The Texas A&M Vocal Music
Programs aroused the Christmas
spirit in Aggieland Sunday night at
its annual Christmas concert.
The Women’s Chorus, the Sing
ing Cadets and-the Century Singers
performed an assortment of
Christmas carols and seasonal music
for an audience of about 2,000 in
Rudder Auditorium.
The Women’s Chorus, directed by
Patricia P. Fleitas, began the festivi
ties with a welcome followed by Ben
jamin Britten’s “A Ceremony of Car-
ols.” The modern English
composer’s work, consisting of nine
carols written for the harp, immedi
ately set the tone for the evening.
Shana Norton, of Austin, played the
harp accompaniment throughout
the chorus’ performance.
Robert L. Boone directed the
Singing Cadets, who followed with a
series of songs tracing the life of Je
sus. This all-male chorus of about 70
sang “We’re On Top!” as a tribute to
the Aggie football team, its coaches
and its supporters.
Next, the group let loose with
“Christmas Party,” complete with
theatrics and Santa Claus. This hu
morous number was a tremendous
crowd pleaser.
Boone said the group wanted to
give everyone a feeling of Christmas
and everything it stands for.
“We want everyone to get the
right spirit for this Christmas sea
son,” he said.
Boone has directed the Singing
Cadets since 1960. The group is
presently accompanied by local pia
nist Nannette Goforth.
The Century Singers, a mixed
chorus, sang a contrasting Christmas
repertoire with traditional carols
such as “ ’Twas the Night Before
Christmas” and a “Jingle Bell Trav
elogue” that included versions of
“Jingle Bells” from around the
world.
The singers, also directed by Flei
tas, concluded with Daniel Pink-
ham’s “Christmas Cantata.” They
were assisted by a brass ensemble,
composed of ten members of the
A&M Symphonic Band.
The audience stood during the
“Hallelujah Chorus” from Handel’s
“Messiah.” Directed by Boone, the
three choirs combined their 172
voices for this spectacular Finale.
MADD ‘3-D Week’ pushes awarenes
Brazos County chapter will hold candlelight vigil forvicfr
The Texas A&M
Christmas concert
By Leigh Ann Rogers
Reporter
Mothers Against Drunk Driving chapters
across the nation marked the beginning of their
fourth annual “3-D Week” on Sunday.
The “3-D” stands for Drunk and Drugged
Driving. President Reagan has designated Dec. 7
through Dec. 13 as “National Drunk and
Drugged Driving Awareness Week.”
“President Reagan, in designating this week,
calls attention to the need for all Americans to
drive more carefully during the holiday season
and throughout the year,” said Kirk Brown,
president of the Brazos County MADD chapter.
Brown said the public hears more about
drunken driving than drugged driving.
But he said there are just as many drug-related
accidents as alcohol-related accidents.
A candlelight vigil will be conducted tonight at
7:30 on the front steps of the College Station
Community Center.
During the vigil, one candle is lighted for each
loved one injured or killed in an alcohol-related
crash.
“This is a time to remember loved ones, and
say they haven’t died in vain," Brown s.iid.
“We’re using the vigil to make people aware and
save other lives.
“We have war memorials for those killed in
wars, but we have no memorials for those killed
in drunken driving accidents.”
County Judge Claude Davis will speak at the
vigil.
Bl own said the community is invited, and any
one wishing to have a loved one remembered
may call the MADD office at 690-0512.
During 3-D Week, radio and television stations
will broadcast public service announcements.
According to the National Highway TralTu
Safety Administration, alcohol is involved in
more than 2 million motor crashes each year, and
more than 650,000 persons were injur-1
vrai m alcohol-i elated crashes.
()l all drivers killed each year, more J
pet t ent are legally inloxicatea.
Yet alcohol officially is ruled a coninK
factor in only 21 percent of the cases.
"Wc* are killing Brazos County offal am*

Explosion rocks area in downtown Fort Wall
FORT WORTH (AP) — An ex
plosion in the heart of the downtown
area early Sunday destroyed a row
of specialty shops, blew out scores of
windows in a four-block area and
frightened guests at a hotel, authori
ties said.
A guest at the 509-room Wor
thington Hotel was cut by glass, but
no serious injuries were reported in
the blast, which occurred about 3
a.m. and caused an estimated $2 mil
lion damage, said Fire Department
spokesman Butch Hall.
A natural gas leak inside a cafe
probably caused the explosion. Hall
said.
Two cafes, a print shop, an op
tometrist’s office and a bookstore
were destroyed, and at least 20 other
businesses were damaged in the
blast.
It also blew a hole in the roof of a
building on Throckmorton Street,
across the street from the normally
bustling Tandy Center shopping
mall. An explosion just hours earlier
in the normally congested area could
have resulted in many casualties.
Hall said.
“Had it happened three hours
earlier, I’d hate to think about it,”
Hall said. “This is a heavily traveled
area.”
The blast blew out windows in 162
rooms in the Worthington Hotel and
shattered a 30-foot glass wall in a
ballroom lobby but caused no struc
tural damage, hotel marketing direc
tor Tom Weiskopf said.
Hall said investigators believe a
natural gas leak in a food prepara
tion area caused the explosion.
“It’s not a suspicious situation at
all,” he said.
An inspection by Lone Star Gas
Co. revealed no problems with
mains or service lines in the area,
Hall and company spokesman Breck
Harris said.
Hotel guests said they thought a
bomb had exploded or a plane had
crashed.
Ken Yoder of Wheaton, Ill., said
he pocketed a piece of glass from his
hotel room as a souvenir.
“It was the loudest noise I ever
heard,” Yoder said.
W.P. White, a hotel guest from
San Angelo, Texas, said that “some
people got a hell of a wake-up call.”
Firefighters checked all 509
rooms of the Worthington for cas
ualties, Hall said.
“One guy slept through it,” Hall
said. “He wouldn’t answer the door
so we beat the door down with an ax.
When we got in there, the room was
covered with glass. There was glass
all over his bed. He wanted to know
what had happened.”
Barbara Aucoin, a hotel guest
from Nashville, Tenn., said she was
“petrified” by the explosion.
“I thought it was an airplane
crash,” she said.
Her husband wasn’t worried.
“He told me to go back to bed,”
Aucoin said. “He said it was only
thunder.”
Because of the threat of falling
glass and weakened structures, in
vestigators waited until after day
break to search the wreckage and
sealed off six downtown city blocks.
Hall described the 4
streets:
“It’s kind of an eerietM

SMU booster ‘didn’t want
to cause embarrassme
DALLAS (AP) — George
Washington Owen Jr., who Finds
himself near the center of the lat
est football flap at Southern
Methodist University, said his in
tentions were to help the school,
not hurt it.
Acquaintances describe Owen
as the ultimate booster.
Owen, 61, is a native of Dali as.
He attended SMU on a basketball
scholarship and is now a real es
tate developer.
He was one of nine SMU boost
ers singled out by the NCAA last
year for undisclosed recruiting
activities. Owen was barred for
life from having contact with
SMU athletes, an event that he
says has caused him pain.
“I just don’t want to do any
thing that would cause SMU any
embarrassment or any prob
lems,” Owen said. “I’ve done
enough of that already.”
Three weeks ago, the!
Morning News reported
Owen had provided a rent
