United Chest Heads Slate First Reports College Station United Chest captains and solicitors are to make their first report Friday between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. in the Electrical Engineering Building, according to K. L. Manning, Campaign Com mittee chairman. Funds collected at that time will be submitted to John Denison, associate professor of engineering. Manning said that the goal for collections during the drive is $7,000 by Sunday, $12,000 by Nov. 10, and $16,000 by Nov. 15. He announced the goals at a “kick-off” breakfast for campaign workers Tuesday. In 1960 the total of collections reached $6,000 by Nov. 5, and $9,000 by Nov. 8. Dr. John C. Calhoun Jr., vice- chancellor for development of the A&M System, is general chairman of the United Chest this year. College Station residents have shown great interest in the drive this year and in recent years. Members of the committee have hopes of exceeding all past records. Dr. James Wood . . . chapel speaker A&M Debate Club Sets Activities Highlight of the current sea son for the A&M Debate Club will be a television appearance, and members will attend about seven tournaments before the end of the school year. Six of the men who were on the team last year are among approxi mately 35 active members in the club. This weekend the teams are going to TCU for their first tour nament of the season. The sched ule will include a visit to most of the Southwest Conference schools, and a television debate sponsored by Sinclair Refining Co. in March, 1962. The club meets every Monday in the Birch Room of the MSC at 8 p.m. Cinemascope Screen Goes Up Sn Guion Engineers are in College Sta tion this week installing a revolu tionary new screen in the Guion Hall Theater. The new type of Cinemascope screen will be one of the first 10 installed in movie houses in the United States. The screen is called “linticular,” and does not have a smooth sur face; it is composed of millions of tiny, curved indentations which focus the light from the projector and provide an increased bright ness of approximately 25 per cent over previous screens. Civilians Sought For Bonfire Work Any civilian students wishing to work on the bonfire have until Friday to contact their dorm presidents and sign up, accord ing to Gene Anderson, Civilian Yell Leader and coordinator to the bonfire committee. Civilians will elect crew lead ers from each dorm, so they will be able to begin work Nov. 18 while the Corps of Cadets is in Houston for the Rice Corps trip. The cadets will journey back to College Station in order to get to work on the annual blaze by Nov. 19. Anderson said that civilians were also needed to guard the center pole the nights of Nov. 17 and 18. Recently installed at Radio City Music Hall in New York, the in novation shows signs of eventu ally replacing all existing screens now' in use by theaters across the country. Joe Easley, Guion Hall director, said considerable research went into selecting the screen for Guion Hall. Easley was in New York during the summer and talked with technicians at Music Hall; at the same time, Tommy Cadle, employee of Guion Hall, talked to experts in Hollywood concern ing the screen. “From these trips and inspec tions, it was decided that this screen was the best we could pos sibly buy,” said Easley. Bids for the screen were taken in August, and a contract was awarded the Hardin Theater Sup ply Company of Dallas. Approxi mate cost of the new screen is over $1,000. Size of the screen will be in creased considerably, with dimen sions of 18 by 37 feet, making it one of the largest in this part of the state. Easley said this is the first part of an expansion and remodeling program begun last year at Guion Hall, and the screen will be up in time for showing of “The Alamo” this weekend. The program has included a complete overhauling and modern ization of the projection booth in the theater, installation of new projdttion equipment, and it is hoped the program will extend eventually to a complete inside and out remodeling of the build ing. The Memorial Student Center architects have prepared a pro posed modernization plan for the building which will cost approxi mately $50,000. The College has recently approved a similar am ount in this year’s fiscal budget for the modernization of the build ing. However, no definite plans have been made at present regarding the extent of the work, according to Easley. Last year, Guion Hall enjoyed one of its most successful sea sons in the past 20 years. The showing days per week were cut from seven to three, and an effort has consistently been made to up grade the level of motion pictures shown, said Easley. “As a result of this effort, Guion Hall has prospered as a theater,” said the manager. Movies to be shown in Guion Hall this year will include “Come September,” “Guns of Navar- rone,” “Exodus,” “The Devil at Four O’Clock,” “Ada,” and “Spar- ticus.” First Brigade Leads Returns The current Campus Chest drive will be extended until Monday because of a slight la^ in collections, said Johnny Anthis, in charge of the campaign and chairman of the wel fare committee of the Student Senate. Anthis also said the First Brigade is leading in the drive according to the number of 100 percent components and total funds collected. The First Wing is next, followed by the Third Brigade and the Band. The Second Wing has a slight edge over the Second Brigade, which is in last spot. Anthis said that there have been no 100 percent Civilian housing units, yet. Tncomnlete totals Wednes- day night showed about $600 in the pot so f»r toward the $7,000 goal. Slogan for the drive is “A dollar from an Ageie, for an Aggie.” The 100 per cen* outfits are Comoanv D-l, Sonadron 6. 