And some wanted a head start on capturing the Christmas spirit. Regardless of the motives, an as sortment of floats, marching groups and mounted groups, in all totalling 92, made this year’s Bryan-College Station holiday parade the largest ever. Rodger Lewis, KAMU-TV pro gram director and parade chairman, said a total of about 4,000 people participated, apd another 30,000 to 40,000 came to watch. As they have in the past, the Ross Volunteers led the parade. The Ag gie Band has also participated in past years, Lewis said, but members played at the University of Texas — Texas A&M game Saturday in Aus tin and were unable to participate in Sunday’s parade. T he parade, including about 40 floats displaying the parade’s theme, “A Real Texas Christmas,” got un derway at 3 p.m. One float, entered by MSC Hospi tality, which is sponsoring next Feb ruary's Miss Texas A&M University Pageant, featured the 20 pageant fi nalists in a desert scene. The finalists were dressed in west ern wear, and each cactus on the float was decorated like a Christmas tree. “The fact that we have won the (first) prize the last two years has really motivated us to be creative and come up with a new' idea," Gil Warrick, pageant production direc tor, said last Thursday. He said 30 to 40 students worked on the 20-foot long float for two weeks. A score of employees at Alenco, a company that produces aluminum building products, worked for three weeks on their float, titled “A Tex an’s Christmas Tree Ornaments.” Personnel manager Annette Ad ams said Alenco, one of about 20 businesses that entered floats this year participates, in the parade about every two years. “We’d like to do it every year, but it takes a lot of work,” Adams said. “It puts us in the Christmas spirit — gets us started.” Other entries in the parade in cluded the Bryan and A&M Consol idated High School Bands and the Shriners from the Shrine Temple in Houston. The Shriners did stunts in miniature cars and mini motorcy cles. • About five members of the A&M One-Wheelers, a unicycling club, performed stunts, riding bad«| peddling with one foot anq ning. Also in the parade to entert: public was the KKYS-FM Hi Cs Kazoo Band. Sponsored by the radios and Dr. G’s, a local niehtdulu 30 people played holiday tuna eluding “Rudolph the Red) Reindeer,” “Jingle Bells," and Wish You a Merry Christm along the parade route. “1 wanted to do something different,” Skip Bishop,prop rector for KKYS, saidlastFndi Uni I WASH ty’s majo whether ■ussroon and pan the Supn 1 The ni guments raising tl them by v I Tire m court is w into classi I State-s; ' been ban 1962 whe public scl students He said there are several I fans at the station, and theidd the band came up abouttw ago in ;t bull session.

Texas Ave. 822-2819 512 Villa Maria 822-5277 ATLANTA — Former President Jimmy Carter has revealed that dur ing his four years in office he kept a 6,000-page White House diary that recorded sensitive details about world leaders who passed through the Oval Office. Carter, 60, revealed details of the diary in an interview with United Press International. He said it would not be released with other White House papers when his presidential library opens at Emory University because the material in it is sensitive. “I kept a diary,” Carter said while in town for a health conference last week. “I wrote in it every night and it was about 6,000 pages long when I left the White House. “But I think it might not be ap propriate for a long time to make it public,” he said. “Some of the things recorded in my diary were about family matters, but some were my impressions of world leaders who came to my office. “Many of those leaders are still in office and I wouldn’t want them or their governments to know what I thought of them as president of the United States.” Carter said the library will house 29 tractor-trailer loads of records that came with him to Georgia when he left the White House. He said more than 5 million documents re lated to his presidency are still classi fied, but officials are working hard to declassify as many as possible.
