However old the theme is, the set ting is new and different, for this struggle takes place in a New York pool room and the contestants are a pair of skillful pool sharks or hustlers. Fast Eddie Felson (Paul Newman) is a pool hustler who goes from town to town with his partner Charlie (Myron McCormick) making a living by concealing his skill in pool until .he has drawn the commonplace players into betting heavily and then proceeds to win carefully. Although Eddie does quite well with this racket, he is obsessed with New York and a match with the king of the pool hall, Minnesota -Fats (Jackie Glea- son). He gets his match with Fats, builds his lead, and then liquor, fatigue and Fats catch up with him. Licking his wounds, Eddie falls in love with a lame lush named Sarah (Piper Laurie), and moves into her flat. He sends friend Charlie packing, and get both thumbs broken by three tough, guys, .after,, showing off in a waterfront pool hall. Eventually his thumbs mend, and he signs with gambling kingpin Bert Gordon ( George C. Scott), takes Sarah -on tour, and then tragedy strikes. Eddie goes back to New York-for a re-match with Fats, knowing that any victory will be a Pyrrhic one and in the end nobody wins. . The Hustler received nine ■Academy Award nominations in 1961, four alone going to the acting achievements of Newman, Miss Laurie, Gleason, and Scott. It won two awards both involving-the photography of the film. It can be said with some validity that as long as the action is centered on the pool table the picture has something like the (Continued on Page 3) NOTICE There will be a vocational guidance meeting Friday, 10 a.m., for all freshmen and any upperclassmen that are interested. The period is designed to help students choose the proper vocation.. Any upperclassmen interested in attending should contact Dean Hood's office. Test Trial Amendment Authorized WASHINGTON — The Senate voted Monday to authorize a five year, $1.9 billion program of federal aid for college construction. Sponsors fear the House may object to one of its provisions. This is an amendment giving specific, permission for a taxpayer's suit to test the constitutionality of any grant or loan to a religious college. The amendment was sponsored by Sen. Sam J. Ervin, D-N.C, who told the Senate he opposes the program because "it opens the public purse to religious schools in wholesale fashion." The measure authorizes grants and loans for new classrooms at four-year and junior colleges and would benefit public and private colleges. It goes beyond President Kennedy's proposed three- year program of loans only, but was strongly supported by Senate administration leaders. The bill, which passed, the Senate by a vote of 60 to 19, was sent to the House. The House passed a $1.2 billion three- year aid bill on Aug. 14, but without any taxpayer suit provision. Both Senate and House bills would bar federal aid for any facilities to be used for sectarian instruction or worship. Also-barred from any federal, aid funds would' be stadiums and auditoriums where admission is charged.

STEPS IN MURAL PAINTING — Stetson artist-in-residenee Louis Freund, left, and Stetson art seniors Kenny Butler, kneeling, Princeton, N.J., and Nancy Irish, Lima, Peru, go over two of the sketches Freund used for painting a 13 by 39 foot mural. A display now in Stetson's art gallery shows every step, from rough inks to * large black and white drawing, that artist Freund made before he painted the final canvas, now in- an Arkansas bank. ELIZABETH HALL ART GALLERY Stetson University Artists Show Work Two Stetson University artists, Fred Messersmith, professor and chairman of the art department, and Louis Freund, artist in residence, are currently showing examples of their work in the art gallery in Elizabeth Hall. Messersmith is exhibiting a selection of water colors and ink drawings. , They are based on Central Florida scenes as well as sites in Eureka Springs, Ark., and in Italy at Venice and Positano, where he painted on a foreign grant in 1962. Freund's exhibit shows the step-by-step development of a large mural. It was commissioned by the American National Bank of Rodgers, Ark., and was painted there last summer.' PROCEDURES DEPICTED From the first rough ink sketches, through a series of more detailed and enlarged sketches and paintings in., both oil and water color, to the last large black and white finished drawing ready to be transferred Installation Is Slated For * SU Chapter A new chapter of Pi Kappa Lambda, national music honor society, will be installed on Stetson University's DeLand campus Nov. 9, according to Dean Paul Langston of the School of Music.

The dean of the Northwestern University's School of Music and president-general of Pi Kappa Lambda, George Hower- ton, will preside at the installation. Stetson Dean W. Hugh McEniry will accept the charter. The charter was granted by the executive committee of the national organization after a careful screening of Stetson's qualifications, Langston said. It was granted for the competence of the' faculty and the rigorous music training given students. Membership in Beta Gamma is open to faculty members and to outstanding juniors and seniors in the School of Music. Seniors must be in the upper fifth of their class and juniors in the upper tenth. No student may be elected whose average in all subjects is less than a B. Charter faculty members of Stetson Beta Gamma chapter are Dr. Langston; Donald C. Yaxley, professor; Paul R.

Hause, instructor. ; HANK BALLARD AND THE MIDNIGHTERS" will be the performing band for the 1963 Greek Week Ball, which will be held at the Riviera Motel in Daytona Beach, Saturday, November 9th. Four Attend Meet | Four members of Stetson University's speech and drama department attended the Florida Speech Conference in Sarasota, Oct.-18-19. They are Dr. Mary Louise Gehring, Dr. Irving C. Stover, Bruce Griffiths, and Betty N. Mack. Dr. Stover founded the conference in 1928. Florida teachers discussed programs for improving their work at the conference. Dr. Gehring was a member of a panel on "Forensics in the Modern Floi- ida High School." Greenbriers Available For Student Use , There has been some question about whether organizations on campus can rent' the new Greenbrier buses. Dr. Johns was responsible for their, purchase and has stated the general policy on their use 1o be: that they are intended for University functions and are for use by organizations representing Stetson (basketball team, soccer team, chorus, S.U.B. board, etc.). But-he-also said that they can be rented-by other organizations on campus (religious organizations, honor- aries, etc.) provided they are not in use or needed by those organizations representing the whole student body. The price for renting these buses' which hold nine people each, is 8 cents per mile arid the organization renting them must furnish their own drivers. The drivers, who must have chauffer's licenses, are required to have their names listed with either Dr. Johns or Sgt. Becker prior to renting the buses. Sgt. Becker is in charge of renting these buses and should be notified well in advance of the proposed date for their use. If any organizations have any questions concerning the use or rental of these vehicles, Sgt.' Becker will be glad to answer them. to the wall, the procedures in creating a mural are dramatically depicted. The final size of Freund's mural is 13 by 39 feet. This part of the show is designed to illustrate just what goes into such a mural. "It is not all inspiration," Freund . says. "The artist does not, contrary to popular opinion, just start in one corner of the canvas and fill it up. The creation of a mural is similar to writing a play or a story. One must get an idea, plan it, develop it, and make an appealing design out of it." ■ PROBLEMS LISTED Working about a year on the mural, Freund had to consider the bankers' idea of the subject matter, limitations of the space, and the color and style of the bank's existing furniture and decorations. These elements combined with the artist's ideas and skill evolved through changes and c ompromises into the finished mural. Stetson students posed for the - main figures, and Fred Messersmith's small' daughter for the child, in the mural. The center group depicts agriculture, a man with a cow, a woman with chickens, and a girl with a sheep. Johnson Speaks At Ft.
