H Conolly, who is currently serv ing on the executive committee of the Texas A&M Commission on the Visual Arts, says any Aggie would be proud to receive such an award. H Crisman, a retired business ex ecutive and entrepreneur, re cently endowed the Crisman In- a . stitute for Petroleum Reservoir £ n g' neer > n g at A&M.

But do you know where it comes from? His tory associate Professor Terry An derson says popular music often re flects the mood of the country. To a crowded room, Anderson played portions of 75 different songs that traced the roots of today’s music from the 1950s. Music from that period, Anderson said, symbol ized America after the victory in World War II, a sound now being . repeated in today’s music. The 50s was a romantic time, full of songs with titles like “Love is a Many Splendored Thing.” It was a time, Anderson said, when about 90 percent of the popular songs dealt with romance. And American values centered around children, marriage and jobs; “in that order” Anderson joked. The tranquil 50s gave way to the social upheaval of the 1960s. The music took on a new social awareness that criticized the silence and complacency that some artists nplacency racterized < felt characterized earlier music, An derson said. Songs like “The Sounds of Silence” and “Blowin’ in the Wind” asked questions about racism, war and sexual freedom. Songs from the Vietnam War told the story of alienation and revolt An- derson said, and sparked a movement against organized reli- f ion with music from “Jesus Christ uperstar” and “Godspell.” But the music of the 70s pro moted ecology, community and the common man. And songs like “I am Woman” signaled the awakening of women as a powerful group, Ander son said. The crusade for various groups’ rights ended in the late 1970s, Anderson said, because blacks and women found equality, the searched-for sexual freedom ar rived and the war in Vietnam was over. With those causes gone, Anderson said, today’s music has returned to the nostalgia of the 50s and shifted to materialism. Gerald D. Griffin pointed to the Army’s top logis tics staff, where he served as dep uty chief of staff. Griffin, the director of Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center in Houston, is a recognized leader in United States manned space flight. “I consider it (the Distin guished Alumni Award) the greatest honor bestowed on me,” Eivind H. Johansen says Griffin, who was instrumen tal in having “The Aggie War Hymn” played to wake up astro nauts in space. “I was flabbergasted!” Griffin says. “My jaw dropped a foot when President Vandiver told me I had been chosen to receive the award.” The four alumni were chosen from approximately 30 candi dates. Salvadoran men propose trading cash for probation Associated Press CORPUS CHRISTI — Two men accused of trying to take almost $6 million in cash out of the United States have relinquished their claim to the money in exchange for a promise that they will be placed on probation, officials said. In a plea bargain with federal prosecutors, Oscar Rodriguez-Feo, of Miami, pleaded guilty to conspir ing to transport more than $10,000 out of the country without reporting it to the U.S. government. Francisco Guirola-Beeche, of El Salvador and Albuquerque, N.M., pleaded no contest to the conspiracy charge. Statements filed by prosecutors linked the seizure with suspected narcotics smuggling. Miami pilot Gus Maestrales maintains he had no knowledge of his plane’s cash cargo on Feb. 6. and that Rodriguez and Guirola were only passengers. Rodriguez and Guirola have been linked with the highest levels of El Salvador’s political right wing. Gui- rola’s passport listed him as an inde pendent adviser to the Salvadoran state assembly. When arrested, both men carried documents that identi fied them as special counselors to Salvadoran Attorney General Jose Francisco Guerrero i the SS dH Pregnant? Undecided About e not real) R!
