Chem E. Wives
Open Collection
Of Books. Mags
Chemical Engineering Wives
Club have begun their second an
nual “Book and Magazine Drive”
in the College Station and Bryan
area, according to Pat Neely, club
publicity manager.
As the club’s annual project, the
books Mill go to all grades of the
colored schools of College Station
and Bryan.
Last year’s drive, which includ
ed only books, brought in a total
of 600 educational books and nov
els for the students.
“We hope to i-each a goal of
1,000 books and magazines this
year before our Mar. 27 deadline,”
said Mrs. Neely.
Since the colored schools have
n’t had any money for the past
three years alloted for their li
braries, there is a great need for
the books, she went on to say.
There is a particularly great need
of children’s books in the first
three grades.
“If you have any books or mag
azines for which you have no fur
ther use but which would be edu
cational for the students from the
first through 12th grades, please
phone VI 6-4866 or VI 6-6257,”
Mrs. Neely said. Club members
will pick up the books.
Magazines suggested by Mrs.
Neely were Time, Newsweek, and
Reader’s Digest.

Thursday, January 12, 1956 THE BATTALION
POWER TO BURN—No pun intended*about the transformers now being- installed at the
A&M power plant. This work is part of an overall improvement in the college power sys
tem that was authorized by the Board of Directors for the A&M System some time ago.
Improvements in that area, near Timber Vihage, are a usual thing, a water cooler having
been built recently to replace the old one that had become a little dilapidated.
Deputy Marshall
Aggie To Ploy In Movie
By JOE TINDEL
Battalion Staff Writer
Someday we may be able to see
a six foot, nine inch Aggie take the
place of stars such as Gary Cooper
and Randolph Scott in western
movies.
Hugh D. Lanktree, colorful cow
boy and fifth year student at A&M,
will play the part of deputy United
States Marshall in the picture “Hell
on Horseback” which will be re
leased within the next year. The
picture, released through United
Artists, will be produced by Lock-
lin , Pictures Inc. of Dallas and di
rected by John Forbes. Forbes,
under the screen name of John
Carpenter, will play lead role in
the film. The company will go on
location in the vicinity of Dallas in
about 15 days.
The Locklin Company is a small
film company at present, but has
possibilities of growing if its pic-
| tures prove successful. The picture
which Lanktree plays in is to be
the first in a series of pictures
which this company plans to pro
duce. He will play the Deputy
Marshall in each one.
“All I want is a toehold on the
industry,” Lanktree said. “This
company isn’t very big, but I plan
to stay with it if it grows. If it
doesn’t, I’ll work for some indepen
dent company which has possibili
ties.”
Lanktree said the main thing he
is playing up in his bid for movie
roles is his height. He has appear
ed on TV once.
“People turn and look at me
when I walk down the street be
cause of my height so why
shouldn’t they notice me on a movie
set,” he said.
Lanktree’s goal is to someday
play in films like “Vera Cruz.” He
wants to play parts like Gary
Cooper and some of the other lead
ing western stars play. He believes
that with his height and some ex
perience, this someday might be
possible.
“After a few pictures 1 hope to
have quite a few fans,” he said.
“I already have 400 children in my
fan c^Jub in Dallas.”
Lanktree hopes to influence the
film company to go on location
near A&M so that any Aggies in
terested in getting in the film as
extras may do so. He said that the
country around here would be a
good place for location.
The rangy Aggie was recently
named to Who’s Who Among Col
lege Students In America and is
Housemaster for Bizzell Hall. He
is also active in many other activi
ties on the campus. He received a
degree in English last year and
plans to get a degree in Animal
Husbandry this year so he can have
a ranch and raise horses on the
side. His aim in this is to train a
horse to do tricks in his movies.
