Faculty cut wood Saturday
The first official faculty bonfire cutting day will be this
Saturday.
The faculty cut is being sponsored by the Corps Bonfire

in bonfire activities and become acquainted with the proce
dures and methods of building the bonfire.
Faculty members who are interested in cutting Saturday
should meet behind Duncan Dining Hall at 9. a.m. The
f aculty will be given a tour of the cutting site and a brief
cutting class will be held before actual cutting begins.
After bonfire building has been completed, any scrap
wood that is left over will be available to the faculty for their
personal use.

MSC MBA/Law Day is an MSC Council project designed to inform
prospective students about graduate studies in law and business. The
program is divided into two presentations: the morning session concen
trating on law opportunities and the afternoon presentation concentrat
ing on careers in business administration.
The program consists of group discussions between students and A&M
former students who have obtained graduate business and law de
grees from various schools across the nation. During these sessions,
panel members discuss their present job responsibilities and other
relevant information with prospective students. The informal atmo
sphere of these discussions encourages active interaction between the
panelists and members of the group.
Also present will be faculty and admissions office representatives from
major graduate business and law schools of this region and the nation.
Current information, catalogs and application forms from nationwide
schools will also be available. Separating the sessions will be an
informal BBQ lunch which provides an excellent opportunity for stu
dents to sit down and exchange ideas with individual alumni or school
representatives on a one-to-one basis. For students who have decided
upon graduate school, or even those who are undecided, MSC
MBA/Law Day is a chance to learn, explore and ask questions about
careers in business administration and law. For More Information Call

“There’s nothing they can do
for your voice in voice training,”
Anna Russell remarks with a
twinkle in her blue eyes. “They
can make it louder and keep you
from getting laryngitis, but the
actual voice is not going to
change. When you’ve got a tin
voice, you’ve got it forever.”
And, Anna Russell has made
a career of showing oi l her own
tin voice. This prima donna of
parody, appearing Saturday at 8
p.m. in Rudder Auditorium, has
made such a career of her less
than adequate voice that she has
been billed as the “world’s fun
niest woman.”
The performer, 70, started
her career as a student of music
at the Royal College of Music in
London. She soon found,
however, that when she sang no
one took her seriously.
“I figured if everybody’s
going to laugh anyway, I might
as well make a buck,” Russell
said.
