Globetrotters Entertain In G. Rollie White

By LEE MORENO Battalion News Editor

Civilian students who fail to observe University regulations on clothing and general appearance may be spending a lot of time in the coffee shop from now on.

All professors and instructors are being asked to dismiss from class any civilian student whose appearance is not neat or in good taste. Such dismissal will merit an unexcused absence.

Apparently the biggest problem is civilian haircuts.

“AS LONG AS we require Cadets to have neat military hair­cuts, we do not think it unreason­able to ask that civilian under­graduates also have neat well- groomed haircuts,” said James P. Hannigan, dean of students. He pointed out that civilian haircuts need not be excessively short, but neither should they be unkept.

THE NEED TO enforce the clothing regulations was brought to the attention of Earl Rudder, president of the Texas A&M Sys-

Vance Packard, renowned auth­or and social critic, will present a lecture in the Memorial Stu­dent Center 8 p.m. Wednesday.

The lecture will be under the sponsorship of the Great Issues Committee of the MSC, Dick Westbrook, Great Issues publicity chairman, announced.

Enrollment Tops 9,000 Students For Spring Term

Spring semester registration neared a record high Monday with 9,135 students already in the fold.

Registrar H. L. Heaton predict ed the enrollment figure will climb 600 to 700 higher before registration ends at noon Satur­day.

Monday’s total was only ten students short of last spring’s record-shattering mark of 9,145. Heaton said current totals do not include cadets registering at the Texas Maritime Academy in Gal­veston.

The 1966 spring enrollment was 8,253 after two days of reg­istration, Heaton noted.

Classes started at 8 a.m. Mon­day, but late registrants will be processed in the Registrar’s of­fice during regular hours through noon Saturday.

tem. The Civilian Student Coun­cil, headed by James T. Oliver presented Rudder with a petition asking for the cooperation of Uni­versity professors and instructors in helping the Council to enforce the clothing regulations and to improve the appearance of civilian students.

“IN THIS EFFORT to improve campus dress, we request that you ask all of your professors and instructors to dismiss from class any offending student and credit him with an unexcused absence,” the Council stated.

Calling it a very commendable suggestion, the University Execu­tive Committee pointed out that the Civilian Council was merely asking for assistance in enforc­ing a standing University regula­tion.

From the Executive Committee, the petition was presented to the Academic Council who after due discussion also approved the re­quest of the civilian group.

THE PETITION reads as fol-

The topic of Packard’s address will be “The Invasion of Oxir Privacy.”

Westbrook said Packard is in­ternationally recognized for his incisive, meticulously researched investigations of trends in modem society which endanger individual liberty.

A native of Pennsylvania, Pac­kard earned his masters degree from Columbia’s Graduate School of Journalism and spent five years as a newsman in Boston and New York before specializing in the social sciences.

For several years Packard gave weekly lectures at Columbia and New York University in addition to research and interviews for his books.

His first book, “The Hidden Persuaders,” quickly became a best-seller. “The Status Seekers”1 in 1959, and “The Waste Makers” in 1960 also became best-sellers.

Other books of his include “The Pyramid Climbers,” an examina­tion of the roads to success that today’s executives must travel, and “The Naked Society,” which threw the spotlight on the profes­sional investigators who inspect control, and keep an eye on indi­vidual citizens.

Packard has also contributed to the Aatlantic Monthly, Reader’s Digest, Look, Ladies Home Jour­nal, Saturday Evening Post, Har­per’s, and the New York Times Magazine.

lows:It has been called to the

attention of the Civilian Stu­dent Council that the dress of some of the civilian students is not being observed as required by paragraph 58 of the Univer­sity regulations. The appropri­ate clothing regulations are:

(1) All students will wear clothing which is in good taste and generally accepted by the people of this community.

(2) “T” shirts (including practice jerseys, etc.) will not be worn on the campus by a student unless he is participat­ing in an athletic activity.

(3) Shower shoes will not be worn outside the dormitories by any student at any time.

(4) Tattered trousers (includ­ing blue jeans, khakis, etc.) will not be worn on the campus.

(5) Socks will be worn with shoes of all kinds) on the cam­pus at all times.

(6) A student will be requir­ed to have a neat appearance on the campus at all times. He

will be clean shaven with proper hair cut, and without beards.

(7) Civilian students will not wear the Texas A&M cadet uni­form at any time or place.

HANNIGAN POINTED out that the Dean of Students has authority to grant exceptions to the haircut and clothing require­ments. He said that the Univer­sity has never required graduate or foreign students to be clean shaven. A graduate should be entitled to just a little more free­dom than an undergraduate, he feels. And the religions of many

Campus Talent Auditions Held Tonight In MSC

Texas A&M students interested in appearing on “Campus Talent ’67,” to be telecast throughout the state in the spring, are invited to audition today.

