Stark Giving Aid
In Planning Center
J. Wayne Stark, director of the
Memorial Student Center, is now
in Gainesville, Fla., serving as a
member of a jury to select the plan
for the new student union building
at the University of Florida.
Other members of the jury in
clude three architects, one interior
designer and another union direc
tor.
In a letter inviting Stark to be
come a member of the jury, Wil
liam E. Rion, director of the Flori
da Union, stated.
“We are anious to have the jury
made up of people) who can judge
such a project both from an archi
tectural standpoint and a union
function and operation standpoint.”
Judging was scheduled for Jan.
8 and 9, with the members of the
jury being flown from their respec
tive homes, courtesy the Florida
Union.
Plans and models for the new
building were submitted as a se
mester project by nine teams of
architecture and interior design
students. Before designing their
plans, the students underwent a
thorough training period in the
functions of a student union, in
cluding in this period a four-day
field trip to a number of unions
in the Southeastern states.
Stark, a Lt. Col. in the Army
Reserve, will stop on his return
trip at the Army Missile Ballistic
Center, Redstone Arsenal, Hunts
ville, Ala., for two or three days’
active duty in missile work..
“reliable sources” in its report that
the Soviet Union had launched a
manned rocket into space.
The investigation shows that
while the nonofficial sources quoted
had proved reliable in the past,
they were reporting rumors in this
case. There has been no formal
denial the rumors from the Sor
viet government.
' “ < ‘H * I ,
The facts thus far developed are
these: ' •
The Moscow staff says it heard
the manned rocket reports from
East European correspondents and
at least one Western Embassy but
did not file the story for another
48 hours, while it continued check
ing.
Advised that other agencies were
carrying the story abroad, Mosco\y
then gave the story by telephone to
London. It was in this process
that misunderstanding arose. Two
London staffers who took the call
say they understood the Moscow
staffers to say the story could be
attributed to reliable sources.
Immediately after this, stringent
Moscow censorship was imposed on
the rocketman story.
Late Wednesday the Moscow
bureau said that while the adjective
“reliable” could apply to the
sources from which the reports
came, the rumor they were relay
ing was completely unconfirmed.
Until late Wednesday, Soviet
censorship curtained off further
news and inquiry and while the
Soviet Union made no formal de
nial of the rocketman story, of
ficials of the Committee for Cul
tural Relations with Foreign Coun
tries and a spokesman for the So
viet Academy of Sciences said they
had no information about it. A
Soviety Foreign Ministry spokes
man in Moscow said he could say
nothing about the accounts.

Airman Volunteers
To ‘Live In Space’
SAN ANTONIO, Tex., «A>)—An
airman yesterday made plans to
live for a week in a chamber that
simulates most conditions man will
meet in outer spare long enough
for a rocket trip to the moon and
back.
Airman Donald G. Farrell, 28,
plans to stay in the space flight
chamber six days longer than any
man ever has.
The test was announced for next
month at the School of Aviation
Medicine at Randolph Air Force
Base.
The 6-foot, blond bachelor from
the Bronx, N. Y., will sit in a
canvas chair in a small sealed
chamber with barely room to wig
gle his legs.
School officials say it’s the only
device of its kind in the world.
Farrell will receive eight pounds
per square inch of air pressure,
half that of the earth, and a
higher proportion of oxygen. Car
bon monoxide will be removed and
heat reduced.
Instruments will record his blood
pressure, respiration and pulse and
conditions inside the cabin.

Writes Thesis
OnArchitecture
The change in architectur
al styles during the past 50
years was emphasized this
week with the reproduction
of a thesis that was prepar
ed by a member of the first grad
uating class in architecture at
A&M.
This particular thesis was sub
mitted in partial fulfillment of the
requirements for the degree of
bachelor of science in architectural
engineering by Max F. Mayer in
the spring of 1906. He was one
of three in that first graduating
class.
The others were James S. Dean,
now retired and living in Sacra
mento, Calif., and the late J. Rod
ney Tabor, who died in 1955 after
practicing architecture in Houston
for more than 40 years.
Mayer, whose thesis was the de
sign of a library for A&M, prac
ticed architecture at Little Rock,
Arkansas, for more than 40 years.
He died about 10 years ago.
Shortly before prepai’ing the
thesis, Mayer visited- the Ecole
des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Ernest
Langford, retired head of the Divi
sion of Architectui’e, says this visit
probably accounted for the fact
that the design was influenced by
the architecture of the French
Renaissance.
Since these three men gi'aduated
in 1906, nine hundred and 50 other
degrees in architecture have been
awarded • at A&M. The require
ment calling for the presentation
of a thesis for a degree in archi
tecture is still in effect today.

ill Comedian Okay
After Close Call
SANTA MONICA, Calif., WP>—
Comedian Red Skelton, back from
a brush with death, said yesterday
he feels well enough to return to
his television show Jan. 28.
Meeting the press at St. John’s
Hospital, the red-haired comic
looked gaunt after dropping from
215 to 194 pounds, but was in good
comedy form as he joked about
his illness.
“I’ve been walking around half
dead for a long time anyway,” he
cracked.
Movie Here Stars
Gina LoIIobrigida
Gina LoIIobrigida enters a penni
less musician’s dreams of life in
a harem, then does a veil dance to
show she belongs there, in a movie
to be presented jointly by the
French Club and MSC Film Society
next Tuesday night at 9 in Guion
Hall.
The french film, “Beauties of the
Night,” which stars the curvaceous
foreign actress, is full of wit and
satire, plus a touch of sex, and
promises to pz-ovide an enjoyable
evening for the audience.
Tickets may be bought in the
Modem Language department or in
office of Miss Rosalie Spencer in
the MSC. A limited number of
tickets will be available at the
box office on the night of the
showing.
Skelton was stricken Dec. 30
with an acute asthmatic attack
which his doctors said put him
nine steps toward death.
The comic said the last he re
membered was working on notes
for a new TV series in his bed
room. “The next thing I knew I
woke up in the hospital and saw a
picture of Jesus Christ on the wall
and two doctoi’s at the foot of the
bed.” Did he pray ?
“You couldn’t hear my heart
beat for the rattle of the beads,”
he laughed. Although Skelton is
not a Catholic, Rosary beads were
pinned to his bed. “I play all
sides,” he said referring to the
beads. The comic’s children are
Catholics.
Skelton remarked that his
thoughts kept returning to John
11:25, which begins “I am the
resurrection and the life.”
But he was very lively today as
he kissed his wife, Georgia, for the
photographers and displayed his
get-well letters which come in at
the rate of 1,500-2,000 a day. “I
had so many bouquets that my
room looked like a movie gangster’s
funeral,” he added.
