Band Adds Twirler as Miss Eagle
To Regular Half-Time Performances
"Who's that out there on the
field with the band? When did we
get her?"
These questions refer to the ad-
dition to the NT Marching band
this year of Miss Eagle, who is
personified by Jean Ruyle, Dallas,
one of the twirlers with the band.
Maurice McAdow, conductor of
the band, stated that he had been
toying with the idea of a Miss
Eagle for three or four years and
the idea came from the Indian
dances performed at summer re-
sorts. McAdow added that the new
Miss Eagle would be adopted as a
regular part of the half-time per-
formances by the band.
McAdow expressed his appre-
ciation to Mrs. Helen Wright and
merchandising art class of the
School of Business for making the
costume. Mrs. Wright and her com-
mittee composed of Nora Jarvis,
Carthage; Joe Brinkley, Weather
ford; Billy Gene Randolph, De
Kalb; Jerry Duval, Dallas; Caro-
lyn Kosel, Rosebud; Mary Fran-

Senator to Appear
In Crystal Room
Pi Sigma Alpha, political social
science honor fraternity, will hold
a reception for Senator Ralph Yar
borough in the Crystal room of
Marquis hall Monday at 5 p.m.,
Lindsay Kcffer, Seymour, presi-
dent of the organization, said
Wednesday.
All persons desiring to meet the
United States senator are invited
to attend.
Senator Yarhorough is to be in
Denton by invitation of the Den-
ton Chamber of Commerce, which
has planned several activities dur-
ing the day for Senator Yarhor-
ough, including a luncheon at the
Pat Boone Country Inn at 12:15
p.m. Tickets for the luncheon are
available at the Chamber of Com-
merce office, or from Keffer in the
government building, for $2.
Senator Yarborough will tour
the site of Denton's Federal Un-
derground Shelter renter which is
to be constructed in the near fu-
ture.
Announcement
"Saturday Is the last day ap-
plications for the bachelor's
master'a, and d*Ktor's degrees
may be filed," Vice-President
J. J. Spurlock announced Mon-
day. Studenta who plan to grad-
uate in June should have their
programs checked during this
semester.
The actual costume is of papier-
mache covered with oil cloth. It is
a stylized eagle head and costume.
The head is a wire base covered
with papier-mache. Mrs. Wright
explained that a problem was en-
countered in trying to get the head
to tit and have the eagle's bill in
the exai t place of Miss Ruyle's
eyes so sho would be able to see.
Another problem was to find a
substance to make it of so that it
would be durable as well as ef
foctive, so it could be worn more
than one time.
In making the wings, the class
had to make them movable so it
would be possible foi Miss Eagle
to twirl but to fasten them secure-
ly al the same time.

Heart Association
Awards Dr. Lott
Grant for Research
A $700 research grant has been
awarded to Dr. James It. Lott of
the biology department by the Den-
ton county chapter of the Texas
Heart association. The grant is to
lie used for research on the effects
of aging on the metabolism of
heart tissue.
Dr. Lott will try to determine
what chemical events are altered
in the heart muscle due to aging.
He will compare the heart tissue
metabolism of normal white mice
to that of senile mice, both raised
under identical environmental con-
ditions.
This research will involve the
use of the Warburg apparatus, a
device wich enables one to measure
the uptake of oxygen in excised
tissue.
Dr. Lott hopes to extend this
phase of his research into further
studies on heart metabolism. In a
later phase he will study the ef-
fects of work on the heart tissue
metabolism of white mice. Another
phase will compare the metabolism
of ordinary young mice to that of
mice raised under very noisy, hy-
pertensive conditions. These later
techniques will involve the meas-
urement of the rate of uptake of
radioactive phosphorus, an element
important in tissue metabolism.
Though this grant will cover
only the first phase, Dr. Lott hope
it will be a springboard to further
grants, and Wednesday he ex
pressed his thanks to the local
Heart association for the grant.
Puccini, is an opera in three acts.
Its first production was in Rome
in 1000,
• v
The setting of the first act is
the interior of the Church of
Sant' Andrea, where Mario is
painting a Madonna. Ilis model
is an unknown worshiper who
comes regularly to the church
to pray. Mario is in love with
Tosca, a singer, who becomes
jealous of the model. While
Mario paints, a political prisoner
rushes in, and Mario hides him.
Later the prisoner escapes in
his sister's clothes. The sister is
the same girl who serves as the
model.
♦ ♦ ♦
This enrages Tosca, but Mario
soothes her feelings until a fa"i
which belongs to the sister is dis-
covered by Scarpia, chief of police.
In the second act which takes
place in an apartment in the Far-
nese palace, Tosca discovers that
Mario is being tortured to force
him to tell the hiding place of
Angellotti. Tosca is unable to see
her lover in pain so she tells the
hiding place. Mario is taken to
prison. Scarpia says that he will
spare Tosca's lover if she will be-
come his. She finally consents, and
the chief of police signs the re-
lease for Mario. As he finishes
writing, Tosca stabs him.
♦ • •
Art three takes place at dawn
in the San Angelo castle, where
Mario is being brought out to
be executed. Tosca tells him of
Scarpia's release and that the
execution is to be a mock affair.
Mario fares the guns with a
smile, believing himself saved.
The soldiers fire and Tosca re-
alizes the release was fake. At
this time the news of Scarpia's
death is heard, and the soldiers
attempt to capture Tosca who
escapes by jumping to her death
from th? parapet.
* * ♦
The presentation will be the
annual presentation of the Work-
shop. Last year the opera was
"Cavallerfn Rusticana" by Mas-
cagni.
