Ave., Bryan by Mary E. Macan Battalion Reporter Capt. Edwin Kennedy says one of his goals as newly appointed adviser to the Parsons’ Mounted Cavalry is to return to the tradi tions of the cavalry of the 1930s. “The Parsons’ Mounted Caval ry is patterned after the cavalry that existed prior to 1939, and I would like to make our cavalry more authentic,” said Kennedy, 29, a U. S. Military Academy gra duate. He came in contact with Texas A&M cadets while at Fort Riley in Kansas, Kennedy said. “At Fort Riley we could always tell which cadets came from Texas A&M because they were always the most outstanding,” he said. Kennedy will handle the finan cial, administrative and public re lations matters of the cavalry here. He and Lt. Jerry Coufal, advis er of the Naval cavalry, are resear ching the cavalry of the 1930s so they can make the Parsons’ Mounted Cavalry as similar as possible. “We want to get hack the au thenticity of what the cavalry was — what it really was, ” Coufal said. Kennedy said many of the cadets uniforms contain pieces that may not he appropriate for the cavalry the group is patterned after. “Some of the members have articles of the uniform that they have picked up here and there. They think they are real neat, and they are, hut they aren’t tradition al cavalry outfit, he said. For example, many of the mem bers have gauntlets that they won t he able to wear because thev aren t v intage 1930s, he said. Kennedy brought a set of uni forms with him to Texas A&M that were used in an old color guard in the 1930s. In addition, the cavalry uses artillery, saddles and harnesses from that period that have been found or donated to them, he said. Kennedy says the real reason he was hired was because he "had all those saddles. Each year the cavalry marches in various parades, hut it often must turn down invitations be cause of lack of time and funds, he said. "The University funds about one-third of the cavalry’s expenses and the rest comes from the mem bers clues and donations from a lot of nice people who enjoy seeing the cavalrv, ’ he said. Kennedy is looking into forming a riding team that would he inde pendent of the cavalry and would he able to enter competition, he said. He also said he would like to start an equine instruction program. Marketing group sales going well up with a white camper from the student parking lot south of Mosher Hall.

Dr. Larry Gresham said Tues day that 104 schools are selling MCI and Texas A&M is leading with 1,620 sales. In this area, the University of Texas witli 1,361 sales has been Texas A&M’s big gest competition, Gresham said. “We wouldn’t he doing this if it wasn’t a good product, Gresham said. "It s a way to help out other students." The Marketing Society began the promotion of MCI on Aug. 29 and is now taking a break before starting up the promotion again around Oet. 1. When the promotion begins again, the society will set up its tables in Zachry Engineering Center and in the Memorial Stu dent Center. Being in Zachry may encourage students in that area of the campus to take advantage of the MCI service, Gresham said. One of the promotional benefits the society provided, which was sponosored by MCI, was a free three-minute phone call, Gresham said. The society hopes to provide that serv ice again in October, he said. The society also is consider ing a promotional idea in which students can sign up fora month of MCI service for a nickel. The money received for selling MCI will go toward the business trip the society will take in November. The purpose of the trip is to visit various businesses which may hire Texas A&M gra duates, Gresham said. Member FDIC Each member generally pays $40 to go to Dallas, Gresham said. This year, members will receive a dollar for each MCI service they sell. The remainder of the money will he up to the membership, Gresham said. “The main thing is not the money, he said, “but the experi ence students gain is most impor tant.
