closing b( school last spring each
member went his Individual way
and the group has remained
separated.
Vocalist Billy Lyon Is In New
Mexico teaching and Phil Smith
is in Houston attending the Uni-
versity of Houston. Hal McGloth-
lin resides in Abilene but is due
to go into the Army Oct. 19. Mc-

'Hunters' Lacks Plot;

By WILKES BERRY
The plot's the thing. If it hasn't
got it here it hasn't got it. "Tht
Hunien" didn't have it. A stellar
cast contributed a great deal to-
ward making the audience think
It was getting meat and potatoes
Instead of skimmed milk and mel-
ba toast. To wit: Robert Mitchum

Perm Questions Point
Of "Death to West?"
Forum Editor:
While reading the editorial last
week called "Death to the West?"
I pondered the point.
I hope that in essence the edi-
torial meant to show disapproval
pi apparel hypocrisy.
But the style of the article-
seemed to slam the wearing of
boots and western hats for all
reasons.
A city boy sporting $50 high-
topped boots a Roy Rogers shirt
and a ten-gallon hat would be as
much a misfit on the campus as
would I if I wore a tuxedo to feed
my hogs.
Therefore if the editorial was
directed at ACC Lone Rangers I
agree to the fullest extent.
But at the same time I will con-
tinue wearing boots. Most of .us
who wear them do so mainly ( for
the comfort they offer.

CHEESE. PLEASE
Camera Bug Bites Student
He Snaps ACC Campus Life
By JUDY BRANDON
"O.K. let's give a nice fat
cheese." These words arc the
stock of the trade to thnt snwlnl
man with a camera David Dallas.
Dallas a senior student from
Cross Plains has worked four
years as photocraohcr fo rthn
Prickly Pear and the Optimist.
Yet even with these four venrs
of professional experience he
the Hypnotist changed expres-
sion about as often as his jet
plane and tried to surpass its
wing-span with his shoulder pads.
Perhaps we're just soured on the
stock role tough heartless air
ace shows himself to be a noble
and self-sacrificing Polly-anna
after all.
THE BEST that can be said
for "The Hunters" is that it was
replete with all the "fads and
frills" of movie-making. There
were some swing and meaningful
ihots of supersonic jets streaking
ivcr Chinese rice noddies vuhrr
he natives were engaged in
primitive farming.
Take-offs hardly outnumltor
"pry crashes which were specta-
cular in glorious technicolor and
rcath-toklng Cinemascope.
The Abilono Symphony Orches-
tra (please read on) is doing its
Mt to alleviate the cultural'
'routh which we have all deplor-J
1 in these West Texas hinter-
lands.
The orchestra Is willing to meet
'nyone half-way without selling
its birth-right. Very few people
"an fail to enjoy a program of
piano music by a young pianist of
Leonard Pennario's caliber.
PENNARIO will onen the senson
on Tuesday Oct. 14 in the Abi-
lene High School auditorium.
Season tickets will be on sale at
that time. For $3 students can
see all the concerts presented this
year.
The Abilene Community Thea-
ter is making more professional
noises his year; in fact it hopes
to move into Its own "house" be-
re too many weeks. Early in
Vovember ACT will serve up "A
Hatful of Rain" to anvone who
relishes realism-in-thc-round.

However Chuck "Edwards whe

that these offers were not in a
high enough bracket for this par-
tcular group of entertainers.

still considers himself "an
amateur because of fast-developing
advances in the photography
field."
THIS "AMATEUR" has been a
camera bug since his sophomore
days in high school. "The more
and more I get involved the more
photography fascinates me" says
David. From those early days he
has progressed to "banquets
color weddings home portraits
industrial commercial passports
and parties" quote David Dallas'
business card.
Last year he won second place
in the TIPA contest with a fea-
ture picture.
David and his faithful camera
companion a $475 Swedish Has-
selblad 1000-F can be seen nearly
every day In some dormitory pai -lor
in the auditorium on the Ad
ministration Building fire escape
or on the athlete field capturing
the spirit of Abilene Christian
College in pictures.
"I'M ALWAYS ready to go
anywhere anytime for a good pic-
ture" states Dallas whose phone
number is OR 3-7149.
He his camera and the other
member of the family his wife
Buena live at 317 E.N. 14. The
most exciting picture he ever
made was taken from the ton nf
a 00 feet tall vibratlmr oil dor-
rick while a derrick man was
holding his feet to keep him from
slipping in the oil.
DESPITE THE conditions the
picture was good enough to be
published in "Drill Bit" magazine.
David is majoring in art and
plans to go into either commer-
cial art or free-lance photogra-
phy. It is his opinion that "Photo-
graphy in the future will play a
big role in science industry
medicine and nearly any other
major field."
