THE BATTALION Pape 4 College Station, Texas Friday, January 19, 1962 Renovation In Bizzell Hall Will Give New Labs, Offices Expansion and renovation of re search facilities in Bizzell Hall is moving along slightly behind schedule, Dick Adams, administra tive scientist for the Department of Oceanography and Meteorology, said yesterday. When expansion is complete, Oceanography and Meteorology will occupy four floors of Good win Hall (which they currently occupy) and the two wings of Biz zell, which are being converted to research laboratories and office space. CORRECTION Today, two members of the Ag gie Players, Bob Hipp and Sharon Prisk, presented a scene from Shakespeare’s “The Taming of the Shrew,” in the Memorial Student Center Ballroom before the A&M Women’s Social Clubi The Bat talion had previously reported the scene would be presented before the Aggie Wives Council. The $107,000 conversion of Biz zell Hall began early in September and will be complete some time in mid-March. “In addition to new laboratory equipment, we are adding more plumbing and power fixtures for use in the laboratories,” Adams said. Before conversion, Bizzell had only minimum power and plumb ing because it served as a dormi tory. Since its establishment in 1949, the Department of Oceanography and Meteorology has grown to an annual budget of slightly over 1 million dollars with 80 full-time and 60 part-time employees.

FITCH LEADING MAN’S SHAMPOO HOUSTON UP> — Howard B. Stickney received his 13th stay of execution Thursday just 10 hours before he was to have died in the electric chair at the Huntsville State Prison. Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas granted a temporary stay in Washington to give the full court time to study a new appeal by attorneys for the 23- year-old Houston man. Douglas signed his order as the State Pardons Board in Austin was studying a clemency plea. About six persons carrying signs I’eading “Stickney — Murderer or Victim” walked in front of the State Capitol as Bob Looney, a Austin attorney, made the plea. In Austin, Gov. Price Daniel stayed Stickney’s execution to Feb. 20 after learning of Doug las’ order. “The purpose of this stay of execution is to obviate the neces sity of having to later return Howard Stickney to the sentencing court for the purpose of having a new date set for his execution in the event the decision of the Unit ed States Supreme Court is un favorable to the condemned,” the C. S. Photogs Get Honors At Convention Two College Station men re ceived honors at the Texas Pro fessional Photographers Associa tion convention in San Antonio last Monday.

The stay was rou tine after the Supreme Court ac tion. Rep. Henry Fletcher of Luling also asked the State House of Representatives to call for a new trial for Stickney but withdrew the resolution without seeking a vote. Gov. Price Daniel earlier in the week had received a petition signed by about 600 persons, many of them University of Texas stu dents, asking that Stickney be granted clemency. Stickney, a former State High way Department employee in Houston, received the death sen tence Jan. 29, 1959, for the May 24, 1958, Galveston beach murder of Mrs. Shirley Elaine Barnes, 26, a Houston insurance secretary. The nude body of Mrs. Barnes, formerly of Madison, Wic., was found in her Houston apartment May 27, 1958.

Studio, display trophies won Monday at the Studebaker Boss Wins Postponement In Picket’s Charge SOUTH BEND, Ind. 0T>> — Sherwood H. Egbert, athletic president of the Studebaker-Pack- ard Corp. won a week’s delay Thursday on a charge of disorder ly conduct on a picket line. Gloyd Richai’ds, 40, a truck driver for the auto plant 21 years, swore out the complaint charging Egbert, 41, tried to pick a fight with pickets when they stopped his car Wednesday. He said the complaint was his own idea, not the United Auto Workers. Egbert neither appeared in City Court nor made any statement, but Vice President C. M. Macmil lan denied Egbert had challenged any pickets. Egbert, who stands 6-feet-4, is a former Washington State Uni versity track and basketball ath lete and served in World War II as a Marine Corps major in the South Pacific. All 6,500 Studebaker workers have been on strike since Jan. 2. Victoria Newsman On Mission To Collect Australian Camel NEW YORK UP> — A fellow from Texas galloped into New York Thursday on his way to Aus tralia to get a camel. Seems they’re kind of short on camels down in Texas. Reporter Jim Carter of the Vic toria, Texas, Advocate blew into New York carrying greetings from Vice President Lyndon B. John son, Gov. Price Daniel of Texas and other dignitaries—on a scroll made from Texas cowhide. Carter figured that while he was at it he might as well visit a good many countries between here and Australia and tell them all about Texas. The folks down Victoria way decided a while back to promote their region as a tourist attrac tion. One thing they lacked was a camel for their zoo. They scouted around and got an offer from a sheik in Kuwait. That deal blew up because of various government restrictions. Then came an offer from the governor of the state of Victoria in Aus tralia, a natural for Victoria, Texas. Carter is going to have to nurse maid the camel all the way back home by plane. A hometown vet erinarian gave him many point ers, all of them consisting of: “Be careful, camels bite.” Read Battalion OaMieds A. & R.
