Survey Reveals
Fred J. Benson and C. J.
Keese, of the Civil Engineer
ing Department, presented a
film and slide program on
traffic safety to the members
of the College Station Kiwanis
Club at their weekly meeting in
the MSC yesterday.
The main point brought out by
both the film and slides was that
approximately 98 per cent of all
traffic accidents were not really
accidents but were caused by the
driver of the vehicle taking unnec
essary chances.
Head-on collisions took the great
est toll of highway accidents fol
lowed by the vehicle going off the
road at curves. The third highest
toll of automotive accidents was
of overtaking a vehicle on a hill
side.
“The greatest cause of all three
accidents was driving at excessive
speeds. A large percentage of the
accidents could have been avoided
had the operator been driving with
in the speed limit,” said Benson.
Kiwanis secretary Dr. John
Sperry told the members that he
had received the 1951 copy of the
Kiwanis International directory
and that it might be used by all
Kiwanians who plan to take a busi
ness or vacation trip and would
like to visit Kiwanians in other
cities.
Guest speaker for next week’s
meeting will be Col. Williard Che
valier, executive vice-president of
the McGraw-Hill publishing com
pany of New York. He will be
presented to the group by Kiwanian
Gibb Gilchrist, chancellor of the
A&M College System.

the distinction of having sired the
last two winners of Hialeah race
track’s classic Flamingo Stakes—

1951.

Wilson Thinks
Our Preparing
Should Scare
Washington, March 28—
(AP)—Charles E. Wilson,
mobilization director, said last
night this nation’s principal
enemy should be “frightened”
by the progress the United States
has made in girding for any at
tack.
The country now has “in sight”
the military might to deter any ag
gressor, the former president of
Genei’a! Electric Corporation said.
“If I were a principal enemy,
I would be frightened,” he said.
The “internal enemy” of infla
tion is still with us, he warned, and
is only being slowed down, not
stopped.
As for the labor union’s revolt
over stabalization policy, Wilson
said a wage stabilization board
will be re-established “very soon,
I hope.”
The first board was scuttled
when labor members walked out in
protest against the 10 per cent
ceiling on wage increases above
Jan. 15, 1950 levels.

Washington, March 28 —(A 5 )—
Secretary of Defense Marshall
warned the United States yester
day that the world situation is more
serious than it was last November
when the western allies were
shocked by costly reverses in Ko
rea.
The general did not go into
details. He made it clear that he
was viewing the global picture as
a whole.
He said that it is unfortunate
that the United States is engaged
in a straggle on the small Korean
peninsula while Soviet activity cov
ers the whole world.
He ruled out a purely military
decision by Gen. MacArthur to or
der a general advance north of
parallel 38. He pointedly 1 said any
such decision must be made on a
political level.

fense secretary emphasized, is to
proceed “in accordance with the
necessity to safeguard the secur
ity of his command. That is the
compelling factor that dominates
his action.”
Marshall said two National

September will depart for Japan
this Thursday.
The 40th Division from Califor
nia will sail from the West Coast
and the 45th (Oklahoma) Guard
Division drawn from Oklahoma will

Sophocles’ Classic Tragedy
A n tigoneNew, Yet
Old in Traditions
When the Aggie Players present
Sophocles’ classic tragedy, “Anti
gone” in The Assembly Hall April
2 and 3, theater goers will see a
production which is modern in dress
and dialogue but which still ful
fills the ancient traditions.
The three unities—time, place
and action—will be strictly observ
ed after the fashion of the early
Greek theater where the drama
was always completed within a 24-
hour cycle.
Only one set will be used and
action will be continuous, a lower
ing of the stage lights being em
ployed to designate necessary lap
ses of time.
Also in Greek tradition there will
be the chorus, whose function it is
to tell the audience the story of
the play and to comment upon the
actions of the players.
The modern “chorus” consists
of one man, however, whereas the
ancients employed a chorus of
from 9 to 13 men who chanted
and danced and remained on
stage during the entire perform
ance.
The modern “Antigone,” (pro
nounced An-tee-go-nee, with the
accent on the second syllable) will
be presented in up-to-date prose in
stead of the classic poetical form.
Clothed in modern speech, the text
is as timely as today’s newspaper
because the basic truths it contains
are ageless.
“Antigone” was modernized by
RCA Scientist
To Give Talk
How the electron microscope is
used in biological work will be
told by a noted scientist from the
Radio Corporation of America
when the Eastern Texas District
of the Texas Academy of Science
meets at A&M April 6 and 7.
Dr. Raymond I. Miller of RCA
will address the meeting on “The
Thinnest Section,” illustrating his
talk with a film to show applica
tions of the electron microscope.
Another RCA scientist, Dr. Cyril
N. Hoyer, will explain electronic
computing instruments.
An Oak Ridge scientist, Dr.
Liane B. Russell, will discuss “Rad
iation as a Tool in Mammalian Em
bryology” in layman’s terms. She
will talk at a dinner the evening
of April 6.
Dr. J. Brian Eby, consulting pet
roleum geologist of Houston, will
discuss some topic in his field for
the Collegiate Division of the Aca
demy, which will have its own
program under direction of Prof.
F. T. Knapp of the Wildlife Man
agement department.
The A&M Consolidated chapter
of the Junior Division will be host
to a junior meeting. Dr. James G.
Potter, head of the A&M Physics
department, has arranged a pro
gram for visiting high school
teachers.
Jean Anouilh, who produced it in
Paris in 1943 as a means of pro
paganda to reawaken in the French
people a sense of the basic spirit
ual independence.
In the character of Antigone
he symbolized France while the
character of Creon, the persua- *
sive dictator who sets himself
above religion and the people, re
presented the Nazi rale.
Lewis Galantiere translated the •
play into English at the request of
Katherine Cornell who introduced
it to American audiences. With Sir
Cecil Hardwicke in the role of,
Creon, the play received wide ac
claim on Broadway.
