Justin Wilson, a professional safety consultant in his usual role, will take on his comedy role of âThe Cajunâ in an appearance here.
âOleâ Joostan,â as his Cajun friÂends call him, is a native of DenÂham Springs, La. It was through his work as a safety consultant that he has become known as a foremost American humorist. His first album was a recording of one of his many safety talks, but many people thought his performÂance was exceptional and brought his recording.
Wilson says he tells his famous Cajun tales and âwhen they ainât looking, I slip in a few things a- bout safety.â
This routine has met with the wholehearted approval of columnÂists and writers, who have comÂmended his handling of the Cajun dialect, along with his ability to entertain and inform all kinds of people.
The doors will open at 7:15 p.m., with the price of admission either an activity ticket and identificaÂtion card, or $1. No seats have been reserved, according to Robert L. Boone, Town Hall adviser.

Travel Committee Requests Return Of Display Books
Due to an apparent misunderÂstanding on the part of some persons, 30 books and 58 pamÂphlets are missing from the MSC Travel Committeeâs display, which was set up in the MSC Fountain Room.
Reggie Richardson, chairman of the committee, said the perÂsons aparently thought the books could be removed from the fountain room and the pamÂphlets kept. However, the comÂmittee had borrowed the books and pamphlets from Cushing Memorial Library, and face a heavy expense if they are not reÂturned.
Richardson asked that if someÂone had mistakenly picked up a pamphlet or book, he would apÂpreciate the return of it to either the Student Program OfÂfice in the MSC or to the second floor of Cushing Library.
âWe will appreciate this help, and are sorry if there was some misunderstanding about the books and pamphlets,â RichardÂson said.
Annual Awards Talks Highlight MSC Banquet
James Ray officially took office as president of the Memorial StuÂdent Center Council last night at the annual council and directorate banquet held in the MSC BallÂroom.
Program for the evening feaÂtured an exotic banquet meal, preÂsentation of various MSC distinÂguished service, appreciation and special awards, the annual address by Michael M. Schneider, outgoing Council president, and the main address of the evening by Dr. Earl E. Harper, director of the Iowa Memorial Union, State University of Iowa.
In his address, Harper sought to portray the full image of the College-university union, in its many areas of service and activity.
The noted college union authorÂity presented basic ideals that are common with all unions, to inÂclude fostering personal fellowÂship between professors and stuÂdents, and between students and other students.
He explained the responsibility of the union to the university famÂily, which includes even much more than students, faculty and adtnin- istration members, or others diÂrectly associated wjth the educaÂtional institution, but to the many guests visiting the âliving roomâ of any campus as well.
âRecreation is important, and there are many fine products of it. After one is relaxed, an esÂsentiality for anyone, he is ready to tackle the job at hand with much more enthusiasm and ability. The union provides for this in a number of ways,â said Harper.
âBut if we are not careful, the union can easily become considÂered a glorified fun palace and extended snack bar.
Prof Sets Summer Study At Oak RidgeJack M. Inglis of the DepartÂ
ment of Wildlife Management will study the effects of radiation on manâs environment during a seven- week institute this summer at Oak Ridge, Tenn.
Inglis is one of 20 college and university teachers chosen to learn how to evaluate the effects of raÂdiation on plants and animals in nature.
During the first phase of inÂstruction, Inglis will hear discusÂsion to set the stage for the study, followed by field trips and field experiments.
Later the professors will learn uses of radioisotopes and other new tools in teaching and conductÂing research for a better underÂstanding of the impact of atomic energy on manâs environment.
The last two weeks will involve independent research applying techÂniques learned with problems reÂsulting from atomic waste disÂposal and fallout.
Following the summer project, Inglis hopes to begin research in radiation ecology here. He pointÂed out that further study is needÂed on effects of atomic waste disÂposal and fallout on plants and animals.
âLittle research has been done,â Inglis said, âregarding the effects of radiation in nature. Ecologists are about 50 years behind the physiologists in study of nuclear effects.â
The Oak Ridge project is sponÂsored by the National Science Foundation and the U. S. Atomic Energy Commission, in cooperaÂ
tion with the Ecological Society of America.
Inglis emphasized that the very small quantities of radio active materials in nature are not danÂgerous and âno catastrophe is exÂpected tomorrow.â
âBut,â he added, âthere is a need to understand the implications of releasing quantities of unnatural radio active materials into manâs environment. How, for example, will low doses of radiation affect man through his environment. What effect will it have upon plants and animals consumed by man. What use can be made of radioisotopes to study natural proÂcesses.â
Drill Team Leaves For S. A. Fiesta
The Fresmman Drill Team leaves Friday for the annual Fiesta Flambeau Parade in San Antonio to be held Saturday night.
The crack freshmen, commandÂed by Jack Schmid, â65, are enterÂed against 18 drill teams from several states. The team will perÂform its famous trademark, moveÂment, the âRipple,â at the parade reviewing stand, according to sponsor Capt. Calvin Reese.
This will probably be the last trip of the year for the team, said Reese. The team has participated in competetions in Laredo and Baton Rouge earlier this lear, compiling an enviable record.
