TV visits the Ring Dance ‘Campus USA’ Crew Continues Filming The pilot film for a new tele vision series tentatively scheduled for next fall is now in its second day of filming here. The technical crew for “Campus USA” began shooting yesterday and is to finish late tomorrow. On tap for tonight is a yell practice by the Corps of Cadets and a demonstration by A&M fencers and gymnasts. The yell practice is set for 7:10 p.m. in G. Sollie White Coliseum. Tomorrow the show’s cameras frill take in an Aggie rodeo, stu dent talent acta, the Singing Cadets, the Freshman Drill Team and a Corps pass-by. Students are invited to observe the actual filming of sequences and participate in group and audi ence scenes. Various pieces of sound and photography equipment vill be available for inspection by students when filming is not in progress. Peter Palmer (L’ll Abner from the Broadway stage show) is the narrator for the show. Alan Neu man is producer for the series. Last night filming began with Charles Marshall, winner of this year’s Intercollegiate Talent Show, and the Aggieland Orchestra in front of the cameras. Also shot last night were scenes from the “Senior Ring Dance,” with couples who will actually at tend the real dance Saturday night. The mock dance was complete with giant ring. Glenda Fagan was fea tured as vocalist at the filming. This morning shooting started with the Six Peppers, a Latin American combo, in the patio area of the Memorial Student Center. Dave Woodard, magician-comedian, performed in the main lounge of the MSC. An audience was re cruited from persons in the MSC at the time. Early this afternoon a “married student’s picnic” was held in the grove of trees across from White Coliseum. Shots of the Data Processing- Center, the Nuclear Reactor Center and agricultural equipment will be taken for use in the film also. Neuman visited the campus earlier this month to determine the possibilities of using A&M as the subject for the first, or pilot, film. In his preview of the school he observed a pass-by and heard the Singing Cadets. The pilot film will be used to show to prospective sponsors and will be the first program in the series. A&M was the only school in the southwest to be considered for the program. Campus USA camera comes to A&M Poker Case Jury Hung, Lawyer Jailed BEEVILLE, Tex. (AP)—A dead locked jury was discharged Tues day in a South Texas poker game robbery case. The defense lawyer was jailed for contempt of court. The jurors reported they stood 10-2 for freeing Carroll Strickland on charges of shooting tear gas into the den of the Peewee Sug- arek ranch home March 2 and tak ing between $26,00 and $60,000 at gunpoint. Defense Attorney Neal Dancer piled up a total of $925 in fines and 27 days in jail for contempt of court during the trial. Dist. Judge John H. Miller sent him to jail after discharging the jury. The judge ordered a mistrial and transferred the case to George- i town. Dancer immediately appealed the i judge’s ruling to the State Court of Criminal Appeals through the Austin law firm of Coffey and Riddle. Strickland testified he sat in on the game, lost $100 and was en route home with a woman com panion at the time of the robbery. He was arrested next day at his home in Mesquite, Tex. During the trial none of the vic tims was able to identify Strick land as one of the three men who staged the robbery. Chief Of Naval Operations To Be Named 'WASHINGTON ) — Navy speculation about who will be tap ped as the new chief of naval op erations focused today on Vice Adm. George W. Anderson Jr., dy namic commander of the 6th Fleet in the Mediterranean. The White House is expected to act soon to nominate a replace ment for Adm. Arleigh A. Burke, whose third two-year term as CNO expires Aug. 1. Speculation also centered on Adm. James S. Russell, Burke’s second in command, and Vice Adm. John T. Hayward, the Navy de velopment chief. Another possibility is Adm. Har ry D. Felt, peppery commander of the 7th Fleet and chief of all U.S. military and naval operations in the pacific. But with Southeast Asia, and now Korea, in crisis, it was thought Felt would be left where he is. Some Navy sources said the “smart money” was on Anderson, 54, a tall handsome aviator who, since the fall of 1959, has direc ted the powerful fleet units pa trolling waters near the volatile Middle East. Brooklyn-born Anderson has been a career officer for nearly 34 years. An Annapolis product, he is described as an athletic type, about 6 feet 2 with piercing blue eyes and iron-gray hair. Some of Anderson’s former as sociates said he long has been marked for big things—they note he became a vice admiral at 50, one of the youngest men to reach three-star Navy rank. An officer of another service who worked under Anderson when the admiral was a top man on the joint staff in the Pacific some years ago called Anderson “ter rifically knowledgeable” and a fine leader. “Even though we may have dis agreed with him,” this officer said, ‘we couldn’t help but admire the way he made his decisions.” Although Russell and Hayward hold top posts at Navy headquar ters here, this would not neces sarily give them any advantage over Anderson. In fact, the postwar record in dicates otherwise. Every chief of naval operations since World War II has been chosen from a fleet or foi'eign ommand. Burke was destroyer command er of the Atlantic Fleet when he was elevated to chief of naval op erations in 1955. The top possibilities are in the same age bracket. Anderson is 54, Hayward 52, Russell 58, and Felt nearing 59. Sr. Ring Dance Plans Disclosed Annual Dance Slated Saturday With an outstanding banquet speaker and versatile dance band, the annual Senior Ring Dance and Banquet will be held this Saturday evening