Staff Meeting Set
President Earl Rudder has
called a meeting of the college
faculty and staff in Guion Hall
this Wednesday at 4 p.m.
Rudder said it was not neces
sary for the clerical staff to he
present at the meeting.
With the responsibility of rais
ing the standards of taste and style
in a community, architects have a
unique and special opportunity,
said Stanley Marcus of Dallas
speaking to the A&M Division of
Architecture faculty and students
last night.
The Dallas business leader asked
members of the audience if they
w'ere prepared to lead the profes
sion of architecture by adhering to
standards of fitness, symmetry
and beauty, or to merely produce
standard plans that result “in an
endless series of boring, stereo
typed houses?”
Active Duty Crabs
2 A&M Students
Charles L. Derrick, junior busi
ness administration major from
Gatesville, and Mickey D. Mohr,
sophomore business administration
major from Houston, have been
called to active duty with the 49th
Armored Division at Fort Polk, La.
Derrick was a married day stu
dent living in Bryan and Mohr
lived in Mitchell Hall. Both men
were attending school on the GI
Bill.
This brings the number of men
called to active duty from A&M
to 47 since the beginning of the
semester.
The Industrial Education De
partment will exhibit a safe-driv
ing display beginning Monday in
the Memorial Student Center.
The display was built by David
Lorms in a visual aids course for
industrial subjects. The pictures
for the display are provided by
the Texas Department of Public
Safety.
Illustrating four of the most
common causes of accidents, the
display, listed by the Department
of Public Safety in its 1962 High
way Safety Action Program as
racing, drinking while driving,
falling asleep while driving and
speeding.
Declaring that the taste of the
general public is much better than
most manufacturers seem to think,
Marcus stated that “the public is
given fewer and fewer opportuni
ties to choose between ‘good’ and
the ‘bad’. Most of the time they
have to choose between the ‘bad’
and the ‘even worse’.”
He told the students that “as
prospective architects you will un
questionably wrestle with the prob
lems of taste” in various situations
and in “upgi’ading the standai'ds
of taste standards of your com
munity and your clients.”
“Will you let money destroy
your ideals or will you stand by
pi-inciple?” he asked. “You too
must educate your clients. You
must help to elevate their tastes
by showing them some good ex
amples. You must exercise leader
ship to help them attain something
better than they really started out
wanting.
“This takes courage but if it can
be done in retailing, it can also
be done in architecture,” Marcus
declared.
He noted that architecture is a
great profession with limitless op
portunities and definite social re
sponsibilities, adding:
“You can build up a more beau
tiful America, you can uplift the
tastes of your country and your
clients—if you will!”
Marcus, who is president of the
Neiman-Marcus organizations in
Dallas and Houston, was visiting
the campus for the first time. In
addition to holding memberships in
many national and civic organiza
tions, he is chairman of the Visit
ing Committee for the School of
Design at Harvard University.
He also holds an honorary mem
bership in the Dallas chapter of
the American Institute of Archi
tects.
Vote On Issue
To Come Nov. 16
Student Senate representation on the MSC Council drew
a lengthy debate last night at a regular meeting of the
Senate.
MSC Council Representative James Ray asked the Senate
for a representative to the council, which consists of two
former students, five faculty members and currently seven
students.
The eighth student, as called for in the Council’s con
stitution, would give the customary student majority on the
Council.
Senate President Malcolm Hall said that the represen
tative is not allocated in the Senate consitution, even though
the Council send a represen- 4 "
tative to the Senate.
In the past the Senate has
been sending a representative
to the Council.

ers’ first production of the year,
“Twelve Angry Men.”
Starting at 8 p.m., the show will
be performed “in the round” with

Dynamic theme of the produc
tion is the task facing the jurors

a teenager on trial for murder.
The play is in three acts, each
centered about the jury table.
Achieving fame several years
ago as a television show, the pro
duction has been made into a
movie. Its A&M production is
directed by C. K. Esten, Aggie
Players producer.
The play will feature 13 actors,
including 12 jurors and a judge.

be David White with juror number
two played by Joe Glover, juror
number three by Bob Hipp and
juror number four by David Jones.

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 10, Jan Jones playing juror
11, Bill Martin acting as juror 12
and Richie Askew as guard.
N. S. F. Reps
To Discuss
Conversion
Dr. Fernand de Percin and Dr.
A. Richard Kassander of the Na
tional Science Foundation will be
on campus Monday to discuss with
the oceanography and meteorology
staff plans for contributing $50,000
of $107,000 needed to convert Biz-
zell Hall to research facilities.
According* to Dick Adams, chief
scientist for the Oceanography De
partment, the plans call for re
wiring and new plumbing for both
the east and west wings. The east
wiag will be converted into labora
tories with new lab equipment and
furniture. The west wing will be
used primarily for office space.
“If things go according to plane
we should be using - the new facili
ties by the end of January, 1962,”
Adams said.
Senators defeated a move to
have the problem placed on last
night’s agenda, but the matter
will be brought to a -vote at the
next Senate meeting, Nov. 16.
