The categories of the contest are scenery, portraits, action, and hu- man interest and design. The hu- man interest and design category will include picture stories and photographic effects. In addition to the four categori- cal awards, a sweepstakes award of $10 will be given the photographer whose overall efforts indicate him to be versatile, imaginative and capable.

Travel Committee Requests Return Of Display Books Due to an apparent misunder- standing on the part of some persons, 30 books and 58 pam- phlets are missing from the MSC Travel Committee’s display, which was set up in the MSC Fountain Room. Reggie Richardson, chairman of the committee, said the per- sons aparently thought the books could be removed from the fountain room and the pam- phlets kept. However, the com- mittee had borrowed the books and pamphlets from Cushing Memorial Library, and face a heavy expense if they are not re- turned. Richardson asked that if some- one had mistakenly picked up a pamphlet or book, he would ap- preciate the return of it to either the Student Program Of- fice in the MSC or to the second floor of Cushing Library. “We will appreciate this help, and are sorry if there was some misunderstanding about the books and pamphlets,” Richard- son said. Annual Awards Talks Highlight MSC Banquet James Ray officially took office as president of the Memorial Stu- dent Center Council last night at the annual council and directorate banquet held in the MSC Ball- room. Program for the evening fea- tured an exotic banquet meal, pre- sentation of various MSC distin- guished service, appreciation and special awards, the annual address by Michael M. Schneider, outgoing Council president, and the main address of the evening by Dr. Earl E. Harper, director of the Iowa Memorial Union, State University of Iowa. In his address, Harper sought to portray the full image of the College-university union, in its many areas of service and activity. The noted college union author- ity presented basic ideals that are common with all unions, to in- clude fostering personal fellow- ship between professors and stu- dents, and between students and other students. He explained the responsibility of the union to the university fam- ily, which includes even much more than students, faculty and adtnin- istration members, or others di- rectly associated wjth the educa- tional institution, but to the many guests visiting the “living room” of any campus as well. “Recreation is important, and there are many fine products of it. After one is relaxed, an es- sentiality for anyone, he is ready to tackle the job at hand with much more enthusiasm and ability. The union provides for this in a number of ways,” said Harper. “But if we are not careful, the union can easily become consid- ered a glorified fun palace and extended snack bar. Prof Sets Summer Study At Oak Ridge Jack M. Inglis of the Depart- ment of Wildlife Management will study the effects of radiation on man’s environment during a seven- week institute this summer at Oak Ridge, Tenn. Inglis is one of 20 college and university teachers chosen to learn how to evaluate the effects of ra- diation on plants and animals in nature. During the first phase of in- struction, Inglis will hear discus- sion to set the stage for the study, followed by field trips and field experiments. Later the professors will learn uses of radioisotopes and other new tools in teaching and conduct- ing research for a better under- standing of the impact of atomic energy on man’s environment. The last two weeks will involve independent research applying tech- niques learned with problems re- sulting from atomic waste dis- posal and fallout. Following the summer project, Inglis hopes to begin research in radiation ecology here. He point- ed out that further study is need- ed on effects of atomic waste dis- posal and fallout on plants and animals. “Little research has been done,” Inglis said, “regarding the effects of radiation in nature. Ecologists are about 50 years behind the physiologists in study of nuclear effects.” The Oak Ridge project is spon- sored by the National Science Foundation and the U. S. Atomic Energy Commission, in coopera- tion with the Ecological Society of America. Inglis emphasized that the very small quantities of radio active materials in nature are not dan- gerous and “no catastrophe is ex- pected tomorrow.” “But,” he added, “there is a need to understand the implications of releasing quantities of unnatural radio active materials into man’s environment. How, for example, will low doses of radiation affect man through his environment. What effect will it have upon plants and animals consumed by man. What use can be made of radioisotopes to study natural pro- cesses.” Drill Team Leaves For S. A. Fiesta The Fresmman Drill Team leaves Friday for the annual Fiesta Flambeau Parade in San Antonio to be held Saturday night. The crack freshmen, command- ed by Jack Schmid, ’65, are enter- ed against 18 drill teams from several states. The team will per- form its famous trademark, move- ment, the “Ripple,” at the parade reviewing stand, according to sponsor Capt. Calvin Reese. This will probably be the last trip of the year for the team, said Reese. The team has participated in competetions in Laredo and Baton Rouge earlier this lear, compiling an enviable record. Underwood Given Top R. A. Award Moore Banquet Speaker Clyde Moore, refuted as the world’s “greatest barber,” will join the “Debonaires” from Houston at Saturday night’s Junior Ball and Banquet in Sbisa Hall. Moore, from Hearne, will be the guest speaker, while the Deb- onaires will provide the music at the 9 p. m. dance. The banquet will begin at 6:30 p. m. in the annex to Sbisa Hall, with the dance scheduled at 9 in the main room. Tickets, at $1.50 per person for the banquet and $3 per couple for the dance, are now on sale at the cashier’s cage in the Memorial Stu- dent Center. They will also be sold at the door. An added highlight will be the presentation of the Junior Sweet- heart from five finalists. The finalists, and their escorts, are: Nancy Jean Craddock from Aus- tin, escorted by J. F.

No theme has yet been decided for the dance, according to Bras- hears. Warning Issued By County Attorney County attorney Brooks Gofer has requested that the citizens of the Bryan-College Station area be alerted to the fact that the Old Koppe Bridge is dangerous and has been condemned for vehicular traf- fic. According to Gofer, vandals have attempted to burn the timber left in the bridge, and have been guilty of “promiscuous” shooting of fire- arms in the general area of the bridge. Legal authorities have been alerted to arrest anyone engaging in such activities. Leonard E. Underwood, son of M. E. Underwood, 404 W. Com- merce, Brownwood, has been a- warded the Wall Street Journal Student Achievement Award as the outstanding business student. Underwood, who is a business partner with his father in the operation of Underwood’s Barbe- cue and cafeteria of Brownwood, was selected for the honor by a faculty committee of the Division of Business Administration. He has been a Distinguish- ed Student for six semesters. He will receive his B.B.A. degree in May. Underwood is married to the former Mary Jo Smith of Brown- wood. He is a 1958 graduate of Brownwood High School where he was the highest ranking boy sch- olastically in the graduating class. In high school he won the Math Award, was a Junior Rotarian, was voted the boy most likely to suc- ceed, and was a member of the National Honor Society. At A&M he is a member of Phi Kappa Phi, a national scholarship society made up of those in the top 10 per cent of their graduating class. He is a first lieutenant and scholarship officer for Company D-2. Receives Journal Award Leonard E.