in Duncan and Sbisa Dining Halls starting at 6 p. m. First on the agenda is the banquet in Duncan Hall, which will feature Col. Henry Dittman, United States Air Force, as guest speaker. Col. Dittman is presently stationed in Paris, France. The dance, slated for 8 p. m., will feature Buddy Morrow and his “Night Train” orchestra which has become popular over the past ten years for such songs as “Mint Julep” and other popular numbers. Noted as one of the inost' f_ versatile bands in the coun try, the Morrow group is famous for wide audience ap peal. This includes college proms, country clubs, elegant ho tel engag-ements and two-hour jazz concerts for non-dancing audiences. Beginning at 8:30 p.m., sen- iors’ pictures will be taken in two giant replicas of the Senior Ring, and because of time limitations, these pictures will be unposed, ac cording to Bobby Burnside, chair man of the Ring Ceremonies Com mittee. Burnside said the senior being photographed should have his date take his ring off well before en tering the ring. As they step into the ring, the girl should put Banquet tickets will go off sale Thursday at 5 p. m., and none will be sold after this time, according to W. D. Hardesty, Director of Student Affairs. Un til that time, they will be avail able at the Cashier’s Window in the Memorial Student Center. the ring on his hand with the ’61 away from the wrist. The photog raphers will take an unposed shot as the girl puts the ring on her date’s finger. The number and color of the ticket will determine the time and place the picture will be taken. Those with the green tickets will go to Ring A and those with white tickets to Ring B. Ring A starts at number 1 and goes through 500, and Ring B starts with 501. Two juniors will be on hand to answer any last minute questions. Pictures may be picked up in the Cashier’s Cage, Memorial Stu dent Center, before May 27. According to Tom Reid, treas urer of the Class of ’61, both pic ture and dance tickets can be bought at the door. Tanzer To Work On NSF Project Three students, one of them from A&M, have been selected to participate in an undergraduate re search program in anatomy on a grant from the National Science Foundation. The students are Ernest Tanzer, senior science major from College Station; George Pessoney of Sam Houston State College at Hunts ville, and Jimmy Darnell of La mar State College in Beaumont. Their research will be under the direction of Dr. Richard J. Bald- auf, associate professor in the A&M Department of Wildlife Man agement. The Foundation approved the re search for the summers of 1961 and 1962, during which time the students will study the cranial anatomy of several selected frogs of the family Leptodactylidae, in cluding some forms from Aus- ti-alia. During the summer of 1960, Baldauf initiated an undergrad uate research participation pro gram at A&M with a grant from the NSF. During that period, three A&M undergraduates studied the cranial morphology of the tropical frog Engystomops postu- losus. A manuscript of the re search findings is being prepared for publication. Tanzer, who also was included in the 1960 program, will begin graduate studies at A&M this fall. His research will be under the di rection of Baldauf and is conceit ed with the ci’anial anatomy of leptodactylid frogs. Baldauf said students chosen for the research program will be re quired to prepare serial sections of tissues and to present an illus trated description of the cranial anatomy of the species studied. The work, a continuation of re searches carried on by Dr. Baldauf for the past 10 years, is the only research in this field throughout the nation. The scientist said the work will contribute to a better understand ing of the evolution and relation ship of these amphibians. C. E. Awards Presented At Social The J. T. L.

LP>-_Van- derbilt's students have . been warned that if they take pills to pep them up during examina tions and the pills backfire, it’s the student’s tough luck. -John L. Bingham, assistant dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, said Wednesday any student who disables himself through the use of antisleep pills shaU not be allowed to take a make-up examination. Bingham said he intended his warning to be “a little humor ous, but I wanted, too, to let them know they can’t take ex aminations lightly.” He said it didn’t apply to many students. Korean Junta Forces Chang To Resign SEOUL, Korea > — Premier John M. Chang resigned Thursday in favor of the military junta that seized conti’ol of Seoul two days ago. It was the second South Ko rean government toppled by rev olution in 13 months. Chang emerged from hiding and bow r ed to the military takeover after heads of the South Korean army, navy, air force and marines thx'ew their support behind the rebel group headed by Lt. Gen. Chang - Do-young - , the aimy chief of staff. The juntas control was bolster ed by a demonstration in Seoul by 1,000 military academy cadets in which 20,000 or more civilians joined. Seo»I radio broadcast a tape-re corded resignation statement in Premier Chang’s own voice while he and eight of the 15 members of his cabinet were meeting in the national capitol with the junta leaders. Chang, missing since the px - e- dawn coup in Seoul Tuesday, was driven to the national capitol with an escort of soldiex - s after a meet ing at the U. S. Embassy with U. S. Charge d’Affaires Marshall Green. Green and Lt. Gen. Cax - ter B. Magruder, the top U. S. military commander in Korea, had pre viously called on the coup lead ers to retux-n control to Chang’s elected parliamentai'y government. But Washington did not back them up, and presumably Green coun seled Chang to bow to the inevi table. Support for the military junta was mounting.
