prtc Iv ■ > tn m c C’lizi W’lutP unripe Will There Be Blood If You Need It? .. .only if there’s a volunteer donor to provide it.

Vineyards in the El Faso Val ley show the best potential, Kamas said. Grape growers are different from peach and apple growers, Kamas said. Those who enter the wine business are typically less farm-oriented and tend to be highly educated and finan cially secure. “Vineyards are a high-risk venture,” Kamas said, “which the everyday farmer is not pre pared to undertake.” Seven bonded wineries com mercially produce wine in Texas, including vineyards in south Texas, the high plains, the hill country and south of Dallas. Marketing will emphasize the Kamas said.
