EE Department Receives
Westinghouse Equipment
W. M. Oliver, area sales mana
ger for Westinghouse Electric
Corporation of Houston, presented
$8100 of electric equipment to the
Department of Electrical Engineer
ing at A&M yesterday on behalf
of the Westinghouse Education
Foundation.
“The new laboi’atory equipment,”
rotation machines,” Benson added.
Designed by faculty members at
Massachusetts Institute of Tech
nology and further developed by
Westinghouse engineers at Pitts
burgh and Buffalo, the laboratory
units' include a fractional direct
current motor and a three horse
power “dc” motor, a torque meter
Dean Benson, after accepting
the equipment on behalf of the
School of Engineering, told the
nearly 100 electrical engineering
students on hand for the presenta

Aggie Players Open Comedy
Production Here Wednesday
After more than five weeks of
rehearsal, the Aggie Players have
set Nov. 4-7 as showing dates for
their current production, “Bus
Stop”, a comedy and current suc
cessful Broadway hit by William
Inge.
Harry Goodwin is director of
the show to be in the lower level
of the Memorial Student Center
and he also plays the part of Dr.
Lyman, a leading* character.
Included in the cast are Marlene
Rushing, playing the part of Elma,
Pat Wan in the role of Grace and
Bill Stough playing the Sheriff.
Also in the cast are Travis Ma T
dole playing the Bus Driver, Perry
Pope playing the part of Virgil,
Ray Simmons playing Bo Decker
and Laura Lynch playing Cherie.
The different crews which have
worked to make the show a suc
cess, include the following people:
Lights -— Don Reynolds, Newton
Calvin, Alvin Donbart and Gerald
Schultze; Sets — Jim Boone, Ed
Solymlosy, A1 Foreman, Grady 1
Sight and Elray Gerry; Script —
Joe Lee and Mary Rutledge; Pub
licity — Joe Chandler and Jerry
Henson.
Dorothy Dashwood is the stage
manager and Corky Couvillon as
sistant stage manager.
The show will be presented in
the round, all acts taking place in
the same setting. It is to be played
in the lower level of the Memori
al Student Center, and this is the
first time that an attempt has
been made to use this space for
acting.
Tickets for the show are on sale
for 75 cents.
“Bus Stop” will be followed by
Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night” to
be presented during the Fine Arts
Festival during the beginning* of
the second semester. Casting for
this play took place last week,
and the parts have been assigned.
Rehearsal for “Twelfth Night”
will begin after the showing of
“Bus Stop” is over next week.
The Aggie players usually per
form two plays a year, although
according to C. K. Esten, producer
for the Players, plans have been
made to put on another one after
“Twelfth Night”, later on in the
year if possible.
Prof. Stevenson
Speaks at Meeting
Bob Stevenson, professor, Divi
sion of Business Administration,
discussed “The Use of Good Cost
Accounting System,” at a confer
ence for office managers of the
Associated General Contractors of
America in Austin Thursday.
Stevenson will also chair a panel
on cost accounting at a Saturday
session of the conference.

A big turnout for “Bus Stop” is
expected, and people coming to see
the play will get a taste of what
is in store for the coming year.
The new stage should add interest
to the play, said Esten, and the
play is well advanced toward being
ready for its opening night on
November 4.

Oliver explained to Dean of En
gineering Fred J. Benson, “can be
used to teach student engineers
the basic principles of converting
mechanical energy to electrical
energy and vice versa.”
“The machines will assist the
new science-oriented trends in
electrical engineering education.
The units are versatile enough to
represent most forms of electrical
and a specialized rotating device
that can be operated either as a
motor ^ or a generator on alternat
ing current or “dc”.
With all this apparatus working
on a single shaft, the specialized
unit can be operated as a gene
rator driven by the two motors.
Used as a motor, it can drive the
rest of the equipment, including
the two “dc” motors.
well as the dynamic characteris
tics of converting mechanical en
ergy to electrical or converting
electrical energy to mechanical.”
Oliver, a member of the A&M
class of 1941, holds the bachelor
of science degree in electrical en
gineering. He was accompanied to
A&M for the presentation by R.
L. Holder, sales engineer for West
inghouse at Houston.