1st Battle Group Staff, ’^th Battle Group Staff and Corns Staff. Each received a scroll attesting to its donation. In the race for the bronze plaoue, which is to be awarded to the unit with the highest dona tion per man. Squadron 6 leads D-l by slightly more than 25 cents. Anthis said that a lack of re sults from Civilian students has been attributed to dorm presidents not knowing who is authorized to accept money. “Funds should be turned in to the main cashier’s office in the Memorial Student Center, to Malcolm Hall, or to me,” said Anthis. Consistent feature of the fund has been the Aggie Chest, which is used to assist fellow students who suffer a tragedy of some sort, such as an accident, fire or neces sary operation. Special effort is made to in vestigate each case to assure the fact that the offer is needed and will not be offensive. During its nine years of history, the Camnus Chest has brought much-needed help to many hundreds of Aggies who would not have received it otherwise. Other agencies besides the chest benefit, also; 10 per cent goes to the Brazos County Tuber culosis Association; a second 10 per cent to the College Station Community Chest, and a third 10 per cent to the March of Dimes. The remaining 70 per cent is re tained in the Aggie Chest. Bulletin: Company C-2, com manded by Cecil Bailey, became the third 100 per cent Campus Chest unit today. C-2 is last year’s General Moore company.

(Photo by Johnny Herrin) Angry Men” to be played in the round on The Aggie Players’ first produc tion of the year, “Twelve Angry Men,” will open in Guion Hall Monday and will run through next Saturday. Starting at 8 p.m. each night, the play will be done in the round on Guion Hall’s stage. Achieving fame several years ag*o both as a television show and as a movie, “Twelve Angry Men” is a three act play set in the simple settings of a jury room. The story takes place in the heat of the summer. Theme of the production con cerns the jury hassle which occurs behind locked doors to decide the fate of a young teen-ager who is on trial for murder. The play will feature 13 men on stage, including 12 jurors and a guard. In the role of jury fore man will be David White with juror number two played by Joe Glover, juror number three by Bob Hipp and juror number four by David Jones. Don McGown is east as juror five, Niki Hagler, juror six; Larry Waggoner, juror seven; Harry Gooding, juror eight; and James Lewis, juror nine. Other players include Jerald Fletcher in the role of juror num ber ten, Jan Jones playing juror eleven, Bill Martin acting as juror twelve and Richie Askew handling the part of the guard. These thirteen men were chosen from the more than 40 persons who turned out for casting of the play in late September. C. K. Esten, producer for the players, is directing the play aided by Stanley Couvillon, stage man ager. Couvillon and Charles Hearn will handle the lights during each performance. Hearn and Bob Ramsey are re sponsible for the play’s sets. House managers are Don Malcolm and Regie Lundergan, with Britt Jones and Kate James assisting the director. Backstage, design and set crews have been actively at work for over a month preparing stage props, lighting arrangements and other necessary material. The players casted for the pro duction have been hard at work rehearsing three times a week since September in preparation for Monday’s opening night. Work is already being done by the Aggie Players on a second effort of "the year, “Candida,” writ ten by George Bernard Shaw in 1894 and performed in New York City in 1903. The story of the play revolves about the comedy marriage of a solialistic British clergyman and “the eternal triangle” in which he finds himself involved. Directed by Vic Wiening, the play calls for two women and four men and takes place in London about the turn of the century. “Candida” will be presented in December and will act as a follow up to two Shaw plays which were presented last spring. Both were one-acts and, like “Candida,” were directed by Weining. The show was entitled “A Night With George Bernard Shaw” and featured “Man of Destiny” and “How He Lied to Her Husband,” two other comedies written by the English playwright. An additional number of plays are scheduled to be presented by the Aggie Players in the spring. The- plays to be done have not yet been announced. Out On A Ledge Company G-l Senior La tham Boone found himself “out on a ledge” Friday, courtesy of some of his “buddies.” The ledge runs around the second floor windows of Nagle Hall. Boone, a history major from Navasota, was out side looking in for about 20 minutes. That’s all we know—his purpose for be ing on the ledge was never explained. (Photo by Jerry Cooper)
