All Systems Go for Road Trip;
Wichita Train Leaves Saturday
Plana for the Road Trip are complete.
Ticket .sales ended Friday with all seats
I wing sold or committed.
There was some speculation that the
football team would accompany the other
students back on the train. The team will
not, but enough seats were sold to en-
able the trip to go on without the play-
ers.
USNT Vice-President Cathy Stricklin
said, "We are more excited than ever.
We have 100 more people than last yoar,
and the trip costs twice as much, It
looks like we have a lot more spirit."
The Beefeaters and the New Sound
will l>e on hand for dancing in two cars.
A REFRESHMENT CAR selling sand-
wiches, cold drinks, coffee, donuts and
candy will be available.
Rides to the train station will leave
the Union Building at 5:30 a.m. Satur-
day. At 6:45 the Santa Fe Super Chief
will leave Denton. The train will arrive
in Wichita around noon and buses will be
waiting to take students to the game.
The buses are to arrive at the stadium
around 1 :30 and the kickoff is at 2.
After the game, the buses will «-o down-
town and students will have two hours
to eat. At 7:30 the train leaves for Den-
ton, arriving here at 1:30 a.m. Sunday.

Theater II To Premiere
With Two Productions
By BEN WILHITE
Tonight's 8:15 opening of Theater 11
brings the possibility of a drama scholar-
ship one step closer to reality. Two pro-
ductions presented by the new drama
organization will play until Saturday.
The admission charge of 50 cents will
go into a scholarship fund. The plays will

"We are losing too many of our af-
firmative case debates in tournaments,"
Debate Coach William DeMougeot said
Monday. "For that reason we will be
developing a new affirmative case this
week.''
North Texas debaters lost eight of
13 affirmative debates in the TCU tour-
nament last weekend. They won 11 of
14 debates on the negative side of the
question. This year's national debate
topic is "Resolved: That the United
States Should Substantially Reduce Jts
Foreign Policy Commitments."
Thursday, Steve Segal and Cathy
Stricklin lost to the TCU debate team
of Paul Madden and Mike Hadley in the
annual North Texas Homecoming De-
bate. Segal and Miss Stricklin debated
the affirmative.
North Texas State's overall score in
the TCU tournament was 1(5-11, bringing
the year's record to 52-43. North Texas
competed against 50 schools from 12
states. There were 140 teams, including
four from NTSU.
Miss Stricklin and Segal, representing
the North Texas senior division debate
team, had a 12 lead in the preliminaries.
In the octafinals they defeated the Uni-
versity of Kansas; in the quarterfinals,
Hardin-Simmons. They lost in the semi-
finals to Southwest Missouri State. Their
total record was (5-3 for the tournament.
North Texas was represented in the
junior division at TCU by Roger Rain-
water and Susan Duquesnay, who had
a 3-3 record; Lillian Hardwick and Roy-
beth Blackburn, 3-3, and Frank Lytle
and Dale Chenoweth, 4-2.
The NTSU teams were accompanied
by Dr. DeMougeot; William Medley, as-
sistant debate coach; Dr. Don Beck of
the speech faculty and graduate assis-
tant Carol Myers.
At the Homecoming Debate, Miss
Stricklin and Segal's main contention
was, "Containing all communism is un-
desirable and unessential to national se-
curity." The main part of their affirma-
tive case was focused on Viet Nam.
They said that the threat to the United
States is from North Viet Nam. a small
power, and not from a great power such
as Bed China.
On the negative side, the TCU de-
baters' main contentions were: 1. That
subversion is perpetrated by Russia and
Heil China. 2. This subversion is as dang-
erous as outright aggression.
Judges of the Homecoming Debate
were Dr. C'ordell Smith of the govern-
ment department, Dr. R. V. Holland, di-
rector of speech and drama, and Dr.
.lames L. Rogers, vice-president for ad-
ministrative affairs. They reached a 2-1
decision.
Thursday night, Miss Stricklin and
Segal will debate the University of
Houston In-fore the Husiness anil Pro-
fessional Women's Club of Dallas.
This weekend North Texas debaters
will resume action at tournaments at
Louisiana Polytechnic (Ruston) and
Central State (Kdmond, Okla.)
Theater, which began in 1!)48. was unique
in that a supper was included with the
presentation of a one-act play. Because
of a lack of facilities, the supper had to
Picture on Pane 3
be discontinued.
But the same organization, supperless,
is beginning its first season under its
new name, Theater 11.
THEATER IPS PURPOSE is to ex-
periment with new scripts, costumes and
lighting techniques. It also gives needed
experience to student actors, directors
and stage crews.
The first play, "Little Boy and Fat
Man," is an original one-act play written
by Dr. Robert Lockwood and directed by
David Elki.is. It is a study of man's
emotions under stress. These emotions
reveal the uncivilized actions that man
often displays.
The second production, "The Murder
of Lidice," is a long narrative poem h,-
Ednu St. Vincent Millay. It tells of the
strife faced by a family and a pair of
lovers in Germany during World War II.
It is directed by Bonny McGee.
THEATER II will also have a spring
production. Scheduled for Feb. 15-17 are
James Thurber's "Thurber Carnival" and
"Spoon River Anthology" by Edgar Lee
Masters.
Theater II sponsors Carl J. Marder
and Paul I'ettigrew said more produc-
tions will be presented when the new
Speech and Drama Building is complet-
ed. A lack of rehearsal space is limit-
ing the theater's productions to two this
year.
"The quality of tonight's plays will be
equal to the standards of the speech and
drama department.." I'ettigrew said.
"However, I'm most excited about the
drama scholarships."
Ticket.- may be purchased at the box
office of the Historical Building or at
the door of the Studio Theater.
everyone a good time," said Skip
Massey, chairman of the Road Trip
Committee.
Girls will need late permission from
the dean of women and a note from home
prior to departure. Students will have
to bring their Boad Trip ticket stub and
activity card. They will not be admitted
to the train without ticket stubs nor
to the game without activity cards.
FORTY OR MORE PERSONS wishing
to reserve a car may do so if they go
to the USNT Senate office on the third
floor of the Union Building by Thurs-
day afternoon.
Everyone is encouraged to wear com-
fortable clothes but be prepared for cold
weather, Massey said.
Both Road Trip bands are made up of
students, '.he New Sound started as a
25-piece orchestra and has been narrow-
ed down to a five-piece group that plays
all over the South.
Last spring band leader Hon Dilulio
set out to create a new sound on the
NT campus. He spent almost a year
organizing a band and selecting men in
British, rhythm and blues, jazz and clas-
sical music.
The band made its debut at a Delta
Sigma Phi rush party in September.
Since that premiere, it has played at the
Sigma Nu-Theta Chi rope pull party, at
the annual University Players Hallo-
ween Blast and at the Homecoming
Dance Friday night.
Band members are Bill Rembert on
lead guitar, (Jus Thomasson on bass,

