Greenwood
shows humor
Patriotic theme
ends performance
By Sue Brownfield
Reporter
Neither the dreary weather nor
the small audience seemed to affect
country and western singer Lee
Greenwod as he performed in Rud
der Auditorium Sunday night.
Greenwood entertained the audi
ence for two hours with his jokes,
songs and saxophone.
After strolling out to the edge of
the stage and shaking hands with
people in the front row, he asked for
a big howdy from the crowd, who re
sponded in the traditional Aggie
manner.
He performed many of his popu
lar songs such as “I.O.U.”, “SomeDo-
dy’s Gonna Love You”, and “You’ve
Got a Good Love Coming”, as well as
songs made popular by other artists,
such as, “Sometimes When We
Touch”, and “In a Love Song.”
At the beginning of his perfor
mance Greenwood told the audience
he’d like to sing the song that made
him famous. So the audience fell
hush and sat back in their seats,
awaiting a slow love song.
But the band belted out the Mc
Donald’s jingle, “McDonalds and
You, Fresh Scrambled Eggs . . . ”
causing a burst of laughter from the
crowd.
It is obvious that Greenwood en
joys poking fun at other artists. He
did an absurd imitation of Julio Igle-
sias and asked the audience, “Is
there anything sexy about that?”
Then he added, “That sucker proba
bly can’t even ride a horse.”
He said country songs are always
about a girl hurting a guy or a guy
hurting a girl. “I wonder who Boy
George hurt,” he said. “He probably
hurt himself trying to figure out
which way to go.”
However, Greenwood ended his
performance on a very emotional
note. He dedicated the last song,
“Proud to be an American”, to all of
those who served in the military and
to the families of the shuttle Chal
lenger.
In the back of the stage a huge
American flag was unrolled, bring
ing the audience to their feet.
Greenwood’s back-up band was
The Shoppe, a six-man band from
Dallas.
Panhandle

While the snow-covered Texas
Panhandle got another dose Sunday,
some parts of North and Central
Texas were bracing for their first

In the Panhandle, where snow al

pected to fall overnight, the National
Weather Service said.
Borger and Dumas had 15 inches
of snow on the ground by mid-af
ternoon, while Miami and Hereford
reported 11 inches and Amarillo
had 9 inches, forecasters said.
A winter storm warning was
posted for most of the Panhandle,
while a winter storm watch was in ef
fect for the South Plains.
In South Texas a travelers advi
sory was in effect for the Hill Coun
try Monday as a chance of rain or
drizzle changing to freezing rain or
sleet was forecast.
In Advance
Faculty Senate to meet toda)
By SONDRA PICKARD
Senior Staff Writer
A new method for selecting de
partment heads and a resolution
to change the procedure for
granting emeritus status to pro
fessors will be discussed by the
Faculty Senate today at 3:15 in
601 Rudder.
Currently, there is no specific
policy concerning the selection,
evaluation and retention of de
partment heads at Texas A&rM.
Procedures for selecting depart
ment heads are developed by the
dean of each college, and in many
cases don’t include any faculty in
put.
The new proposal, drawn up
by the Senate’s Planning Commit
tee, includes consideration of fac
ulty sentiment towards incum
bent and prospective department
heads ana broad faculty partici
pation in the selection process.
The Senate also will considera
new procedure for awarding
emeritus status to deserving fac
ulty members.
Last summer the Faculty Sen
ate approved a resolution on pro
fessor emeritus status which was
submitted to A&M President
Frank E. Vandiver. The presi
dent returned the resolution with
a request for several modifica
tions. Responding to some of
Vandiver’s concerns, the Senate’s
Personnel and Welfare Commit
tee made changes in the proposal
and will present the revised reso
lution to the Senate today.
Also, the Academic Affairs
Committee will present the Sen
ate with several recommenda
tions concerning early under
graduate admission to tht
Graduate College and under
graduate registration for grad
uate courses.
MSC Council to review goo,
By JEANNE ISENBERG
Staff Writer
The MSC Council will take a
look at the five-year master plan
for the Memorial Student Center
at its second meeting of the se
mester tonight at 7 p.m., MSC
President Denis Davis said.
The MSC has many long-range
goals to fulfill, Davis said, and un
less each goal is looked at periodi
cally in short-term objectives,
many of them would not be
achieved.
The five-year plan is the
method used by the MSC to prio
ritize its goals and to outline the
path it will take to achieve them,
Davis said.
It consists of five sections, each
detailing the goals for different
areas of the MSC: facilities, fund
ing, marketing, services and a
summary.
Following the statement of
goals in the plan, a statistical sum
mary breaks down each broad
area into a number of specifics
Each of these detailed objectives
is prioritized in order of impor
tance, Davis said, and the statistics
show how close each one is to be
ing achieved.
When a goal is rated as high in
importance, Davis said, it means
that no matter how long it takes,
that goal will be fulfilled.
Copies of the plan will be dis
tributed and if the Council has
any questions, discussion will be
at the next regularly scheduled
meeting in two weeks.
The Council is also moving
into its second slate of officer ap
pointments tonight, Davis said
The nominating committee wil
discuss and choose the executive
vice presidents and the first slate
of chairmen for 1986-1987, bm
the new officers will not officially
take over their positions until
April.

“State of the District” message to

mar School cafeteria at 1901
Villa Maria.
His visit to Bryan will be the
third of 14 stops Barton is sched
uled to make tnis week as he con
ducts town meetings in each
county within his 6th District con
stituency.
Barton said he plans to use the
meetings to discuss problems,
recognize achievements, unveil
his legislative goals for the second
session of the 99th Congress, and
sample opinion on issues cur
rently facing the nation's lawmak
ers.
“These sessions will also give
me an opportunity to discuss
some of the crucial decisions re
garding taxes and spending that
the Congress will face this year,"
Barton said.
Although part of the new
Gramm-Rudman-Hollings defirii
reduction law was declared un
constitutional on Friday, the fint
round of automatic spending cuts
mandated by the law is still ex
pected to take effect March 1.
Boys choir to perform here
By MARY McWHORTER
Staff Writer
The Vienna Boys Choir will
give a sold-out performance
Tuesday at 8 p.m. in Rudder Au
ditorium.
The program includes selec
tions from Henry Purcell, Anto
nio Lotti, Joseph Haydn, Zoltan
Kodaly, Franz Schubert, W.A.
Mozart, F. Mendelssohn-Bar-
tholdy and Johannes Brahms.
The Vienna Boys Choir was
founded by Emperor Maximilian
I on July 7, 1498. Composers
such as Christoph Wilibald Gluck,
the founder of the modern oper
atic form, Wolfgang Amadeus
Mozart, Joseph Haydn and Franz
Schubert are among the illus
trious musicians who have written
music for the choir.
In 1918, with the collapse of
the Austro-Hungarian Empire,
the choir was disbanded. How
ever in 1924, Joseph Schnitt,who
had retained the chaplaincy o(
the Imperial Chapel, decided to
start the choir again. His dedica
tion lead the Vienna Boys Choir
to international success.
Schnitt decided that the board
ing school method was the only
practical one for insuring the mu
sical training necessary for tbe
boys. Today, those who wish tobe
considered for entry attendaspe-
cial preparatory school. They re
ceive an education in the theory
and practice of singing as well as
instruction on one musical instru
ment. At the age of nine, thecarr
didates take an examination to
become a member of the choir.
Usually two choirs are on tour
at the same time. The tours Iasi
about three months. While on
tour the 24 choristers are accom
panied by a choirmaster, a tutor
and a nurse.
