“Hup two, three, four. How I
love the Cadet Corps.
Every day I love it more. Ev
ery day I pray for more.
More and more and more
and more. Cadet Corps. 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.

The outfit raising the most
will receive a keg of beer and the
second-place winners will re
ceive a basketball. The indi
vidual who raises the most
money will win a one-fifth carat
diamond for his senior ring.
The outfits that accumulated
the most points for participating
in the sack races, tug-of-war,
and the stretcher races will re
ceive streamers to be placed on
the outfit’s guidon.
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.

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.

Will There Be Blood
If You Need It?
.. .only if there’s a volunteer donor to
provide it.
Like yourself.
Blood has to come from another human
being. It cannot be manufactured.
You can be that volunteer donor April 5
through 8.
That's when the Texas A&M Blood Club
has its annual Spring blood drive.
Wadley Central Blood Bank is proud to
have been associated with this 12th Man
tradition of service to humanity during the
past 22 years. We look forward to continu
ing to participate in the Texas A&M Blood
Club drives for many years to come... and
we join with all Texans in saluting this un
paralleled gesture of generosity and concern
for one’s fellow man!

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