Charles Segrest, Talent Com­mittee Chairman for the A&M Memorial Student Center, urged aspiring performers to audition at 6:30 p.m. in the Memorial Stu­dent Center ballroom.

Interested students are asked to contact Segrest in the MSC Stu­dent Program Office. Singers, dancers, musicians, groups, spe­cialty acts, comedians and magi­cians may try out.

Last year’s telecast included the Singing Cadets of A&M.

Segrest said students are ask­ed to provide their own accom­paniment at the audition. Per­formers selected will be paid a professional fee.

ever be the same again after Monday night’s invasion by the wizards of basketball, the Har­lem Globetrotters ?

The Globetrotters’ show rolled into the coliseum complete with variety acts of acrobats, a clown, world champion ping pong play­ers, and a brand of basketball un­matched anywhere in the world.

Led by the clown prince of the hard court, Meadowlark Lemon, the Trotters raced their oppon­ents, the New York Nationals, up and down the floor, at times playing the game with the polish of the professionals they are and at other times with the touch of

comedy which has kept Globe­trotter fans laughing for 41 years.

Incredible ball handling and shooting by the dean of dribbling, Freddie “Curley” Neal, whose completely hairless head matched the polished court in luster, and the continuous clowning by Lem­on kept the 6500 spectators gasp­ing and laughing during the four 10-minute quarters.

The pre-game show caught the imagination of the thousands of Aggies present as Miss Loni of Holland treated the crowd to an exhibition of juggling with her feet.

The acrobatic Manuel Brothers from Mexico and the unicycle rid-

Aggies may find themselves in a panic if they try to attend the Johnny Mathis Town Hall Con­cert without tickets Monday night.

Although it is a regular Town Hall performance, students may not follow the procedure of show­ing their ID’s and activity cards at the door to gain admittance.

Instead, a ticket distribution program has been adopted. Stu­dents must pick up their tickets at the Memorial Student Center during a “student priority pe­riod” from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. today and Wednesday. The tick­ets are free upon presentation of activity cards and ID’s. Date tickets may be purchased at the

ing and juggling French team of Les Blue and Eyvette rounded out the pre-game activities.

During halftime the pace didn’t drop as the clown, Lee Marx, entertained the audience and two ping pong experts, Steve Kesler of the United States and Richard Bergmann of Great Britain, played an exhibition game.

In the second half the Trotters did the routines which have made them famous: the football andbaseball routines, the water fight, the returning basketball and the wobbly ball.

Oh yes, as usual the Trotters came out on the plus side of the scoreboard 98-78.

same time for $2 each.Tickets will go on sale to the

general public at the same hours on Feb. 11, and from 9 to 12 Sat- uday morning. Any remaining tickets will be sold Monday dur­ing regular office hours and at the door prior to the perform­ance.

“Students who do not pick up their tickets during the priority period may pick them up then, if there are any left,” Chris Hartye, student programs stenographer, noted.

Reserve seat holders for Town Hall attractions will be honored.

Since there are 2000 more stu­dents than seats available in G. Rollie White Coliseum, in addi­tion to a great number of pre­dicted public ticket sales, a near capacity crowd is expected. Doors will open at 7:15 p.m., and the performance is scheduled to be­gin at 8.

The Student Programs Office is located in the MSC basement, near the browsing library.

Noted Economist Speaks In Spring Lecture Series

Dr. John K. Galbraith, noted economist and former U. am­bassador, heads a list of four spring speakers for the Texas A&M University Lecture series.

Galbraith will speak April 11, almost two weeks later than orig­inally scheduled. Graduate Dean Wayne C. Hall said the change was made at Dr. Galbraith's re­quest.

His topic is “Economic Policy: The Prospect in Light of the Re­cent Past.”

First speaker in the spring series is Dr. William Dix, direc­tor of the Princeton University Library. His talk, “New Chal­lenges to University Libraries,” is set Feb. 15.

Dr. Warner Kloepfer, a Dan- forth visiting lecturer, is sched­uled March 7, for a talk on “Radi­ation and Human Genetics.” He is a member of Tulane Univer­sity’s medical faculty whose scholarly accomplishments have made him a frequent participant in international conferences and genetics symposia.

Terry Sanford, chairman of the National Governor’s Committee on Education, comes to A&M April 25 for a lecture, “Are the States Dying?” Sanford travels throughout the country to arouse deeper public interest in local re­sponsibility for education.

Sanford was governor of North Carolina from 1961 to 1965, but was Constitutionally ineligible to succeed himself. He returned to private law practice for a short time before accepting the nation­al education post.

All University Lectures are set for 8 p.m. and free to the public. Dix, Kloepfer and Galbraith will speak at the Memorial Student Center. Sanford’s talk will be in the Chemistry Lecture Room.

In most cases, the lecturers will spend the day on campus, meeting with faculty and stu­dents regarding their specialties.
