Precision Drili Workshop .. .
Leader Puts Snap in Steps
"I believe a bund is like a three-
legged stool," remarked A.K. Cas-
uvant, Kuest clinician for the Pre-
cision Drill Workshop. "It ha*
three aspects—concert, sight read-
ing and marching. All three should
be there, and If a band ignores
two, it ia losing the field of the
American band."

New Movie Retains
Hollywood Tradition
By FELTON COCHRAN
Once again Hollywood has a
laugh with the Navy. In the fine
tradition of "Mister Roberts" and
"Operation Petticoat," "The Hon-
eymoon Machine" comes off with
more of the zany antics of mod-
ern-day seamen.
The movie is playing now at the
Campus Theater.
It's about a brainstorm that Lt.
Pergie Howard (played by Steve
McQueen), a couple of Navy bud-
47 degrees below to five below).
That's Fahrenheit.
And, with the Canadian Rockies
.is a backdrop, the film promises
the usual miracles of color pho-
tography that are a standard part
of the Disney world.
The story is about a Malemute
pup, Nikki, ai:d a bear cub, Neewa,
found and leashed together by a
French - Canadian fur trader
(played by actor Jean Coutu). The
two animals get separated from
dies and a couple of good-looking ... . . ,.

breaking the bank at one of the
Venice, Italy, gambling casinos.
They use their ship's electronic
computer—that can trace a mis-
sile within inches of its target—
to detect where the ball will fall
on one of the local roulette wheels.
Kidiculous? Probably so, but the
situation gets better, or worse
(your choice) in following scenes
that include a free-for-all and ef-
fective "brown-nosing" of the
ship's admiral.
A number of newcomers bright-
en the cast. They are Brigid Baz-
len, who made her debut in "King
of Kings"; Jim Hutton and Paula
Prentiss of "Wlfre the Boys Are"
fame; and Jack Mullaney, who ap-
peared in "All the Fine Young
Cannibals."
"Tammy Tell Me True," ori-
ginally scheduled for showing this
week, was put off until Wednes-
day.

Walt Disney just chalked up a
cool one.
His latest production, "Nikki,
Wild Dog of the North," now
showing at the Fine Arts Theater,
took three years of filming in sub-
zero temperatures (ranging from
turns. So, bound together, the
natural enemies overlook any
whims of dislike for one another
and seek food and shelter.
Of course, some kind of friend-
ship arises before the leash breaks
and when it does they don't sepa-
rate until the bear goes into hi-
bernation. That's supposed to be a
real heartbreaking scene.
Then the plot centers around
Nikki (played, incidentally, by a
dog of the same name who was
raiued and trained in Alaska espe-
cially for the part). He runs into a
"bad guy" (played by Einil Genest)
who captures him and attempts to
revive the illegal sport of pit-
fighting.
The story is based on James Oli-
ver Curwood's novel, "Nomads of
the North." And with the Disney
touch it ought to make an in-
teresting hour and a quarter for
moviegoers.
in the precision drill field, ia the
featured speaker for the week-long
School of Muaic workahop for 36
band directors and drill team lead-
er* from Arizona to South Caro-
lina.
"Pm try to improve one leg of
the stool—marching," Casavant re-
marked as he strenuously demon-
strated hi* marching techniques to
workshop members.
I'rominer.ce
Precision marching has been
prominent in the United State*
since the late '20s and early '30*.
The basic concepts in drill have
been fluid so that precision march-
ing today is not judged the same
way it was 30 years ago.
Developments in the field have
been a matter of classifying the
basic concepts because precision
drill is noted for its apprentice-
ship of learning and secretiveness
of nature, the speaker ex-
plained. Few drill masters expose
their secrets. Knowledge of drill-
ing is a matter of the individual's
perception.
The number of bands has doubled
countless times since 1930, Caa-
avant added, with approximately
25,000 organized high school and
college bands across the nation
now.
Enthusiastic Texans
In comparison with units in
other parts of the country, Texas
bands are more advanced as a
whole because they are more en-
thusiastic, he said.
"High schools are one of the
truly American institutions," Cas-
avant commented. "No other coun-
try in the world has bands in its
schools and colleges."
Casavant, who lives in Chatta-
nooga, Tenn., divides his time be-
tween workshops in the summer.
During the winter and spring he
does research, writes and helps
other people with their drill prob-
lems. In addition to his main in-
terest, he has had patented two
inventions for carrying drums on
the drill field.

By DALLAS LEE
A startling explosion, an ar-
ray of sparks, a surge of heat
-and bright molten steel cas-
caded into a huge vat.
North Texas geography stu-
dents were observing Monday as
workers lapped the furnace at
Lone Star Steel Co. in Dainger-
field.
"This is the highlight of the
steel mill, and a rarity," the guide
told the NTSC group. "They
only tap the furnace every IS
hours and they muat begin as
soon as the molten steel reaches
the right temperature."
The temperature ia raised to
2,870 degrees before the tapping
process begins. If the tempera-
ture reached 3,100 degrees the
vat would be destroyed.
DR. WALTER HANSEN and
Lee Knox of the geography fac-
ulty were sponsors of the field
trip which took advanced geog-
raphy students through the salt
mine nt Grand Saline and the
steel company.
The group observed the pro-
cesses of steel production in
places where the heat was al-
most unbearable.
Carolyn Cass, a senior from
Dallas who watched as the fur-
nace was tapped, said, "The col-
ors were gorgeous, but I couldn't
imagine anything being that
hot."
THE HOTTEST place visited
housed the "soaking pits," whore
the blocks of steel were reheated
before being rolled into flat
slabs. The name is a misnomer,
because the steel was not actual-
ly soaked in anything.
"I can sec why they call it the
soaking pit," said Dr. Hansen.
"You get soaking wet."
The group also toured the
Morton Salt Mine in Grand Sa-
line, but couldn't visit the plant
where the salt is processed.
"There are not enough pas-
sageways or catwalks in the
plant," explained Knox. "The
insurance prevents any tourists."
THE GROUP toured parts of
the 12 miles of tunnel 700 feet
below the surface in the salt
dome. The dome is a "bubble"
of salt that roae toward the sur-
face as a result of pressure. It
ia ltt miles long by % of a mile
wide and 3 miles deep.
Knox pointed out toat the salt
mined from the tunnels ia uaed
for industry. The granulated aalt
used in the home is produced by
the evaporation of salt brine.
Another field trip will be tak-
en Tuesday to Pilot Point to
see the contrast between sandy
soil and black soil.
