Films of The 1946 Mt.St.Elias Climb to Be Shown Today
A film covering a 1946 climb of Mt. St. Elias will be shown at 4 p.m. today in Fraser theater by Dee Molenaar, an adviser in mountain and cold weather training at Camp Carson, Colo.
MOVIE TO SHOW MOUNTAIN—The 18,008-foot Mt. St. Elias near the Alaskan-Yukon border in Alaska will be the subject of a movie to be shown at 4 p.m. today in Fraser theater. Dee Molenaar, who was in a party that scaled the peak in 1946, will present the hour-long film. This picture was taken by Mr. Molenaar at a point 12,000 feet on the south slope.
At 6 p.m. the Mountaineering club will honor Mr. Molenaar at a dinner in the English room of the Union.
The film documents the scaling of the 18,008-foot Mt. St. Elias by a party of which Mr. Molenaar was a member and that Elia is the man will tell of plans to conquer K-2, second highest mountain in the world.
Mr. Molenaar is on the campus in conjunction with the Mountaineering club's Easter trip to Estes Park, Colo.
Two exhibits of different mountain climbing equipment are now on display, one on the second floor of Fraser hall and the other is in the library.
Hollywood — (U.P.) The screen world plainly showed its surprise today at the Academy Award selection of "The Greatest Show on Earth" as the best movie of 1952.
DeMille, Booth, Cooper Get Oscars
Shirley Booth and Gary Cooper won "Oscars" for the best performances in leading roles—as expected.
But the ermine and black tie audience at the Pantages theatre here chattered in excited surprise when Cecil M. de Mill's circus extravaganza collected the best picture award.
"High Noon," a suspenseful western which won Cooper his best actor Oscar, had been a strong pre-ceremony favorite, with several other films given better chances than de Mille's technicolor production.
Miss Booth, who among the acting winners had the stage virtually to herself, literally fell for her Oscar and stole the spotlight as an estimated radio and television audience of 90 million watched and listened to
8 From J-School Take Field Trip
Advanced journalism students yesterday toured the Leavenworth Times to study equipment, flow of work, and circulation and advertising methods used.
The field trip was one of a series conducted by Prof. Elmer F. Beth in the Newspaper Administration course.
Special equipment used by the Times includes the teletypesetter, a punched-tape mechanism which operates a type-casting machine at twice normal speed; the Fairchild Scan-a-graver, an electronic machine which produces celluloid "cuts" for printing pictures, and a high-speed press printing from tubular plates.
Students who made the trip are Dean Evans, Patsy Gardenhire, Leota Godding, Donald Landes, Virginia Mackey, Lynn McDougal, and Patricia Vance, seniors, and Bill Foose, special student.
the annual presentations.
Cooper heard about his victory on a Mexico movie location.
Supporting actor award winner Anthony Quinn, of "Viva Zapata," also was in Mexico. Blonde Gloria Grahame, the supporting actress winner from "The Bad and the
Beautiful," could only gasp, "Thank you very much."
Composer Dimitri Tiomkin was a double winner, taking awards for the best song, "High Noon," with lyricist Ned Washington, and for the best scoring of a dramatic picture, "High Noon."
