Ready For Next Season

Players from the above group will fill the vacancies created by the graduation of Tom Katsimpalis and
Jim Johnson. Top prospects are Dwayne "Moose" Roe and Martin Chilovich. Tallest of the group is Sonny
Rigg at 6'5" while Ed Taylor follows close behind at 6'4". Roe, although playing very little throughout the
season, proved himself a probable starter for next season with sterling performances against Michigan Nor-
mal, Indiana State, and Huron College and Morningside in the Kansas City Tournament.

York. (I will dash down to Florida,
however for a week or l 0 days
in late January to be with my
mother.) After that date, as always
and when in doubt, use my per- ·
manent address at Oakland, Illi-
nois.

At present I'm completing the
course requirements for my doc-
torate at Columbia University. Act-
ually, I'm taking classes this semes-
ter at Columbia University, Teach-
ers College, and New York Univer-
- sity. My overloaded schedule of
21 semester points keeps me rather
tied down but I'm completely
happy when working. (I relax by
conducting the International Cho-
rale here in New York.)

One of my greatest joys is the
work I'm doing with Dr. James L.
Mursell and Dr. Lilla Belle Pitts, of
course. However, I find all other
courses full of challenge too. These
"other courses" are entirely "out
of my field." I'm doing two classes
in movie production, with constant
camera work, script writing and
direction for educational, documen-
tary, music, mission, etc. films.

I'm also doing special work with
still cameras with Life's photogra-
pher, Von Behr, and Tape Record-
ing techniques at C.B.S. with Joel
Tall, chief engineer.

Now why all the technical cour-
ses? Well, on or around February
