THE NAVY RING—Dick Ross, Farrel Schell, Harry Hisket, Jim Whittaker and John Shroeder wait for battalion commander Richard Gray's command to hict the midsection of a 500-pound ring so one of the side sections can be slipped into place. The huge replica of the senior ring will be used as part of the decorations for the Navy ring dance next week.
Middies Build Ring For 4th Navy Dance
A nine-foot model of a Navy class ring is being built by NROTC midshipmen for their Ring dance which will be held March 6 in the Union ballroom.
The dance is patterned after a Naval Academy event and is held annually in honor of midshipman juniors who are receiving Navy class rings. This year's dance will be the Earth on this campus.
The large ring plays a key role in intermission ceremonies which are set in Naval Academy tradition.
The midshipman and his date enter the ring where she removes the middy's ring from a ribbon around her neck and dips it into a compass binnacle containing water from the seven seas. She then places the ring on the midshipman's finger and presents him with a kiss.
A couple's manner of leaving the ring indicates their relationship. If the midshipman leaves first, they are engaged. If the girl leaves first, they are pinned. If they leave together, it's just another date; and if they back out, they are married.
Four years ago NROTC students built a 10-foot model ring which was used for the first three Ring dances held in the drill hall of the Military Science building. Last summer the drill hall was divided into classrooms.
Members of the Hawkwatch society, Ring dance sponsors found it impossible to get the ring out of the drill hall. The ring had been built the hall and was too large to pass through the doors.
Farrell Schell, engineering senior and Hawkwatch president, and Dick Gray, engineering senior and Midshipman Battailion Commander, designed a new ring, which is being made in three sections. It will be gold with the Navy class ring design painted in black and a lighted red jewel on top. Midshipman Bob Grimes, fine arts senior, will paint the design, and John Hordyke, 4th year architecture, is in charge of constructing the Jewel.
Work started Feb. 1 in the Union.
A plywood framework was assembled, and covered with tape and muslin. When put together, the ring will be over nine feet tall, 10 feet wide, and will weigh approximately 500 pounds. The inside will be eight feet wide and almost seven feet high.
The Hawkwatch society, which is in charge of the ring construction and the dance, is the executive council for midshipmen. Lt Joseph Faull,

Paintings Shown In Omaha Show
Paintings by three University faculty members are shown in the Biennial exhibition of Paintings, Sculpture and Graphic arts in the Joslyn Art museum, Omaha, Neb.
John Armstrong and Robert N. Studlow, instructors in drawing and painting, and Robert Green, associate professor of drawing and painting, have paintings in the exhibition.
Museum purchase awards will be selected by the Museum's Accessions committee, the Junior league of Omaha, and the Associated artists of Omaha. These awards will be added to the museum's permanent collection.
Mr. Armstrong's painting, "Commuter's Landscape," and his casein painting, "None Shall Sleep," are displayed with Mr. Sudlow's "Wood Landscape" in oil and Prof. Green's watercolor, "Lake Theme."
Twenty-four graduates of Yale university were members of the Continental Congress, four signed the Declaration of Independence, and four Yale men were members of the convention that framed the U.S. Constitution.
The exhibition is comprised of artists' work from Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, North and South Dakota and Wyoming.
Display Shows Textile Derivation
The derivation of textile fibers is on display in show cases at the south end of the Union cafeteria.
The display was prepared by textiles students in the home economics department under the direction of Miss Ruth Franzen, instructor of home economics.
The display shows two major sources of textile fibers; natural and man-made.
Natural animal fibers are silk and wool. Wool types are vicuna, kashmir, camel, huarizo, alpaca, and guanaco; depending on the animal which grows it.
The natural plant fibers are from the stems or seed hairs of plants. Stem fibers include hemp, ramie and pina pineapple. The natural textile fibers from seed hairs are kapok, typha or cattail, and milkweed.
One group of man-made fibers are called the acrylonitriles. The raw materials from which these are made are coal, limestone, natural gas, petroleum, air, and water. The resulting materials are water repellent, crease resistant and fire retarding. They are called dynel, acrilan, and orlon. Nylon is made from coal tar, air, and water.
Cellulose, milk, asbestos, fiberglass, and aluminum are also used as raw material from which to manufacture fibers for cloth.
Three seniors in the School of Business acted as a panel for a discussion of personnel cases at a meeting last night of the Personnel Association of Greater Kansas City, held at the Hotel Phillips, Kansas City, Mo.
Business Seniors Lead Panel Talks
On the panel were William Crews, David Platter, and Bruce Talmadge. Frank T. Stockton, director of special projects, served as moderator.

However, this development did little to settle the battle of words. Sen. McCarthy lashed back with a charge that Secretary Stevens had made a "completely false" statement in reporting he had received "assurances" Wednesday from members of Sen. McCarthy's investigating subcommittee that they would not permit "abuse" of officer witnesses in the "future."

Stevens Is Jubilant Over Ike's Support
Mr. Stevens remained silent on Sen. McCarthy's latest charge. A high administration source revealed the embattled secretary feels he won his fight late yesterday when Mr. Eisenhower endorsed his declaration "never to accede" to Army officers being "browbeaten or humiliated" by Sen. McCarthy.
This pledge, which Mr. Stevens delivered from the White House, came as a dramatic climax in the secretary's dispute with Sen. McCarthy.
Washington—(U.P.)—Army Secretary Robert T. Stevens was reported "jubilant" today over the "100 per cent" backing President Eisenhower gave him in his feud with Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy (R.-Wis.) over treatment of army witnesses before the senator's investigating subcommittee.
It put a large dent in the "complete accord" announced between the two men only the day before. It defeated the energetic maneuvering of Republican leaders to prevent the feud from blowing up publicity and damaging party harmony. It also further strained relations between Sen. McCarthy and the White House.
