Page 2 THE BATTALION, Thursday, June 17, 1954 Williams Services Held (Continued from Page 1) lege training was acquired on a hit-and-run basis. In the summer of 1917 he at tended the University of Wiscon sin, in the summers of 1922, 1923, and 1925 he enrolled at Pennsyl vania State college. Almost con tinuously from 1920 to 1925 he had taken evening courses and exten sion work at the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Institute of Technology. Finally, in Aug ust of 1925, he had accumulated enough college credits for a bach elor’s degree. Since the University of Pitts burgh was the only one of his alma maters at which he had enough residence to satisfy the degree re quirements, he became a graduate of that institution. Five years after having sandwiched gradu ate courses into a busy schedule as a college department head, he re ceived his MS degree from A&M. Williams was married December 21, 1920 at McKeesport, Pennsyl vania, to Miss Jane Wheeler of Winsted, Connecticut. Spirit Impresses SMU Alumnus Here A recent graduate of Southern Methodist university who is im pressed with the Aggie spirit is the Rev. Robert C. Monk, new director of the Wesley Foundation of the A&M Methodist church. Monk’s home town is Lubbock, where he attended Texas Tech and was graduated in 1951. In 1954 he was graduated from the Per kins School of Theology at South ern Methodist university. “I am impressed with the Aggie spirit and am looking forward to working with the students of the campus,” said Monk. “The opportunities here are un limited and I believe the message of Christ has a place in the life of the Texas Aggies. I hope to be able to share in this message at the Wesley Foundation.” Lot of Bicycles Goes for Sale Ninety-nine bicycles and some parts will be sold as a lot by the college, said Walter F. Berndt, as sistant auditor. Berndt said bids on the bicycles would be accepted by the auditor’s office until about June 28. The bicycles were picked up as abandoned personal property by the Campus Security officers and held for at least 12 months from the date of pick up. Any personal property not claim ed within 12 months is considered abandoned property and may be put on sale. Cadet Slouch . . . by James Earle , \ OlOE-M POBQ VO' QUIZ.

Palace Theater Gets CinemaScope Edna Shulman- won’t admit that she has bxult a new theater to show The Robe, but that’s about what it amounts to. The inside of the Palace theater in Bryan has been repainted and redecorated, but the main change is the installation of CinemaScope equipment with the stereophonic sound. The - CinemaScope screen reaches from one side of the stage to the other, more than twice the size of the old screen there. It is made of a molded plastic material, and is seamless to prevent lines on the picture. Other new equipment includes new camera lenses and a high- fidelity sound system. The Ana- morphic lenses, which cost more than $500 each, spread the picture out over the wider screen. The sound equipment was installed by Atec-Lansing, the same firm that made the sound system for Kyle field. The equipment gives the Palace the same equipment used in New York’s Roxy and Radio City Music Hall theaters, and in Houston’s Loews State. - Battalion Classifieds - BUY, SEUL, KENT OR TRADE.
