field trip to cotton pro-
g areas, Mogford said. In
:arly years the contestants
required to wear cotton
jals to support the cotton in
day, the pageant is still a
Miaisingevent, although the
world tour is not taken, said
Raymond D. Staten, associate
professor of agronomy. Instead,
the money is used to sponsor
students participating in state
and national events related to
agronomy, such as judging con
tests, society meetings and
speech contests.
Other changes in the pageant
can be explained by changes that
have occurred in Texas A&M,
said agronomy professor Mur
ray H. Milford. Because stu
dents can go dancing almost
anytime and because women are
now students, interest in the
pageant and the ball that follows
has decreased.
“Years ago it was one of the
major social events of the Uni-
veristy in the spring semester,”
Milford said.
Today, most entries are spon
sored by campus organizations
and Mothers’ Clubs. Each orga
nization must pay a $35 entry
fee.

About 2,000 cadets will gather
at Texas A&M on Saturday and
start their annual March to the
Brazos drive to raise money for
the March of Dimes.
Larry Warnock, organizer of
March to the Brazos, said the
Corps of Cadets has been mar
ching to the Brazos River as a
means of training since the early
1920s.
But since 1977, he said, the
march has doubled as a way to
help support a charity in the
community.
Warnock said the march also
helps build camaraderie be
tween the cadets.
Warnock said the Corps is the
single largest contributor to the
March of Dimes in the Brazos
Valley. Last year the Corps
raised about $21,000. Their goal
this year is $30,000.
“We learn a little about giving
to others, and that there is more
to life than ourselves,” Warnock
said.
The Corps will leave campus
at 8:30 a.m. and will march ab
out eight miles to the Brazos Riv
er. Activities and games will be
gin after the cadets arrive at the
river.
Warnock said cadets can meet
and have pictures taken with
three Dallas Cowboy cheerlead
ers who will be at the river when
they arrive. An army helicopter
and an M-60 tank from the
Texas National Guard will be
there on display.
When the games and com
petitions are over, the cadets will
march back to campus. Warnock
said the march back is particu
larly significant because it is the
first time the junior class is given
the opportunity to be leaders.
The senior class will ride back
to campus, and the juniors will
lead the group back.
speech will cover the use of busi
ness skills to prepare for
changes in architecture.
The third speaker will be Ian
McHarg, head of the landscape
architecture department at the
University of Pennsylvania. He
will discuss architecture from a
journalistic point of view.
The series, sponsored by the
architecture department, is held
in memory of the contributions
made to architecture by John
Rowlett. Rowlett and three
other men started a small
architecture business in College
Station thirty-five years ago.
Since that time it has grown into
a national firm.
