Weekend Wrap upAll in all, it was a winning weekend.,

one wonders if the success or failure of a Corps Trip week-True, the team was outscored in the Cotton Bowl. But

end—or any weekend—depends entirely on the outcome of the brief clash on the gridiron.

It would seem that a great deal of the success or failure of the occasion would depend on the conduct of the students in stands—the Twelfth Man if you will—certainly equally as much as the outcome of the battle which the 11 men do on the field.

This does not take credit away from the football team. Rather, it puts football in its proper perspective with other activities—it is but one small part of a famous and proud school which boasts of never being defeated no matter what the score.

The yell practice after the game—a new “tradition” well worth remembering and continuing—readily displayed that although the team was outscored the 12th Man was not— and will not be defeated.

Such things make A&M great.

The Classic Arts

Town Hall Show to DepictConduct in Dallas and on the highway to and from the

city was, as has been the rule and not the exception this year—above reproach. It never ceases to amaze outsiders to see Aggies as they really are: full of pride that comes from knowing they have something special; fun-loving, a trait not to be sold short in maturing men or adults; and at the same time serious thinking, since they know the special significance of the uniform they vyear that marks them as the men of Aggieland—members of a living tradition that stretches back to ’76.

★ ★ ★One other point worthy of comment about the weekend

was the marked absence of an interrupted study period Mon­day night to pay homage to one of the number who fell victim to the two deadly companions riding with every car­load of Ags enroute to Dallas.

Driving an automobile is serious business—as serious as death itself—and it is to the credit of every Aggie driver that no one let the excitement of the weekend prompt him to foolishly waste his life and the lives of his passengers.

Such commodities as human life need cherishing on the highways equal as much as they are cherished in hospitals. The fight for survival against tremendous odds is increasing every weekend— a moment of carelessness—a split second of diverted attention will destroy the long record of deathless holidays at Texas A&M and will cost the life of men the world cannot do without. . .

American Dancing ErasBy HENRY LYLE

Dancers Bambi Linn and Rod Alexander will reanimate some 60 years of America—as reflect­ed in the nation’s dancing— when they bring their “Dance Jubilee” troupe to White Coli­seum tomorrow night.

Under the auspices of Town Hall, Miss Linn and Alexander (who have obtained a considerable following from their night club and television performances) will head a company of 16 dancers, singers and musicians. This com­pany, tourning for the first time, draws its material from dying pieces of authentic America, such as vaudeville, the New Orleans jazz idiom, the “roaring 20’s” and home delivered milk.

Background music will be pro­vided by a small band and sing­ers have been added to create a mood of time passing.

Bambi and Rod are featured in a “cake-walk”, a soft-shoe specialty to “By the Light of the Silvery Moon”, an “After the Ball” waltz, a puppet ballet, the Castle Walk, and a story ballet entitled “Twelve Hours Leave” set to Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue”.

Some old standards will also be seen such as the Turkey Trot, the Charleston and Black Bot­tom. The program includes ex­perts from folk music, operettas (Victor Herbert, Rudolph Friml, Sigmund Romberg), along with tunes by Irving Berlin and other popular composers of his era.

Choreography has been done by Alexander, who first conceiv-

Who’s Here

Wooten in 7th Yelling YearBy JACK TEAGUE

“I like this place so much I took seven years to graduate.”

These are familiar words heard often at yell practice, boomed forth by civilian yell leader John W. Wooten.

John, a 24-year-old senior bus­iness administration major from Abilene, hasn’t actually been on the Aggie campus seven years, but he did psent his “fish year here in 1951.

A graduate of Abilene High School, John was halfback of the football team for two years there. He admits it’s hard to re­member back that far, but does remember having “one heck of a good time.”

Although John will be the only Aggie graduate of his family, he says he used to wear Aggie T- shirts when he was only'five. He abandoned the T-shirts and donned the fish unform in 1951, and was a “fightin’ Troop Nine Jock, sir.” This was way back in the old days when the fish had their own all-fish area.

After his fish year, John went to Tarleton College for one year, and then into the Marine Corps in September, 1953. “I wasn’t accomplishing much in college,” John said, “and decided I’d do better with the Marines than the textbook for a while.”

John went to boot camp at Marine Corps Recruit Depot in San Diego, Calif., for three solid months—and no liberty! “While at boot camp, I averaged three cigarettes a day, saw two movies in three months, had one coke in three months, and paid 75 cents for the one piece of candy I had,” John said.

John remembers how his being from Texas caused a minor diffi­culty. It seems that since he

was from Texas, his drill instruc­tor felt the necessity of finding a horse for John. But since no horses were available, John had to “ride his broom” everytime he left his barracks during free time.

From boot camp, John went to Camp Pendleton, Calif., for com­bat training. From there, he went to Las Vegas, Nev., as a member of the Military Police Marine unit charged with protection of the AEG activities there.

During his 18 months in Las Vegas, John had time to jneet

many celebrites. He became very good friends with Kay Starr of record fame. It seems that Jane Russell’s makeup man, an old family friend, made the introduc­tion. And he also found time to “hobnob” around with Bob Hope, Howard Hughes, and Walter WinchelPs son.

John returned to Aggieland in the spring of ’56 when he was discharged from the Marines. In addition to being yell leader, he is a member of the Marketing Society and the Abilene Home­town Club.
