Convention Here
Nash, who serves as vice-
president of the University
chapter of Young Republicans
and is a member of Phi Beta
Kappa, will be responsible for
coordinating all YR clubs in
the district during the coming
campaign months. He said he
plans to form a committee of
club members to assist him
with his duties.
HOWARD H. (Bo) Calla
way, Georgia’s only Republi
can congressman and a pos
sible gubernatorial candidate,
spoke to the convention late
Saturday afternoon.
He told the group, which
included 14 delegates from the
University YR club, that col
lege students would play a vital
part in the coming elections.
Callaway pointed out that stu
dents will be the ones this
summer who will be knocking
on every door and talking to
every voter because, he said,
“this is the way you win elec
tions.”
AT THE beginning and end
of his speech Callaway re
ceived standing ovations and
cries of "We want Bo” were
heard throughout the hall.
Callaway has yet to announce
whether or not he will run
for governor this year. When
asked about this Nash said he
thought Callaway will run.
SAID NASH, “There will be
room in this campaign and in
our club for all factions. We
will welcome all Republicans,
Independents, and Democrats
who wish to work with us.”
Nash said the convention was
“certainly an experience” and
“one I’ll remember for quite
some time.”
ANDY HEISKELL, president
of the University YR club, was
unable to attend the conven
tion because of a previous com
mitment to speak at a Cam
pus Crusade for Christ rally
at the University of Tennessee.
He said, however, that he was
“quite happy” that Nash was
elected to the state executive
committee and that he was
“very proud” of the entire
University delegation.

The Dixie Redcoat Band re
cently returned from its eighth
annual tour of Georgia. During
the four-day tour, the band
performed in Macon, Jesup,
Hapeville and Callaway Gard
ens.
The tour was a tremendous
success, “the best concert tour
the Redcoats have ever taken,”
according to director Roger
Danes. The Hapeville audience
numbered more than 1,000.
Danes noted that there were
23 high school directors in this
crowd, making it a discerning
audience.
THE SITES OF the concerts
were chosen with the idea of
covering as much of the state
as possible, giving all Geor
gians an opportunity to hear
the Redcoats.
Dancz noted that the spring
tour concerts are "designed to
fill the musical tastes of ev
eryone.” Selections included
sophisticated concert pieces
such as "Festive Overture” by
Dmitri Shostakovich and “Ov
erture for IJand” by Mendel
ssohn.
ALSO INCLUDED were a
trumpet trio, an off-beat ar
rangement of “Dixie,” which
was programmed as the “durn-
dest thing you ever hoard,” and
“A Jazz Suite” with a "mov
ing blues saxophone” soloist.
A further feature, for the
youngsters and not-so-young-
sters, was "The Man Who In
vented Music,” a musical nar
rative about a little girl who
demanded a bed-time story and
learned from her grandfather
how he invented music. Nar
rator for this selection was

the band und will provide a
shaded urea large enough for
about 1,000 seats.
THE MAJORITY of students
are not presently familiar with
the concert side of the Rod-
conts. However, the University
Concert Hand, as it is termed,
has a variety of programs
which backs up the hnnd'B

"If you don’t like what you’re
hearing, Just wait a minute."
Aside from the public rela

and tho band itself, the tour
has a recreational aspect for
band members.
The three buses are painted
nt the discretion of the mem
bers, who paint the wheels
square, and add such com
ments as “Batmobile,” "STP,"
and "Just Divorced.”
