Gamuck: Thbt has possibilities,
S. W., but I don’t think that will do.
Casting Director: Mr. Gamuck,
I think the script writer’s idea is
a good on6. Sjince I had already
cast Randolph Scott for the part
of Hamlet, it is; c(uite possible that
the western roljb would fit him bet

Gamuck (smjling): To be or not
to be, that is] the question. (All
laugh). i*
Carstqirs: Dhr ia quoting from
the play. Well said, DaY.
Gamuck, Thinks, Ben.
Script Writer: Well, 1 thought
that perhaps since we modified
that setting, * e have to make n

To bring the]ntory right hortte,

(All roll on floor).
Carstairs: .Par is quoting from
the play. Well, said, Dar.
Gamuck, Thanks, Ben.
Script Writer: Well, anyway,
Hamlet is suspicious of his uncle
and sets about to trap him in
hia deviltry. In the meantime,
he falls madly in love with
Ophelia who is trying to oper
ate a neighboring ranch since
her dad died, but she is having
all kinds of difficulties. It seems
that all her cattle have been
shot.
Casting Director: That’s splen
did since I hud cast Dale Eva'ns
for Ophelia and Victor Jory for
Hamlet’s uncle.
Script Writer: Well, to make a
long story short, after numerous
0
ddentnlly shot from Mlray hunt
er’s bullets, hut some sort of foul
play is working. In the end, how-
ever, Hamlet is made a United
States marshall and solves the
whole mess. When he discovers
his uncle is the perpetrator of the
Crimes, he has him sent to prison;
then resigns as marshall, marries
Ophelia and gots into politics, get
ting elected to governor of the
state. He then gives his uncle full
pardon and alt live happily ever
after.
All: Splendid! Bravo!
(Gamuck’s secretary enters and
gives him a note.)
Gamuck (crestfallen): • Gentle
men, I have bad news: An Eng
lish studio has already produced
Hamlet.
All: 0, gee.
Gamuck: But wait, why not'
change the script a little, change
the characters, change the name
and produce it anyway. Nobody
ever sees those English pictures
here anyway, i
All: (shouting): Egad what an
idea!
Gamuck (screaming above the
din): And what’s more we could

with. the length varying Up to a
maximum of two years, which will
equip students for life,” Gilchrist
said. <
!Pointing out that only 35 per
cent of enrolling students it A&M
continued to graduation, and that
those that drop out have not been
prepared for a career trade, Gil
christ said, “there is a great need,
particularly in agriculture and en
gineering, for intensive training
between the high School level and
the upper class highly specialized
training usually obtained in the
junior and senior years.”
He added that NTAC is such
an institution.
The chancellor commented that
making the school a four-year
college would require expenditure
of a “few million dollars,” and a
resulting division of state funds
needed for strong agricultural
and engineering advanced train-
ing. The bill had been given lit
tle chance to get past both houses
because of the lateness of the ses-

h(s stand.
