Film Club Plans Motion Picture;
Rice To Be 'Hollywood of South'
By EDWARD BLOCHER
The "Harvard of the South" is
soon to become the "Hollywood
of the South." Aspiring actors,
actresses, and directors may now
engage their talents in making
motion pictures with a new film
club.
The soul of the group is a
fellow named Kenneth Anthony.
Kenneth has already made a thir-
ty-minute film, in color and
sound, which he entered in a Ko-
dak movie contest this summer.
VARIOUS SCRIPTS are being
considered for the group's first
film. One story, based on a col-
lege situation, was found, but the
Administration did not want it
filmed on campus because of its

"strength," Anthony said.
Another script, based on a
plane crash, is favored now. It is
a psychological drama about the
effects of isolating a man in a
forest, and about the conflict be-
tween nature and this man's con-
fident, scientific mind.
It has been proposed that this
film be made in the "Big Thick-
et" northeast of Houston. Others
suggest that a closer spot be
chosen. In any case, little or no
manufactured scenery will be
used.
THE MOVIE will probably be
made on 8mm film, and as the
organization grows and gets more
support, 16mm film will be used.
Anthony supposes that extra
funds might be obtained from the
University (as the contribution
would be for an artistic purpose),
or possibly from other interested
groups, such as the Contem-
porary Arts Museum.
At present, the organization
does not want to affiliate itself
with the University, the Student
Association or any other such
group. The fifteen or so active
members of the group wish to
work independently.

'ITS PLAINLY ILLEGAL...'
Frosh Defy
Tradition With Copter
By ROGER GLADE
"Baptism in mud" is what it's
been called, as every year the
Hanszen Frosh traditionally try
to remove a beanie from atop a
greased pole surrounded by mud.
Traditionally, they fail and have
to run off the "shack runs" ac-
cumulated under the "guidance"
program.
This year it was a Will Rice
Beanie and the Freshmen shout-
ed "We object!" and the sopho-
mores gave ten-to-one odds that
the beanie would stay on that
pole.
THEN, JUST AS the freshmen
waded into the slime pit, from
behind the stadium rose a Heli-
copter.
It circled the field and headed
straight for the pole. Sophomore
Bill Jenkins grabbed up a hand-
ful of mud and tried to down the
metal bird as Ken Hanson, fresh-
man, leaned out of the cockpit
and snatched the beanie.
THE WHOLE situation arose
from a diner-table discussion be-
tween "Idea-man and Astronaut"
Hanson and "Project Coordina-
tor" John Dunlap. Aided by
Royce Brough, a kindly Junior,
they investigated the feasibility
of hiring a Helicopter and final-
ly settled on one piloted by Bill
Holmes of the International Hel-
icopters Company.
Barney McCoy, then entered
the project as "Chief of Finance
and Security" to oversee the col-
lection of a dollar from each

freshman. Said, McCoy, "It was
most remarkable that 89 people
kept the secret for over three
weeks." Finally, "Life," the
"Chronicle," the "Post," and KP-
RC-TV decided to cover the fes-
tivities.
AT THE END of the escapade
J i m Hargrove, mud-smeared
Hanszen guidance coordinator,
sputtered, "It's plainly illegal . .
I made only one rule for the con-
test and you all had to go and
break it."
Pilot Holmes exclaimed, "Look
at the mud all over my ship!"
And Bill Jenkins was pursued
across the athletic field by three
exultant Freshmen.
Former Viet Nam
Envoy To Analyze
Crisis In S.E. Asia
Next week the Forum Com-
mittee brings Frederick Nolting,
the former U. S. Ambassador
to Viet Nam, to the Rice cam-
pus.
Mr. Nolting will speak in the
Fondren Library Lecture Lounge
Wednesday, November 13, at 3:15
pm. That night, he will speak
at the Faculty and Associates
Dinner.
MR. NOLTING will give a
short statement of his views on
the United States' involvement in
Viet Nam, followed by a ques-
tion and answer period. Since the
State Department has ordered
him not to make public state-
ments about U. S. policy in Viet
Nam, he speaks on the condition
that his remarks will not be pub-
lished, that is, it is a closed inter-
vew.
It is felt that Mr. Nolting will
be able to clear away some of the
conditions raised by Madam Nhu
and that he will be able to give
an authoritative analysis of the
recent Viet Nam coup and the
events preceding it.
