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.

Tlie MCI Telecommunications
Corp. telephone service promo
tion sponsored by the Marketing
Society has been a success so far,
says the Marketing Society’s facul
ty adviser.
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.
