(AP Wirephoto) Esten Elected Head Of Texas Educational Theater Group SENATE (Continued from Page 1) ident by student vote and lists his duties. Another main item of business discussed Thursday was a plan to begin regular Sunday chapel serv ices in the All-Faiths Chapel. Jim Carnes, representing the Interfaith Council, presented the idea to the senators and will receive a deci sion at the next regularly sched uled meeting, Mar. 1. Carnes’ idea called for regular services by and for students. He proposed letting dormitories or ganize programs on a rotation ba sis, with the commanding officers and dorm presidents in charge. He proposed short services, ear ly enough not to conflict with reg ular services in the local area. In other business Joyce reported tha trash cans had been ordered for Corps dormitories, and Hall appointed the Issues and Student Life committees to coordinate plans for 12th Man Bowl and Mo ther’s Day, respectively. HOW YOU CAN A NUCLEAR WAR! 9 out of 10 people can live through a nuclear attack, says scientist Edward Teller. But there’ll have to be plenty of warning — and plenty of shelter. In this week’s Post, he maps out a 4-point plan for sur vival. Tells how you should stock the ideal shelter. And which people stand the best chance of survival. T'fie Saturday Evening POST 1 • fEBRUARY 17 ISSUE NOW ON SALE* C. K. Esten, producer of the Aggie Players and assistant pro fessor in the Department of Eng lish, has been elected president of the Texas Educational Theater Association, an organization hav ing between 35-40 member col leges and universities in the state. Esten’s term will be for two years during which he will super vise the association’s largest scheduled project, a state drama festival, to be held in the spring of 1963. Location for the festival has not yet been determined. A peculitrity concerning Esten’s election as president is the fact that A&M is the only school in the organization which does not offer a program of study in the ater and drama. At A&M, Esten has worked with the Aggie Players, campus drama organization, since 1950. During this time, the Players have grown to over 40 members this year. The thespians have continuously provided good theater productions each year. The annual number of staged performances is usually between three and four. Having joined the association in 1951, one year after it was founded, Esten served as secre tary-treasurer in 1956-58.

Ander son’s third book, “L ouisiana Swamp Doctor,” will be on sale throughout the country beginning this week. The book is a biography of the life and an edition of writings of Henry Clay Lewis, known to de votees of frontier humor under the pen name of Madison Tensas, M.D., the Louisiana Swamp Doc tor. Lewis, a young physician in the late 1840’s, hid behind the pseudo nym of Tensas and the appearance of an elderly doctor as he wrote and sketched of his own and others’ foibles. His work, em ploying comic realism, dialect and exaggeratiory appeared in the well-known New York weekly pa per, “Spirit of the Times.” Lewis eventually compiled his writing and sketches into a book in 1850, called “Odd leaves from the Life of a Louisiana Swamp Doctor.” Only a few close friends knew the real identity of the au thor. He was drowned later that year, at the age of 25. Anderson first became interested in Lewis while he was teaching in Louisiana. He was asked to write an article concerning liter ature in Louisiana for a new scholarly journal, and thus began a search for a man without a face, a writer without a real name, a popular unknow<n. “I remembered vaguely reading this book by Tensas,” Anderson said concerning his first interest in Lewis. “His real identity was, of course, unknown. During this same period of time, there were 10 men who were considered the best writers of frontier humor, and Tensas was one of them. He was the only one of the 10 about whom practically nothing was known. I set myself the goal of discovering just who Tensas really was.- “When I set out to solve the mystery of the Louisiana Swamp Doctor,” Anderson noted, “I never imagined that I was on the trail of a lusty young man rather than an elderly physician, so deceptive was the pose that ‘Tensas’ main tained in his sketches. “Samuel Clemmons, better known as Mark Twain, actually was highly influenced by these frontier humorists of the Jack sonian. period as a boy, in his job as a typesetter,” Anderson added. Research on the book took a total of three years, sandwiched during and between his teaching. Most of the investigation was car ried on in northeastern Louisiana, though some evidence took him as far as northern Mississippi. The majority of his information was in the form of court records, state archives and newspaper files. “However,” Andersn said, “there were a number of people who re membered hearing of Tensas. Much of the personal information was local tradition, and wasn’t very profitable. But I had to check every lead anyway. One old woman actually did supply a very valuable account of how Lewis appeared on a certain occa sion, that a friend had described to her.” After the research came the te dious job of separating the truth from the legend, the useful from the useless. Then followed the writing and rewriting. The first manuscript was submitted in 1956. Then followed more revisions at the suggestions of the publisher. The final draft was finished in 1958. j flVB * ■ ■ ri 1 Him MU ri 0 W i ■ “Sports Car Center” J Dealers for Renault-Peugeot ; : & : British Motor Cars I ■ ■ Sales—Parts—Service \ |;“We Service All Foreign Cars”*; 111416 Texas Ave. TA 2-4517; SPACE, MISSILE & JET PROJECTS AT DOUGLAS have created outstanding career opportunities for SCIENTISTS and ENGINEERS B.S. degrees or better Assignments include the following areas: Servo-Meelidnisms—relating to all types of control problems Electronic Systems—relating to all types of guidance, detection, control and communications Propulsion —relating to fluid- mechanics, thermodynamics, dynamics, internal aerodynamics Environmental —relating to air conditioning, pressurization and oxygen systems Human Factors —analysis of environment affecting pilot and space crews, design of cockpit con soles, instrument panels and pilot equipment Heat Transfer—relating to mis sile and space vehicle structures Structures —relating to cyclic loads, temperature effects, and the investigation of new materials, methods, products, etc. Aerodynamics—relating to wind tunnel, research, stability and control Solid State Physics—relating to metal surfaces and fatigue Space vehicle and weapon system studies—of all types, involving a vast range of scientific and engineering skills — Get full information at INDIVIDUAL ON CAMPUS INTERVIEWS with a Douglas representative MONDAY, FEBRUARY 19 & TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 20 We urge you to make an appointment through W.
