Aerospace Companies Prepare for Bidding
NEW YORK—(UPI)—Aerospace companies are preparing to do some pretty competitive bidding for new military contracts in 1965 because of the current leveling of defense spending.
While none in the industry see any sharp cutbacks on the horizon, neither do they see any sign of an end
Rock Chalk Competitors Announced
Winners in the script competition for the 1965 Rock Chalk Revue were announced yesterday.
They are: "How the West Was Won" or "Let's Give It Back to the Indians," Alpha Chi Omega-Sigma Phi Epsilon; "That Spouse That Roared," Alpha Phi-Alpha Kappa Lambda; "Oedipus and Electra" or "That Grecian Kid's Stuff," Delta Gamma-Sigma Chi; and "Surfin' Samson," Kappa Alpha Theta-Kappa Sigma.
In announcing the winners, Hoite Caston, Independence graduate student, said, "The competition was really close."
THE WINNING scripts were chosen from nine scripts submitted to the judges before Christmas vacation. Caston said.
Walter Meserve, professor of English; Tom Rea, instructor in speech and drama, and Herk Harvey, director for Centron Corp., Lawrence, judged the scripts.
"No script was judged over-all superior." he added.
Gaston quoted one of the judges as saying "All the scripts could have been produced this year."
"Fractured Flickers," theme for the 1965 Revue, may lend Hollywood glamour to the show, but the script writing meant hours of hard work in the opinion of the writers.
THE FINISHED product for Delta Gamma-Sigma Chi took "about 1,000 man hours," Mike Robe, Arkansas City junior, said.
Robe said his group kept a fresh approach to the script by working with a different aspect of the skit at each session.
Kevin Condon, Kansas City, Mo. sophomore, estimated the Alpha Chi Omega-Sigma Phi Epsilon writers spent four to six hours a week in script writing.
The hard work is really just beginning, Condon said.

to the present downhole in the defense budget. And more than a few are discomfitted by the fact that, while the fiscal 1965 budget calls for total expenditures of $46.7 billion, down $1.5 billion from the year before, spending for military hardware was set $2.3 billion below fiscal 1964.
The aerospace companies don't have all their eggs in the military basket, however. The supersonic transport program offers opportunity for many next year, and there is also the matter of space exploration.
Even so, the aerospace firms are looking for other fields in which to hedge their bets. One of the largest, Aerojet-General Corp., is casting its eye on the farm machinery field, which is pretty far removed from missiles and jets.
In California, at the western end of the aerospace crescent that swings from the Pacific coast and through the gulf states before curving upward toward the east, state legislators already have grown a bit alarmed over prospects of contract cutbacks and declining payrolls. They are urging the aerospace companies to turn some of their scientific knowledge and techniques into new fields.
