THE THRESHER
Five
Periscoping
Mysterious
By DAVID GRADY
The Campanile has returned to
the fall delivery system and is
now distributing copies of the '61
edition in the Student Center.
To commemorate this happy
event, I have been asked to say
a few words in review of our
latest annual. I offer as qualifica-
tions for this important task my
vision (not correctable to 20/20,
but close, very close) and my ex-
perience (I have looked at lots
and lots of annuals).
TO BEGIN WITH the gray
side, the '62 Campanile seems to
me to be definitely lacking in
color. Covered in gray with a
strange little emblem proclaim-
The 'Gray' Campanile:
Mist Mesmerizes Many
PLAYERS-
(Continued from Page 4)
MR. HARRINGTON too has
not grown up, not from refusal,
but from inability. He lacks the
capacity to transcend the reality
of his childhood, and the values
which depend for their viability
on that experience.
Chuck Yingling seemed aware
of the implications of his role but
uncertain as how to realize them.
He strained after dignity and
then despair, achieved neither,
and filled in between efforts -with
gestures which seemed under-
rehearsed.
THE CENTER of the Harring-
tons conflict, and largely the
means of it as well is their eldest,
Clive. Like his mother he is imag-
inative and sensual. '
But like his father he insists
that the values he professes be
those by which he lives. It is his
father's integrity which draws
Clive toward him; but the content
of his father's values by their re-
jection of the imaginative and the
sensual prevent Clive's uncritical
acquiesence to the world of that
integrity.
MIKE HOLMES, who played
Clive, mingled fine stagecraft
with deep confusion as to the na-
ture of his role. His role was com-
plex; he responded to it with
complete sincerity, but in a few
instances without much apparent
understanding.
• THE IMPLICATION of the
Players' conclusion is clearly that
there can be no conclusion. "Five
Finger Exercise" proceeds from
no instant of -recognition and to-
ward none. No catharsis can
change the reality of the situa-
tion nor the tendencies of char-
acter which have gone to make it
up. Absolute rejection of the
past, it is suggested is only an-
other way by which the past con-
tinues to exercise its tyranny.

$1 with Rice ID
ing "50th Year" (as opposed* to
"Semi-centennial Year" which
this year's annual will commem-
orate, I suppose), it is not the
type of book one would be likely
to buy to display on one's shelves
as an example of one's aristo-
cratic taste.
Looking inside, I was just a bit
disconcerted to find the beau-
ties peering out at me through
some sort of mysterious haze.
(People with absolutely impec-
cable vision have told me that
they have experienced the same
unsettling phenomenon.) This
same weird mist is visible
throughout the annual, appearing
again notably in the Jones ac-
tivity section. Here the strange-
ness is more articulate in pictures
of armless and legless people who
seem to wander about in a fog.
AND THERE is the problem of
repetition in the pictures. I rea-
lize Jim Bob Doty is important,
but 37 times? But there are cer-
tainly bright spots. Charlie Dent's
cartoons ai'e great, as usual. The
pictures of the Outstanding Sen-
iors are striking and imaginative,
The picture of Dr. Croneis and
Sue Shephard is a real classic.
And there are the captions, al-
ways the captions. There seem to
be fewer really good captions
than usual, but the few that are
there are worth the search.
No, the '61 Campanile will not
be banned in the mails, nor is it
likely to become a collector's
item. But it is worth the space on
the bookshelf. Funny thing,
though. I have been unable to lo-
cate my bookcase lately. You see,
there is this mist . . .

Owl Band: 'Bigger, Better'
Saturday, the Semicentennial
Edition of the Rice Owl band un-
der the direction of M. Holmes
McNeely, will open its 1962-63
season at the L.S.U. game in Ba-
ton Rouge.
In keeping with the "bigger
and better" theme of the Fiftieth
Anniversary, the Owl band has
exceeded the one-hundred-musi-
cian mark. More than half of the
band is composed of freshmen,
including musicians who have dis-
tinguished themselves in All-
State honorary bands and orches-
tras in every part of the nation.
THE BAND will perform at all
home football games, with trips
to the L.S.U. game and the S.M.U.
game at Dallas during the State
Fair.
Field direction will be by Drum
Major Jim Rice, a sophomore
from Danville, Kentucky, and
administered by President Fred
Goff.
"ALTHOUGH THE BAND is
lai'ger than it has ever been," a
band spokesman said, "we are
constantly in seai*ch of new mu-
sicians to strengthen the various
sections." He urged prospective
band members to visit the band
hall in the Memorial Center base-
ment between 4 pm and G pm.

Reflections of Telstar
Remember the picture above? It flashed across your
television screen on a hot nrght last July. Perhaps
.you remember that it originated from France. And
that it reached the U. S. via Telstar, the world's first
private enterprise communications satellite.
Since that summer night, the Bell System's Telstar
has relayed electronic signals of many types-tele-
vision broadcasts, telephone calls, news photographs,
and others.
But there's one Telstar reflection you might have
missed. Look into the faces of the Bell System people
below and you'll see it. It is the reflection of Telstar's
success that glowed brightly on the faces of all who
shared in the project.
Their engineering, administrative and operations
skills created Telstar and are bringing its benefits
down out of the clouds ta your living room.
These Bell System people, through their talented;
dedicated efforts, make your phone service still better,
more economical, and more useful.
The reflections of Telstar are many.
