Santa Claus Comes Early For Speech-Journalism Prof
Christmas in October may sound like daydreaming, but when Bruce Linton, associate professor of speech and journalism, peered into his stocking Monday he found two television cameras, three monitor sets, complete studio lighting equipment and microphones.
Although not completely surprised, Prof. Linton beamed with satisfaction as he surveyed the electric devices, Santa Claus had taken the form of the Dage Corp., Michigan City, Ind., manufacturer of the equipment. The delivery climaxed a year's careful planning for the ultimate installation of a closed-circuit television system, which last fall was a distant dream.
"The outlook now is for even bigger and better things," Mr. Linton explained as the excelsior was being swept away.
Offices In Hoch
"We're expanding very rapidly and expect to be settled in our new offices in the sub-basement of Hoch Auditorium between Thanksgiving and Christmas.
The utilization of the new equipment will be threefold. It will serve as a training device for television technicians, will be used to produce programs to help University public relations, and will be used for communicating lectures, illustrations, and information within the University.
A get-acquainted tea for freshmen women and eligible upperclass-women in music and music education will be held by Mu Phi Epsilon and Sigma Alpha Iota, professional music sororities, at 4 p. m. Thursday in the Student Union ballroom.
Music Groups Plan Teas, Pledging
"In the immediate future we can only use the new facilities for teaching purposes.

students may write, produce, direct and photograph their own productions Prof Linton said.
Producing Films
"Meanwhile we are busy with our motion picture program of producing eight full productions by the end of the year which we hope to release to various Kansas television stations. Three of these have already been planned and are soon to be in rehearsals," he said.
The first production of the year is a dramatic documentary concerning the emotional adjustments of the parents of children having cleft palates and the treatment of this defect. This is being produced with the cooperation of the Speech Clinic.
The second is "The Modern Twist," a survey of modern dance, written by James Kohlenberg, Louisburg senior. And third is a documentary on bronze casting.
Prof. Tait Is Life Member Of ASME
Ralph Tait, associate professor of mechanical engineering, has been elected to an honorary life membership in the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.
The citation which accompanied the membership was "in recognition of your faithful loyalty to the society over a long period of years." To be considered for such an honor, the member must have belonged to ASME for 35 years. Prof. Tait has been a member since 1921.
The life membership automatically makes Prof. Tait a member of the "Old Guard," the ruling body of the Society.
Prof To Go To Japan
Dr. Norvel M. McClung, assistant professor of botany, has been invited to give a paper at the first regional conference on electron microscopy in Asia and Oceania Oct. 23 to 27 in Tokyo, Japan.
Dr. McClung will leave Lawrence Friday and fly from San Francisco Tuesday. He will return to the campus early in November.
The title of the botanist's paper is "The Cytology of Practinomyces (Nocardia) Ruber (Casabo) Baldacci as Revealed by the Electron Microscope." It will be part of the program on the biological applications of the microscope. Dr. McClung also will serve as chairman of a session on histological applications.
He plans to visit laboratories at the University of Tokyo and at Kyoto where studies of the nocardia, the organism in which Dr. McClung is interested, are being made. The nocardia is a fungus related to those that produce antibiotics.
The Office of Naval Research is giving partial support to Dr. McClung's trip to the conference, which is under the auspices of the International Federation of Electron Microscopy Societies.
Mother, Daughter To Give Recital
An unusual musical program will be presented in Strong Auditorium Oct. 25 when a Puerto Rican woman and her 10-year-old daughter give a duo-piano recital.
Mrs. Irma Vallecillo, a graduate of the Jullliard School of Music, and her daughter, Irma, have been in the States since September. Their trip to the University was made so that both of them could have a few weeks of piano study and technical drill from Mrs. Angelica Morales von Sauer, visiting professor of piano.
Both are well-trained and gifted pianists, Mrs. Morales believes, and the concert should be of interest to those associated with the University. Mrs. Valcillo and Irma will return to Puerto Rico at the end of the month.