Oops, Gurgle;
Holy Drano!
Bill Fcrrell, a senior from Tyler,
learned Monday that the curve of
tragedy follows the crook of a
drain pipe.
For years he had flaunted dan-
ger and performed the nightly rit-
ual of washing a contact lens above
an unstoppered basin. But the in-
evitable happened Monday and Fer-
rell watched with a sinking feel-
inn- as an uninsured lense gurgled
down the drain.
He composed himself, and then
sought help next door. No one was
home except the neighbor's dog,
which bit him. He limped to an-
other home and there borrowed a
wrench.
He opened the drain pipe trap,
emptied it and found nothing. No-
thing. But hope glimmered as light
caught a tiny piece of plastic lens
at the very lip of the pipe.
The lucky student retrieved his
lens. As he cleaned it he squeezed
it firmly, happy that he had res-
cued it unmarked from the bowels
of Denton. His squeeze cracked it.

Danny O'Bannon as rhythm guitar, a
version of Beatles, Rolling Stones and
Animals music is produced. All this is
spiced with rhythmn and blues.

2 O'Clock Lab Band
To Give Concert
The 2 O'Clock Lab Band will play its
first informal concert of the season at
2 p.m. today in the Music Rehearsal Hall.
Informal jazz sessions were previous-
ly held in the old Union Building, with
one to three lab bands performing for
the students every Thursday. But with
the coming of the new Union Building,
filled with offices and classrooms, jazz
concerts seemed out of the question.
It was decided recently to have the
concerts in the rehearsal hall at the
regular practice hour. This way, every-
one will have a chance to hear at least
one performance of a lab band, regard-
less of his class schedule.
