This is the first time that deco-
rations will disguise the Dining
hall in such extravagance. Five
thousand feet of black and gold
crepe paper will cover the ceiling
and create a night club effect as
the blue theatrical gelatin-covered
lights shine through it. Curtains
along the north wall will be alter-
nately lighted in red and blue. On
the east end of the hall, a sus-
pended rotating mirrored ball will
reflect an array of colors over
the dancing area. The band will
be situated on the opposite side
on a two-level stage, with a Mis-
sissippi river boat scene as a back-
drop, illuminated by two large
floor spot lights with changing
light beams.
The music will be furnished by
Dave Williams and the "Kryst-
als.” This six-piece combo, con-
sisting of trumpet, drums, elec-
trie guitar, tenor sax, piano and
bass accompanied by two vocal-
ists should be enough to tingle
your bones with the "blues.”
Alcoholic beverages will also be
served. The drinks will be “Hurri-
canes,” which are mixtures of
rum and fruit punch and are like
those served at Pat O’Brien’s
night club in New Orleans.
Since this is a masquerade ball,
all will be' required to wear some
type of costume. A first, second
and third prize will be awarded
for the best costume to both boys
and girls separately. The prizes
will be $5, $3 and $1, respectively.
Invitations will be sent out to
each faculty member this week.
Only a limited number of bids—
at $2.50 a couple—are available,
and they are going fast. If you
have a date in San Antonio and
are without transportation, K of C
members who have cars will drive
down and bring her here safely
for you.
A lot of planning has gone into
making “A Night in New Orleans”
a gala affair which promises to
be most entertaining.
In its successful venture to
bring vintage films of current in-
terest to the campus, the Hilltop
film festival presents The Ugly
American on Friday night, No-
vember 13.
Arthur Knight, reviewing for
the Saturday Review, finds that,
‘the film has boldness of theme
to commend it.” However, he only
wishes “that a similar boldness
might have extended to its execu-
tion.”
An adaptation from the Bur-
dick-Wheeler novel of the same
name, the movie deals with the
events surrounding the appoint
ment of a new ambassador to an
East Asian country. Marlon Bran-
do plays the role of Anthony Mac-
White, the new ambassador, with
much success. Commonweal says
that “Brando by no means makes
him another angry, torn T-shirt
rebel. He is an American of high
ideals, angry at complacent and
sloppy thinking; like other men
he is stubborn, humorous, com-
passionate — and sometimes
wrong.”

If you haven’t any plans as of
yet for November 21, then hold
on until you’ve heard what’s
being planned by the Knights of
Columbus and the Illini club for
that Saturday evening.
By Mike Dow
In the spirit of ecumenicity, the
first of a series of interfaith dis-
cussions between Catholic and
Episcopal college students took
place on November 1 at the
Episcopal student center here in
Austin. The discussions are part
of an ecumencial dialogue which
is sponsored by the Episcopal stu-
The Dining hall will be reserved
exclusively for dancing, while
small cafe tables covered with
red-checked table cloths and soft-
ly lit candles will fill the lobby.
This type of setup will avoid
confusion on the dance floor. The
band will be seen from the dance
floor and the lobby for both danc-
ing and listening pleasure.
The St. Edward’s students in-
volved in the dialogue have a cer-
tain amount of required and elec-
tive reading to do before the next
dialogue, which will be held this
coming Sunday in the Newman
center at the University of Texas.
The subject to be discussed is
“Protestant Participation At The
Ecumenical Council.”
Eucharist Discussed
The November 1 meeting of
about 30 Catholic and Episcopal
students dealt with the topic of
the Eucharist. Father Pryor, OP,
instructor in theology at St. Ed-
ward’s and moderator of the
group of students from St. Ed-
ward’s participating in the dia-
logue, and Reverend Lawrence
Brown, vice dean of an Episcopal
seminary in Austin, began the
meeting by addressing the as-
sembled students on different
aspects of the Eucharist, stressing
the symbolism involved in the
Eucharist. After the general ad-
dress, the students broke up into
five small groups to discuss the
Eucharist in the light of what
Father Pryor and Reverend
Brown had said.
The benefits of this first dia-
logue between the students were
pretty slim, discussion-wise. A
lot of the difficulties undoubted-
ly stemmed from the fact that
this was the first time that most
of the students ever participated
in an ecumenical discussion. The
first dialogue paved the way for
further discussion, however, and
gave the students the chance to
get acquainted with each other.

campus with different college
identities—those of both the men’s
and women’s colleges.
St. Edward’s has a men’s college
at one end of its campus, a par-
tially developed central area and
land for a women’s college east
of the central area. Duke uni-
versity had both the men’s and
the women’s colleges already built,
but separated.
The firm of Caudill, Rowlett,
and Scott, which has been in
existence since 1946, has worked
on over 350 projects in fifteen
states and two foreign countries.
One of the largest projects in
their history as consulting engi-
neers is now under construction
in Houston. It is the Jesse H.
Jones Hall for the Performing
Arts, the future home of the
Houston Symphony orchestra, a
six million dollar project. This
firm has received awards both
on the national and the state
levels for its work.
Brother Raymond feels that
the new master plan will be a
major step in the physical and
educational growth of St. Ed-
ward’s.
Academy Visits
Tracor Plant
This afternoon the Science
academy visited Tracor, an indus-
trial research company, for its
first field trip of the academic
year.
Organized by Larry Maurer,
senior chemistry major from
Evansville, Indiana, acting presi-
dent, the tour centered around the
main concern of Tracor: the re-
search and development of indus-
trial products.
The fifteen members who vis-
ited the laboratories had a chance
to talk with people doing research
and to see the equipment they
were using. They were shown how
a product was developed from a
mathematical model down through
the finished product.
One of the highlights of the
tour was the computer center
demonstration. Tracor has two
computers—one for scientific pro-
gramming and one for handling
business problems.
At the close of the tour, Dr.
Gus Wittenborn, vice-president,
gave a short talk on "What in-
dustry wants in a scientist to-
day.”
Brother Raymond Fleck, CSC,
President of St. Edward’s, has
met with officials of Caudill,
Rowlett, and Scott, consulting en-
gineers of Houston, Texas, who
have agreed to draw up a new
master plan for St. Edward’s uni-
versity. This new plan, which is
scheduled to be ready in four
months, will include the facilities
to be built for a co-ordinate col-
lege.
The Houston firm drew up such
a plan for Duke university. The
major goals of the Duke program
were unity and identity. At Duke,
there were three undergraduate
colleges, Trinity college, Woman’s
college, and Engineering college,
all separated by land not owned
by the university. The problem of
unifying these colleges into one
campus and, at the same time,
maintaining and reinforcing the
identities of all traditional under-
graduate colleges was successful-
ly solved.
St. Edward’s is faced with a
problem that is, in some respects,
similar to Duke university’s.
Basically, the problem is the
same: to establish one university
The movie ends in deep irony.
lacWhite makes “an impassioned
lea to his fellow Americans to
vake up to the realities of this
rorld and shake off the indiffer-
nce that has made our country,
n the eyes of too many people,
ugly.’ ” The man in the chair
watching on TV flicks the button
off.

The film is one of several re-
cent productions which use a
name actor to finance at the box
office a serious discussion of a
serious topic. The movie "... is
concerned with the blind accept-
ance of doctrine, with ideologies
that block the communication of
ideas on any human personal
level.”
Knight says that “. . . director
Englund is successful in putting
over the points that the United
States must remember its own
revolution and that its people
nust know what they’re for as
veil as what they’re against—es-
ecially in the long periods of a
old war.”
