THE BATTALION Famed Deep-Sea Diver, Adventurer, To Present Picture on Town Hall Program Max Gene Nohl, famed deep-sea diver, explorer, adventurer, photo grapher, lecturer and writer, will speak and present a technicolor picture concerning deep-sea adventure on Town Hall March 28. Nohl graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1928, and since that time has dedicated his life to the opening of nature’s last stronghold—the ocean bottom. To his credit, at present, are many deeds in invention and ex ploration. Not only is he an authority on undersea adventure but a master photographer as well. It is-f- expected that his performance will be unique and of universal interest to everyone at College Station. Un dersea adventure has stirred the minds of men since Jules Verne wrote “Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea”, and such an ex perienced man as Mr. Nohl will be able to present many points of interest concerning this field of the unknown. By supplementing his lectures with pictures in technicolor, Mr. Nohl will be able to give the stu dents a more vivid picture of some of his undersea adventures. Under sea photography is a distinct and difficult art, but in the hands of this master of the lens, the result is so effective that his audience feels as if they have witnessed undersea dramas which for years have been mysteries to men. The realm of submarine life and ev ents can only be witnessed and ex perienced by many people by means of photography and from lectures by such famous men as Mr. Nohl, and the opportunity of hearing him will be appreciated by all in terested in nature and engineer ing. NINE ENCORES GIVEN 5TH TOWN HALL PROGRAM Texas A. & M.’s Town Hall pre sented the fifth in its current series of entertainment programs Tues day night in Guion Hall when Nancy Swinford and the Bel-Canto Quartette sang before an audience of 500 persons. Although a very fine singer, Miss Swinford was at a disad vantage in that the audience was too mindful of another mezzo- soprano who sang here recently— Gladys Swarthout. But if you like old fashioned “barber shop har mony,” the Bel-Canto Quartette would have more than satisfied you. Not only able singers, but bless ed with fine stage personalities, the four Texas singers were call ed back for six encores and Miss Swinford for three. Home is the place where they always slice the ham a little thick. R. V. Festivities— (Continued from page 1) memorial ceremony of placing a wreath on the statue of Lawrence Sullivan Ross for whom the or ganization was named. From 3 till 5 Friday afternoon a tea dance in honor of the Princess will be held at Mrs. Parker’s Tea Room in Bryan. The Captain’s Ball, honoring Dan Sharp, Captain of the Ross Volunteers company, will take place Friday night at 9 following the Captain’s Dinner at 7 o’clock. Saturday afternoon the Ross Volunteers will play an exhibition baseball game with A1 Kavelin and members of his orchestra on the baseball diamond southeast of Pur- year Hall. Activities will be concluded Sat urday night with the corps dance. A1 Kavelin and his orchestra will furnish music for all of the dances. Military sponsors of the R. V.’s are Colonel George F. Moore, Lieu tenant-Colonel R. L. Christian, Lieutenant-Colonel O. E. Beezley, Major H. M. Woodward, Major L. S. Stickney, Major W. R. Irvin, Major R. E. Hill, and Captain B. S. Shute. The Guard of Honor consists of Warner M. Brundrett, Joe Slicker, Paul Haines, Tom Stovell, Dave Yarbrough, Jack Nelson, Pete Decker, Preston Bolton, Dick Phil lips, and George Taylor. Master of ceremonies at the ban quet is L. V. Adams; chancellor is Charles Zahn, who will officiate during the coronation ceremonies. All decorations were designed by the architectural student members of the R. V.’s, with technical ad vice from Miss Lila Adams Titley, a Dallas interior decorator, and her assistant, Mrs. Betty Morris. Tom Harris is being assisted by Mrs. W. L. Penberthy in planning and conducting the coronation. Stern is the name of Russia’s new generalisimo. It is also a word symbolical of an unyielding dispo sition, or, again, an indication of a place a fellow is likely to get kicked. DON’T GO AWOL! Don’t leave for the spring recess A. W. O. L.! A notice issued yesterday by Colonel George F. Moore, Commandant, reminds every one that all students who leave early for the spring holidays, failing to attend classes or drills scheduled be fore the beginning of the hol idays, will be absent without leave (A.
